How can you evaluate a system with highly processed music?
@quattro: I have a bunch of Peter’s recordings, made for Levinson, Audiofon, and Harmonia Mundi. Excellent sound and music.  
Danny Richie on loudspeaker design.
@willywonka: Like me? ;-) I hear ya. I have learned an awful lot from his videos though, and the OB/Dipole sub he and Brian Ding of Rythmik Audio collaborated on is really special.  
Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update
There were a fair number of negative reviews of MoFi Lp’s before the digital step was revealed. Michael Fremer was removed from MoFi’s promo list because of his panning of certain MoFi titles. Analogue Productions, Speakers Corner, Intervention R... 
How can you evaluate a system with highly processed music?
John Atkinson made the point to Gordon Holt that the sound made by an electric guitar plugged into an amplifier was just as much an acoustic signal as is an acoustic instrument, and he was correct. But recorded sounds produced purely electronicall... 
subwoofer buzz - how to eliminate it
Moving the sub out of the corner may also improved the sound of bass in your room. In his great series of videos, Art Noxon of ASC talks about the high and low pressure areas in the room: standing waves build up along wall/wall, wall/floor, and wa... 
Are carbon fiber speaker cabinets inherently better than wood or metal ones
@lonemountain: Right you are! To see how NOT to build a speaker enclosure, look inside a Tekton (no offense owners of them. They have their strengths, but a non-resonant enclosure is not one of them). Another cost-effective way to damp enclosure ...

Turntable Isolation Journey
It’s always a good idea to locate your floor-located turntable stand as close to an outside wall as possible. Or right above a support beam for the suspended floor. That’s where the floor is most stable, least bouncy. Some new houses are built wi... 
Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update
It just so happens a good number of the MoFi's I bought were made without the digital conversion step: the three Ry Cooder's, for instance. But ya know, a lot of original mastering jobs used an intermediary copy tape as the source---what's called...

How can you evaluate a system with highly processed music?
J.Gordon Holt insisted you couldn’t. Spending a day in a recording studio can be an illuminating learning experience. ;-) Consumer suggestion: record some live music (or even people speaking) yourself with a pair of high quality mics plugged into... 
Infinity Kappa 9 S EMIT not functioning or Hearing Loss?
Failure of the EMIM and EMIT drivers is not uncommon. Paul McGowen had to rebuild a lot of the drivers in the pair of IRS-V's he bought.  
Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update
I'll bet the decrease in sales of new and upcoming MoFi titles is and will continue to hurt MoFi more than does a settlement.  
45 Singles You Just Had to Buy
When in 1976 I discovered the record collector magazines (in particular Goldmine) and dozens of fanzines that had been started to cover the explosion of Power Pop and Punk, as well as the great underground music magazines (most notably Bomp!, the ...

Make your loudspeaker enclosure braces out of carbon fiber if you want.
