| You had Theta in the past, what did you move onto? Esoteric. | |
| Best way to keep REL sub from “hopping around” at high volumes Build a box, fill it with sand (covered by a lid), paint it black, put it on top of the sub. | |
| What's it worth to you? I have some records I value very highly, but which aren’t worth a lot monetarily. Capitol Records released "Caroline, No" as a single, credited to Brian Wilson alone. The song was included on the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds album that was released a fe... | |
| GR-Research Line Force First Transparent Speakers? For those who don’t know, the discontinuation of the original B-G NEO drivers (the NEO 3, 8, and 10) put an end to the availability of the GR Research full line-source magnetic-planar model kit (which @jaytor has just completed building), as well ... | |
| Subwoofer suggestions for budget system? If at all possible, you want to use an OB/Dipole sub with your Maggies. But that can't be done for $300. Check out the sub offered by GR Research (in collaboration with Rythmik Audio), and start saving! | |
| GR-Research Line Force First Transparent Speakers? Awesome @jaytor! I’m green with envy :-( . And I’m only a half hour or so away from you ;-) . I know of a few guys who replaced the magnetic-planar midrange driver in their Tympani T-IVa loudspeakers (which I own) with six or seven NEO-8’s. The NE... | |
| New In 2022 @jafant: And reading ;-) . | |
| In praise of the duet. ^^^ Oops, MILK Carton Kids. Freudian slip? ;-) | |
| In praise of the duet. Thanks fellas, some interesting titles of which I was unaware, particularly that of Nils Lofgren. @bgross: Richard & Linda Thompson are longtime favorites of mine. I have used their Shoot Out The Lights album as loudspeaker demo material since... | |
| New In 2022 2023 is right around the bend, so newly-announced next-year titles are already popping up. This one is not an LP or CD, but rather a memoir: Don’t Tell Anybody The Secrets I Told You by Lucinda Williams. For those who don’t know, Lucinda’s father... | |
| How much is about the recording When you finally hear a good direct-to-disk LP, you realize how mediocre most recorded music sounds. But there are almost no direct-to-disk LP’s which contain music you actually want to hear more than once, let alone love. Finding gear which give... | |
| Ultrasonic record cleaners Amongst the suggestions Neil makes for an LP cleaning process/procedure, my favorite new step is to pre-rinse the LP in the sink. I bought an item on ebay to facilitate that rinse: a product comprised of a pair of LP label-size clear plastic discs... | |
| how were copies of vinyl made in "third-party" countries "Apologists" for current LP prices make the case that adjusted for inflation, $35 now is actually cheaper than $5 was in the late-60’s. Is there an economist reading this who can confirm or refute that assertion? While audiophile reissues are aro... | |
| how were copies of vinyl made in "third-party" countries @richopp: Yeah, in the 50’s/60’s/70’s/80’s LP’s weren’t being made for audiophiles with high end audio systems, they were being made for record changers, TV/hi-fi consoles, cheap Japanese turntables, etc. Labels like Analogue Productions/QRP, Spea... | |
