| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear I just now scrolled through the whole thread, and found inspiration. A lotta great suggestions, some I had forgotten making myself. After subjecting ya’ll to my rant directly above, I thought the least I could do is make a constructive contributio... | |
| Magnepan .7 Alternatives @kingbarbuda: "I think this narrative about Maggies not integrating with subs is a myth." One guy perpetuating this "myth" is Wendell Diller of Magnepan. In his recent introduction of a prototype dipole sub the company will soon be offering, Wende... | |
| New Spatial Audio M4 Ultra @soix: By the way, the woofer towers of the GT Audio system are made using the Rythmik Audio/GR Research OB/Dipole Subwoofer kit. The kit includes a pair of 12" servo-feedback woofers and the Rythmik A370 plate amp, which includes a dipole cancell... | |
| MoFi controversy @sokogear. Yup, I have quite a few Speakers Corner LP's, both Classical and Pop. SC is my second favorite reissue label. | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Obscure is SUCH a subjective matter. Some people are aware of the group Television, others aren’t. Same with The Skeletons/The Morells (same core members), a fantastic band out of Springfield, Missouri, whose fans include Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, ... | |
| New Spatial Audio M4 Ultra Another fan of Spatial Audio and Clayton Shaw is Danny Richie of GR Research. In a recent YouTube video Danny raved about the X4 (I believe it was), recommending it to his customers who can't or don't want to build a GR Research DIY kit. He of cou... | |
| Steely Dan Catalog on UHQR Vinyl Want to hear what a truly great sounding mastering and pressing can do for the sound of an LP? Get a copy of the Cat Stevens Tea For The Tillerman album in: 1: An original U.S.A. A & M Records pressing 2: An original UK "pink label" UK Islan... | |
| MoFi controversy The 1-Step of Tapestry is not one of my best sounding LP’s (the original recording precludes such a possibility), but it is a vast improvement on the original Ode Records LP, as well a moderate one on the 1-LP 33-1/3 MoFi pressing of the album (I ... | |
| Anyone using 2 preamps in their rig? Yes, an EAR-Yoshino 868L and an Audio Research LS1, the latter for it's mode and balance controls. | |
| Magnepan .7 Alternatives I compared the Magnepan MG1.7 to the Eminent Technology LFT-8b. Close in price, not in sound. Why the LFT-8 is not more well known and widely owned remains a mystery to me. Everyone acts like Magnepan is the only maker of planar-magnetic loudspea... | |
| Best vibration isolation for speakers on carpet? For those with speakers which incorporate outrigger bases---and for those who added after-market outriggers to their speakers, individual Townshend Audio Seismic Pods may be substituted for the spikes routinely supplied with outrigger bases. Good ... | |
| are we also coffee connoisseurs? Or wine enthusiasts? Oops, it’s Peet’s, not Pete’s. For beer it’s Grolsch. I like single malt as well as the next guy, but my daily drinker is Johnnie Walker Black. | |
| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? @chowkwan: are you sure about the $750 price for the ET LFT-8? It’s price at introduction 30 years ago (!) was to the best of my knowledge $1500/pr, increasing slightly when the -8A was introduced with improvements, and again when the -8b appeared... | |
| Steely Dan Catalog on UHQR Vinyl For real Rock ’n’ Roll in fantastic master-tape sound, get the Analogue Productions Buddy Holly 33-1/3 LP. Buddy Holly, whose music inspired and was the template for the work of a lot of later (60’s, 70’s, and beyond) Rockers: McCartney & Lenn... | |
| Planar speaker characteristics @terry9: Have you heard about the dipole subwoofer Magnepan is readying for release in the near future? It may be used with any of their speakers (well, maybe not the 30.7 ;-), or any planar for that matter. For DIY'ers, there has been an OB/Dipo... |
