| Do you think you need a subwoofer? You have been chastised by the Category Police and redeemed by Biomimetic! Jolly Good! All I want to say is there are those who have told me they "hate bass" or that they "dont care about bass" and that bass "always messes up the sound". My opinio... | |
| why spikes under speakers??? Ok, maybe 'drain' was the wrong word, 'transfer' might be more accurate. Please take a minute to consider this experience I had. A friend had a TT that had three relatively flat aluminum cones that served as feet. The flat side makes contact with ... | |
| Bryan Ferry - Boys and Girls SACD -long- Search 'Roxy Music Archive' and find a great website. I just found out that the first time I ever heard of Roxy Music was on Dec 28, 1972. I know this now because the US tour is listed and I had no idea who they were when they backed up Edger Wint... | |
| Lucinda Williams Fans? I first became aware of Lucinda Williams from Mary Chapin Carpenters cover of "Passionate Kisses". Found a 1989 cd of Williams own version with four other tracks and was hooked. Dont know exactly what it is about her but she has a special talent. ... | |
| Affordable subwoofer for music cont'd I second the Dayton 10" Titanic from Audio Express. I use two of them and although they dont go much under 30hz with any power they certainly provide the rich weighty foundation that most monitors cant deliver alone. They feature a phase a control... | |
| why spikes under speakers??? The idea that a cone can act to decouple and block vibration sounds no less absurd than the notion that cones can channel vibration. If the large surface area of a cone is in contact with the chassis of a component and the componenet is vibrating ... | |
| why spikes under speakers??? Some spikes are more cone shaped than others. Cones run one way when it comes to vibration. They 'drain' vibration from the speaker cabinet and dont permit vibration from traveling up from the floor. Thats why with cones under components and stand... | |
| What haven't you listened to in a long time, but.. Johnny Winter And "Live". My old copy is so bad I have not tried to listen in years. Found a new vinyl copy at Manifest last week. No 180gm reissue, but it is good enough to enjoy and it was only $4.99! This is one hot live set recorded at the Fil... | |
| underrated or unheard of musician/band New (to me) artists you must hear: The Duhks - self titled young band from Winnapeg, produced by Bela Fleck who guests as well as Edger Meyer, Victor Wooton and others. The first track 'Death Came a Knockin' will hook you. You will hear them, migh... | |
| The most detailed speaker cable?? Expensive cables sure have cool names. | |
| Best budget $100 - 200 Phono Pre-amp? Rotel RQ970BX. Positive reviews site surprisingly high quality parts and overachieving sound quality. It does sound better than anyone should expect for $200 retail. | |
| Loose Veneer, best Fix? Elmers glue is fantastic stuff, but with the old adhesive residue it will not bond well. Try to use an adhesive intended for veneering. | |
| Unintended lyrics Ok, when everyone thought 'Paul is Dead' it was from one line buried in the mix that sounds like "we buried Paul", but according to Paul himself it actually said "cranberry sauce". Not sure about the 'smoke pot smoke pot' thing, but 'smoke on the ... | |
| Is Funkadelic's song "One Nation Under A Groove" "Lets Take it to the Stage" is my favorite, although the cd doesnt sound nearly as good as the old vinyl. Brand new funk - new type thing....Post Crazy-os. | |
| Best Component Ever, for the money My first amp, the nad 3020. Listened to lots of amps that cost more and was happy to plop down about $150 plus tax for the one that sounded the best. With my Frazier Concerto speakers and Thorens TT I was rockin! That was over 20 years ago, today ... |
