Woofer sucking in and out
Saw a number of typos in my reply but can't seem to find the edit control. 
Woofer sucking in and out
Hi Ct0517,Thank you for your reply.I did see that but I still feel the arm/cartride relationship needs to be examined again. Moving the TT probably only reduced the problem exhibited by that relationship. The low freuency pumping of the woofers is...

Woofer sucking in and out

Re: Story about Ringo
Ringo had a great musical sensibility for The Beatles' songs. His contribution to their overall sound was critical. I couldn't imagine many of their songs being as good without him behind the drums.One thing that made his playing unique is that he... 
Ringo Starr or Charlie Watts???
Hi Audiofeil,We both got it slightly incorrect. According to the book "The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions" it was Andy White who played on at least one early Beatles song. This book is really interesting in an acedemic sort of way. It lists e...

musical drummers...who are they ???
Hi All,I would cast a vote for Hal Blaine - the great session drummer. His playing always seemed to be exactly what a particular song required. Best,Barry 
Infinity Kappa 9's
Hi MT,The Infinity Kappa 9 speakers will require at least one stereo amp that has a huge amount of current as well as high wattage while also being fully stable down to 2 ohms. The Kappa 9s present a severe phase angle to an amp and many amps that... 
Isolating the listening chair?
Typo - It should say: "it would not seem that isolating the listener from the floor by use of vibration control devices would be appropriate."Barry 
Isolating the listening chair?
Hi All,Just to bring this thread back to some serious discussion - it would not seem that isolating the listener from the floor by use of vibration control devices would not be appropriate. If the objective of an audio system is to reproduce the e...
