Danny Richie "fixes" the Linkwitz Arion loudspeaker
@riverdinaudio just heard these a short while ago as part of an SFAS event in NorCal. An amazing speaker indeed. There are a couple of Linkwitz speaker owners near me and I have enjoyed listening to them. With all due respect to Danny Richie I thi... 
Distributed Bass Array configuration
@brunomarcs no I do not but have been intrigued by Morel and want to try out a set. I built my own DBA as well using Dayton Audio drivers in sealed enclosures. I do not use the Dayton Audio amps, but rather a pair of Bel Canto mono blocks to power... 
Distributed Bass Array configuration
@brunomarcs which model Morel drivers did you get?  
Where should the vocal image be?
+1 for Chesky Jazz Audiophile Vol 2. #47 The entire Opus series of test recordings is also a great resource.  
A new way of adjusting anti skate!
@mijostyn what VTF gauge are you using?  
Brian Eno's Turntable Design
@bdp24, not sure what Dylan thought, doesn't matter either. Both artists inspired many others. There is an old quote that made the rounds among several music folks: "The Velvet Underground didn’t sell many records, but everyone who bought one went... 
Brian Eno's Turntable Design
Just one person's opinion, although Art Dudley agreed with me about Reed, Art putting quotation marks around the word singer when speaking of Lou. A terr-i-ble "singer", and a mediocre songwriter. Art Dudley agreeing with you. Well I guess that...

The price is now 20,000 Pounds Sterling (roughly USD $26,500), only a few left. If you look at it from the perspective that it’s a highly sought after piece of art from a popular figure then it makes sense. As the pieces become fewer the price goe... 
Audiophile Reel to Reel Tape
@fuzztone, do you use the electronics in your Otari for playback? I started off that way but converted an Otari to take the signal direct off the tape head and I have a few dedicated tape preamps that I run that signal through. Quite a difference.... 
Audiophile Reel to Reel Tape
It was in Absolute Sound, not sure of the issue though. However, this list is something I came across and which I think you will find useful:https://www.recordingthemasters.com/music-on-tapes/If you want to acquire some recordings at a fraction of... 
Stereophiles 2021 Recommended Components is now on line.
@bdp24 - there are no more "T" versions to be had. The last production run used in-house wound transformers. They were wound on a George Stevens transformer winder under Roger's supervision and tested by Roger.  
Stereophiles 2021 Recommended Components is now on line.
AND, since Roger's passing a few years ago has not been available new. @bdp24 - There are actually two new RM-200s left from the last production run which was 2017. As I organize the shop they just keep turning up.  
Are all amps being built wrong?
@jasonbourne52 - It's been a couple years so I would have to look at that Harvard H3 again. I seem to recall 1" long beads, but they could have been rods. They were all around the power tube sockets.@bdp24 - I'll see if I can dig something up to v...
