| Best Speaker for $2500 Rock - Jazz, No Clue Since you like your Dynaudios, consider a crossover and sub. $1k is a good budget and you wouldn't have to fool around with selling, packing and shipping speakers, not to mention optimizing speaker placement for the new ones. | |
| Eco-friendly Bamboo ply speakers Cdc,Looks good from the numbers. No crossover I presume. Are you building a Carolina Audio JTM clone? You should start a thread to keep us informed on your progress. | |
| What is the test of time? Robm321,You should revisit "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". I think you'd be surprised by some of the orchestral arrangements. "When I'm Sixty-Four" has one of my all time favorite clarinet hooks. | |
| What is the test of time? I'm glad to see this thread didn't turn out to be purely academic. Fun stuff ‘goners!One thing to keep in mind about Devo is that it was originally assembled for performance art, putting a high priority on shock value. In the cult realm, I'd say t... | |
| What is the test of time? Robm321,Good post. I guess what I'm getting at is that the "test of time" doesn't seem to apply to art in general, music included. It's an easy one to apply to architecture, theorems, beauty, etc, but art might indeed be timeless.Perhaps I shouldn... | |
| Eco-friendly Bamboo ply speakers Give it a listen, you'll be floored. Heh. | |
| Eco-friendly Bamboo ply speakers If the speakers are like the bamboo cutting boards I mentioned previously, it's not a veneer. It is plywood of sorts. And SOLID. I mean SOLID. A rap of the knuckles on one of the cutting boards revealed amazing "inertness". It was about 12" x 20" ... | |
| Eco-friendly Bamboo ply speakers I don't know about speakers, but I've been eyeing some bamboo cutting boards in a local shop to try in a DIY isolation platform project. | |
| Whats a good inexpensive passive pre If you want a remote, Placette is a no-brainer. I have been contemplating one lately myself. I've never heard one in my own system, but have been impressed by them in other systems. If you can stretch your budget a little for a used one, I don't t... | |
| Am I missing something? I agree with all the above. If you "must" tinker, play around with tweaks and isolation devices. | |
| Music that always ends up being played I seem to turn to the three albums that Soul Coughing put out all the time - "Ruby Vroom", "Irresitible Bliss" and "El Oso". Pretty good sonically, amazing production. Alt-rockish, interesting samples, but jazz influenced as all the band members w... | |
| Yeah baby....I found a mate Are you sure B & W didn't go with multiple smaller drivers to avoid massive cabinets? Compare the cabinets of the 801 Matrix and Nautilus iterations. | |
| Best value power amp with output level controls. Describe the issue with your volume pot. If it's just noisey or seems to fluctuate up and down while being adjusted, it might just need a cleaning. You could do it yourself very easily with can of television tuner cleaner, available at any Radio S... | |
| What Guitarists Remind You Of SRV Or Hendrix? Tab Benoit has a little SRV flavor from time to time.When Stevie went down, my friends and I embarked on a three day bourbon binge, bungee-jumping off any bridge we could find in homage. None of us remember how many jumps we made, but we started i... | |
| Meridian 508.20 or Wadia 830 or Wadia 301???? I might be chiming in a bit late here, but this is what I'd suggest. Find a Meridian 506.20 which can be picked up used for well under a grand. I listened to quite a few machines and settled on it because of it's ease and warmth. Great detail and ... |
