| By popular demand. bdp24, I wouldn't say "serious" problems but it was a compromise I did not have to make. Jim Strickland of Acoustat and Roger West of soundlabs were/are both determined to make 1 way full range electrostatic speakers. The problem is that it is vir... | |
| Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary delivery . Not sure why the Japs do this but the US always takes the back of the bus. They do the same thing with wood working tools. They send us the bottom of the barrel stuff keeping the best for for their local market. I always have to order direct from ... | |
| VPI new turntable- Prime 21 God save the Queen. It has a gimbal bearing arm! A major step in the right direction for VPI. Now, if it's suspension feet are engineer properly it could be quite a table for the money. Still have to engineer a dust cover around it. | |

| By popular demand. Lewm, how are they set up? Two each side and two in the center? Eliminating the electronics may upset the frequency response. How is he equalizing them? I did the same with the 2+2s. I eliminated the complex interface replacing it with one large t... | |

| By popular demand. Fair enough. Very difficult speaker to match subs to. The Harleys never quite made it. If you ran them up higher to take the load off the Quads they became very noticable. I do not think even digital bass management could have gotten them to work.... | |
| Jazz is not Blues and Blues is not Jazz....... The two have obviously diverged but they come from the same place blues being a bit more ancient. Jazz frequently plays homage to blues as in Kind of Blue. But the intent of genres has changed so much that blues in particular is hardly recognizabl... | |

With a good system imaging correctly a c... | |
| By popular demand. I know them well! I have been party to the destruction of three of them.Mark Levinson made a stand that stacked two Quads on either side of a Decca ribbon tweeter. The system was finished off with two 30" Hartley subwoofers. It was driven by six 2... | |
