| Best Vintage Speakers for Classical & Jazz music Great speakers. I recently fired up a pair of LFT-8b’s for a change of pace and, surprisingly, the Snell As are not far from the LFT’s, I was surprised when I installed them. oops.. I just looked up the Mc 1700..40 watts. Not enough for the Sn... | |
| which tube dac? Lab 12 vs Line Magnetic vs Borderpatrol? Just picked up a MHDT Orchid yesterday and I'm listening to it now. I rolled a few tubes through it (stock type 5670, Western Electric JW 2C51, and an Amperex 6922) and the Amperex wins..super nice sounding DAC. My now former DAC was a Paradise... | |
| The law of diminshing returns? The "law" is just an equation, y = 1/x. It doesn't just apply in some cases or to some people, it applies in all cases. Though subjectivity & opinion can bend your world any way you want, this doesn't change reality. "Diminishing returns" ... | |
| Jays Audio Being Dismantled-Final videos Really not sure that all the fuss about this guy is warranted. Folks seem to think he's making big money as a hi-fi ambassador, reselling gear that he got at a huge discount and making big money by doing so... I was an analyst for many years. ... | |
| Does Anyone Else Have a Very Slow Connection to Audiogon? Not overly slow in my case, but they keep logging me out, which is annoying. | |
| Christina Pulhar..spin it up @kr4 Very nice! Thanks for the suggestion. I'm listening now. | |
| Speaker recommendations welcomed Another vote for the Eminent Technology LFT 8b or LFT-8c | |
| Christina Pulhar..spin it up Altissima: Works for High Baroque Trumpet Josh Cohen • Ensemble Sprezzatura • Daniel Abraham Glorious. | |
| Christina Pulhar..spin it up Been listening through her (and L'Arpeggiata, the ensemble she she assembled in 2000) catalog. Lots of exceptional music. so far, listened to: Ciaccone, Bergamasche e un po’ di Follie (excellent) Monteverdi: Teatro d'amore (very good) Musi... | |
| Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why? Another vote for Eminent Technology LFT-8b. I think they punch waay above their weight class. Any (used) *8" model can be brought up to the current model for a modest cost, with mfg support...including the latest LFT-8c..which is getting rave re... | |
| Jay’s Audio Lab is shutting down I watched a few of his videos. For me, not that it matters, the whole thing doesn't add up. He has 36K subscribers and most of his videos get a minimal number of views (5K-25K). I think it's reasonably safe to say he's not making lunch money (on... | |
| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? I did hear a significant widening and raising of the soundstage this morning when trying a number of new panel placement angles(off axis rotating away from my listening chair). Very happy with the results. ..and I think I have a final design... | |
| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? I understand what you’re saying. I’ve done a fair amount of research and have viewed a number of Danny’s videos on open baffles, dipoles, baffle width, baffle diffraction..etc. As for one owner claiming something...good to be aware of, but lot... | |
| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? A rough idea of what the re-frame might look like. The oval on top would probably a carving of some sort. I'm thinking maybe a walnut / bordeaux wine color dyed cherry mix. | |
| Jay’s Audio Lab is shutting down @rpeluso Interesting. He must go through a fair amount of equipment to support a channel. I'll have to take a look. HR, given the size of the guy, that's sort of humorous. I can see a new employee during orientation.. Jay: "..and that's prett... |
