| Jazz for aficionados If I like smoked oysters, that doesn't count, I guess? | |
| Jazz for aficionados I didn't "acquire" a taste for jazz, it's part of me and the way I live. I would have to "acquire" a taste for classical music, which I have no intention of doing.That's where I was coming from; there is so much music that comes under the heading... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Dave, I'm in the process of building a table for the TT to record on the concrete floor in the basement; no vibrations there, but upstairs on hardwood floors, that's like a springboard for a TT.. Soon will be my first time to seriously get into r... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, I like smoked oysters, but not "raw" oysters, no way ever. There was a sea food place I went to for lunch, and had "Bouillabaisse" almost everyday, and I watched this guy slurp down raw oysters; he made them look so good that I wanted to ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, some of "Jazz jazz" is an acquired taste; some of early Miles for sure; I know I'm not going to spend time trying to acquire a taste for raw oysters, and I see no reason to "acquire" a taste for music; you like it or you don't like it,... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Those are very good recommendations Eric; I've looked at what a number of those people have to offer, and it's all good. Going with someone who has all the test equipment, expertise, and cabinet making facility's is the best way to go.Parts Expre... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Dave and Veridian, these are the Heil AMT's from "Wkipedia"; this tells all about them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Motion_TransformerI use 6 inch Vifa for the midrange; they developed some new 6 inch midrange speakers, so I got them f... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Dave, I just listen to music without thinking about my speakers, but when someone said speakers are the most important thing in a rig; that started me to thinking about my speakers. When I tried to evaluate them, there was nothing to evaluate; th... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Dave, my crossovers have one for each driver, and I used Jentzen Silver Z- cap, except for the woofer where I use Solen Caps; all of that to get a speaker that does not exist.I've seen the Thiel crossover, it's a monster. Since I specified the bi... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Dave, are there any capacitors that can replace "Black Gates"? Time is what has to be in the evaluation for the answer to that question. I replaced all my electrolytics with Black Gates a long time ago, and all those old components function like... | |

| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Dave, I told the engineer I liked Thiel speakers; as I stated he was eccentric, after I picked out the drivers, he designed the crossover. As an example of his eccentricity; I told him I was going to change the value of a capacitor, and he told m... | |

| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. You have good taste Viridian, but I already knew that.My crossover is a 3-way, 4th order crossover, T-Type; but I didn't design it. A very eccentric engineer designed it. This was quite awhile ago, before computers were as common as they are now... | |
