| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? @audioguy85, This is what we call a sh**post. This is how entire threads get deleted. A completely off-topic little rant. I'm glad you feel better. | |
| Blue Note Tone Poet Series I love 'For Django' as well. What I don't love is that pervasive low-level 8K(ish) tone that begins with each tracks' modulation and runs throughout (except between tracks). Clearly audible even with alexberger's videos above. It seems to bothe... | |
| For lovers of the 1961 West Side Story soundtrack lp. I prefer the original Broadway cast version from 1957 to the film soundtrack from 1961 - far better performances all around. If you can find it, this version is absolutely stellar: https://www.discogs.com/release/7979129-Leonard-Bernstein-West... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Joe Jackson - Body and Soul - double 45RPM Intervention Records reissue. Fabulous. | |
| Impressions of Coincident Speakers @bradf My woofers face inward in my current setup, yielding a much better in room response (via listening and measurement), than facing outward. Room is approximately 14.5 feet wide by 21 feet long, suspended wood-frame structure (I still miss ... | |
| Impressions of Coincident Speakers Another long-time (12 year) owner of Coincident Total Eclipse II here. I would echo Charles' sentiments regarding the speakers' low coloration, wide open soundstage, excellent dynamics and ease of load. While I always have felt the rated 94+dB s... | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition Another vote for Khozmo/Hattor. Arek's latest passive using reed relays as opposed to a stepped potentiometer is fantastic (Takman REX/AMRG resistors) . My former passive was a Slagle/Intact audio autoformer pair (a fine sounding unit in its own... | |
| Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment Silversmith Audio Fidelium speaker cables. | |
| Linn Sondek- Origin Live upgrades anyone? I tried the 'Advanced' speed control box/motor back when I owned an LP-12 (we're going back well over 10 years) and was unimpressed. The DC motor was decent enough, but the speed drifted like crazy since it was/is an open-loop controller, without... | |
| Trelja and friends in New York, 2004 Having been a member here since 2000, I echo the opinions of the last two posts. One used to be able to have a meaningful discussion, and one could actually learn something. Now, not so much. Sad. You know who you are. | |
| Stack Audio's Alto PSU or Vinyl Passion's revolution 2 for Linn LP12 ? I've heard neither, but I like the engineering philosophy behind the Stack Audio unit better. The Vinyl Passion unit appears to be a Lingo condensed down to a Valhalla sized unit. However, I think the addition of Vinyl Passion's Linn motor clon... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Go. 1st LP. Stomu Yamashta, Steve Winwood, Michael Shrieve | |
| Are there passive attenuators that don't zero volume and only offer one input ? I'm in agreement with mitch2 - the Khozmo represents exceptional dynamic transparency, and an attractive price. I use a stereo version, with three inputs and two outputs, Vishay Nude Z-Foils and Takman REX shunts (carbon vs metal film of the REY)... | |
| Need Female BNC to Male RCA 90 degree adaptor...? I work as as AV professional and have never seen that exact 90 degree configuration. You can easily do it with two adaptors however - RCA F to M 90 and then a straight F BNC to M RCA. The depth (at the 90) would be the same, just a bit longer in ... | |
| Luminous Audio: Are They Still In Business? Khozmo. Furnish him with your system parameters (input and output impedance, speaker sensitivity, amplifier gain) , and he will design a solution for you. Wonderfully built, affordable, astonishingly transparent. It took a long while to dislodg... |
