| The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars! Right. I don't think there is ONE set-up procedure that applies for every situation. So knowledge (reading recommendations to narrow the possibilities), experimentation, and patience are required for every installation.Speaking of attenuating th... | |
| The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars! davey, I think the need for treatment on the front wall behind the speakers is a function of how far out into the room you can place them. With the recommended 5' or greater there should be no need.Also, in a recent conversation with Wendell he r... | |
| Don't waste money on ultrasonic RCMs Lew, did you get that recommendation* from Sam Tellig? ;^)*I just hope everyone knew you were kidding and that no one tries it! | |
| joule electra vs. atma-sphere any input? I wouldn't doubt Ralph is correct.But I discussed this with Jud many years ago. His feeling was that balanced was critical with long cable runs, such as in studios, but not necessarily so with the lengths in most home audio systems. He said to b... | |
| Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B Thanks for the confirmation jp. I’m glad I didn’t misunderstand what the Technics rep told us.Also, while there should be no doubt, pictures of the three Technics plinths (3, 5, & 7) show the differences. | |
| Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B Lew, and others, as I reported elsewhere, the SP-10 R was designed to be a drop in for plinths made for the SP-10 Mk 2 and 3. When I heard a recent demo of the SL-1000R at a local dealer the Technics rep emphasized that point. Apparently they wa... | |
| Hartley speakers--anyone heard/heard of? I initially subscribed to Stereophile in 1971 and recall that J Gordon listed some model Hartley speakers in his recommendation list during the '70s. I also remember reading about the HQD system but never got to hear it. The Decca tweeter was a ... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) smer and others, a rep from Technics emphasized that the SP-10R was designed as a drop-in for anyone having a SP-10 Mk 2 or Mk3 set up, but wanting advantages of the new motor design. It bolts into the same position as those. So it is not just f... | |
| Jazz for aficionados This for fans of Dexter Gordon. I'm on the mailing list for the PBS "Antiques Roadshow" and just received this link -http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/roadshow/stories/articles/2014/5/5/dexter-gordon-bebop-copenhagenThose of you who might also be film buff... | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp, it was called "The Car Show", not to be confused with "Car Talk" with Tom and Ray which was syndicated out of Boston, or should I say Harvard Square.I listened to "The Car Show" directly from an LA FM station which was part of the Pacifica Ne... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, I guess it helps if you know what you're listening for. Yes I heard the oinks and grunts first time but never supposed it might be a piglet. And the first song was a couple minutes in before I read the comments to see the pig reference. S... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hey frog, thanks for commenting. But while I didn't listen all the way through either of your links I couldn't identify any particular unusual instrument. However comments posted under the first one did say Pascoal played a "live pig" in one con... | |
| Jazz for aficionados My suggestion for Joe Henderson, try the whole album or at least look for favorite tunes -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QN4voczlaxk | |
| Jazz for aficionados And now for something completely different.I heard this on my favored jazz station this morning and it raised an interesting question -- what is the most unusual instrument featured in a jazz recording?One seemingly easy answer might be the bagpip... | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp, sorry but I just realized I never confirmed your question about the Chevy pictured with that video. Yes, it was a 1958 Impala. That was the first year the Impala replaced the Bel-Air as their top model. A friend in HS had a turquoise '58 I... |
