| Your thoughts on best audiophile speakers in $10,000 neighborhood? ++ on the other Vandersteen suggestions especially if you like the sound signature of your 2Cs. I'm also always in favor of listening to other brands if you have a chance to do so as there are a ton of great speakers out there for the money. The... | |
| Songs you use when auditioning gear Sting - Russians from the Blue Turtles album. Steve Winwood - Low Spark from Greatest Hits Live Patty Griffin - Mama’s Worried from the self titled album for acoustic guitar and of course her voice. Led Zeppelin - No Quarter from early Houses o... | |
| Phono Preamp suggestions between either Gold Note PH-10 or Whest TWO.2 I did go ahead with purchasing a Gold Note PH-10 earlier this year after initially upgrading my phono cartridge to a Hana Microline low output cart. With the spec's on the cartridge stating a greater than 100 ohm load impedance I liked that the Go... | |
| Heavy Vinyl There are a number of record companies that still produce all analog pressings from the original tapes. Analog Productions is one of them and I have found everything that I have purchased from them to be of very high quality with excellent SQ. Wit... | |
| Heavy Vinyl I have a decent collection of early pressings of albums from the 1960’s to the 80’s and would estimate less than 1% are warped. But I have also come across very few 180 gram that are warped. As far as sound quality I believe most of my older pres... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". Just listened to the Brown Album and Stage Fright yesterday in memory of Robbie. I can still remember listening to Big Pink for the first time when it was initially released and thinking that I had never heard anything like it in my life. The Weig... | |
| Speakers sounding dull? MUST READ! The truth about speaker design! Very clever although I am disappointed there was no tweak du jour to solve the worlds home audio concerns. I will reflect back on this post the next time I have a battle of the bands in my garage. | |
| Speakers sounding dull? MUST READ! The truth about speaker design! I'm curious to hear the actual solution that was the initial intent of this discussion. From my standpoint I have an answer. Buy Vandersteen. Not dull or lifeless! | |
| What's up with lousy bass on classic rock recordings? There was a lot of variation on LP pressing in the 60's, 70's and early 80's. There was a bunch of different pressing plants just within the USA and there could be a number of reissues the same year as the original release and up to 10 years later... | |
| Spikes on tower speakers OP, are the spikes going completely through the carpet and making full contact with the floor? | |
| Another anti vibration solution -Primacoustics @jtcf Thanks for the information. What are you using to provide the space between the bottom of the speaker and the Primacoustics platoform to allow the port to breath? I see that some of the Zu speakers come with a platform under the speakers ... | |
| It was 61 years ago today... I was only 7 at the time but was aware of the buzz from my sister who was three years older. I don’t recall what I did that day but was banished to my bedroom for unacceptable behavior and missed the program. But for Christmas that year I asked fo... | |
| Sound quality of new vinyl recordings. OP, Don’t be discouraged by the negative comments in reference to "new vinyl" including my own. While in many cases I have preferred the original pressings from my youth I have also purchased many of the repressed and remastered LP’s that are ava... | |
| Sound quality of new vinyl recordings. I am a firm believer in the superiority of a good early pressing from the 60's, 70's and early 80's. I started a mission a few years ago to replace some of my favorite albums that had seen better days and can say that probably half or more of what... | |
| Experience with Townshend Seismic Podiums on Concrete Floor (they're great) @hilde45 @jtcf Thanks for the responses. I did see on their website that Townshend also offers Seismic Bars for bottom ported speakers as noted by surfcat. I will also research the Primacoustics platforms as noted. |
