"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. | |
Experience with Townshend Seismic Podiums on Concrete Floor (they're great) Interesting post. I have Vandersteen Treo's that have a down firing port for the bass drivers. Currently have them mounted on IsoAcoustics ISO-Puck 76's on a wood over concrete floor. Any comments on how I would accommodate the Townshend Seismic... | |
Whats on your turntable tonight? Jeff Beck Group - The Orange Album 1972 Epic Records | |
Whats on your turntable tonight? ELO - Out Of The Blue 1977 UA/Jet Records early pressing Hadn't listened to this one in years. Great album for ELO fans and SQ on this pressing is super. Took me by surprise. . | |
When CDs first came onto the market in 1982 ....... There is a good article in Wikipedia. Just plug in Loudness War in their search field. It mainly occurred in the 1990’s and early 2000’s. It was not a good time for CD sound quality and I can usually pick up on it pretty easily when listening to ... | |
Whats on your turntable tonight? Happy New Year to all. Health and Happiness! Traffic - Shootout At The Fantasy Factory 1973/2021 Island Records RM Nice pressing. Very good SQ. |
