| What is a Passive Radiator in a Speaker Thiel has used this design, as has/does Klipsch. No doubt others. I've always thought of it as a kind of half-way compromise between sealed box and ported/vented. Achieving in theory a sort of half-way mix of the advantages and disadvantages of... | |
| US source of Panzerholtz? https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/albert-porters-after-market-panzerholz-plinths From 2010. What is old is new again. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados On to Rach #2, Previn. The Telarc soundstage took a little getting used to: very wide, quite distant, but not very deep. Have to admit I’m enjoying #2 more than #1--the highlight there was actually Litton’s Isle of the Dead. | |
| JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing @woodsage For starters, try listening to collected works of Wolfgang Amadeus for 24 hours straight. | |
| Each recording has one right volume level. Sounds like an argument in favor of a return to graphic equalizers.Either that, or a whole new and radical approach to microphone design. | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados The recent outpouring of enthusiasm for Rachmaninov inspired me to embark on a run-through of his work. Listening now to symphony no. with Litton, which sounds good to me and seems to get good reviews. Besides Ashkenazy, do you like anyone else?... | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 Not what I would consider great news:"At launch, the 5000 series will only be available in the United States via six exclusive Yamaha “experience centers,” located throughout the country. These include Abt Electronics and Music Direct in Chicago, ... | |
| Cary Audio SLI-80HS vs Primaluna Dialogue HP or Evo Integrated Amps Didn't Herb just review the Cary for Stereophile? Search out the review--I seem to remember it includes some comparisons. | |
| Creek CD50 The CD50 is a very solid performer. If this fits your needs I would snap it up. | |
| Beware: New (at least to me) scam being run on Audiogon members +1 @elizabeth Q: When is a coincidence not a coincidence?A: When it's too good to be true.These skeptics wouldn't be so skeptical if they had lost, or even nearly lost, $$. | |
| Bright High End Speakers = Bad Room? It all come down to enjoyment. Even if you sit there thinking to yourself, Wow, these speakers are really accurate, how wonderful!, if you cringe and shudder even time the massed violins come in forte, then there's not much point to it, is there?... | |
| April 2017 review of the Paradigm Persona 9H A home run for Paradigm!

Biggest single hi-fi mistake I've ever made (and I've made several). The 3.6's drove me ... |
