| Is Spiking Necesarry? I misspelled "is" in my criticism of misspellings. Also, I have Vibrapods on things, although my 2 subs don't…they're on the floor making bass sounds so I allow them a pass to bend the floor with aplomb (!). Clearly I should not be let out of the ... | |
| Mellow speakers for a digital piano Note that you can "mellow" sound with EQ…on a mixer…generally any mixer. | |
| Deoxit for cables How can cleaning contacts which, for me anyway, allows signal to get through, dull that signal? Do people actually think signal is transformed by simply allowing it to be signal? Is it more "signally?" | |
| Deoxit for cables Deoxit 100…lasts forever, use it for my guitar pedalboard (has a lot of important phone plug connections), any weird pot, clean hifi connections…and it does one dose shots to keep you from flooding things. I clean bare wire before putting it in pr... | |
| Deoxit for cables Deoxit works great…good for sticky pots also. | |
| TT mats I use a graphite felt mat with a Mitchell clamp on my Linn aluminum platter…works fine, sounds great. | |
| Mellow speakers for a digital piano Get a pair of 2 way powered P.A. speakers and a small pro audio sub. I use a pair of Mackie C200 10" wide dispersion speakers on stands in my studio rig (non powered, driving them with an old Alesis amp as it’s quiet…no fans), with a small Mackie ... | |
| Is Spiking Necesarry? Put your hand on the floor (suspended, not slab) next to spiked speakers paying dynamic music with plenty of bass content and you can feel the vibration on the floor…do the same with Vibrapods (or other things that turn vibes into heat…like my cou... | |
| Quincy Jones Interview I was at a party in the early 70s after working on a Delaney and Bonnie show in Honolulu. Delaney wound up sitting next to me and we talked for a long time about stuff…amazing guy…he said he thought Ringo was the best rock and roll drummer in musi... | |
| Which Budget Speakers, Tekton or Omega? Heresy IIIs will fool you into thinking they’re not fat boxes with horns sitting on the floor if the rest of your rig is well sorted. | |
| Is Spiking Necesarry? I stopped using speaker spikes years ago when I found that simple and inexpensive Vibrapods (I've had suspended wood floors in listening rooms for many decades) keep the energy from the speaker from going into the floor and coming back into the sp... | |
| Schiit offering LISST "tubes" for SAGA & FREYA pre-amps A large part of why I like tubes is that they're tubes…linear, they glow, and I can swap 'em out. I agree that the newish Tung Sol 6SN7s aren't spectacular sounding, but I tried them anyway and they do work fine and very quietly (they seem modeled... | |
| Klipsch Speakers, Where Should I Look For The Best PRices The Heresy IIIs I recently bought were from an Ebay seller who advertised them as new with factory warranty although "open box." I actually called the guy (Nevada somewhere) and he said they were unopened but dinged boxes…free shipping so I figure... | |
| Schiit offering LISST "tubes" for SAGA & FREYA pre-amps I had 2 matched new Tung Sol 6SN7GTBs already when I received the Freya, so I ordered 2 more and stuck ’em all in. There is amazingly low noise from the tube stage in the Freya in my rig (surprising since I read most of the 10,418 comments in "hea... | |
| Schiit Vidar Monos or Adcom GFA-565se or Rotel RB-1582 MKII Initially Schiit wasn't recommending the "lisst" non-tubes for the Freya but now they seem to have changed that as the Freya is now mentioned in the Lisst description (I might have completely got that wrong anyway). Let me (or us) know how those ... |
