| Altec A7 What to do Neil Young recently said he uses A7s with McIntosh amps...also, if you use A7s you likely don't have room for a wife. | |
| What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock? "Ralph of Atmasphere" sounds medieval. | |
| ARC Galileo GSPre vs ARC Reference 5 SE ? .... As my careful survey of KT120s and KT150s has shown, no amp in the history of the universe (many billions of years) has been damaged by these tubes, assuming an amp was originally designed for similar but lower heater current draw. Many respectabl... | |
| ARC Galileo GSPre vs ARC Reference 5 SE ? .... Here ya go: I read an article last night reviewing the GS150/GSpre in the Jan Hi-fi News & Record Review...the reviewer liked pretty much everything except the response of the meters on the GS150, and thought it was better than the REF150 he h... | |
| Sub woofer power cable? I stuck a large power cable on my REL sub along with PS Audio Power Port plugs for it and the main system (the sub needs its own plug since it's not near the other gear). Not sure the sound of anything got better, but it made me feel better about ... | |
| What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock? I've ranted about this a few times...Atmosphere is 100% correct...noting a preferred music type for speaker or system selection is silly, unless some loudness level is required for frequent drunk dancing. Mahler or Medeski Martin and Wood are as, ... | |
| Altec A7 What to do My band opened for Loggins and Messina in Honolulu in 1974 and they forgot to bring over their "side fill" monitors...so they borrowed our A7s (otherwise they used the huge Clair Bros. boxes). The first band to bring a serious PA on the road (to H... | |
| Altec A7 What to do I had a pair of A7s for years (in the 70s) and they sounded great and not so shrill really...we bi-amped them with crossovers in front of the amps, and they had this "wooden" sound that was really pleasing. Later we stuck heavy duty JBL bass guita... | |
| Amp frequency requirements for super tweeters? In other words, regardless of your hearing's upper limits, the high frequencies in live music have a very real effect on what is going on at the lower, more "audible" frequencies, and this goes a long way in explaining why 20KHZ shelving on "red b... | |
| Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear I rest my case, with thanks to Simao! | |
| JOLIDA Issue My 502 has been cookin' along with new Gold Lion 12AX7s and KT150s for a couple of weeks now and I'm astonished at how good it sounds now that things have settled in even more...I've recently listened to some far more expensive stuff including an ... | |
| Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear I have never, except when joking around, disputed the potential sound quality or value of these speakers, but the inability of others to understand what I AM bugging about sort of makes my case in general. I know about plywood (and Dixie cups) as ... | |
| Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear I refuse to respond to such harassing, belittling, and disrespectful language. Or maybe I don't, in any case...what's wrong with dixie cups? Don't you realize the TREMENDOUS skill involved in making dixie cups? Are plywood assemblers really "premi... | |
| Setting up an audio system Break into neighbors homes and give their systems a listen, as this is less annoying to intrepid audio salesmen. | |
| Tuning Rel G1 I use a test CD for tone generation to see where my main speakers start to seriously drop off at the low end, and adjust my REL to pick up the "Bass Ball" at what seems to be the point where it meshes with the mains. "Mains Meshing" is the proper ... |
