| The criteria for loudspeaker choices. @cbrunhaver: You raise some justified issues, and make some excellent points. The shallow crossover filters employed in the ET LFT-8 (1st-order) are also used by Magnepan in their planar-magnetic loudspeakers (PS Audio’s Paul McGowan’s refe... | |
| Are you familiar with this guitar virtuoso Danny Gatton is a virtuoso guitarist who isn't nearly as well known to the general public as he should be. Vince Gill nicknamed Danny "The Humbler." | |
| VPI Industries---Love the Company as Much as their Turntables If anyone is interested in an Aries with the TNT-5 platter I described above, Audio Element in Pasadena, California just listed one here on Audiogon. The shop is owned and operated by a great guy, Brian Berdan, Brooks' son. Brian worked in Bro... | |
| Speakers that disappear Here are some of the better planar-magnetics, as reviewed by Steve Guttenberg: https://youtu.be/KQh66jM7aLE?si=DOZY9T_YQK_Xs09c https://youtu.be/R4vC3V00-3Y?si=WG3jeG-w0JoIjt-0 https://youtu.be/Uc5O5T1UHkE?si=f6EKNO__s2ZVusje | |
| A nice tribute to my favorite living musician, the last man standing. Great to hear from youse guys! @mashif: I saw the original lineup of Band in 1969, at the Berkeley Community Theater, a great sounding room. Their second album had just been released, an album that changed my life. I really relate to the st... | |
| New In 2024 I'm green with envy @slaw! I've been jonesing to see Gillian and David for years, but they never make it to the Northwest. | |
| Building crossovers @arya: Danny at GR Research has several guys who build his speaker kits (including crossovers) for those lacking the tools, skills, and/or desire to do it themselves. I imagine having one of them build you just a crossover is possible, so conta... | |
| Analogue Productions New Doors LA Woman Vinyl Disc @viridian: "But there is only one original." Well, actually..... Since discovering Discogs, and reading the Hoffman Forums, the matter of pressing plants has "unfortunately" come to my attention. Even first pressings from different plants can ... | |
| Electrostatics and tubes Thanks for the clarification @clio09. I believe you have corrected me on that matter before . I attended the talk Roger gave at Brooks Berdan Ltd., in which he introduced the RM-10. At that time I had a two pair of QUADS, mounted in a frame... | |
| Are your records a health concern? Oh yeah @noromance, right you are. | |
| Scout's Honor No Internet Search R n' R Triva questions (4) @chazz101s: Jim Gordon is correct. As The 3rd drummer’s name may not be as familiar to many as the other two, I’ll divulge it now: Earl Palmer. Earl considered himself a Jazz musician, but didn’t turn down offers for Rock ’n’ Roll recording se... | |
| Are your records a health concern? I wonder if CD's are also made of PVC? | |
| Building crossovers Give Danny Richie at GR Research a call or email. He had had at least one Magnepan model sent to him for evaluation, and he posted a YouTube video in which he discusses and demonstrates what he discovered. As he regularly does with loudspeakers... | |
| New In 2024 In November, a new album (entitled Woodland) from Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. | |
| Electrostatics and tubes To add to Ralph’s (atmasphere) expert commentary, probably the most transparent music reproduction I have ever heard was a pair of QUAD ESL’s driven by a pair of his M-60 OTL amps. Roger Modjeski was also a huge fan of the QUADs, and used that... |
