| MoFi lawsuit Oops, baldface lying. I figured I would correct myself before someone else does. 😉 | |
| Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set? For those who can do rudimentary woodworking (just a simple box), the Rythmik Subs are available as DIY kits. For those who can't, a local cabinet maker can do it for you pretty cheaply. The 15" Rythmik sub comes in a China-sourced 3cu.ft. enc... | |
| Five feet from the front wall @mijostyn: Just for the record, I much prefer an "over"-damped room to an "under"-damped one. My current one is on the over-damped side, and I have found diffusion to keep all the output of my dipoles audible, whereas I believe damping (please, no... | |
| MoFi lawsuit I hate to see the generalization made that smaarch1 did just above. His statement is false. There are quite a few companies that have been 100% honest and forthcoming in disclosing the source they used for their LP reissues: Analogue Productio... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 I speaker sock ??? In contrast, Bruce Thigpen---maker of the great alternative to Maggies with his Eminent Technology LFT-8b and 8c loudspeakers---answers the phone himself. He will even advise you on how to upgrade his stock x/o with higher-cost (and presumably sou... | |
| Five feet from the front wall @marco1: Reminds me of my stoner days, laying on the floor with the left and right speakers on either side of my head, like giant earphones. | |
| Best Full-Function Preamplifier @patrickdowns: Watch USAM for a set of used Townshend Audio Seismic Podiums or Bars, they come up for sale pretty regularly. For a cheaper alternative, if your speakers have narrow enclosures with a base that extends out in all directions (front-... | |
| Interesting videos about sounds and music Kenny Vaughan speaking with Otis Gibbs again, this time about Frank Zappa: https://youtu.be/XWKl3qdFDqs?si=d7Y5yS1lB2pvFUny | |
| What is your most fond musical memory. wolf_garcia: Moby Grape, one band I really regret not having seen live. And I still have yet to see Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives. | |
| What is your most fond musical memory. @simonmoon: The Roxy is probably my favorite venue. I saw a LOT of great shows there, including those of NRBQ, John Hiatt, Rodney Crowell, Victoria Williams, and Lone Justice. Another is The Troubadour, where I saw Lucinda Williams, Iris DeMent, ... | |
| Five feet from the front wall @invalid: I believe you meant to direct your last post to @mijostyn, not me. I somehow never managed to hear any Apogees, perhaps because there weren't many dealers on the West Coast. My dipole planar exposure is limited to Quad, Infinity, Day... | |
| Five feet from the front wall Regarding the wall behind dipole planars: One of the hardcore Maggie owners on the Planar Speaker Asylum completely damps the wall behind his very-modified Tympani T-IVa’s (he also braces the panels to the walls), other owners prefer diffusers. B... | |
| What is your most fond musical memory. @1111art: I like Stoned Ponies better. 😊 | |
| Cast into Utter Darkness This is why I stopped listening to the radio (except for college stations) in 1968. | |
| Five feet from the front wall To call the wall behind the loudspeakers the rear wall makes no sense. Sure, that wall is behind the speakers, but so what? The wall the listener is facing is the front wall, the one behind the listened the rear wall. Period. |
