| HumminGuru Orbit Vinyl Record Static Remover There ya go @harpo75! VSS offers the double sleeve in a variety of different configurations. I recommend getting one packet (25 sleeves)---or even just a single sleeve---of each model that looks interesting, to learn what works best for you... | |
| JD Souther has passed away All the remaining Laurel Canyon artists should get together and record a JD Souther tribute album, before they too leave us. Jackson Browne, how ’bout it?! I spent a lot of time in The Troubadour after moving to L.A. in 1979, and really wish I... | |
| Orchestrated Rock...Uriah Heep and others Before Neil Young had Jack Nitzsche add orchestration to his early solo albums, Jack had done the same for Neil's Buffalo Springfield song "Expecting To Fly". Jack had written the orchestrations for Phil Spector's recordings, those recordings a... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response I eagerly look forward to the dipole dynamic woofer system Magnepan has been working on for quite some time now. It is said to be the basis for a new Magnepan planar-magnetic model, and to be offered as an add-on for the already available Magne... | |
| HumminGuru Orbit Vinyl Record Static Remover @lalitk: Oh sure, the platter one uses with the Orbit need not be the one on which you play your LP’s. I’ve never seen the term "transit platter" before. What’s that mean? @lewm: My mention of using a static removal device directly after cl... | |
| New In 2024 On November 1st, Elvis Costello’s King Of America (his own personal favorite of his many albums) is being released on LP by Universal Music. "Remastered from the original master tapes", for what that’s worth. I already own both original UK (on ... | |
| HumminGuru Orbit Vinyl Record Static Remover I was an early adopter of the original Zerostat (I’ve had models with white, red, and blue plastic bodies), and suffered with it’s idiosyncracies for years (the pistol needs to be squeezed and released verrrrry slowly. Irritating!). It was ... | |
| What's Up With Jane's Addiction? Lightweights. On tour in the U.S.A. in ’65, Kinks drummer Mick Avory removed a cymbal from it’s stand and tossed it at Dave Davies. It barely missed his head, Dave almost being decapitated. Antics like this resulted in The Kinks being banne... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? @phusis: On the Rythmik Audio website designer Brian Ding provides exhaustive technical information on his subs. I believe details on the servo-feedback compensation for voice coil temperature variation and other functions may be found in the s... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? For those who want the OB/Dipole Sub from Rythmik Audio/GR Research but don’t have the tools, experience, and/or interest in building the required OB frame into which the woofers are installed, GR Research has a couple of woodworkers who will m... | |
| Best Covers You can barely hear it, but before Kasey Chambers starts playing "No Time To Cry" (written by Iris DeMent) she says "This is my favorite song." It’s in my Top 3. https://youtu.be/boG_aCz3YEk?si=ySeL3rVklTIuVu2x Merle Haggard also profus... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? The Rythmik servo-feedback system also compensates for the increase in voice coil temperature, which all woofers suffer from, regardless of their excursion capabilities. Rythmik offers sealed subs with a range of woofer diameters: 8", 12", 15"... | |
| External crossovers for subs One benefit of an external crossover is that the high pass filtering is done before the signal enters the power amp. Removing low frequencies from the signal sent to the power amp results in less amp distortion, and more power for the speakers.... | |
| Anyone else excited for this Borresen subwoofer?!!! The Rythmik Audio plate amps include a ’Delay/Phase" control, providing continuously-variable adjustment of from zero milliseconds delay / zero degrees phase rotation up to 16 milliseconds delay / 180 degrees phase rotation. Such a control make... | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album The recommendation by @sws237 of A Meeting By The River by Ry Cooder and V.M. Bhatt is very well deserved. The album was released on CD only by Water Lily Records in 1993---garnering the two artists Grammy Awards, and on LP in 2007. The Water L... |
