| The Eagles Greatest Hits - Question MOFI did "Hotel California" on vinyl. The way it was explained to me, (or the way I understood it), it has nothing to do with the format, (i.e. CD, SACD, 33 1/3RPM or 45RPM).Each "master" has to be "leased", (maybe not the right term), but the la... | |
| BIC Venturi fans? Way back in the day, I was a BIC dealer. Sold the V52, V62, the V620 and V820.I thought they were pretty damn good for the money. They weren't very expensive. I still have a pair of V62's somewhere. I need to find them and give them a listen.T... | |
| Weird problem noticed today... I never heard, in 50 yrs being a budget audiophile of a out-of-phase speaker having a bass slap. Correct. Usually an out-of-phase speaker will have less bass, not more. | |
| Fav Tube/Best tube goofy thread No. This Thread's Totally Tubular :-) | |
| Weird problem noticed today... Also weird is you said that it doesn't do it with CD, right? Do you have any other source to try? I'm sure the Node2i and the CD don't have the exact same output voltage, but they should be close.If you have a sound pressure meter, maybe measure... | |
| Weird problem noticed today... When you asked "if the ribbon "slapping" is fatal"? I assumed you had a separate ribbon tweeter, (like a 3.6/3.7/20.7) which would be weird if that was slapping.The 1.7i is a quasi ribbon panel, not a full separate driver, so no, Maggies will sla... | |

| Weird problem noticed today... What model of Magnepans do you have?You might want to do a reboot/reset on the Node2i, just to make sure it didn't get "stuck" when updated. I just updated mine and didn't notice any anomalies. | |
| Weird problem noticed today... I was a Magnepan dealer for many years. Without really seeing/hearing the problem, my best guess is that you’re simply over-driving the panel.This is known as "panel slap". Especially in the bass region. The panel can only move so far. If it’s ove... | |
| Weird problem noticed today... Magnepans don't have stators. Stators are part of an electrostatic speaker. Maggies are planar magnetic. | |
| ways to store your records I had about fifteen modular cubes made of mdf built and then white lacquered made to my specifications and needs; in each cube there are about 100 vinyls. Sorry, I apologize up front. The plural of Vinyl is Vinyl. Don't know why that bothers ... | |
| Cassettes still rock! I still have some of the Teac (3) bottle kits. Head cleaner, rubber conditioner and Stainless Steel Polish.I have tried this and found it works very well on both the heads/capstans and pinch rollers. Even the instructions say it’s safe: https://ww... | |
| Cassettes still rock! @uberwaltz...I prefer the 46 minutes tapes also. I have probably more of them than anything else. However, I have noticed that the newer albums tend to be longer.Back in the day, most albums fit on a 46 minute tape no problem. I just recorded a co... | |
| Cassettes still rock! @uberwaltz Sweet! I think you’ll really like them.Was that lot the 46 minutes tapes? I bid on those, but it got to be a little too much money for me. | |
| Steely Dan Thanks for the link. Steely Dan is my favorite group...ever! I've seen them in concert well over a dozen times. Have a ton of their material in all different formats, posters and memorabilia galore.R.I.P. Walter |
