| Whats playing on your system today? Walk Through Walls by Brian Capps, the coolest album I have heard in a long, long time! Brian was in the Roots Rock band The Domino Kings, and after leaving that band formed The True Liars, the other members all coming from the legendary Springfie... | |
| Beach Boys Pet Sounds by Analogue Productions Oh yeah loomis, Pet Sounds is the album that really kicked Paul McCartney into high gear in regard to album making. The other Beach Boys were on the road touring, and returned home to find Brian had the album’s instrumental tracks completely done ... | |
| Electrostatic pros and cons. The RTR ESL tweeters used in the Fulton Model J discussed above by @richopp were the same tweeters ESS used in their TranStatic I and Infinity in their 2000A. Great tweeters, the 6-tweeter array-in-a-box Fulton used was marketed by RTR itself as t... | |
| Beach Boys Pet Sounds by Analogue Productions The Pet Sounds album wasn't recorded very well (sonically) to begin with. Veiled, weak bass, muted highs, etc. It doesn't matter which pressing you get, they all sound that way. Now, the Surfer Girl album, that's a different story! All the early "... | |
| Connecting a sub which way to go No audiophile runs the signal going to the main speakers and their power amp through the high-pass filter/crossover included in a sub. To remove the bass from the speakers and power amp (one of the main reasons for bi-amping, or adding a sub), you... | |
| Lyle Lovett & John Hiatt, on tour Ever since The Beatles appeared, Rock bands have been expected to be not just musicians and singers, but songwriters as well. The thing is, writing a song is a very different talent than performing one. Being a good musician and/or singer does not... | |
| 10' Power Cable for MC275 Signal Cable MagicPower, $149/10'. | |
| Altec A7 yay or nay? Do it! The missing 15" woofers are readily available, and were commonly the JBL D130 or equivalent. If the horns are missing the compression drivers that should be there, those too are available. You should buy the x/o from the seller, but the A-7... | |
| Who are some of elite sub woofers? Duke, I understand the subs in a swarm design all reproduce a combined left plus right (monaural) signal, even on material containing stereo bass (rare, but not unheard of). Is that correct? Is there any out-of-phase (left minus right), very low f... | |
| Get your First Watt SIT-3 now? The SIT-3 just got reviewed by Herb Reichert in the new Stereophile, so I’m sure they’re now all sold. Some of the First Watt designs get cloned, which Nelson Pass has no problem with, as long as it’s for personal use. If a schematic can be acquir... | |
| tube testing - SoCal @dweller, I’m not so sure Kevin wants to lend his tube tester to someone bringing in his own tube collection! He might charge by the hour?@steakster, I had Joe Knight at Brooks Berdan Ltd. measure my KT88’s and KT120’s just to see how they were (o... | |
| So disappointed in today's Americana The Americana Music Association puts on its' own awards ceremony and show every year; that's the one to watch. Their relationship to The Grammys is very much like High End Audio's is to CES. A good source for info on Americana music and artists is... | |
| Where to go in Portland... Entering Music Millennium in Portland Oregon is a trip; it feels like a time machine has taken you back to 1969 (the year it opened), patchouli oil and all. Some of the clerks look like they’ve been there since ’69 ;-) . MM is now selling turntabl... | |
| tube testing - SoCal Check with Joe Knight and/or Tom Carione at Brooks Berdan Ltd. in Monrovia, just east of Pasadena. BBL has a tube tester, and Joe is a rare/vintage tube collector/dealer. | |
| Who are some of elite sub woofers? There is one sub in a different class from all others, and that's not said pejoratively. The Eminent Technology TRW-17 Rotary Woofer is designed to be used from 30Hz down, a subwoofer for all other subwoofers. |
