| Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI So before I subjected my LP collection to a new device such as this, I'd really like to see some electron microscopy on a new LP, and after various numbers of cleaning cycles with the Vortex to determine if the landings or top edge of the groove w... | |
| AC adapter for Infinity RS2B equalizer It says 13-14 Volts AC because that is exactly what the unit requires. There is no mis numbering on it. DO NOT PUT 130-140 VOLTS AC INTO THIS EQUALIZER!! You will seriously damage it if you do so. You can use a 12 V AC supply to power your EQ. The... | |
| Name three of yours the most favourite drummers I wouldn't think of calling Buddy a great musician, let alone the "best" drummer. While he was a great technician, he wouldn't play any arrangement that didn't feature him as a "soloist", even when he didn't have a drum solo in the song. Drummers ... | |
| WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor George, His wife brings in the bacon so he can stay at home, raise the kids (something he absolutely adores doing) and practice his drumming. While what his wife did to him was rather cold hearted, I don't think he really wants to change his domes... | |
| Name three of yours the most favourite drummers How about Hal Blaine? He's played on gazillions of top selling hit songs. I'd be willing to wager there's at least one recording in everybody's collection that features his excellent and tasteful playing. He's the master at playing exactly what th... | |
| hifi audio in movies Infinity RS-1b's in the Bobcat Goldwaith movie "Hot To Trot". JBL 4311's in the background of the basement scenes in Fox's "That 70's Show". And let's not forget the tape recorder in the background of the old Dean Martin Show. | |
| Upgrade or sell Infinity RSIIb speakers The best way to improve the bass in these wonderful speakers is to replace the sheet metal screws holding the woofers in place with #10-32 machine screws threaded into "tee" nuts. This only takes an hour to do. Then completely bypass the low pas... | |
| What to drive my RS 2b's Infinity For years I drove my RS-2B;s with a Bryston 4B on the woofers and a conrad-johnson MV-52 on the mids and tweets, with an ITI parametric EQ replacing the Infinity unit. I have been collecting some gear so I can do some serious mods to these speaker... | |
| Walker Audio Extreme SST Morris: I have no experience with Lloyd Walker's SST, but I have often used Cramolin for the electrical power connections in recording studio installations with excellent results. I also use it for connecting wires to ground stakes. I put some Cr... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood Infinity RS-1B's in the Bobcat Goldwaith movie "Hot To Trot". | |
| WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor I have a musician friend who is an electronic drummer. His wife hates having the gear in the house and she resents the investment he has made in it. One day, while he was practicing, she came in, pointed directly at a piece of gear he had recentl... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood I'm surprised that nobody in this thread mentioned the tape recorder prominently displayed in the background of the old "Dean Martin Show" or the JBL 4311 speaker in the background of the basement scenes on "That '70's Show". | |
| Sound Dynamics 300Ti - Stand Height. Hi Aaron. Your old Sota Star gets almost daily use here! I have used my Sound Dynamic 300ti speakers on Sanus 20" metal stands with excellent results. I have tried lower stands, but I don't think the soundstaging was as good. Be sure to keep the s... | |
| McIntosh - is it that great? I have listened to Mac gear for almost all of my 54 years on the planet and I couldn't imagine life without a piece of McIntosh gear somewhere in the house. When asked about my idea of a "dream system" I reply that I really want four: A big Genesi... | |
| Best Genesis Album - your opinions please. My votes: 1) SEBTP 2) Foxtrot 3) LLDOB 4) ATOTT 5) W&W The worst Genesis album? Without a doubt it has to be "We Know What We Like - The Music Of Genesis" by the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by David Palmer. RCA Red Seal Digital 6242-1... |
