Articles You Feel Should be Shared


I’ll kick off with a recent posting by the remarkably clear-sighted and even handed Archimago.

Once again cutting through layers of mostly deliberate confusion, obfuscation and denial.

Production, Reproduction and Perception - the 3 pillars upon which everything in our audiophile world stands, is my new mantra.

So simple it’s surprising that no one else pointed it out earlier.

Be sure to also check out his follow up blog from Wednesday, 11 March 2020.

djones,

Definitely belongs here. I can't think of anyone left in audio whose opinions matter more than Floyd Toole's.

It's funny but I had been recently thinking about giving this another listen. Sometimes I like to fall asleep to this kind of stuff, or if I'm waiting in the car. The watch later button is so valuable.

So much good stuff on YouTube - so little time. Absolutely essential to spotlight the good stuff.

Thanks again.
A Tannoy 15’’ Enclosure for the Enthusiast – by Volker Heinz

Volker is a real enthusiast of vintage Tannoys. His adventures and findings are well documented on his wonderfully candid blog. In particular you will find the details of the various challenges and disappointments our hero encounters along the way to eventual success.

There’s also plenty of interesting opinion concerning the rights and wrongs of audio.

I would consider this necessary, maybe even essential reading for anyone contemplating rebuilding a cabinet for Tannoy 15 DCs - and even possibly any other vintage design.

You could read the whole saga from here. Part 1 starts from Thursday, 29 August 2013.

or jump to his first listening session (The Realisation) upon completion dated Wednesday, 29 January 2014.

Good stuff.

Here’s two video presentations from the redoubtable Ethan Winer.

I’ve spent years trying to ignore or refute Ethan’s ’pissing on my fireworks’ attitude.

In the end I had to admit that I couldn’t. I now feel that I owe Mr Winer an apology.

I’m pretty sure you meant the doubtable Ethan Winer. 🙄 Innocent question: is someone holding up cue cards for him on those videos?
