| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. @john65b: Eminent Technology made both a model LFT-4 (also sometimes referred to as LFT-IV) and a model LFT-6 (or -VI). The LFT-4 stands 56" tall, the LFT-6 78", and both are 18" wide. Which do you have? Less than 1,000 pair of each were made. | |
| Buddy Miller on "vinyl" (LP) @doni: My pre-order of the standard version (black PVC) of In The Throes arrived a few days ago, and yesterday I went to Music Millennium to get a copy of the Indi Exclusive version (seaglass blue PVC, autographed cover). I forgot to get a CD copy... | |
| Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set? @gladmo: NoRez is a great product. Since I built sealed enclosures for the Rythmik 15" kit, I braced the Hell out of them: 1.5" x 1.5" Baltic Birch ply braces (doubled pieces of 0.75" x 1.5") every 6" inches, in all three planes: front-to-back, le... | |
| unclassifiable, original music, and impossible to define in simple terms... Van Dyke Parks comes to mind. He doesn't have a website, but his Wikipedia write-up will give you his outline. | |
| They know we will pay anything they can think of The essay by Steven Stone is a good one, but awfully ironic; he has long written reviews for The Absolute Sound, which mainly features coverage of very expensive hi-fi gear. Has Stone been over to Fremer's house? 😉 | |
| MoFi lawsuit Oops, baldface lying. I figured I would correct myself before someone else does. 😉 | |
| Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set? For those who can do rudimentary woodworking (just a simple box), the Rythmik Subs are available as DIY kits. For those who can't, a local cabinet maker can do it for you pretty cheaply. The 15" Rythmik sub comes in a China-sourced 3cu.ft. enc... | |
| Five feet from the front wall @mijostyn: Just for the record, I much prefer an "over"-damped room to an "under"-damped one. My current one is on the over-damped side, and I have found diffusion to keep all the output of my dipoles audible, whereas I believe damping (please, no... | |
| MoFi lawsuit I hate to see the generalization made that smaarch1 did just above. His statement is false. There are quite a few companies that have been 100% honest and forthcoming in disclosing the source they used for their LP reissues: Analogue Productio... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 I speaker sock ??? In contrast, Bruce Thigpen---maker of the great alternative to Maggies with his Eminent Technology LFT-8b and 8c loudspeakers---answers the phone himself. He will even advise you on how to upgrade his stock x/o with higher-cost (and presumably sou... | |
| Five feet from the front wall @marco1: Reminds me of my stoner days, laying on the floor with the left and right speakers on either side of my head, like giant earphones. | |
| Best Full-Function Preamplifier @patrickdowns: Watch USAM for a set of used Townshend Audio Seismic Podiums or Bars, they come up for sale pretty regularly. For a cheaper alternative, if your speakers have narrow enclosures with a base that extends out in all directions (front-... | |
| Interesting videos about sounds and music Kenny Vaughan speaking with Otis Gibbs again, this time about Frank Zappa: https://youtu.be/XWKl3qdFDqs?si=d7Y5yS1lB2pvFUny | |
| What is your most fond musical memory. wolf_garcia: Moby Grape, one band I really regret not having seen live. And I still have yet to see Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives. | |
| What is your most fond musical memory. @simonmoon: The Roxy is probably my favorite venue. I saw a LOT of great shows there, including those of NRBQ, John Hiatt, Rodney Crowell, Victoria Williams, and Lone Justice. Another is The Troubadour, where I saw Lucinda Williams, Iris DeMent, ... |
