| R.I.P: Rest In Peace Roy Johnson, Green Mountain Audio's Genius Sorry to hear of this sad news! I knew he had been ill for some time but didn't know it was this serious.I'll never forget how he attempted to help me address the (then) severe room problems I had for 45 minutes despite the slim chances of making ... | |

| How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular? Not a horn guy, but I have heard some horn systems I liked (or was surprised at the quality). Never heard any of the newer fancy designs, however. I guess I'm part of the folks that consider them "shouty".Some people like the immediacy that is pre... | |
| Music lover or audiophile? Is this a Kill Bill Volume 2 question?Budd:So, which "R" you filled with?Elle Driver:What?Budd:They say the number one killer of old people is retirement. People got a job to do, they tend to live a little bit longer so they can do it. I've always... | |
| The Cartridge and Stylus makes a big difference. Wow! I have had a Benz Micro Gold and Wood SL on my VPI Scout 2 and both carts have been tiptop in regard to performance...It's been a great tracker and I also have never heard a performance by Benz classified as "cold."This leads me to assume it'... | |
| Aerial 7B amp recommendations The Aerial/McCormack combos was one of my favorite pairings in regard to sound.Unless your room is huge or absorbs sound or you listen at insane levels (or a combination of the above) you should have no problem.I’m currently using an Aragon 4004 m... | |
| Speed kills.... Never heard them, but you may want to try:http://www.eminent-tech.com/LFT8.htmlAlso, you may want to try other "planar" type such as Martin-Logan, Magneplanar, etc.This may be your cup of tea.Of course, YMMV.Good Luck! | |
| A song murdered by someone. I hate to say this, but what about "Dancing in the Street" by David Bowie and Mick Jagger (an MTV Award winning video, if I recall.)I believe Family Guy played the entire video on an episode as a joke. Oddly, I never heard it (or paid attention to... | |
| What were your humble beginnings on the path to high end audio? Ha! I started with dumpster diving into a Lafayette Audio junk bin and buying a $5 mono tube amp (that's right just ONE) and buying a run of the mill 12" woofer that I hooked up to a portable Sony TC-60 cassette player.Later I "upgraded" to adding... | |
| VPI Prime or Scout or ??? I upgraded from a VPI HW-19 Jr/Rega RB-300 arm (which was the last turntable I was going to own) to my Scout 2 (older model) the current last TT I would ever own (heh).ANY VPI (practically) will give you a simple, nice performing TT that will last... | |
| Best $40 I've spent...maybe ever Clean connections are happy connections. I try to clean mine every 6 months or so (ok, ok, I *try* to schedule it as such.) | |
| The Irrational But Efficacious CD Tweak Meanwhile 11 years later...The disk still works but nowadays (with a slightly different system config) I find that the "effect" is better after regular music is played a while (15 mins?), rather than "fresh" from the IBE disk.Still have not heard ... | |
| Best Speaker cable in the $400.00-$500.00 range for 2 meters Sigh. This is what I would do if seeking advice on speaker cable selection.1. Ignore everyone that doesn't have your amp.2. Use a lending program from a dealer or usedcable.com3. If necessary and if #1 doesn't work, try cables that work very we... | |
| Speaker spike feet? I have a pair of Aerial 7s (the model just prior to yours) and I used these since I managed to score an excellent deal on pricing (way back when):http://starsoundtechnologies.com/Differences were subtle but there. Mostly in cleaning up the midrang... |
