You're perfectly right. I'm sorry I classed the Magoos with The Strawberry Alarm Clock-Lemon Pipers crowd. I guess my memory isn't whatever it used to be--I could've looked at the song list on the...

You're perfectly right. I'm sorry I classed the Magoos with The Strawberry Alarm Clock-Lemon Pipers crowd. I guess my memory isn't whatever it used to be--I could've looked at the song list on the...
Whoa--there's one of the first of the fad followers from The Day. I bought that thing when it first came out, and, after having listened (religiously) to the 13th Floor Elevators--probably the only...
That's one of my all-time favorites. I'd like to get levitation. Every few months, I drag that thing out and listen over and over for a few days. Who knew a jug could be made to sound like that? Back...
"I haven't heard that title, but I get what you're talking about. I experienced that a little bit with some of the selections on the Beatles CD remasters, Paul's bass on first listens, so pronounced,...
Anybody understand what I'm talking about ???
Yes indeed. It's relativity. It doesn't sound natural because the production is now out of sync with what we who listened to that music when it was...
Has anyone had any experience with these "Class D" amplifiers yet? I've read conflicting reports, particularly about the XTi1000, which has a very attractive price, and I gotta say, at only 11...
I loved that first album, but this new one is even better.
T Rex is a guilty pleasure. A glam rock group, yet what a sound, and Electric Warrior is, I think, a pop-art masterpiece. I often listen to it on my way to work or on my way home--not so much at home...
Yep, the first group from anywhere to call themselves "psychedelic" was from, of all places, Texas. I have the original pressings of all their albums. One can hear echoes of their performances in the...
It wasn't mentioned in the article at all, and the labeling on the drawing was impossible to make out, so I went with what I could see. It will certainly make construction simpler if it's not...
One difference I noticed right off is that a JBL version I have seen has a "throat," apparently a short conical horn, between the driver and the horn proper. Another version I've seen, and I don't...
I'm sorry I misspelled your name. Naturally, you don't use inches in Europe, but if you open these things in Photoshop, you can set the rulers to metric. The native resolution is 120 dpi and the...
I reached the limit of attachments in the above post, so here are the rest. (For some reason, theyre out of order, but since they're labeled, it probably doesn't matter).
As a long-time audio freak and music lover and sometimes DIY loudspeaker systems builder, I've long been intrigued by horns, up till now, mainly bass horns, But the seemingly rather simple...
You can't be one unless there's something to see, I'd think; therefore, there's only one way to find out. Actually, I remember that ad from Way Back When....
And so where it is?:applaud:
Thanks to both you and Stephane for the links and information. I've imported the jpeg file of the plans image into Photoshop and straightened it and am in the process of carefully tracing the...
I have the Smith Horn article that has been posted, and more than once, lately, but the scan quality does not support much enlargement and I'm having a lot of trouble trying to read the various tiny,...
One double-blind test after another has shown that NPE's cannot be reliably differentiated from other capacitor types by ear, regardless of how "golden" the ear believes itself to be. However, one...
My wife got me the full-tilt boxed set. I too was anticipating a "better" version of the earlier albums, but there's a disclaimer--the earlier stuff was primarily mixed for mono, the dominant medium...
Acquired "The Platinum Collection: 40 Great Tracks", imported from England. One disk is entitled "Flying Home," which showcases Hampton's work with big bands, the other is entitled "Hot Mallets"...
Loudspeakers are, on the one hand, the "most critical" element and it is generally conceded that getting "better" loudspeakers is the single most significant improvement one can make to an existing...
My wife surprised me with the deluxe set, bless her heart. These are songs I've heard probably thousands of times, but I'm hearing things I never heard before, in, most significantly, John's great...
Is this Denny's older brother from right here in Maine?
I'm sorry--I didn't mean to cause frustration--I thought the "Maybe a Stupid Reply" bit would be a clue that the reply was what they call in France or somewhere, "tongue in cheek," but I don't know...
