Standing in an 8Hz 115dB Soundfield

Standing in an 8Hz 115dB Soundfield

Sep 19, 2006
I couldn't resist posting one more photo of Bruce Thigpen's fan-driven infrasonic subwoofer, this time showing the drive-unit in operation. Loaded with an infinite baffle—it is in the next room—it fires into a foam-lined sub-chamber, which low-pass filters the residual fan noise, leaving just the awesome infrasonics to pressurize the room next door. Because the fan is providing the main motive power, just 30W of audio signal was required to create an spl of 115dB at 8Hz!

Personally, I never heard of it. I was just browsing to see what was the current equivalent of the discontinued Klipsch Heresy II. BTW, that would be the Klipsch Heresy III.

Any opinions on that one as well?

When I was younger, I wanted to grow up to become a Major League baseball player. Baseball runs in my family. My grandfather played in the sugarcane fields, my father played in the street, my uncles played Little League. Each generation, it seemed, got better and closer. I had one uncle who made it all the way to a Major League farm club before injuring his knee.

"audiophile" multidisc changer?

Submitted by erick.s on

Most CD players these days aimed at the "audiophile" market are all single disc players. Can anyone recommend a good higher end multidisc player? I'm thinking I'd like a 5 CD carousel, but am open to other excellent sounding configurations. Currently, I'm planning on using a NAD C372 integrated for power and Mission 775 floorstanders for a simple system in my living room.

Shakti Stabilizer "no longer recommended"

Submitted by mar4511 on

I just procured one of these objects for the first time,having been aware of their existence for many years(~10?). I recall that it spent many of those years on the Recommend Components list, even earning the "star" (longevity) designation. Now in the Oct 2006 issue it has made it to the Deletions section as "no longer recommended". Usually I see a product as "not tried in a while" or such but "no longer recommended" intrigues me. Does anyone know what gives here?

CARY AUDIO CD/SACD PLAYER CD 306

A recent article by Robert Harley in TAS says good things about the new Cary unit.

I am currently using a Sony SCD-777ES for SACD and for regular CD I use it as a transport and a THETA Pro Basic 3 with balanced out is the D/A converter.

The sound is excellent for regular CD, but the sound on SACD, while good, simply does not impress me that much; I suspect there is more there than I am getting from the Sony.

Has anyone out there had a chance to audition the new CARY?
