Flamingos at the Fabulous Flamingo

Jan 10, 2011
T.H.E. Show was held at the famous Flamingo Hotel and Casino, the oldest resort on The Vegas Strip, opened by Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel on the day after Christmas in 1946. On the site’s 15 acres, you can find lots of glitter, gold, and rich history, in addition to a wildlife habitat with an exhibit of flamingos!

Entry Level Studio Monitors

Submitted by gumpert on

HI all,
I'm looking forward to buy a pair of entry-level studio monitors.
I'm interseted in the JBL LSR2325P (http://www.jblpro.com/catalog/General/Product.aspx?PId=280&MId=5)
and in the Genelec 6010A (http://www.genelec.com/6010a/specs/)

I can get both pair at the same price. I have a small room that is very bassy. I listend both and I enjoyed the power of the JBL as well as their flatness. I believe the genelec don't have enough bass.

I simply would like to have a second opinion.

Thanks

Liberals love plays and movie scripts about assassination

Submitted by Lamont Sanford on

They call it arts. Liberal arts. I majored in liberal arts. I don't celebrate plays and movies about imaginary assassinations of people liberals don't agree with any more than I do this cock sucking freak that shot the congress woman in the fucking face, shot down a child, and a few others including a sitting federal judge. You guys wanted to see something like this happen to real human beings well you got it. Satisfied? Feel like it is art? How about reform? How about repeal. Listening now?

Furutech rips vinyl and plays files with the GT40

Furutech rips vinyl and plays files with the GT40

Jan 09, 2011
I’m sure I’ve never said to myself, “I want a combination USB DAC/phono stage/headphone amp,” but as soon as I saw one I sure did. Furutech’s Alpha Design Labs GT40, see in preproduction form at the 2010 CES, will rip your vinyl or play your computer files at up to 24bit/96kHz with USB convenience, and includes a headphone amp with volume control making for a dandy little LP transcription system.

Introduced a couple months back, the Moon 100 D DAC includes coax and optical SPDIF as well as USB inputs. It also features an asynchronous sample rate converter and operates at 24bit/192 via SPDIF and 16/48 via USB.

All this for $699. "It's a killer" says Simaudio's Lionel Goodfield.

The Epic 1 ($599/pair) is the smallest model of Epos’ new Epic series. A simple, handsome appearance is enhanced by a fine vinyl veneer (available in cherry and black ash), and the front baffle can be altered as the owner sees fit&#151listen to the speaker with its stock “audiophile” baffle, which is said to provide reflection-free properties and forgoes any fixing screws, grille holes or cloth, or remove the stock baffle to reveal the underlying veneer; a cloth-covered grille is also included.

The Epic 1 uses a 1” soft-dome tweeter&#151the first soft-dome tweeter employed by Epos&#151and a port-loaded, 5.25” polypropylene mid-woofer. It has a rated sensitivity of 88dB with a 4 ohm nominal impedance.

Epos’ Epic 2 ($799/pair) uses the same 1” soft-dome tweeter found in the smaller Epic 1, but with a larger cabinet and 6.5” mid-woofer, the Epic 2 is designed to offer greater sensitivity (90dB), bass output, and power handling. Like the Epic 1, the Epic 2 is available in cherry and black ash vinyl veneers and provides a removable baffle cover.

Music Hall Cruise Control 2.0

With Music Hall’s new Cruise Control 2.0 ($299), owners of Music Hall and Pro-Ject turntables no longer need to lift their platters and move their drive belts to switch between 33.3 and 45RPM. The Cruise Control 2.0 makes speed selection possible at the push of a button. In addition, with the appropriate pulley and cartridge, the Cruise Control 2.0 will also adjust for 78RPM records. Fun.

Music Hall USB-1: Too Much Fun

Music Hall USB-1: Too Much Fun

Jan 09, 2011
Music Hall’s USB-1 2-speed, belt-drive turntable has a built-in phono preamp, comes with Audacity software for digitizing vinyl and supplies all necessary cables, uses an S-shaped tonearm with a detachable headshell, and includes an Audio-Technica AT3600L moving-magnet cartridge. With its gloss-black finish and DJ-style platter, it also looks extremely cool. All this, and it costs just $249. A teenager working weekends at Dunkin’ Donuts can afford the Music Hall USB-1. I love this crazy thing and will write more about it in a future issue of Stereophile. Music Hall’s Leland Leard has been crossing the country, getting the USB-1 into his favorite record shops. Good for Music Hall, good for hi-fi, and good for music lovers.

AcousticPlan DriveMaster Transport and DacMaster DAC

AcousticPlan DriveMaster Transport and DacMaster DAC

Jan 08, 2011
Tone Imports' Jonathan Halpern was on hand to demonstrate the new AcousticPlan DriveMaster transport and DacMaster DAC which retail for $4,200 each and were designed and built by Claus Jaeckle. There is also an optional power supply upgrade for $2,000 that will run two units.

These are small but superbly crafted units, and obviously use a novel approach to spinning a disc. The DAC features SPDIF BNC, I2S, and USB inputs.
