Dup's redemption

Submitted by bifcake on

In the "King of Tubes" article, the EAR founder talks about his strive for excellence and his history of development. In the middle of the article, there was an interesting blurb:


Quote:

I commented to Tim that, although hi-fi can be a bullshit business, you can't bullshit pro audio customers.

"No. It's a tool to them, it's not a frivolity. And they're not going to suffer fools gladly. Home hi-fi, well, you can go back even 50 years and there's a lot of product that was cheesy, and came and went.

In this month's "Letters," Donald Bisbee raises the subject of the government's proposed reduction in funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), I agree with Mr. Bisbee that commercial radio broadcasting in the US is an intellectual desert. Music is narrowcast, with listeners' tastes bound into predigested categories. There is no depth or analysis to radio news programs, other than discussions by populist commentators who, no matter what you may think of their politics, usurp the ability of their audiences to think for themselves. As a regular listener to NPR and watcher of PBS, I feel that public broadcasting is an essential factor in American public discourse (footnote 1), but not for the reasons some might think.

Clover Stroud's new 36DD's take her for a spin. Not surprisingly, she busted guys ogling her chest, but she also got the cold, um, shoulder from women—at least, that was Clover's take on the subject.

Third speaker in your stereo

The Entry Level
Submitted by BillB on

I use a third speaker, in the rear, in my 2 channel set-up. I learned about it from one of Brian Eno's early albums. It's wired across the two "hot" terminals of the left and right amp outputs, so it extracts the "difference" signal from the stereo channels. Just one passive speaker; no extra amplification needed. It adds a little more depth and dimensionality to the overall sound. You can put a potentiometer in there to adjust level, but in my setup I don't, I just "set" the relative level by the distance and orientation of the speaker from the front speakers.
