Andrew Lipinski Solves Show Room Acoustics Problem

Andrew Lipinski Solves Show Room Acoustics Problem

Jan 09, 2006

Andrew and Lukas Lipinski, manufacturers of the L-707 monitor I <A HREF="http://stereophile.com/standloudspeakers/1205lipinski/">reviewed in December</A>, were fed up with poor room acoustics and slow foot traffic at trade shows. So they eliminated the room! Ray Kimber urged them to take the empty spot in the Alexis Park lunchroom for their demo setup. Andrew set up one of the few multi-channel demo systems at the Show using six L-707s, including the one for rear height information seen in the photo. Despite the din of the lunch crowd, all I had to do was sit in the nearfield, and I was bathed in sound from Andrew's multi-channel recordings, such as his new <I>Republique</I> SACD. For the photo, however, they kicked back with Telarc's recording of Ladysmith Black Mambazo singing "Diamonds in the Soles of Her Shoes." It definitely rocked the lunchroom!

To whom this may concern:
Recently, over the last few issues, I have received my (subscribed) copy of Stereophile ten to fourteen days after, I have seen the same issue at magazine and equipment dealers. WHY?. Is it possible that the heart of a magazine's readership-- the subscriber obtain the best service? or at least comparable to that of purchasing off the rack?

I can't belive that I am getting sucked into the world of cable. I recently purchased a new set of speakers (paradigm studio 40's). I hooked them up to my system with the Monster cables I bought in the mid eighties, at a dollar a foot. Sounded great, but I thought why not spend a few bucks and get some new Z1 cables. The sales lit made it sound like the technology had improved a lot and it was only two fifty a foot.

I was amazed that the new cables sounded tinny, almost brittle. I was also mazed buy the decrease in the amount of copper in the cable from old to the new.

This is Vegas, so you'll understand that when I say that Jon Iverson and I were simply rolling the dice when we entered Audiona's room at T.H.E. Show, I mean that in a <I>good</I> way. "Want to hear some actively crossovered, four-way loudspeakers?" Brian Quick asked us. Well, yeah, that's what we do.

Viola Gets Small—and Big

Viola Gets Small—and Big

Jan 09, 2006

Small seems to be the next big thing&mdash;the new black, maybe. Viola Audio Labs introduced its 9" W by 4.3" H by 16" D 75W Forte monoblocks ($10,000/pair). Like its big brothers, the Forte has a minimum of internal wiring, which along with its compact dimensions, keeps signal paths short. It has a 1M ohm input impedance, making it easy to drive, and this is said also to improve HF performance and transient response, according to designer Tom Colangelo's colleague Paul Jayson. It uses minimal negative feedback and a choke input filter power supply.

Technical Audio Devices, better known as TAD, was showing a speaker that looked disturbingly familiar. It was the same size and seemed to feature the same drivers as TAD's Model-1, but it lacked that speaker's silver hood and upper front baffle. That's because Andrew Jones had come to Vegas with TAD's Model-2, which he said would come in between $35,000 and $40,000/pair.
