    Planar-magnetic vs Isodynamic vs Orthodynamic — ending the century-old terminology debate

    All three of these terms have been used simultaneously for the past several decades. It's been a true nightmare, because they do not have the same meaning and don't relate to the same concept. I am calling all Head-Fiers to help me out to define each one of these. Orthodynamic is a term that...
