Jeff, if she's blasting music at 5:00 AM, in most communities, that considered to be "disturbing the peace", if the sound is loud OUTSIDE the building. Most apartment leases have a clause prohibiting loud noises or music in the "wee hours". Driving her car at you may constitute "assault with a deadly weapon", which is a FELONY charge. Finally, since you live above her, get the urge to exercise at 1 or 2 am...preferably skipping rope, or "jumping jacks". Barbells and dumbbells can also "slip" and hit the floor...she'll get the message, whichever avenue you decide to pursue!
Crazy Downstairs Neighbor
Hi,
My downstairs neighbor is a lunatic with keen ears for sympathetic floor vibrations. So, I use sonus faber guarneri homage speakers - lovely sound, but not a lot of bass energy. I just bought an Immedia rpm table and arm along with the basic Ear phono stage (modded). My vinyl guru set up the table with a benz glider until I got my Lyra Helikon. Everything about the Lyra is better, except the bass volume and energy, which is proportionately less when compared to the benz glider. (I don't mean extension, which is better with the Helikon). With the benz glider, I discovered that the guarneri's are capable of more bass volume proportionate to the mids and highs than I have found with my Wadia. More bass energy, but not so much as to excite the monster downstairs. So (finally), here is my question. Is there a cartridge that will give me more bass energy than the helikon plus the good stuff the Helikon does well.
Another way to put it: What is a cartridge with proportionately more bass that also does all the other stuff really well?
I thank you (my neighbor probably will not). Jeff
