| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( I am not speaking for anyone else here, but I grew up in a house where television was B/W then colour in the 60's. We rode on bicycles 4-5 miles to school, in shorts and long socks, rotary dial bakelite phones, slide rules and log tables, no calcu... | |
| Advice on best match MC Cartidges for these tonearms I thought I would get back into vinyl. I bought 4 turntables and 3 arms. Talk about an idiot! I only needed 1, but needed to work out which one. I will keep 2, the Kuzma Stabi Ref II and the Micro Seiki BL-91L.The others are my trusty JVC YL-5F, a... | |
| Beware the audio guru @onlyqualityhifi I won't disparage the humble fuse anymore...I understand what you say about the amplifier, but it may only exaggerate the garbage in scenario, to bigger garbage out. IMHO... A. | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? It would appear to depend on how many layers of ply is used. The B&W 800 D3 frame uses 8-13 layers of ply, let alone the glue to put it together. Tonally it may be superior to MDF but then that depends on the speaker drivers you use. MDF will ... | |
| Talk but not walk? Michael, you are a chameleon.I finished 4 years of engineering in 1977. You must be well older than me.I don't see the need to exaggerate my credentials. Why do your posts of historical endeavours seem to be out of kilter with posted history? Were... | |
| Beware the audio guru @wolf_garcia How can you say such blasphemy about a fuse! | |
| Advice on best match MC Cartidges for these tonearms I have 5 turntables, 3 have cartridges which are well entrenched and those I won't be changing. The Micro Seiki BL91L (with the LS arm) is the one I would like to see sorted. The other is a Micro Seiki DDX-1500 on which I have 2 mounts, 2 arms, no... | |
| Low Watt Solid State Amp @gotog I can recommend any of the Yamaha RX-A30 series eg A3030 and up. Great Stereo, 9.2 channels to play with, Audyssey room correction. Good solid clean sound and should be in your price point. Only down point is that it doesn't support 4ohm sp... | |
| Advice on best match MC Cartidges for these tonearms @sampsa55 @dover Thanks for the suggestions. I have been leaning toward the Ortofon Cadenza Bronze, in that it has some good technology used by higher cartridges from the same manufacturer, and is from what I have researched so far, not as "brash"... | |
| Talk but not walk? Sound engineers Ed Long and Ron Wickersham developed the concept of the PZM. "Pressure Zone Microphone"To my delight, Carter was well aware of the technology, writing back:“I was part of the class at Syn-Aud-Con that helped in the development of t... | |
| Term for an LP that is about the quality you'd expect to pull out of a dollar bin? A plough disk? | |
| Talk but not walk? @glupson I fully understand your point. Maybe an "empirical testing lab" is the wrong term, however because half of our system refers to the appreciation of music, and the other half refers to the physical means of imparting it, both can be better... | |
| New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000 To produce what can only be considered an electrical engineering work of art show that Dan is able to do at that price point. I remember when the NAIM Statement amplifiers came out and they were big money too, and are still magnificent to look at.... | |
| Talk but not walk? @glupson It comes back to a simple case of a person making an assertion of some kind, and providing the methodology by which this was found or measured and a kind to the point description.There is nothing wrong with that. We do it every day we go ... | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense @geoffkait I have no problem with your statement. However Tweaks are still referred to as small changes.However I absolutely agree that an unpredictable change may produce a large influence in the way we appreciate the sound (in this forum's case)... |
