| Reference 3a Decapo Anniversary I have heard the "regular" Decapo, but too many years ago to compare. The 40th is essentially the same beast, more resonance control and, I believe Tash adifferent tweeter cap and wiring. I haven’t heard the Reflector but I have seen them at shows... | |
| Reference 3a Decapo Anniversary One of the things I have found most impressive is the even handed nature of the sound. Notes almost never push too forward and fatigue. Yet, they are among the most dimensional speakers I have heard and create a huge wall of sound. I can also list... | |
| Reference 3a Decapo Anniversary Update. I added the newest Rel 7 series sub and it improved the sound in every way. Absolutely seamless and no smearing of the mids. I am every bit as enamored of these speakers as when I received them, and break in has improved them still. ... | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience Didnt see the room size before. Audio Note would be out, no corners close enough. Avant Gard worth hearing in a room like that. | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience I posted on these a few weeks ago . I have had dozens of quality speakers and heard hundreds and for me there is something about Reference 3a that opens a door. Plenty of choices out there but try to hear some. I would say do the same with Audi... | |
| Reference 3a Decapo Anniversary My thoughts exactly. They are so easy. I just plopped them down and fired them up with a non ideal solid state integrated and was swept away. Although I will certainly try to optimize them it's not a huge priority. If this makes me a fan boy or... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? Dude, quit while your behind :) | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? Mijostyn , you are looking at it from the wrong angle. Added stylus friction is inevitable but the system can be optimized to best deal with it. Lowest possible bearing friction is part of that puzzle. Low friction bearing make even small motors l... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? A key to reducing the effects of stylus drag is reducing turntable bearing friction. Ultimately, the effects of drag all go back to the motor. If it has less work to do overcoming bearing friction so much the better. | |
| Best speakers for max. $3000? If you like the Thiels then go with them as there isnt a lot out there that sounds similar . Listen for midrange/ treble hardness as Thiels not sourced just right can be fatiguing. also they are not kind to soso recordings and compression and cla... | |
| Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable A dirty belt/belt tension is the number one cause of this in my experience, also check to make sure pulley isnt slipping on motor shaft and be sure to clean pulley groovesBruce | |
| Shocked removed spikes, used blue tack, what other non spike footer I had an interesting experience recently. I was moving around my speakers with some pads to dial them in. They formerly used spikes and were in essentially the same location. I removed the pads but did not reinstall the spikes. A few days late... | |
