| Help! My Nakamichi LX-5 won’t play, rewind, ff, or record. Yes.The belt driving the counter is probably perished. There is a good chance that the tire on the take-up spindle is too. The transport will eat tapes if the take-up spindle stops, so the counter belt runs off of the take up spindle. There are re... | |
| Equalization for vinyl nirvana @cardani Yes, if you are talking about pre-1958/stereo era mono recordings, its a bit of the Wild West just like it was with 78s.A good number of mono LPs mastered in the US were done with the RCA Orthophonic curve which is where the RIAA curve ca... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Not that I can tell - unless I stand against the back wall, of course. OK- then the correct answer is 'yes'. | |
| Looking for my Final Pair!! Bruno's comments contradict Raul's conclusion. Bruno teaches that a larger cone can get the job done with less excursion (which means 'lower distortion' in this case). The Klipsch has a 15" woofer, which is a larger cone resulting in less excursio... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Although I do wish a bit more bass than the Spatials can deliver. @simao Do you have a standing wave in your room? If you listen to your system at placed other than the listening chair does the bass get better? If yes, look into a Distributed Bass... | |
| Power regenerator vs conditioner Yes- although its possible to use ferro-resonant transformers to regulate line voltage, they also introduce harmonics and they can be pricey too if one of the lower distortion models. I've really not seen a decent conditioner that didn't have a l... | |
| Are Preamplifier’s Relevant Today or just a Hinderance with Digital Playback ? So you are saying that running through a bunch of resistors, transformers and caps, to say nothing of connectors and extra sets of wire/wire's doesn't colour the sound by comparison to running direct?? I mean really??Yes. There is such a thing ... | |
| Tube amp for falcon ls35a gold badge One of our employees owned the original BBC version of the LS35/a. They worked really well with our smallest amp, the S-30, which is triode and OTL. Because they are a bit power hungry you do need about 35-40 watts to make them sing. | |
| My NAD 3020 D proves your Class D tropes are wrong I find myself less willing to type with the same precision and care that I used to. I get accused of being overly specific more than I used to... | |
| high sensitivity + low impedance vs. low sensitivity + high impedance Speaker Y is harder to drive from an amplifier perspective. To start on something like this the first thing to do is convert from sensitivity to efficiency. Sensitivity is 2.83 volts at 1 meter. Efficiency is 1 watt 1 meter; into 8 ohms that is al... | |
| Compression Titanium Worlds finest tweet ever engineered The beryllium drivers in my speakers have their first breakup at 35KHz. The links provided didn't say anything about Ti diaphragms. I googled a few but without more info none of them seem to do as well as the drivers I already have. So I'm going w... | |
| Compression Horns for Far field listening one has gain at say 100-120 db level, I listen at low db level, sitting 8 ft from speaker , near field blare is not going to be a issue.when i move to arizona, hopefully i will have a bigger listening room, = can use a bit more gain. It sound... | |
| Are Preamplifier’s Relevant Today or just a Hinderance with Digital Playback ? One fellow that I personally admire as I believe him to be quite forward in thought is Bruno Putzey'sBruno is quite brilliant.The thing is that cables can cause colorations due to capacitance, interactions with the output impedance of a source, th... | |
| Power regenerator vs conditioner Ralph, what have you heard or have you tried the Puritan products? I put a lot of stock in your views, so I'm asking!@hilde45 No, I haven't. I took a look at their website. IMO a passive product like this might have some audible effect, but witho... | |
| Looking for my Final Pair!! You make critics and as always with out facts. Please bring/show here your first hand experiences with measures that proves your " muddy sound eliminating ANY perceived advantage ".Lol!! ROFLMAO! Raul, first, you don't present measurements here,... |
