| Reliability of brand Amplifier: Mcintosh MC2200, (it is old, I know, 1976 vintage)@sengr If your amp really is that old, if its not had the power supplies refurbished recently then you will want to get that done if you want that amp to run reliably. It will also sound... | |
| The Battle between Stiffness And Damping Of The Speaker Enclosures! In the 6moons review on page 4, they said they used a 300B amp with only 8 watts and it worked just fine and their room is not small.If the specs are correct, then this was entirely inappropriate use of an SET, since it would have been making a l... | |
| The Battle between Stiffness And Damping Of The Speaker Enclosures! Some say these Volya Bouquet Loudspeakers could be one of the very best on the market right now.. Seems unlikely. With rated sensitivity at 86dB, and impedance of 4 ohms, when you work out the math the efficiency is 83dB. That is a speaker that ne... | |
| Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms? what I want to know is what one hears with a 17 Hz bass response like the talons? How is that better than a speaker with a bass of 23 Hz? This is coming from the perspective that there is not that much recorded material able to provide 17 Hz. ... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry And is it also fair to see a boom as similar to the functions of a tone arm since it has also inside of the boom wires that carry the music’s electric signal from the mic to the recording magnetic tape? Right here is where the analogy falls apa... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry Even Rega is a good tonearm and has not VTA adjustment.As long as you use their cartridge. Otherwise its problematic. Good luck if you want to use a different turntable or platter pad (as they affect the sound as well). Now, we can have a great c... | |
| End of the World system If the town had a high end shop, then there's likely a bike shop too. I'd stop there first- and make sure I had an air pump and some decent panniers. And find some bear spray. | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? The last time I heard one was a year and a few months ago. It seemed well- set up; the system in which is was playing sounded very good!When was the last time you heard a new SL1200G; especially, when was the last time you heard one with an upgra... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry Although I do agree with others here that the stylus and cartridge maybe more important than the tone arm WHEN mechanically reproducing sound from vinyl.@tyray Dave Slagle recently sent an article to me by Peter Moncreif, who did some testing on... | |
| Single driver vs traditional 3 way loudspeakers I’ve listened to several full range driver speakers and all have compromises. Either they are soft, or lack bass, or have whizzer cone artifacts. The Cube Audio Nenuphar look interesting with a 10" woofer and 3 whizzers. PHY has introduced a 6" dr... | |
| Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms? If your amp puts out 150 watts into 8 ohms and 200 into 4 ohms, it will drive your speakers just fine if you only need 100 watts into the 4 ohm frequencies to drive them as loud as you want to listen to them.Is that right, @atmasphere ?It is- an... | |

| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? @daveyf I've service thousands of turntables over the last 45 years. The new Technics is nothing like the old SL1200 although it looks the part in every way. I took one apart with an eye to see about building a different plinth for it, and was su... | |
| Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position Yes! It might make a difference between a standing wave or none- at your listening position. | |
| 70’s rock pressings. Witch equipment deserve? I go for the original if I can find it- original press from the country where the recording was made. But if the title isn't that important to me I often pick up a reissue. |
