Distributed Bass Array configuration
Hi Tim,Thank you. Appreciate the good vibes and feedback. Yes, the Classic T-1.5s produce great bass as is, but having lived with augmented bass for so many years and my frequent excessive need for an over abundance of bass when rocking out, I fel... 
Phono cartridge torque wrench
@millercarbon,I can’t believe that Porsche has such a high torque rating on the center lock hub lug nut. That is race car territory. Anyways, agree, just tighten the cartridge snug fit to the point when all spurious play or wiggle room is eliminat... 
Scheu Audio Das Laufwerke No 2 Arrives Safely
Congratulations on your recent acquisition. I love the look of mass loaded turntables. The Sheu Laufwerke 2 reminds me of a few Transrotor models as well. Is you’re new turntable black or acrylic? Happy listening.  
Distributed Bass Array configuration
Well, I am going to join the DBA Swarm club, will, let’s call it the “Magnum” Swarm club. Instead of 4 10” subwoofer driver cabinets, I am getting 4 12” subwoofer driver cabinets in 36”x14”x14” dimensions.  After speaking with James Romeyn about m... 
Analog Upgrade - Where to start?
Your system specs look good to me. Based on what you said; “ looking for more dynamic sound, detail (without edge) and musicality.”, the first places I would look at are 1., the phono cartridges…there are so many newer models at various price poin... 
Shunyata Research alpha hc vs Shunyata Research original black mamba
I have two pairs of the Black Mamba and one older Alpha. The Black Mamba is used on my dual power supply phono stage and the alpha on my preamp. They seem to work very well and I don’t perceive any problems. But, the newer versions of these Alpha ... 
Single vs. Dual Subs
You can obtain satisfactory results with one sub, but to achieve really great integration you also you need; lots of time, and a way to equalize and tailor the bass frequency response to correlate to your listening position. I have found great res... 
Transrotor Turntable please help…
What model is your Transrotor? The link does not work. Specifically, what kind of help do you need or what questions do you need answered? I am very familiar with Transrotor.  
Analogue Productions announces May 21st release of ultimate Kind Of Blue LP
Watched the Miles Davis Kind of Blue live panel today. Very interesting discussion about the source of the new UHQR. Michael Hobson spoke at length for the first hour or so and provided some insight on the origination of Classic Records production... 
Power Conditioner vs A/C cables
@phantom_av,I purchased an Elgar power conditioner many years from a military surplus sale for about 40 dollars. I used it with Carver and Soundcraftsman amps. It was heavy and at the time we were moving, so I gave it to my best friend. I don’t re... 
Intimate, warm and holographic alternative
Make sure you check out any of the Classic Audio Loudspeakers field coil variants. After spending a few years listening to different speakers, going to audio shows in Europe and in the United States, this type of speaker, field coil drivers, and s...

Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables
@millercarbon Ola, guten tag, und Hallo!,Your feedback has me interested to explore these cables. Did you use these in a bi-wire configuration or single wire? I know you did not mention it, or I may have overlooked it, so, I am assuming single pai... 
Where does it end?
@rocray,Roger that. I can’t even imagine a sled with that much HP, but it would be cool to watch for sure. Holy cow, 400-600 HP sleds must sound like funny cars. Drag racing sleds, have to Google videos to watch later. Sounds exciting. I love watc... 
Would silver cables beat UP-OCC copper?
@nonoise,Yes, you sure are in a SC quandary, LOL. I mean how can you go wrong with 10 gauge OCC stranded silver for the bass? My Neotech speaker cables are the 9 gauge NES 1002 series which I just found a pair online for 5800, what? I have two pai...
