| Room Analysis-How? Second the recommendation on The Master Handbook. | |
| Help deciding between two speakers. How much these vintage speakers would cost today has nothing to do with how they sound and perform by current standards. Dont waste your time on vintage speakers. | |
| Single way or multiway My take is that the simpler the design the better. The intrinsic problems of single driver systems are pretty obvious. Asking a single driver to reproduce the entire spectrum is simply not possible. Having said this the midrange of the some of the... | |
| What is your vinyl commitment? Merrill Williams REAL table, Tri-planar arm, Dynavector and Hyabusa cartridges, Zesto Reference phono stage. So about $ 40K retail. | |
| Cryogenic Treatment of Tubes, and why you should not. More with the double blind nonsense. Why do so many of you take shelter under such a flawed methodology? | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? Better safe than sorry I guess, but the chances of problems are very remote. Keep it in the garage if you feel better, but what is to stop them from entering your house if they are armed or threaten? | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries So you have been researching this subject for over 15 years. No doubt many have done research for this period or longer just to discover their basic premise was wrong. Lucky though that now I dont think any metric is really checked and any theory ... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries What a bunch of nonsense! Sorry but I dont see too many impediments for women who would like to let their thoughts be known. As if there existed some form of gender based, universal trend in thought. The supposition that masculine and feminine per... | |
| KT88 vs 6550 vs ? for warm midrange - using Cronos Mag lll RCA clear top 12AU7 and GE short plate 12AX7s are pretty pedestrian tubes and not known to be warm in fact a bit the opposite. So before changing power tubes. you should research small signal tubes which tend toward the warm or rich and start at t... | |
| Sansui SP-2500 - Keep Original, or Modify? Replace the caps, keep the drivers. Keep in mind that this was a pretty bad speaker and nothing you do will elevate them much. Back in the day this wasnt even a very good speaker. | |
| A special loudspeaker - Revival Audio Atalante 5 Well they look very much like a BBC inspired design. Simple, thin-walled cabinets with flat fronts. Hard to check some critical boxes with such a design. Too often clinical is used to describe speakers that actually present the music as intended. ... | |
| Tannoy or Volti Yes I have heard both. A couple of models from Volti and many Tannoy over the years. Iif you like horns then the Volti sound like a good horn speaker. Better than Klipsch but still a horn with all the advantages and warts of this type of design. ... | |
| Tannoy or Volti Volti if you must choose. | |
| Suggestions for Preamp Tubes Up until recently the Russian versions of the 6922, and by default 7308 and 6DJ8, were horrible sounding tubes. Even the rather pedestrian U.S. made versions were much better. The newer production versions might be better, but I cant speak to this... | |
| So, “Audio Science Review” really doesn’t like this video Why question what you hear? Is it a way to justify spending less? I never understood this skepticism. I think it is a fair assumption that the ARS crew develop their beliefs at the kitchen table and not in the listening room. Most seem to be looki... |
