| New TT for ~$1500 Dont buy a direct drive table unless you have at least $ 10,000 for the deck only. Old/cheap direct drive tables are terrible IMO. If you had the $, the entry level Kuzma arm and table are unbeatable for the price. | |
| What should I do? You cant judge the cartridge until is actually past break in. You need to experiment with loading as the proper setting can sometimes be surprising and not what is suggested by specs. You also need to have a system of sufficient quality to appreci... | |
| Best bookshelf loudspeakers under 10,000 for the pair Second the Boenicke suggestion. I have heard the TADs sound superb and then really poor. Problem with the Intuitive Design is that Dale modified the drivers and I am not certain that you could get new drivers with the proper voodoo. Also you need ... | |
| If you listen to anything other than Classic Jazz, don't read this. In reality a speaker is either good on all genres of music or it is not a good speaker. It can be no other way. In fact, if a reviewer ever recommends a particular speaker for a specific type of music you should immediately discount this individua... | |
| Is there such a thing as too much power? Simple fact is that if you can get a more powerful amp to sound as good as a lower powered amp through the entire spectrum more power is better. Problem is that many higher powered amps dont sound as good as their lowered powered alternatives. Thi... | |
| Soundstage Width and Depth The real question should be about soundstage width and depth that exist but shouldnt. Exactly how much of these characteristics are the result of speaker placement and how much is actually on the recording? | |
| Can I go wrong with Stillpoint Ultra Mini anti-vibration isolation feet? Yes HRS products are superb but they tend to be pricey. Mike knows his stuff! | |
| To horn or not to horn And I would say that when done well, horns do a very particular thing better than all other designs. The sense of ease you get with horns is really special. This can be intoxicating for a time, but to me always falls short in all other areas when ... | |
| Sloppy, muted bass response on Hegel h190 Are you using the Kube? | |
| To horn or not to horn As others have suggested not all horns are created equal. However, I dislike a higher percentage of horn designs than any other speaker type. | |

| Where’s My Weakest Link? I agree with millercarbon in that some decent cables (look at the opening price point Black Cat) and some rudimentary room treatments (first reflection points are a good starting point) before buying new components. Dont take millercarbon too seri... | |
| Can I go wrong with Stillpoint Ultra Mini anti-vibration isolation feet? I tried Stillpoints under numerous components years ago and found them very effective on some pieces and actually detracting under others. My point is that there is no one size fits all solution. Under my transport, I actually prefer my Symposium ... | |
| speakers or room??? Actually OC fiberglass isnt very effective when compared with an engineered cotton or wool material designed for this purpose. I bought some cotton material from a company called Soundproof Cow which I think is very good. If you want to go cheap t... | |
