I am guessing it would be the high mass designs because I own one and it is never affected by vibration. I see lots of people with Regas that need to mount th... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Very interesting speakers! The stereophile mention of the Impact monitors had me searching around and I landed on this thread for the DIs as well a very favorable convincing video review of the DIs by Zerofidelity. The idea of the ring of tweete... | |
| Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? sunny j-i have heard most of the GE line including your 7s and 80% of the speakers on your wish list. as others have mentioned, the GEs are decent HT speakers but not quite optimized for simulating a live musical sound stage. they have "syntheti... | |
| LP's... Do they sound better now than 30 yrs ago? Listen to a modern reissue by Analog Productions / Quality Records or MoFi and they will take your head off they sound so amazing. However it does take a fairly decent vinyl setup (cart/tuentable/phono preamp) properly set up to get there. noise... | |

| Dynavector 20x2 vs Audio Technica ART-9. I own both cartridges and bought the ART9 not quite a year ago seeking an upgrade to the DV20X2L. I wanted something more transparent (like the Ortofon 2M Black, which I like but it has other issues) yet maintaining the Dynamics of the Dynavector... | |
| Spendor, Harbeth...why so hot ? @prof i would challenge your setup- speaker positioning and listening position. when positioned properly the SHL5s have amazing stage depth and disappear completely. they need to be 4-5 feet from the wall and you should listen nearfield in an eq... | |
| KEF R700 Opinions please Listened to them many times and wanted to love them because they look great and have really good bass. I do love the KEF LS50s but the R700s are not voiced in the same way. The R700s have a smooth sound but the midrange is not open, transparent ... | |
