| Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner @prof, I received a notice from Degritter that after the initial batch of machines were shipped out, a number of minor defects reared their heads, and the company was recalling those machines. Have you sent yours back? | |
| Does anyone know anything about the audio dealer True Audiophile ? Exactly, @robert53. I really hoped True Audiophile would prove to be up to my expectations in regard to turntable/arm/cartridge setup and alignment. But being told I would be met at some location in the area (I'm in Vancouver, just over the river ... | |
| Hot CD Stamper? I can't imagine a lone human being having enough time available to compare all the LP pressings of all the albums that have ever been made, the ones that just happen to come your way. Who knows, there may be even better ones out there than those T... | |
| Best analog high pass filter for low $ If a 1st order high-pass filter is steep enough for you (6dB/octave), a cap can be installed on the input jacks of your power amp (inside the chassis is the common choice). Creating the filter thusly saves the cost of both a x/o and an extra set o... | |
| Turntable that will be around heavy foot steps? The suggestion of the Townshend Rock turntable is an excellent one. Unfortunately, the table is not currently in production, and used ones rarely come up for sale. I’m not about to sell mine, nor is, I believe, @slaw. But the Seismic Pods (around ... | |
| Does anyone know anything about the audio dealer True Audiophile ? In the name of clarity.....when I asked via email if I would be dropping off my table/arm/cartridge to have it aligned, I was NOT offered an in-home visit, but rather was told, as I stated above, that they would meet me at a to-be-arranged locatio... | |
| Magnepan 20.7 and Subs Most subs are themselves already rolling off at 30Hz. If you have the $, look into the Eminent Technology TRW-17 Rotary Woofer. It’s intended use is for the bottom octave (20Hz-40Hz) and below. | |
| A DIY Swarm-based Distributed Bass Array for SOTA Bass At a number of RMAF's, Danny Richie of GR Research placed a pair of his (and Rythmik Audio's) OB/Dipole Subs along side his main speakers at the front of the room, with a pair of sealed box subs (Rythmik F12G) at the rear, for a total of four subs... | |
| Ugrade-itis - is there a cure? I'll bet a lot of Audiogoners have systems that are ALREADY better than they need to be in terms of reproducing the mostly mediocre or worse recordings available commercially. The real work is finding good sounding LP's, CD's, etc., ones with soun... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @reubent, you're right, in the context of Bill Monroe, Jim & Jesse, Flatt & Scruggs, The Louvin Brothers, The Stanley Brothers, Merle Travis, Del McCoury, etc., Chris isn't particularly hardcore. But I used the term with the typical Audiog... | |
| Reel to reel @inna, you are so right about Walt Davies. He had a hi-fi shop in the 70’s, and I bought my Revox A77 (which I still own!) from him. His Last products (for LP’s, styluses, CD’s, tapes, and recorders) are all excellent. | |
| Dual vs single sub What are considered "bass frequencies"? Below what frequency are the L and R channels summed to mono? One way to hear differences between L and R is to use the Dynaco Quadaptor; it uses the difference (out-of-phase) content in a recording to produ... | |
| Image/soundstage and punch/bass @birdfan, nothing? I’m going to surmise you have not heard the Eminent Technology LFT-8b (like Maggies, a magnetic-planar loudspeaker). I have owned three pair of Maggies (including my current Tympani T-IVa), and one pair of the ET’s, and I must d... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @reubent, if you aren't put off by hardcore Bluegrass, keep a lookout for Chris Hillman's 1980's albums on Sugar Hill Records (not the Rap Sugar Hill, of course!). I love them musically, and the LP's feature great sound quality. Chris was working ... | |
| Does anyone know anything about the audio dealer True Audiophile ? @jetter, no, there's no way I would do that. Not only highly unprofessional, but fishy. Why doesn't he (or they) want anyone to know where he/they are? Besides, he quoted me a price of $400 for table/arm/cartridge setup and alignment! |
