| Any steel 14” to 16” speaker stands out there? Search for Sound Anchor stands. For not too much coin, they will custom make metal stands any way you want them. Pretty fast build and ship time, too. | |
| Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers with M5-HP crossovers - help needed @mr_m - Thanks, that was helpful. Since my pre is tubed, our systems have a bit in common. I think I am going ahead with the amp. Hopefully, it will all work together. | |
| Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers with M5-HP crossovers - help needed Sorry I never posted the outcome here. I thought I had. Anyway, the issue was that my M5-HPs, which I bought used, were custom units with 10 rather than 8 dip switches (I should change my rating on the Audiogon seller, who never mentioned this t... | |
| Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers? IME, the German Physiks Borderland Mk IV competes well with any 6 figure speakers I have heard. But, like all speakers, they are not for everyone (but they sure as heck are for me!). | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! @mjb87062017 - Sorry, I have been travelling for a few weeks. Also, as usual, after a few plane flights, I can't hear a blessed thing. When I finish unpacking and my hearing returns, I will check this out and report back. | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! Oh, and as for too much gadget involvement, remember, my goal is to get all my vinyl on to my server. That makes listening more convenient than ever, IMHO. | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! @tablejockey @noromance ... Of course, no piece of kit is for everyone. Otherwise, we would all own that piece of kit. I started this thread by remarking that if the SC-2 only digitized LPs, split tracks, added metadata, and dumped them on my se... | |
| Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder @mapman interestingly, in the Strohbeen/Guttenberg interview, John admits he really doesn't have a system of his own. He attends live performances regularly. I think this affects how he voices his speakers. | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! Just a quick update: The beta software for the SC-2 has gone through several revisions. Metadata searching has improved greatly. Also, I can now enter catalog numbers of LPs and the SC-2 will use that data to populate the metadata fields and ad... | |
| Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder I can't help posting: Some times, my listening sessions seem, um, uninspired. But then there are nights like last night. I put together a pretty random playlist on my server. Nearly every track was just magical. The capper was "No Way Out" by... | |
| A New? Way to Buy Loudspeakers?? Well, it’s clever. And I suppose if your listening room in anechoic, and your budget for speakers matches Crutch’s price range, and your ear shape matches the microphone baffle, it might help narrow down which speakers to order for a home audition... | |
| Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder @tjj99... If you like this thread, check out the Micro Walsh Talls, Who's Heard Them thread, one of largest here. Yes, Ohms respond well to gobs of power, no question. And yes, John and everyone at Ohm are a pleasure to deal with. My 2000s are ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? @bstatmeister... Yes the SC-2 is spendy. I got mine via Indiegogo as a beta unit for half the price. I use the KAB-1 record cleaner, similar to the RD V except you connect your own cannisters vacuum. When I bought it, about 14 years ago, there ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? @bstatmeister... For digitizing vinyl, I strongly recommend that you try the Sugarcube SC-2 by Sweetvinyl. I am using it with excellent results. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? @jim_hip - IME, the main criteria Ohm uses to determine which center channel you need is distance from that center channel speaker. In my case, I was told by John Strobeen that since I sit about 10 feet from the center, that the smallest model wo... |
