| Used Korean Speakers If you post a negative review of these, three security agents will visit your home, reposition the speakers, empty your fridge, and remove all of your fingernails. | |
| I like Steve Guttenberg. I am also a fan. I've run into him numerous times at audio shows. He is friendly, humble and just a really nice guy. I do read some of his posts on CNet. I think he is one of the more trustworthy audio journalists working today. I don't subsc... | |
| Digitizing LPs @dtc - You, know, I forgot that Vinyl Studio also is available for Windows. I may try it as an interim fix until the SUgarcube can do track splitting. Thanks. | |
| Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!) Klaud Bunge at Odyssey Audio makes a line of speakers. Audio companies don’t get much smaller than Odyssey. | |
| Digitizing LPs I am in the same boat as the OP. For 12 years, I have been slowly digitizing my LPs, about 3 or 4 per week. Until recently, the process was: Clean the LP > Record it to CD-R using a Marantz pro-sumer CD recorder, inserting track splits on th... | |
| Who makes the best "Coaxial" Tweeter/Midrange design? @timlub - No doubt, Tim. Alas, I have neither the skills nor the time to attempt such speaker surgery. But even as is, they were a steal. | |
| Folded tweeters vs. dome? My 2 cents: I have heard many speakers that use domes of various materials. Some were good, some were bad, some were ugly. But I have yet to hear an AMT folded ribbon tweeter that I did not like. I have heard them in Golden Ears, custom speake... | |
| Who makes the best "Coaxial" Tweeter/Midrange design? @timlub - I have a pair of the Insignia coax speakers on a shelf in my dining room. Powered by an old JVC receiver, they sound amazing with music from my server via Plex on my computer, and that is just using the audio out from the sound card. T... | |
| Who makes the best "Coaxial" Tweeter/Midrange design? The best I have heard was the Manger driver - mangeraudio.com. Heard them years ago in a custom design. I have heard some others, and, IMHO, these walked all over the KEFs I've heard. I have heard the Piegas, and they are pretty good, too. But... | |
| vandersteen 2w subwoofer Just remember that the plate amp in the 2Wq has a build in first order boost from 80Hz on down, so for best results you should feed the mains with a first order roll off from 80 Hz on down. FWIW, Aesthetix makes some amps that have built in cross... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! I sent my comments to Sweetvinyl, and got a fast reply. It seems I have the software version prior to the current release. I set my SC-2 to Bypass and left it powered on, which should enable the firmware download. I will reboot tonight or tomor... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! Update - After some time away, I returned home, fired up my SC-2, and was pleased to see I got an update. Both the SC-2 and the Sugarcube Android app were updated. The biggest difference I noticed was that you can now customize the resolution for ... | |
| Recent retip(canti also) Dude where did my soundstage width go @terry9 - Lubing the nuts will reduce chaffing, but I am not sure it will make anything sound better. Well, courderoys, perhaps. | |

| What Do You Think About This Comment? Douglas - You make a good point. I have heard my own speakers demonstrated at shows and felt they didn’t sound nearly as good as they do in my own home with my front end gear. It’s all about synergy and set up. That said, I did have a pair of entr... |
