| Graham Phantom Supreme? Egrady, it may not be SRA that's causing the sound to be harsh, there's a very strong possibility of incorrect azimuth. In all of the alignments I've done, rarely is the optimum azimuth setting at the dead level position, regardless of the cost of... | |
| TW Raven Owners: Set Up Questions Whoa! Hey man, it was a joke, so relax! Syntax's post was great fun, by the way. | |
| TW Raven Owners: Set Up Questions Ebm, it might help if you came up for air once in a while :) | |
| TW Raven Owners: Set Up Questions In addition to the above, granite can be OK if damped by gluing linoleum to the underside. | |
| Empirical Audio Overdrive vs AMR DP 777 If the Overdrive is available for audition without requiring purchase, it would be easy enough to do a side by side comparison, otherwise you're throwing darts blindfolded. | |
| So Many Apogees for sale, and so few takers Hi Bob (Baranyi), I'm doing great and hope you are, too. Sorry to hear you weren't able to try the Lazarus, but so it goes, and I gather you gave up on the Apogee project. Anyway, stop by next time you're up this way, I'm open just about 24/7 :-) | |
| Table/Cart Set Up - By Ear or Test Record? It's better when the technical method correlates well with the ear. Less guesswork and time, and unanimous glowing testimonials. | |
| In Illinois, who can professionally set-up my Linn I owned an LP12 as my first high end 'table. While I moved on to others and ultimately became a dealer for other brands, it served me well.As Catastrofe mentioned, I am in the Chicago area (northwest suburbs) but travel regularly to assist clients... | |
| What happened to Welborne Labs? Islandmandan, unfortunately Ron Welborne vanished from the scene several years ago. If you do a web search on Welborne Labs you'll probably see many red flags. It's a pity, but if it cost you $100 instead of thousands as it did for some, you might... | |
| "Brand New"...I don't think so I always wondered what the difference is between "new" and "brand new."It could be the topic of a Seinfeld episode. | |
| Setting Azimuth Lewm: No, I take no issue with the point about azimuth adjustment not being a way to change channel balance. Far from it.Doug: I agree with your remark about overpriced gadgets, but adjusting by trial and error without measurement can be akin to t... | |
| Setting Azimuth And adjusting azimuth is done to minimize crosstalk. Period.Wrong. You heard what I did with your neighbor Michael's rig. Minimizing crosstalk was not the objective. | |
| Setting Azimuth The Fozgometer measures crosstalk and channel levels, and that's it. Good enough to get you in the ballpark but not worth $250 IMNSHO. Minimizing phase error is what's important, which isn't necessarily at the same azimuth setting as minimum cross... | |
| Best Solid State for Avalon Isis Rtn1's Karan 1200 monoblocks had pins 1 and 3 on the XLR inputs reversed, which he could verify. Normally pin 1 is ground and pin 3 is return, however in this case pin 1 was return and pin 3 was ground.It is my understanding this is true of some a... | |
| Local dealer has ESP 08-07-12: ChadnlizPretty sure every dealer does this to some degree but few are stupid or arrogant enough to say it outloud. I had faith in dealers but that isnt really the case anymore. Service, respect and ones word is remembered long after pric... |
