| Does Wilson Sophia Sound good at low volumes? The performance of a loudspeaker at low volumes has very little to do with the associated amplification, except for the amplifier distortion and noise levels. The Fletcher-Munson loudness curves are far more important. The speaker drivers may or m... | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables Tbg, contact cleaner is toxic. So are a lot of things around the house. What is the point of the remark? | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables Norm (Tbg), it's true that both use liquid conductors, but that's where the similarity ends. Cerious uses ceramic material, whereas Teo Audio uses a proprietary alloy of gallium, indium, and tin which was initially developed as a relatively safe s... | |
| Opinions on Full-Range/single driver speakers Buconero, Tannoys have concentric drivers (tweeter in the throat, etc.) but not single drivers. I think they share some advantages of single drivers but not all. | |
| Some top cd-players Audiofeil, you would be better served to confine your comments to products you sell.Mrtennis, I wholeheartedly agree with your closing remark. | |
| Anybody have the Feickert Adjust + program? I use a USB Sound Blaster since my laptop doesn't have a line input. Another $100. | |
| Anybody have the Feickert Adjust + program? Dan_ed, adjusting the cartridge and tonearm is straightforward when you see the program in action, and the proof is in the listening. If you are certain of just as good results using some other tools, go for it. The option a lot of people may pref... | |
| Anybody have the Feickert Adjust + program? Mike, the standard version of the program can get you much of the way there. The azimuth adjustment is key (a fraction of a degree can make a big difference), which in some cases takes quite a while, especially if your tonearm doesn't have that ad... | |
| Anybody have the Feickert Adjust + program? As mentioned above, I am a dealer of the Feickert turntables and tonearms and use the Adjust+ Pro software for clients. And although the software is relatively straightforward to use, the learning curve, especially system configuration, can be tri... | |
| Wilson Audio paint problems If you only called Wilson once, keep trying until you get through. It sounds like something the warranty should cover, especially given Wilson's emphasis on the finish. | |
| Speaker Technology over the last 10 years There have been some advances in materials. Carbon fiber and Kevlar have been successfully used, for example. Carbon nanotubes are used by a few, although there are other materials that exhibit the same properties. Meanwhile, some who have tried m... | |
| Well Tempered Reference Arm I'm curious as to how the overhang and offset angle are adjusted, since a Well Tempered Reference I aligned with the Feickert software the other day had a fixed arm mounting and fixed holes in the headshell rather than slots. The client is ecstati... | |
| Power line frequency and possible equipment damage Don't do it unless you're sure the motor won't get fried. | |
| Mark Levinson phono modules No idea about the LNP-2, but John Curl probably knows about ML-1/JC-2 modules, and perhaps there's a chance he knows something about the LNP-2. Email me privately for info.Brian | |
| What is "rich mans" DL-103? 03-17-09: Ad010685In my opinion Shelter top of the range have meat & bones with finesse.Certainly agree, although it might help to know which tonearm is being used. |
