| 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. | |
| Shindo preamps Arthur Loesch has nothing to do with Shindo, if that's what you meant. Vinyljh is Jonathan Halpern of Tone Imports, US distributor of Shindo. | |
| is audiogon good for the audio industry or bad? Viridian and Jea48 have hit the nail on the head. While it's a free market, if a large percentage of equipment purchases were of used products instead of new, it could be impossible for many high end companies (manufacturers, distributors, and dea... | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility Using a good protractor is essential for proper setup. John Elison has created a superb spreadsheet to aid setup, available online in a couple of places such as Enjoy the Music (bottom of page).Among the tools I use is a Feickert protractor for se... | |
| Wilson Alexandria V2 Thanks for the clarification, Dgad. Blowing resistors due to overdriving is a very small consideration for most people, I think, unless the speakers don't perform well at low and moderate volumes. The much larger considerations are the sound and d... | |
| Wilson Alexandria V2 Scousepasty, it's interesting that you mention the last part. A couple of years ago Sound Lab demonstrated a pair of 5-wide arrays of ProStat 922s, each array set up in a continuous arc at each side of the stage in the 21,000 seat LDS Conference C... | |
| Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57? I got reasonably good results with a Bedini 25/25 but would probably use tube amplification today. | |
| You're probably listening too loud The argument that people play their music too loud is flawed. If you were to measure SPLs in a small venue of unamplified musicians, say a jazz or folk group, you might be surprised at how high the peak levels, not the average, are. Similarly, a f... | |
| Where can I get my Tri-Planar burn in cable cooker Somewhat similar to Jfrech's method, I've used a MOBIE to break in tonearm wiring, even daisy chaining two arms together, and offer this service to clients. | |
| Kuzma Stabi Ref/Stogi Ref vs TW Acustic Raven One As a dealer I have the Stogi Reference and 4POINT tonearms here, as well as the Feickert turntable which can also be fitted with those arms. The Stogi Reference is an outstanding arm, but the 4POINT in a different league altogether. Breathtaking. | |
| Gerald Cantor has passed away. Yes, the news of Jerry's passing was saddening. A gentle soul and a true music lover.The annual Midwest Classical Record Show will be held at the same venue as before, the Holiday Inn at 5300 W. Touhy Ave. just west of the Edens Expressway (I-94),... | |
| Most agreed upon best speaker? Tvad: I got it too but wasn't drunk. Disorderly crossovers? Sorry, Pedrillo, but you should have expected this :) |
