| 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... | |

| 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... | |
