| What is it the wears out on a cartridge? Nsgarch wrote:Line-contact or micro-ridge styli will last longer than conical or elliptical styli; because the former develop less friction (even though most cartridges that use them require higher VTF)In theory, yes. In practice, only if the alig... | |
| TAS and the Martin Logan Source Wonderful_electric, you probably meant to say dipolar, which is typically how ESLs radiate sound, usually as a virtual line source or spherical source. Either way, unless the ESL itself produces the bass, there is most often a discontinuity betwee... | |
| Feickert Adjust+ Tool To my knowledge the product must be purchased through the website at this time. The Pro version is due to arrive here any day. Chris Feickert gave me a personal introduction to the software at RMAF.By the time Fremer's review arrived in the mail, ... | |
| Amp and Pre to match Wilson W/P 8 and others The W/P 8s are an easy load and work well with tubes, including OTL amps of 60 watts or more. A matching tube preamp will work wonderfully with your CD player. | |

One of my customers heard the benefits immediately on his MA6900, as did I, and I assure you the CD player he was using does not invert polarity - some do. Maybe the MCD201 also inverts, so in... | |

| 2008 RMAF – – – all things analog. Well said, Paul. I accomplished what I hoped to and then some, so although attendance was down a bit, it was exciting. And as always it was fun to associate names with faces. I recommend RMAF way over CES for those not in the business. | |

| Vienna Die Muzick flagship speakers For $27k one would hope bass response is at least to the low 20s...I find it odd that the speakers had to be toed in to sound good, which also interacts a lot more with the room acoustics. We'll see how they are... | |
| Plasma speakers anyone with info? Magfan, to each his own...ESLs are strongly preferred here over other planar technologies, especially for low level detail. SF6 is more difficult to get these days but not impossible. It does have some benefits. Bias voltage can be much higher tha... | |
