| all tube phono preamp creating a crackling, fire-like sound Sounds like a tube is going t*ts up. Do you have access to a good tube tester? | |
| Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms Thanks Duke! I always enjoy (and more importantly, learn something from) your posts. | |

| Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms Duke and heaudio both make good points. But without hijacking this thread I will simply say that there are some folks (including me) that find omnidirectional speakers better mimic the music we prefer in the venues we typically listen live. I li... | |
| Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms Interesting thread. I would say that there are basically two ways to deal with a problematic room (but aren't they all problematic, to some degree?). First is by passive or active treatment. The former is classic room treatments, as little or as m... | |
| Active Not powered stand mount loudspeaker recommendations seadogs1, I have been involved in audio for over 45 years, including several years as an audio dealer and distributor. I have never before heard of an unpowered speaker referred to as "active." The industry, in general, regards an active speaker... | |
| How does this make sense, any sense? Any sense at all?? where are the Big Room people listening?In the large listening rooms I have set up or listened in, the listening distances may be the same or a little greater then tooms you are used to.

It's a nice turntable but I doubt you can wring enough performance out of that deck and tonearm to justify the spend. Others will surely disagree. If it were me I would mount a Nagaoka MP-500 and be done w... | |
| Why is There Not More Consolidation in Audio? Interesting question and one that deserves a long and thoughtful answer. But not from me.But seriously, I have been a an audio dealer and worked with an audio distributor. Many people (me included) would say that there are too many manufacturers o... | |

| Best Tonearm for Thorens TD-124. chakster, I'm pretty sure Jelco told me that they only manufacture the TA-series arms. I Googled it this morning and saw one reference that indicated that the other Ortofon tonearms were made in Finland (?). But I'm not really sure now. Anyone? | |
| Best Tonearm for Thorens TD-124. Ortofon tonearms made by Jelco in JapanThe TA series are contract manufactured by Jelco. I believe that the AS and RS tonearms are still manufactured by Ortofon in Nakskov, Denmark. | |
