| Radikal Linn LP12 or Palmer 2.5? I really can't image comparing the Linn to the Palmer - they are both good decks but have completely different strengths and weaknesses. To be fair, I am not an owner or a fan of either but I have spent a considerable amount of time with both and... | |
| Best speakers for classic rock Rock and roll music is the sole reason Vandersteen speakers exist. A new pair of IICs will be just over your target price. A used pair will save you a bundle. | |
| Lets replace my Klipsch La Scala Speakers Gents, equalizers or DSP can do a lot, assuming that you are willing to put up with the extra analog-digital-analog conversion.But an equalizer CANNOT compensate for either a bad room ratio (square) and too much speaker in too small a room. DSP c... | |
| Lets replace my Klipsch La Scala Speakers Sorry, late to the party again.IMO your room is waaay to small for La Scalas. Before spending more money I would try a pair of Heresy IIIs. Use them stock on the floor, tilted). If you like the Klipsch house sound (albeit minus the shrillness) ... | |
| Easy to drive, outstandingly natural sound from 40-50 Hz up.....AN-E, O/96, others? I one owned a pair of speakers that sounded hauntingly beautiful with a low powered SS amp: the original JM Reynaud Ofrande speakers, made in France. Absolutely beautiful looking and sounding speakers.I ran these with an Atoll 80w SS integrated a... | |
| Mission 717 I recently found a pair of clean Mission 727s for my daughter and son-in-law. Very pretty speakers with the wood box and white motorboard face. A local craigslist deal at $125.They sound pretty good connected to my 45 tube SET monoblocks.They so... | |
| Seeking advice on several specific MC Step Up Transformers Cartridges like the EMT TDS 15 are problematic because the output voltage is "in between" most modern MM and MC cartridges. At 1:20 your SUT gain is way too high for 1mV output. Something in the 1:3-1:5 range would be more appropriate.You might ... | |
| Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER? The older Klipsch speakers were pretty good. The newer smaller models are not that good. Very cool/shrill sounding speakers IMO.Interesting, I feel quite the opposite. The never cared for the original Heresy speakers but I feel the /III model i... | |
| Nottingham Interspace vs Pear Audio vs Analogue Works I am a recovering former audio dealer. One of my products was Pear Audio Blue turntables. I specifically chose to represent Pear Audio because I was a former Nottingham owner and always loved these decks. The Pear Audio turntables incorporated ... | |
| Any one using 2 separate amps using a/b switch to same speakers? imahififan, that looks like a great solution | |
| Any one using 2 separate amps using a/b switch to same speakers? IMO the Niles gear is not all that great - lots of noise and potential for damaging your gear. FWIW I wouldn't use one for any valuable gear.You don't mention if you are using a preamp or integrated systems. If you are using a preamp the ideal w... | |
| Meridian 861 preamp It's hard to answer your question. You haven't provided enough information for even a reasonable guess. Is there a Meridian dealer nearby? Meridian gear is/was great but it can be very complex to setup and configure.Also, you might get a better... | |
| "New" Thorens 124 sounds great, but... Classic "sticktion" problem. You have a few choices:1- change your cartridge to a MM or MI/Mc (Moving CROSS) type.2- increase the distance between the cartridge engine and the magnetic under-platter. This can be done by using a thicker mat or pa... | |
| Tube amp Low end Bass question Is anyone doing this with great effect?Yes. I am using two relatively REL T5i subs with single driver speakers from Coherent or Omega in my SET amp rig. Works great IF you:1. carefully match your gear2. spend a little time to properly position... | |
| Can Anyone Identify this Tube Preamp? very likely it was just some homemade thing in someone’s basement... ...not that there is anything wrong with that.Some of my best audio finds have been well-made homebrew and occasional or "small batch" garage manufacturers. You just need to ... |
