OK, here goes:Dirac Research's RCS is a software application that runs on a mac or PC and includes tools for room analysis and room correction based one or more analyses. The software is available in two versions, 2-channel and multi-channel (up t... 
How far from the back wall are your speakers?
The proper distance from the front of the speaker cabinet to the wall behind the speaker is entirely dependent on the particular speaker and it's interaction to your particular room.Unless your speakers are specifically designed to be placed right... 
Phono stage good for classical and jazz?
Many people said the Rega tonearm matches well with the denon 103rI have found this to be not true, at least to my ears. I suspect that the DL-103x gets used in these situations mainly because they are one of the, if not the, least expensive MC ca... 
Phono stage good for classical and jazz?
Jackyjack,No, you really can't overcome a fundamental compliance mismatch between cartridge and tonearm. Adding mass will simply add mass where neither the tonearm or cartridge designer wanted it, and still won't overcome the basic mismatch proble... 
Acoustic Room Treatment – any simple solutions?
Treating the room is always a good idea. But sometimes it is not an option ("No dear, of course I won't be putting that there!")Another solution is to utilize room correction, either software or appliance based. My experiences with products from D... 
best recorded 78rpm to look for, also cartridge...
The Pickering D750 is a stylus, not a cartridge, that is designed for stereo playback. You will have much better sound reproduction if you use a mono cartridge specifically designed for playback of 78 records. In fact, using a stereo cartridge (st...

In order so that we can provide you with a useful answer, please describe the rest of your system: what TT/tonearm/cartridge, amp/preamp, speakers and your room? 
Smooth and dark cables?
Not wanting to start a flame war, but IMO simply cables simply won't make that much of a difference.If you really want correct for room deficiencies based on actual data and not by guessing, a good room correction product (hardware or software) wi...

The Tannoy DC10a are not being made in China according to Tannoy and a are trying to correct the 6 Moons Audio Review.If they are not made in China, then where are they now manufactured? I was in Scotland recently and drove by the old Tannoy site ... 
Opinion on Tannoy Loudspeakers......
I answered you on your first question on this topic, from yesterday.1st Audiogon aphorism: "Be patient, Grasshopper. Especially the first weekend following a large audio show." 
The Tannoy Speaker Line - worth a serious look ?
Tannoy has made many different models of speakers over the years, and it's hard to lump them all together. The different versions of their dual concentric driver have similar, if not identical, sound and imaging characteristics.I have owned three ... 
Best Speaker for classical music
Dkarmeli,Personally, I usually try to avoid commenting on audio components I have never heard, let alone (probably) never heard of. But I understand your hesitation - I had similar doubts and questions for the designer, Mikael Richel, when I first... 
Best Speaker for classical music
If you are open to something completely different, I suggest that you check out the EARO Eight speakers. These are an active speaker, manufactured in Sweden. I own, have owned and have had the opportunity to hear a number of (what I consider to be...
