| Transporting Thorens TD 124 Yes, that would be the safest way to travel with the unit and avoid damage to the spindle bearing. Just make sure that you use the proper size screwdriver so as to avoid stripping the screw heads. | |
| any thoughts on apogee centaur speakers? I have owned a few pair of Apogees over the years, most recently the last hybrid ribbon model Cepheus 6. I agree that Apogees are special speakers, especially the larger planar models. Your Centaurs are similar to the Cepheus, a little less effici... | |
| installing the SME V tonearm in the Technics SP10 The SL-1000 (SP-10 mounted in the "obsidian" plinth) was designed for the Technics professional tonearms, with mounting distances of 235mm. I have mounted shorter arms on these decks, with varying degrees of success. Frankly, it just looks odd to ... | |
| DAC Recommendation around 2.5K Everyone has their favorite to recommend, including me.I have tried several high end DACs, and they are all good. I keep coming back to the Antelope Audio Zodiac Gold for it's great I/O and the fact that the volume attenuator is on the analog side... | |
| Best Speakers for 10' x 12' room? Mksr - I just noticed a pair of Wilson Duette speakers w/ stands listed for sale on A'gon this morning. Looks like they are in the L.A. area. | |

Based on my experience, I think that Ralph (Atmasphere) is spot on with his comments in the last paragraph of his response.Johnmc67 - if you are looking for a substantive change or improvement in your system's sound (timbre, depth and spatial resp... | |
| Best Speakers for 10' x 12' room? Mksr - No, I have only heard Magico and Wilson "big" speakers, so I am not in a position to help you with your selection.If this is your short list, then treat your room as best you can and try them both, if possible, to see which one sounds best ... | |
| Best Speakers for 10' x 12' room? Gfcf424892, You are correct; front-ported monitors are generally easier to use in in small rooms. Rear ported speakers almost (but not always) need placement well away from the wall behind in order to sound best. Exceptions include the Audio Note ... | |
| Best Speakers for 10' x 12' room? Mksr - well since you asked...1- First I would advise you get a copy of Jim Smith's Book "Get Better Sound" and read it from cover to cover.2- Test your room with analysis software. You will need a laptop, software program and a calibration microp... | |
| Best Speakers for 10' x 12' room? I have used a 10x12 room as my main analog listening room for years. My primary recommendation - treat the room first!It's a simple fact - a room of this size os going to challenge you for optimal audio reproduction. You can minimize (but not elim... | |

| Best of Both Worlds, Hybrid Amps . I have owned a couple of Moscode 300s over the years, and were sorry both times after I sold them. As stock units they were very good amps and they are reasonably pricedon the used market, if not the ultimate in build quality. George Kaye upgrades... | |
| Yamamoto A-08S vs Decware amps Apples and oranges.Are you asking the members of this forum to compare the vendors products (eg. build quality), or are you asking for an opinion on the sound differences between the 45 triode (Yammy) or EL84/SV83/6L6 (Decware)tube types? | |
| Speakers that do pianos really well IMO, no speaker can actually reproduce the tonal range and timbre of an acoustic piano realistically, but some I have heard have come closer than most.To my ears, the old Apogee Full Range Planar was the best at reproducing piano, other EL/planar ... |
