| How close to the real thing? "Also, have you used a sound meter at a given distance to see if you're playing the recording at a similar volume? If you haven't you'd be shocked at how loud a live piano is." IrvRobinson"Agreed - very few home audio speakers can do a grand pian... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Dear Halcro, First, an apology: I thought I had seen the whole thread, pictures included. You and Ecir38 were right in sending me back to the listing: I've seen your entire posting again, now with all the pictures, and have much better information... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Good Morning, Halcro I know we're well launched into the Holiday season, so I don't expect an immediate response to my query from Nov 29. When you have time, I am most interested to learn further about the mechanics of your setup and the [metallur... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Hello again, Halcro After looking through your thread, reading your kind forum response and looking at your system photos I have a few more questions, please. 1) is there a "materials" reason to prefer cast bronze over aluminum, steel or brass? 2)... | |

| What are the Best FM tuners? The Marantz 10B tuner is my personal favorite. While there have been numerous design innovations since the 1960s --the Schotz front end, for example-- Dick Sequerra's design for Saul Marantz has done something that I've not heard another tuner do.... | |
| Most Peaceful Music you've Heard or Own To everyone who e-sponded: thank you. I've learned about quite a bit of new music to explore, and look forward to that pleasure.Cheers,David | |
| Magico V2? I am in error: it was the Magico *M6* I heard, not the M5. | |
| Magico V2? It was not a reasonable or genuine 'audition:' when I heard the M5 it was with a music server unfamiliar to me. Nonetheless, they did not sound as sweet, in a musical way, as the V2. The M5 may be able to handle greater volume of music, namely ope... | |
| Magico V2? Recently I heard Magico V2s in a dealer listening room with Spectral electronics and MIT cabling.In 19 years I have heard engaging systems that verge upon Musical only three times. The other commercial experience included componentry unaffordable ... | |
