Mono VS Stereo
Hi Nocaster, if you have vinyl, you really owe it to yourself to get a mono cartridge. You will totally be surprised by how different it is if you have mono recordings. Look at Art Dudley's column on his musings and joys of mono. To hear a mono re... 
Well Tempered Amadeus
Hi Monty, glad you're enjoying...I would say it's not really continuing the tradition, it's far surpassed it. I'm not a golfer, so I'm not inclined to say four...I'm more like BON APPETIT! 
Serious Addiction to Gear
Saw your thread, we've been talking about such things. We've concluded, when it's no longer about the music it's a very sad thing. Hope you can talk some sense into your friend. 
Well-Tempered Golf Ball?
HI, Lewm, I totally agree. After having a reference myself, the Amadeus is much much easier to set up, I even did it myself. I haven't done that since the old AR/Premier MMT days, and I've had lots of tables in between.I like to think Firebaugh th... 
Size matters Smaller that is
Sorry, don't agree with either of you. Small speakers can be incredible in certain aspects, don't get me wrong. Case in point being the newer Kudos C-10's, lovely in just so so many ways, and I could live with them if I had to, yet, they still hav... 
Racquetball isolation platform perfection
Timtim, I am glad you like the results you achieved, especially for the dollars invested. Just remember, since you've touted the Gingko results, raquetballs are not Gingko balls. Sometimes we diy-ers get pretty close, sometimes not. If you ever ge... 
Well-Tempered Golf Ball?
Yes, socoaste, the fluid viscosity should be what Firebaugh recommends--you wouldn't want to float your ball in just anything, now would you?Could be a nice look, especially if you were Arnold Palmer, otherwise way too hard, I'm afraid. I'd go bac... 
Well-Tempered Golf Ball?
It's quite easy, Lewm, if you can understand it all. The arm isn't the least finicky, and in some ways is quite a departure from the old WT. Firebaugh has made it easier for you, not harder--that's the beauty of it, and it sounds better. check her... 
Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ???
No soundstaging problems here. If you're not getting that lovely reboot melody than something is most definitely off, might be time for a new one.We have taken a voltmeter and brought the numbers to their correct readings, and that helped with mis...

Speaker Technology over the last 10 years
Ah, you initially said woofer, mrtennis, not bass panel, so I assumed cone. They'd still have to come a long way to impress me. It also seemed the bigger they got in the old days the less I liked them.

Oops, I misread, sorry. so nothing on the Kings? 
Speaker Technology over the last 10 years
Thanks, mrtennis. I have no local dealer any longer, so we'll see. However, if you're all about the planar, then why would you be mentioning a hybrid? Wouldn't that be a no-no for you? From my recollections, granted, years ago, they were never suc... 
Iso Clean Fuses
I love em.... a definite improvement, and not much money. I got mine from VHAudio, from Chris, great service.and yes, they are most definitely directional. 
Speaker Technology over the last 10 years
Hi mrtennis, could you give your thoughts on planars for me? I haven't heard any since the 80's, back then it was maggies, acoustats, early martin logans, quads, apogees. Of those, the acoustats were my favs. I never have liked the maggies or the ...
