The Palladian-A step beyond
Thuchan My definition of good turntable design, includes "isolation", that has been built into its design by its maker, allowing it to be placed on multiple locations. The Döhmann’s Helix table you reference seems to follow this philosophy. A coll... 
$500 USB cable
Jim Aud of Purist Audio DesignWhen thinking about a digital signal over USB, it can seem natural to think of it as a straightforward expression of 1's and 0's. However, it is more nuanced than that. Below a certain voltage, the signal says: "this...

Warm Sounding Preamp Suggestions
DastroWhat a difference that box made. It’s a great design, and was far ahead of its time allowing for full range, and in rooms that do not support it. You are basically turning the 801 matrix’ massive woofer box into an EQ’ed subwoofer with one ... 
Stand Height for B&W 801 S2?
Dastroabout 8 inches, plus the variable spike height. If interested, see pic 26 on my virtual system for how I had them set up. Unfortunately we can’t link to virtual system pics on the forums. Good Luck with them.

Wilson Audio Haters
Many Full Range capable speakers are set up in rooms that do not support 20 hz. Meaning...... they can’t hit the notes or the notes are way too low in DB for the room. This could be for a number of reasons; the room space itself, and/or the constr...

Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57?
Clio09The subs are Dynaudio Acoustics BM12s . In the search to replace the previous sub they were a kind of dark horse for me. Not really known in the consumer area in North America, but well known and used in the recordings studios. For serious l... 
Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57?
Hi Clio09 - the bass impedance hump at 100 hz can be managed by modified placement in the room, especially when it is a fairly large room. See pic 41 on my virtual system. It is roughly 20 x 24 with stairs going up at the back end. I could neve... 
Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57?
Clio09In my setup I use a Luxman M-02 on the bottom and either the M-60s or RM-10 on the top. Instead of modding the Luxman to house the crossover I bought a used Beveridge RM-3 (designed by Roger) and made my own low pass and high pass cards (Rog...
