This kind of info only applies to a few of us nuts....and is probably over the head of most average users. I agree, but the longer a person remains a member here; they become nuts too. It's really called AudioGon(e) - the "e" is silent. Even Wi...

The minimum listening distance for 802D2 or 802D3 would be 9' 10". That is where all the drivers align. You can listen further away if wished (and some definitely do,) but considerably closer will result in the drivers not aligning to their full p...

Cleaning records. How often really?
Atmasphere - FWIW I also don’t experience a lot in the way of surface noise. The phono equalizer (preamp) can exacerbate surface noise if the preamp is unstable.Vinyl would be no fun with noise. But noise is also relative. One thing for sure, thos...
