| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? Depends on the year, Mapman. Some of the later models were sold with electronics inside. I'm hauling one back from the mid-West in a few weeks. No electronics, just a moderately sized horn in the cabinet.I think hi-eff drivers can give the best of... | |
| What defines a good tonearm I used to bad mouth unipivots. dealer disclaimer | |
| Teflon washers for cart, were can I get these? I replace one washer at a time. That way the cart doesn't move and no need to re-align, just check VTF. I use an allen wrench and go to "two finger" tight without strain. I want my cartridge to be rigidly mounted so that it becomes a single instru... | |
| Teflon washers for cart, were can I get these? Try McMaster-Carr. FWIW, I've always preferred the sound with metal washers. | |
| Number of yrs. to reach the finished line? I'm done. I'm very happy with the sound I get. Maybe a real RCM at some point but nothing more in the system. | |
| Avantgarde Duo set up. :-) Stop whining and listen to HOrnguys! :-) I use wooden Edgarhorns that are much heavier. The ability to locate each driver precisely is a big advantage, IMO. | |
| Telephones for Audiophiles? The carrier you choose for service has a great deal to do with call quality. I hate smart phones.Dan"Bat-wing" Mobility | |
| why does NBC sound so bad? are networks different I don't pay extra for locals on d*. I spent a good deal of time with antennas long before there were more than two or three HD channels and really never could say that the off air reception was any better. YMMV depending where you live. There is a... | |
| why does NBC sound so bad? are networks different Can you not get your locals from D*? I put away the antenna several years ago when our locals where picked up on the dish. In my area it was FOX that always seemed to be on the back side of the transmission. Content is a different story altogether... | |

| Best Rock Album in 2011 Man In Motion arrived. I've only been able to get to the DVD, but really good stuff. I'll never forget a Gov't Mule concert I attend on Halloween a few years back. The first set was all of their stuff as expected. The second set, they came out and... | |
| Tri-Planar with no anti-skate? Jonathan, thank you. That certainly makes more sense. | |
| vga out hd set top box for loewe aconda Doesn't it have RGB component inputs? I ran mine that way from a satellite receiver. However, the tube is not physically capable of rendering the full 1080, IIRC. | |
| Tri-Planar with no anti-skate? Larry, that's what we've been discussing. Some of us ARE removing the AS mechanism completely from our Triplanars. Not much surgery really. Just a single cir-clip and set screw holding the thread. | |
| Tri-Planar with no anti-skate? Pradeep! Good to hear from you!. Alas, that Orpheus L was truly hard to beat. I think I put two small o-rings in the hardware kit for you. That is what I'm using for AS weight now after recommendations from Joel and a few other owners. This was ab... |
