| the dreaded breaking of tonearm wire...now what? If you're lucky you can reuse the heat shrink, otherwise get a new piece and slide it up the wire out of the way until you've got things re-soldered.Try to heat up the clip first since it has more mass than the wire.You'll probably want to clip an... | |
| Any one into IQ Nomzamo is pretty good, but The Wake is better. There really isn't much more from them in the early years. Marillion offers much more. I'm still trying to get me hands on Ozric Tentacles. I've only found it on ebay in the UK. It usually commands $... | |
| A better record cleaning brush than the vpi brush I use one of the VPI brushes when I do an initial cleaning with an enzyme solution. Works pretty good for that. If you're trying to get deeper in the grooves perhaps you might want to try an Audioquest carbon fiber brush. I like this brush for fin... | |
| 12 inch tonearms Gee, I was hoping someone would be so kind as to be the guinea pig for a 12" DaVinci. ;) | |
| Please help with speaker choices Ops, meant to 2.5' isn't bad. | |
| Please help with speaker choices 2.5 feet is bad. You may benefit in LF do to room gain. But you might think twice about any rear-ported speakers. Your speakers will be about 7 feet apart, which also isn't bad for the 10' distance. Once you have them setup you may talk the wife i... | |
| Please help with speaker choices Pete, I prefer alcohol. ;) | |
| Please help with speaker choices Pete,You and the real boss in your life would be welcome to visit me and my boss in N.H. I've got 4 different sets of speakers here we can sample and there's probably some other choices around as well. Just a couple of miles up the road from Deaco... | |
| what would you get for 1000$ ? What do you have for a phono stage? | |
| Please help with speaker choices Pete,You may want to add Aerial 7B's to your list. Excellent speakers, priced right on the used market. | |
| Please help with speaker choices I don't think it's a problem since they don't seem to ever go below 4 ohms. How loud to you want to play and how big is the room?Maybe you can schlep your Lectron down to a dealer and find out first hand? | |
| Please help with speaker choices That sounds about right, Pete. The 10t's are about 86. The point is that there is no way to tell from this number alone what happens to the load with respect to frequency. I think the 803's are good to about 30Hz or so, not sure. Anyway, I've hear... | |
| Please help with speaker choices That should probably say "low impedance". What happens on some speakers is that the impedance the amp sees falls way off when trying to reproduce LF signals. So the amp is forced to try and keep up by supplying more current. If it goes too far the... | |
| Please help with speaker choices Pete, the real time with DIY speakers is in the aesthetics. It just depends on how far one wants to go. There are many open baffle speaker plans that could be built in a few days that sound wonderful. They may look like something you picked up out... | |
| Please help with speaker choices Hi Peter,As Nick explained to me, the Lectron was designed for horns by a horn-lover. I've recently hooked mine up to some speakers I've just build using Edgarhorn DIY Titan's. Depending on how much you're willing to take on, these can be done in ... |
