| Bad experience with ZYX AIRY 3 Bada-Bing!!!Thanks for re-iterating that point, Doug. I've read all the posts in this thread, yet somehow Thom's wise advice didn't hit home with me. The effective mass of my Scheu Tacco is 14 grams, so I will try 4 grams of blue-tac later this we... | |
| Turntable setup Hi Gurevise,I also have the Scheu Premier (mkII) w/ 80mm platter and the Scheu Tacco tonearm. Being new to vinyl last year, I bought a a myriad of very useful setup tools starting with:1. HiFi News Analogue Test LP($45), which sort of a standard f... | |
| Tube amp recommendation for $1000 Hi Royy,I'm a young'ins, but it would probably help a lot if you could tell everyone what type of speakers the amp will be driving. Impedence curve determines amp performance with tubes much more readily than it does with SS.Also, what type of pre... | |
| Bad experience with ZYX AIRY 3 Hi Pechtm,I've also got the Fuji FS (w/o silver base) and have been thinking about seriously upgrading. Like you, I listen to mostly jazz and rock, although classical is recently on the rise in my collection.I think the Fuji is an absolutely fanta... | |
| PX-25 Tubes. Too exotic?? Hi Chris,I've also got Welborne Lab DRD 300B monoblocks driving Cain & Cain I-Ben speakers w/ a pair of C&C Bailey subs. The DRD's are one of the most neutral and transparent amps I have ever heard. They are almost "colorless", in that the... | |
| single driver with bass...???? Howdy Pete,I finally let go of your Twins and AR Complete a few motnhs back. They got relagated to 3rd system status in the bedroom that never really got used.Did you get the FT-1600? Your A'gon system still shows the MMG's. The specs on that spea... | |
| PX-25 Tubes. Too exotic?? KR Audio, ala Richard Kron, was the first manufacturer to start making the 1920-1965 era PX-25's again. Sophia Electric and Tianjin/TJ (of TJ Mesh Plate 300B 7 45 fame) introduced their own versions in the last couple of years.The KR & Sophia'... | |
| single driver with bass...???? Try the Hammer Dynamics Super-12 speaker kit. They feature custom 12" Emminence single-drivers with a supertweeter crossed in above 10kHz. The kit includes all the crossover parts needed, too - everything except the easily built cabinet.I own a pa... | |

| any Sopranophiles here? Just fially got HBO when I switched over to digital cable in Nov/Dec last year. Prior to that, I'd only seen a couple of scattered episodes at friends houses which left me mildly impressed.Now that I have been able to follow the arc of the storyli... | |
| Request to hear Zu speakers Well, I'd love to toss my hat in for a Los Angeles/Southern California listening session if someone would be generous enough to offer.I heard the Druids at the VTV Show a few months ago, but the room colorations were making it close to impossible ... | |
| Small quality HiFi subs reaching 22Hz What is your idea of "small"?There are only a few of ways to recreate real low frequencies - high cabinet volume, high cone excursion, and gobbs of power.Accurate "Low 20's" is going to to take a lot of all three. I would be very, very, leery of a... | |
| Analog One MkII vs MKIII? Same here, I traded several emails with him last year and he was always extremely prompt in replying. |
