| Great Cartridge for Graham Phantom Not 100% sure as nothing in the manual but it should handle from 6-12 gms. | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic Exlibris,Yes we are in the same boat. I was curious if there were others. It is nice not be alone. I feel a few others have gone this way as well. Horns are very complex to understand and the horn world has so many options. Also how to integrate b... | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic Exlibris,I heard the Cessaro Betas in Germany in a home system. They were slightly modified from standard using a Field Coil Midrange and TAD drivers for tweeter & super tweeter. Also folded horn TAD woofers. I think 4 drivers for the bass. Th... | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic Shadorne,Based on what you are saying (I am new to understanding horns) a long throw horn - front loaded - will be longer in length rather than wider? In the case of a very long Bass Horn that is front loaded (rather than a folded bass horn - I as... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso VS ARC Reference 3 Duonri,Congratulations on your purchase.Re: the Power Cords & physicsI had a highly esteemed material science professor who was a big advocate of the use of interconnects & power cords. His specialty was electronics and cable use in aviati... | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic I would also be wary of horns with excessively high compression ratio - extreme high efficiency - as you will get harmonic distortion in the treble at higher SPLs. I would also avoid long throws (narrow dispersion) as this will make room/placemen... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso VS ARC Reference 3 Rwwear,I would be the first to agree with you. If you can't hear it, then don't spend the money. But... I find the change in sound w. power cords to be more profound than some CDP or interconnect changes. But if your system is revealing you will h... | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic Shadorne,Quite a few horn lovers I know also mentioned ATC. I want to give them a listen as well. Kana813,I read the review a short while ago. The reviewer mimics what I heard. That is why I posted the thread. I am curious how many others have exp... | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic Jsadurni,You are saying exactly what I experienced. What kind of speakers are you using? Do you feel the compression drivers are superior to the full range drivers as you explained above? I would love some more details. | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic I am curious what systems people had before and after a switch to horns. Or maybe in the reverse direction & why. Are you "happier" in the long run. I know it involves a major equipment change. Simplification in one way depending on direction.... | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic Dcstep,Have you listened to horns? I think you need to understand some of the physics related to horns to understand that there is a limitation to what a dynamic speaker can do compared to a horn. The mass of the driver is so much smaller than any... | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic Shadorne,You are right about the sweet spot being incredibly narrow. Within the sweet spot it is perfect but outside almost monoaural in sound. | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic I want greater low level resolution and reduced distortion. I think the increased speed of horns is nice, but the ability to resolve complex classical & play at loud volumes with little if any distortion or strain is unparraleled. Especially a... | |
| TW Raven Acustic AC Owners Halcro,You sound like a broken record. Chill out on this already. How many times do we have to read it. | |
| TW Raven Acustic AC Owners Halcro,Can you post your comments on any of the threads re: Suspensions & turntable Platforms etc. You have hijacked a few threads on a few forums in this direction. It would be a more appropriate location for your comments. I think the tone h... |
