Chris,Another intelligent and insightful post. The path in the carpet to my subs is worn from countless trips to and from for adjustment or simply turning them on or off depending on the media. From recording to recording I find that the subs eith...

Hi Raul,I trust that you and many others have heard the benefit of eliminating the low frequency signal to the main speakers. The YG Acoustics speakers that my friend has have separate powered woofer sections and also he uses JL Audio Gotham subs....

Hi Eric,I have the Bright Star Audio "Big Rock for TNT" sandbox/air bladder combo. After some experimentation, I chose not to use the air bladder in my rig. My house is build on concrete slab and I have the VPI/Firestone air bladders in the TNT co...

Raul,Before reading your post in the link you supplied, I had already heard and described the "unexpected to me" influences that the dual-REL subs have on my system’s sound, perhaps using somewhat different and less precise descriptives than you d...

Must speakers have certain volume to sound convincing ?
The OP poses a very good question that simply defines my struggle over 20 years of owning Thiel CS5i loudspeakers. Until very recently, I was increasingly compelled to listen at very high volumes to achieve an elusive "volume of auditory satisfact...

Fellow ET Two lovers,What has happened to us? Nothing new to say about this fantastic tonearm? I continue to hear new and amazing sonic revelations with every tweak or, most recently, improvements in my system that show I have not yet heard the fu...

Hi tequila,I am using one Medo 910 pump (very loud) and built a silencer box similar to what you describe, except that I used two computer fans ported to/from the outside of the box to cool the pump chamber and built foam labyrinths on either end ... 
Cartridge for Empire 698 turntable
Hurricane,I feel certain that you will be impressed with the 4000D on your 698. Good luck with your search for one. It is worth it.Czarivey - I have owned a 698 (with an Empire 4000DIII mounted) for years, so I am quite aware that is has a removab... 
Cartridge for Empire 698 turntable
I second your doubts, Dopogue. Plus, the Ortofon 2M Red only mounts from the top so it will not work with the 698 headshell anyway as it only accepts cartridges that mount from the bottom.Sharpshooters should get the facts straight before pulling ...
