| LARGER SWEET SPOT WANTED Von Schweikert ? Barrelchief beat me to it--Ditto the DA-1's which provide excellent off-axis response. Went to a live concert yesterday and was reminded again how live music doesn't present a precise image--not sure why we insist on one with our hi-fi setups. | |
| VPI Scoutmaster - Anti-skate again.. After further inspection I believe you guys are right. I now see the set screws for adjusting the height of the entire assembly (so that you can make the fishing line parallel to the plinth) and the weight (so you can slide it along the shaft to a... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster - Anti-skate again.. Tfkaudio. Interesting. Either we have different anti-skate rigs or one of us is wrong. First, the weight on mine does not slide along the post--it is fixed in position closest to the fulcrum. It is immovable. If it did move the amount of anti-skat... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster - Anti-skate again.. The mechanical anti-skate has a thin piece of fishing line that attaches to arm opposite the one with the weight at the base. This arm has about five spaced indents meant to catch the fishing line so you can adjust the amount of anti-skate force b... | |
| Anyone heard Harbeth HL5s with Nuforce? Hey. Give Audio Research some consideration. I used a 100.2 and SP16 to drive my Harbeth Compact 7's with fabulous results. A little more expensive would be some of the more powerful Naim amps like the NAP 250. I wouldn't go lower than this with t... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster - Anti-skate again.. I went through the process with my Scout/Dyna 20XH and, like you, found that the wire twist was not enough to handle the HFNRR test disc, though I thought the table sounded just fine to my ear. But the neurotic audiophile that sometimes rears his ... | |
| Audio Research 300.2 Comments Please Eclectichap--thanks for sharing your thoughts. You are just the kind of user whose comments I am interested in because I have a 150.2 in the system right now and am wondering what is to be gained by stepping up to the 300.2. Can you discuss in det... | |
| best speakers for vocals? Quad electrostats or Harbeths are the best I've heard for vocal reproduction. | |
| Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They? Thanks, Bill. I'm glad to hear about your planned renovations. Once completed you will have an auditioning space as stellar as your service and passion for music. Best of luck and thanks for all your help. | |
| Opinions On Used Speakers music only $5K $6K I'd suggest the Daedalus DA-1's. They will love the high current delivered by your Krell and make beautiful music. Check out my review posted here on the A'gon as well as comments by many devoted fans. Do a search under Daedalus. | |
| Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They? Just to respond to a few ideas/questions raised...Drubin, I agree that the Harbeth's do not need to be cranked up to sound their best. I did find, however, that when listening to rock music I kept searching for the volume control to click it up a ... | |
| Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They? Fig, I couldn't agree more. I think amidst all the hype it is sometimes difficult to trust your own ears. One of several important things I learned in my two year exhaustive search was that more often than not my own impression of what I was heari... | |
| Have You Heard About Daedalus Music? That's the one. But not far off I-95, correct? | |
| Have You Heard About Daedalus Music? Actually the building with "Daedalus" in big letters on the side is quite visible from the highway. Maybe I was on the road to Columbia (Rt 42?) rather than I-95. | |
| Aimee Mann - Lost in Space I have both the MFSL LP and the CD. First of all, what a great album--one of the best I've heard in many years. It will make you suicidal but......Now the sound. I think here there are big differences between the CD and LP--and not all in favor of... |
