| Spendor vs. Von Schweikert? It is exactly the nature of the VR4JR sound that gets old and quick. The BBC sound has a slight dip in the upper midrange which relaxes the presentation and a completely uncoloured midband that makes them so listenable over the long haul. Ever won... | |
| Spendor vs. Von Schweikert? Chazro. I owned the SP100's for several years and only sold them when I moved the system to a room that couldn't handle their size. I've also auditioned the VR4JR's extensively. I'm always cautious with these types of things because so much is sys... | |
| I'm New To Vinyl - Which Turntable Should I Buy? Rushton--sorry, I misinterpreted. Certainly block or brick will not vibrate. However, I have always found it difficult to find anchor screws capable of holding significant weight in that type material. Supposing one could find screws to fix the ta... | |
| I'm New To Vinyl - Which Turntable Should I Buy? Slight quibble with Ruston here--while I fully endorse his claim that wall mounting is preferred when you have wood floor over joists, I would NOT recommend hanging the turntable shelf from the masonry. First, it flexes and vibrates when excited b... | |
| I'm New To Vinyl - Which Turntable Should I Buy? There are some really good and relatively inexpensive choices out there. My preference is for the VPI Scout/Scoutmaster but regardless of which table you choose the KEY issue is proper isolation. Any competent table will sound fantastic if you are... | |
| Trying to get back into Lps, I seem to be throwing I agree with the above regarding proper setup of the table and cartridge. There is one way to rule out a faulty setup--spin a few CD's. How does your system sound when you are using the digital playback? If there is a marked difference for the wor... | |

| Are first order crossovers best? I started a thread on this a while back which turned into a sometimes heated and very informative discussion. I'm no computer whiz so I don't know how to locate the thread and provide you with the link. But I bet someone, perhaps yourself Blindjim... | |
| Where do you buy "NEW/Current" LPs? Jameswei--I was at Princeton Records a few weeks ago. Man has that place changed! CD's are overwhelming what was one of the best used LP shops around. Sad to see. However, one thing certainly hasn't changed--the owner is still a total #@$%#@#@. | |
| best high sensitivity full range speak under 15k Ben, I'd love to hear updates as you break in the Fried's. Feel free to contact me off the thread. | |
| Help I've Been Robbed Thanks everyone---I decided to go with a Rotel integrated and cd changer. I think he will be pleased to have his music back. | |
| best high sensitivity full range speak under 15k Ooops, I forgot to add....I'll be hearing the Daedalus DA-1 over the holidays. It would fall into this catagory at 96db efficient and from what I've heard I may be in for a treat. If anyone is still following the thread I will chime in after heari... | |
| best high sensitivity full range speak under 15k Bgpowell. I agree fully with your description of the bass with the Studio 7. Tight, full and fast--better than much of what I've heard out there. I never was able to get a good enough demo to evaluate the midrange and highs. I'd be curious as to y... | |
| Harbeth Monitor 30 vs. Dynaudio Special 25 I second Tomryan. I would add that with the Creek you would be better off with the M30's. | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona I need input on this Onhwy61 has a point. My friend has Proac Response 3's driven by Audio Research tube equipment and he gets VERY good results. I'm not sure if the Cremona's are really a step up or more of a lateral move toward warmth and glow. The Proacs are pretty... |
