| Stylus cleaner @ chaksterZYX makes no mention of "strickly prohibiting" cleaning their stylus tips with a liquid cleaner on their website! The Ozono does not clean "above the diamond on the cantiliver", and also needs the use of a brush. | |
| Speltz Zero Autoformer with Tenor OTL 75 I live in the twin cities and nobody uses Atmosphere amps on maggies.I heard them once connected to maggies at the dealer, and they sounded poor, IMO. The store owner said they were a poor match.I do not see the advantage of a 2 MHz bandwidth on t... | |
| Best Sounding Classic Rock Cd's Classic rock is best on LPs! | |
| Speltz Zero Autoformer with Tenor OTL 75 OTLs with external transformers, are not really better than tube amps with transformers, into lower impedance speakers. IMO!What is the OTL advantage, over most tube amps, when using most non electrostatic speakers???? NONE! | |
| Cartridge Loading for Pass Labs XP-15 LOL! Chill out, buddy. | |
| Do supertweeters matter when we cant hear past 15,000 hz? The Magnepan ribbon tweeter and Stax SR009 headphones go to 40Khz, and do sound noticeably better than those that do not, IMO.So my answer is yes! Better, lower distortion high frequencies. in the audible range. Frequency response with sine waves,... | |
| Multichannel sounds better than stereo Video does have depth, and so does the included audio. If you want the video depth to match the audio depth, do not mount the screen on the wall. Mount the screen away from the wall on a stand, and the speakers even further from the front wall. St... | |
| Multichannel sounds better than stereo Also 5.1 systems do not have depth.Stereo does, as do movies and TV!Not all audio on movies and TV is good, but in the last few years there is more realistic audio. | |
| Anti skate. I think something's wrong No anti skate, and no arm to junction box cable twist, on my VPI arm.I do use a VTF about 0.1 gm above recommended optimum.Remember anti skate is never completely correct across the LP. Also the stylus vibrates in three dimensions during play, mak... | |
| Multichannel sounds better than stereo I prefer stereo over 5.1.5.1 sound seems fake. There is no BACK in movies and TV. Everything is in front!Weird sound effects abound in 5.1 IMO.What is the reason for the front center channel? Stereo has a center. | |
| Maggie versus Magico The 5 foot long Magnepan ribbon tweeter will "eat for breakfast" any Magico tweeter in terms of sonic purity in the high frequencies! Period! | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Halcro You are living dangerously with your vintage DD turntable!Trash talk my belt drive, and you die! LOL! | |
| Maggie versus Magico Magico Mini II - "Midgets suspended in air" All Magicos are way overpriced IMO.6 foot Maggies - Hard to "dial in" to optimal room position. Once "dialed in" - full size, 3D image, sonic bliss - They are in the room!Most common problems: room wrong... | |
| Quicken the burn in time for new speakers by using a cheaper SS amp? Relax! Check speaker connections for proper relative phase (+ to + and - to- on each cable from amp to speaker), and absolute phase (reversing or not reversing both left and right channel + - connections). Just play music, and listen for sonic st... | |
| turntable speed control @stringreen I agree, the VPI SDS works great.The Phoenix does no AC regeneration, or lower the motor voltage after startup like the SDS. More noise.We sometimes agree. LOL! |
