| So many drivers.....better sound or just more sound? Got to jump in on this one. Having heard both the Tekton Double Impacts and the same with SE version and thought they both sounded pretty good, but maybe not quite what was being posted repeatedly on the Forum, I have had the pleasure of hearing ... | |
| Best Tonearm and Cartridge for 4K or under for restored Garrard 301 I have a totally refurbished by myself Lenco 78 w/ many upgrades that Jean Nantais used in his TT and a couple that are beyond. Jean is the one who started the Lenco craze about 15 years ago. My TT now has a couple items from Artisan Fidelity incl... | |
| Linear Tracker ...I was wondering miyostyn,I was able to get a better overall design in the Pete Riggle Woody arm which is so well thought out it has 3 OTF adjustments, uses NO tools to mount, has wonderful pictures and directions for use and optimization of the various parameters... | |
| What do you do with your old LP's that don't meet your quality standards. Man pjr801,I had that same AGI 511 preamp for several years in the late 70's and early 80's. Had a Quad 405 amp that I kept for 28 years, many of which I had the Mod Squad--Steve McCormick, do their thing. That mod was twice what the 405 cost, b... | |
| Linear Tracker ...I was wondering jagjag,I have to disagree with the Debbie Downers that automatically bash the linear trackers. I owned a Maplenoll Ariadne air bearing TT/arm combo with straight line tracking and it is right at the top of any analog setup I've had. I also own a... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies I'd be interested to know how long some of you had your mat(s) on the breaker panel or door. It took a long time to make a 100% positive difference on my best TV in the family room after putting one on the panel door and another one under the mid... | |
| I need advice for power cords mc, you make the task sound so fun, I'm just about tempted, although I do need to add a few more outlets and lights to my previous basement build. I'm glad I have a pretty good brother for guiding me on this one. He always starts conversations w... | |
| I need advice for power cords Just a possibility, I have about 6 different power cords from several manufacturers--WyWires Juice II (3 total), TRL Silver, TRL Copper, and Amadi Phil Harmonic. These all came from a second system or have been recently replaced with much more ex... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations in my budget I would say either the JW Audio cables or Speltz Anticables. I had the Anticables for many years and it took a MUCH more expensive set of cables (over $700) to beat the sound in all ways. I bought at least 5-6 different sets of cables and always... | |
| Low profile CC speaker that is good sounding Good question, mahler123. First of all, the entertainment cabinet is staying as my wife an I both love the look. Secondly, after the Polk speaker broke in over 3 weeks, the sound became much improved. I now have 1 E-Mat+ under the Anthem receiv... | |
| Which is the most important part of a stereo system? I'd go speakers first followed closely by the room itself. Find your taste in the sound of the speakers you like--everyone is not the same where that is concerned. All the other stuff is important, just not as important as those 2 things. Know ... | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? hilde45,You need to check out the ad in US Audio Mart for a MW Sony 999 with the separate power supply and tubes--full mods in other words. You could get this at VERY near your price point or at it. ALL the other good players that have been list... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies Hey Bill, being upbeat and positive is not well known on this website. Hope all is going well with you. I talk about your cables often with potential buyers that are wondering--all good. I've only heard them at your house though. Your system s... | |
| Truly High Efficiency, High Quality, Nearfield Usable, Affordable Speakers, Do They Exist? Maybe, if Bob Smith can get it together for a sustained run at his speakers. They are all that and more.Bob, not Smith--but I know. | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? hilde45,If you are looking for IC recommendations, look on Audiogon for Acoustic BBQ ICs and speaker cables. Bill Dion (grannyring) sells Duelund wires with very good connectors at more than reasonable prices. If you haven't heard of the Schroed... |
