| Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn Rega has been absolutely silent on this issue. I have not heard from the distributor, nor Rega UK about it. The dealer insists that I am the only one of his customers who has had any issues with the units. I believe this dealer is a man of integri... | |
| Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn Will, et. al,The original review, which discusses the glitches, is accessed under the Recent Reviews column on the left side, in the Sources section. My Preface, added this past week, is accessed from the review itself by clicking on the red lette... | |
| Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn As one of the first in North America to own privately, then review publicly, both the Apollo and the Saturn, I have added a Preface to my review published on Dagogo.com in January of '07. It is pertinent to this discussion and to any potential pur... | |
| Legacy focus 20 20 speakers Chad, I appreciate your comment, and no hard feelings. I guess I'm much more serious about reviewing than I was a year or two ago. It's quite a bit of work, actually. I have spent hundreds of hours on communications with manufacturers and distribu... | |
| Legacy focus 20 20 speakers You're forgiven; I have Reviewed five speakers so far, kept (purchased one), then after a year sold it and replaced it with one. Does that qualify me as A.D.D.? I do not believe it is wrong, after a resonable time, to upgrade a reference if someth... | |
| Legacy focus 20 20 speakers I built my room for specifically audio presentation. The HD's are three feet from the head wall and two feet from the sides. The room is tuned and does not have brightness and reflectivity problems. If the room you heard them in had a lot of hard ... | |
| Legacy focus 20 20 speakers Chad, I'm guessing you look at the reviews and see "Doug Schroeder's Associated Components" and think I own all that stuff. I wish! I own only a fraction of all the equipment. The review components rotate in, and rotate out. The listing morphs ove... | |
| Legacy focus 20 20 speakers Chad, you're just a bit off...Try three purchases of reviewed components, and one of them was an upgrade (to the MkIII version) on the Pathos Classic One amps I already owned. The two items I purchased were speakers; Von Schweikert VR-4 SR MKII's,... | |
| Legacy focus 20 20 speakers I don't know that I would have liked the sound of that combination of components with the HD's either. The HD's will absolutely show you what's upstream. | |
| Best value speakers available Eminent Technology LFT-8BLegacy Focus HDI reviewed these speakers with differing technologies on Dagogo.com for the purpose of presenting them as excellent values with good build quality and unexpectedly high performance. I continue to use them bo... | |
| How do you move a 650lbs Rack on Hardwood... Get those plastic tracks that refrigerators are moved on. You lay them on the floor and the fridge rolls/slides on them. Like the furniture gliders, only on about 2.5' tracks that are about 4" wide. They interlock too if you need to go further dis... | |
| Anyone send back Magnepan MMG's? It sounds like you over-anticipated what a $500 speaker can do. Did you really think that it would best a $4k speaker when even the 1.6 can't do low end with authority (i.e. below 40Hz)? I have heard dynamic speakers with 6" woofers compete with t... | |
| Sampler CD's for speaker auditions.... Don't laugh...In reviewing, and at audio establishments, I often want to hear this disc, among others: The Best of Bond...James Bond (MGM Music/Capitol Records)-Over the years there has been quite a diverse collection of songs with a wide range of... | |
| The Most Realistic Speaker Technology? Depends on how realistic your ears are. ;) | |
| Legacy focus 20 20 speakers Ghoeper, I'm flattered at your compliment. (To the community: Seriously, I'm not paying this guy to say these things!) :)Frankly, I haven't heard a speaker yet which has 8" bass drivers or less which has, as you so aptly put it, weighed as much as... |
