Subwoofers and electrostatic speakers
@docknow  So, I got the Martin Logan Perfect Bass Kit (PBK), which is room EQ software that can either be automated or manually set up using a microphone measuring from 5 different points in the room.   Firstly, l have really been appreciating th... 
Turntables: 2 Tonearms. What do you Have or Know About?
The Dohmann Helix One has two tonearm capability.  I just like to listen to two different stereo LOMC cartridges to compare SQ:        
Anyone compare the Döhmann Helix Two mk2 vs CSPort TAT1M2?
So, I emailed different contact points this past weekend: I inquired about maintenance for the Dohmann turntable. This time I picked a dealer from the Dohmann website, and emailed Dohmann Audio themselves despite the fact that their website says t... 
The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation"
@wizzzard  I think most of us on the forum just want to enjoy listening to music.  Any recommendations to help us along our musical journey are always welcome.  I hope you are able to enjoy listening to music as well.  There’s no need to get over... 
Anyone compare the Döhmann Helix Two mk2 vs CSPort TAT1M2?
I just reviewed my  emails that I sent, and neither were sent to Dohmann Audio.  They were sent to different distributors or dealers whose email address was listed as a contact point.  I am going to email Dohmann Audio next, and hopefully I get a ... 
Anyone compare the Döhmann Helix Two mk2 vs CSPort TAT1M2?
I have not compared either, but I have a Dohmann Helix 1 Mk2. From reading in WBF about the CS Port TAT1, it looks like there is much more adjusting needed with the CS Port. Comparatively speaking, the Dohmann is more plug and play.  I am very ple... 
A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum
@mijostyn  Sorry to hear about your cartridge.  I had a very similar incident with a nearly new Rega MC cartridge a few years ago:  the left channel just went blank.  What have you used to clean the stylus?    
Subwoofers and electrostatic speakers
@docknow  Yes, I read that the Martin Logan PBK works with up to four subwoofers; however, it analyzes each one independently.  I would think a more effective way would be to measure all the subwoofers together, since there may be interference be... 
Subwoofers and electrostatic speakers
@delm @docknow @m-db Yes, the Martin Logan version of MSO is the PBK. The problem is that with current placement the subwoofers sound fantastic, without all the complicated DEQ, PBK, HPF, etc. Before the purchase, I was told that the subwoofers ... 
Subwoofers and electrostatic speakers
@erik_squires Yes, I think every system could benefit, at least in part, to the addition of subwoofers. @kota1 I have to stick with my pre-amplifier, which is Ypsilon. The delicacy, detail, and musicality of this pre-amplifier is as good as it... 
Turntable Isolation Journey
@no_regrets Yes, I placed the pads under the feet of the turntable, and noticed a significant audible change, but this is largely because I had a Rega P8, which is very sensitive to the surface that it’s sitting on. Try both, and see what you no... 
Turntable Isolation Journey
@no_regrets  Yes, the Vibrasystems EVA-BFR was very effective in isolating and grounding my last turntable.  They are specifically designed to reduce minor vibrations.  I also tried springs, but I found that they induced a some what “tinny” quali... 
Turntable Isolation Journey
@mulveling  Thanks for sharing your experience.  I had quite a journey in trialing various isolation devices as well on my turntable,and found that they all imparted come sort of color to the music.  The only isolation device that I've found to b... 
Turntable weight affects speed
If the weight is too much, try a clamp, like the SOTA clamp.  It really improves sound quality, particularly clarity.   
Best musician in the world?
Talk about resurrecting an old thread!  23 years! That must be a record! While Galbraith is/was excellent, I would currently vote for Jordi Savall: performing and conducting music from all over the world composed over a period of thousands of yea...
