| old thorens 150 Your table is worth fixing up for a lot of reasons.1. A belt is only about $10.2. That table is a legend because it sounded better than most gave it credit and in fact sounds better than a new Rega. (except the Rega arm is good.)3. Throw a matt an... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Mdhoover, This hobby is still lots of fun. | |
| Heard the $325000 Acapella's Sphaeron excaliburs? To the teacher's post above me. The problem with giving money to help people is that it doesn't help them. It makes them more dependant. If you want to help people, spend money on stuff from companies that will need to hire workers to supply you t... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx I need to step in again. I had a system that in the room it was placed sounded as good as an instrument in playing in the same room. Or it did over half the time as long as it was a good recording. The trade offs are worth it though because I have... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx In reference to Allison and his woofer loading. Unity Audio made the PARM system where the subwoofers had Marble slabs at a specific distance for tuning, then you had to locate it a certain distance from a solid object in the room creating the sec... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx Anechoic chambers while useful for finding problems are not useful in telling sound quality because 40% of the sound you hear is the sound reflected to you from the off axes signals. Because of this, the speaker that reflects with the most natural... | |
| marantz 9600 Hello again, You might have a good dealer close to you. What city are you near and what is your budget? | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx I didn't have time to read all the posts but I offer this to you. I have been selling and installing high end for 25 years and I was a Wilson dealer once. I have noticed that when people are exposed to true magic they all agree on what sounds incr... | |
| Heard the $325000 Acapella's Sphaeron excaliburs? I don't understand why people like horns. Is their memory of the good old days distorted? Horns are good for loud and cheap. I don't even understand the argument that the best amps were single ended but the only thing they will drive is horns. Tha... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? First place goes to Karmas with a close second to Intuitive Design Denali. | |
| Request for insight/opinion Hello again. The Arcam is VERY good. | |
| MMF-5: Cartridge upgrade or new table Hello again. i agree with the others and they were more forcefull about not changing the arm which I only hinted at. Grado does have a good sound and is easy going on the arm. I still like the Benz for the quiet background it has. I would thing a ... | |
| Anyone Compared the KRELL 650MC to Pass XA200s? The Krell would be a below average match with Avalon Osiris. Avalon's are ruthless with detail and will show off the hard sound the Krell has. Look at the Pass or better yet some big tubes like VTL 750's or the like. (LAMM) In solid state amps loo... | |
| Anyone Compared the KRELL 650MC to Pass XA200s? Please help us with the speaker match so we know more about your system. Without that info I can say that you should have speakers that are sweet and rich with those amps as they are bright and then. The Krell is the brightest of both of them and ... | |
