| Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k) 3.7is are almost $7K now new, and take 10 weeks to get, FYI. 1.7is are $2800. I agree Revel F206 with a REL T/7x is hard to beat for under $5K. | |
| Why exotic stylus not used on MM? OP’s definition of exotic is indefensible. By any rational definition, Replikant, Gyger, SAS, and Microline, Micro Ridge and Shibata all quality as exotic. Not exotic…all variations of conical and elliptical. Plenty of exotic styli have been made... | |
| Underpowered? The upgrade to MA352 will provide a modest improvement in SQ based on power, but dialing up the low bass EQ is a targeted solution for the better damped woofer alignment in the 702 Sigs vs. your old under damped 683s. Adding a REL sub instead of t... | |
| Budget integrated amp needed Buy a GT102 from Dan Joffe at Akitika. You can get one for about your budget with optimization for either 4 or 8 Ohms. I can’t think of a good reason to not get the Z4 for versatility. This is an easy kit to build if you have some spare time. The ... | |
| Anyone Seen a Feb 2022 Stereophile Issue?? Great feature on Keb Mo too. And another R2D4. As for its late arrival, how’s that De Jong guy at USPS working for you? Happy reading! | |
| Is this amount of record/tonearm bobbing "normal" Try doing the video with a tripod supporting the phone. Your handheld video even braced to the table is too unstable to accurately judge the platter wobbling or not. To me this looks pretty normal but you’ve got some pretty great items there and I... | |
| Who uses ADS Speakers From 1974 into the 2000’s I worked for Tweeter, which was Boston’s main a/d/s/ dealer. Took dealer training and factory tours with Dr. Goderhard Guenther, Mike Kelly, Dave Marshall. I owned many models, but not the really big ones like the L2030 s... | |

| Suggestion between benchmark Ahb2, Bob carver crimson 275 and rogue atlas magnum 2 amos I’d be reluctant to send my preamp output through a powered subwoofer crossover in order to high pass the satellites. If the Metas can’t deliver the SPLs you want then you need speakers that can. But I suspect that you have already decided they me... | |
| Soldering Help Soldering pipe fittings is a very different technique from electronic circuitry. the main difference being the heat tolerance of copper pipe vs. the lack of same for electronic parts. I have used 33W and 40W pencil irons with narrow tips, and sma... | |
| Soldering Help I learned to solder by building Dynakits. My first one was constructed with a Radio Shack 25w pencil iron, a Swiss Army knife and a pair of needle nose pliers. When done, it worked! Today you can build an Akitika GT-102 and have a nice medium pow... | |
| Beautiful Music That Reduce You To Tears Despite my self-given username I am a sentimental softy where music is concerned. Some of my trigger songs or compositions: Schubert String Quintet in C Chopin Prelude in Gm Mozart Clarinet Quintet K581 I’ve Got A Mind To Give Up Living; Paul ... | |
| Why recordings made before 1965 sound better. Hypoman nailed it. I once shared a house with an amateur recordist who recorded a local orchestra for his own personal library of master tapes. He used a Nakamichi Tri-mic setup with CP1 omni capsules, a Revox A77 and a DBX compander. Those tapes ... | |
| How to tame a bright system? I would advise you to take painter24’s advice and contact GR Research about their upgrade kit for the 606S2. Then I’d focus on speaker placement, make sure you have properly damped stands, and treat the room for early reflections, if that applies... | |
| The response for REL regarding subwoofers Seems to me the answer is simply to use an amp for the Khorns that has an input level control to attenuate its gain to the desired level to match the gain characteristics of your sub. Then use a preamp with sufficient output voltage to drive the s... |
