| "New" model VPI? It does have isolation in 2 forms, VPI's special isolating feet and a suspended sub chassis. | |

| "New" model VPI? I know Harry and Matt well and was around as the new table was being developed. And I recall Harry saying the new parts were designed to fit the HW-19 base. But having seen what's new that means basically just the base and the motor and pulley. | |
| "New" model VPI? I believe, but not sure, it has a detachable headshell but not a conventional bayonet style. I guess we'll find out for sure at the Capital Audio Show. I do believe they will have a version of the arm with a conventional bayonet mount. I was told ... | |
| "New" model VPI? P.S. It will be available without an arm also. | |
| "New" model VPI? I forgot to add, it's a gimble tone arm not a unipivot. | |
| "New" model VPI? Built like the proverbial brick house. Top plate and removeable arm board are about 1/4" aluminum. The sub chassis is even thicker aluminum. The table has VPI anti vibration feet and the sub chassis is isolated but stiffly. The arm is all new wit... | |
| Coda 11, Schiit Tyr, JC5 or ??? But you don't need power to get high average levels. You only need four watts to listen at 86 dB average level(very loud as an average) at 2 meters. You need power to maintain clean sound during and after large peaks(such as not untypical 30 dB pi... | |
| ATC active vs. passive Brad gave a great description of the ATC 50. I'll add a big reason why active is better. Amplifier tests are done with resistors of a given value. Real speakers are not resistors to the amp, the are also capacitors and inductors and their affects ... | |
| The Great DAC Mystery Just a comment on measurements. I heard a one off custom set of speakers that were wonderful. The designer was very technical. And always looking for correlation between any measurements and what's heard I asked him how he used measurements in his... | |
| Stand Mount Speakers for Classic Rock that sound alive at lower volumes ? If any speaker is essentially flat it will sound bass shy and a small treble loss at low volumes due to Fletcher/Munson affect at our ears. Bass and treble roll off at low levels at our ears. Our ears are flat at about 100dB. Even at 80 dB, fairly... | |
| ???YOUR Personal Favorite???Why??? I recall reviewing a set of ATC 19 speakers about 8 years ago I liked a lot. And this is a foolish thin since I haven't heard them but I do believe in measurements, especially when they are extraordinary, Ex Machina makes 3 powered 3 way speakers ... | |
| New Radiant Acoustics Clarity 6.2’s Just a comment. With a passive radiator there is no opening but the acoustic characteristics of a passive radiator are essentially the same a bass reflex. The term closed box here is misleading since the bass character is nothing like a closed box. | |
| FirstWatt SIT-3 or Pass Labs XA25 for Avalon Indras? Power isn't just for loudness. It's for fidelity. Even at low level on some music peaks can be 20 to 30dB. To play them accurately you need tons of power. P.S. The comment on Fletcher/Munson also applies. Our ears are flat around 100dB. Bass is w... | |
| Anyone remember the days before bells and whistles! For a real lack of bells and whistles, in the 60s high end speaker cable was 14 gauge lamp cord in stead of 16 gauge. |
