| Opinions on stereo subs v. a single mono sub? With LP source, deep bass is monophonic. Records are made this way because strong vertiucal groove modulation tends to make the stylus hop out of the groove. Also rumble filters often reject the differential signal (vertical) because that is what ... | |
| Placement of Magnepan 1.6's or 3.6's Of course you should audition both the 1.6 and the 3.6. Not everyone prefers the ribbon tweeter. I picked the 1.6 over the 3.6, and price was not the reason. | |
| What causes clipping? If these SW are acoustic suspension (sealed box..no vent) your box might have a leak. Tighten all the mounting screws on the drivers. Check for any other source of leakage.Test the polarity of the drivers by touching the speaker wires to a battery... | |
| Fine speed adjustment on Empire 698 ? I had an Empire 598 turntable for many years, and the speed adjustment method (like that described by Kr4) was satisfactory. | |
| Best 5 Channel Amp for $2k? Three Carver ZR1000 (and you get one extra channel thrown in free). | |
| Looking for a guide to best classical recordings "Best" will vary from one person to another. Is a scratchy old recording of a violin concerto played by Fritz Kreisler better than a state of the art SACD by Hilary Hahn? Opinions differ. You should buy a few recommended recordings, and keep track... | |
| How to audition subwoofer? I like the idea of putting a SW behind each main speaker. I think this provides the best "seamless" integration. In particular I have my Maggies set up this way with dual driver subwoofer systems installed in the wall behind each of three Maggies.... | |
| Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? I hope that everyone read the link provided by Onhwy61 in his post on 11/22. I didn't know that recording engineers customarily put microphones inside the piano. As someone who has played a musical instrument I generally like close mic recordings,... | |
| Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? Ritteri...Not sarcastic my friend. I guess it is even difficult to agree with you. | |
| Comments of recommendations on Xmas music Joan Baez, "Noel" is a classic. Also, recordings of the Service of Lessons and Carols from Kings College, Cambridge. | |
| Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? Ritteri...I'm glad that you endorse boosting 20-80 Hz by several dB, because that is what I usually do after geting the system flat. But I always felt guilty about it...like eating too much ice cream. I also use the tweeter padding resistors with ... | |
| Which are the top DVD-A players? I believe there is less variation in DVD-A players than SACD players. Perhaps this is because the DVD-A technology is just an extension of the mature CD PCM technology: 24 bits instead of 16 and 96KHz instead of 44.1KHz. There are more new lessons... | |
| Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? Frogman...Agreed: four full octives down from middle A at 440Hz results in 27.5Hz. How many composers have actually used this bottom key?Here is the question that I would like to see answered.My subwoofers are flat to 20 Hz, as verified by spectru... | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel Ritteri....Check out www.apa.org/pubinfo/anger.html | |
| Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? Onhwy61...I don't do pop/rock so I guess I missed that 41 Hz string. I should have said that classical music has little content below 50 Hz. And I should have mentioned hall reverb along with studio air conditioning. I was focused on the music.Act... |
