| Will the placement of casters on speaker stands degrade the performance from a review of a Music Hall Turntable" The platter, main bearing, and tonearm are all mounted to the top plinth layer, while the bottom layer houses a set of three threaded, adjustable conical feet (complete with anti-scratch cups) and the gold... | |
| Will the placement of casters on speaker stands degrade the performance locking is one thing, tight axel is another, they need to be tight or even when locked they will wobble. | |
| two problems with turntable Two round trips are well worth knowing all is good if you trust them.I would take the TT to them, let them check everything. Perhaps have them solder 4 new wires, better quality, silver solder ..., re-wire the arm with litz wire ... depends on how... | |
| Great Recordings, Sonically Speaking - and Why. Almost anything recorded by Rudyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudy_Van_GelderWhen I weeded the 4,000 LP’s I inherited, often faced with 20 of the same primary artist, wanting to keep perhaps only 3, I flipped em over, checked who else was playing,... | |
| Phono cartridge Many are compatible, better to get a few you are interested in, ask about specific ones.IMO, that TT is darn good (I've had 2), get a new AT Cartridge with advanced stylus shape, and a 2nd headshell, leave the original Elliptical in it's original ... | |
| Broke key guide on 6sn7 how to keep using tube I've done this.With strong light, magnifying glass, careful look by young eyes, see where the positioning tab was broken off the tube center post. Scratch a vertical line in the tube base where the tab was. Line up the scratch with the key slot in... | |
| Will the placement of casters on speaker stands degrade the performance a bag of concrete mix is 80 lbs. Go to home depot, pick up a bag. It can be on wheels (without wobbly axels) and it ain’t going anywhere by itself. Get two 20 lb bags of something, bird seed, sand, ... stuff is heavier the numbers imply. | |
| Will the placement of casters on speaker stands degrade the performance Not ’easy’ movement, ’just possible’ movement. Mine are well over 100 lbs. I have to pull/push pretty hard. They stay solidly where I put them. Solution for movement needs to be made relative to the speaker’s weight and bottom surface area, and th... | |
| 100 watts enough? Oh, I'd like to hear them, where do you live?Happily, your speakers were designed to allow bi-wiring. I'm thinking you will be just fine now, and if you ever move, want/need more volume, you could simply add a second amp, also designed for biamp/b... | |
| Will the placement of casters on speaker stands degrade the performance I call it Wide Center, actually it is L/C/R Imaging maintained over a Wider Area. 2 people listening to 2 channel, I alter the toe-in to get this. 3 people on the sofa (or 2 in the corners near their coffee warmers). my DBX Soundfield 100’s are sp... | |
| Will the placement of casters on speaker stands degrade the performance Movement, Alternate Toe-In!!! Vibrations.Forget spikes. I’ve done it, my friends have done it, we all have done it.The speaker frame/enclosure should be essentially vibration free. Some believe it is important to keep vibrations from the earth fro... | |
| Recording to test right and left channels... OP,you did not mention LP, just how to know if left right is correct. Done? | |
| OK - Now What…? Just in case, plan on room for a TT.To easily get back into Vinyl, this Direct Drive Audio Technica comes with cartridge mounted and aligned, you just select tracking force and matching anti-skate.https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-AT-LP120XUSB... | |
| Recommended cheaper vintage SS Integrated Amps? greg,Always check the weight, that gives you some clue about transformer size, etc.I went the other way, I wanted an inexpensive 2 channel receiver with REMOTE VOLUME that can drive TWO PAIRS of speakers simultaneously. The remote requirement mean... | |
| Recording to test right and left channels... to refine the balance like my prior post, or just to verify if left is left?first, verify the speakers are ’in-phase’ to each other. (cones moving in/out the same) (+ to + and - to - on both sides). If you cannot see the difference at both ends of... |
