| Enigma Acoustics (what happened) I must have a knack for picking amazing products from companies that go out of business! (Or at least stop responding- to me anyway) I too have the Sopranino permanently charged ‘stat tweeters. Their full speaker system got good reviews as well. T... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? Roxy maybe I was actually auditioning a computer’s internal headphone jack? By the time I tried to fix misspelling The forum locked my comment. | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? Around the time the Revel Salon 2 speakers came out, (2009) I was looking for a speaker and auditioned them, and thought they sounded good. On the second Audition, the store had them playing on whatever was the current Macintosh tube amps at the t... | |
| Tube vs solid state (with all apologies) Totally off topic but speaking of guitar amps, as a teenager I was jamming with a friend who left his Fender Champ in his car trunk on a hot day. When he set it up and played his guitar through it, I had never heard that amp sound so good. | |
| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? I don't use Etheregen via optical but on 2 different purely copper based ethernet systems, it has the same great effect. | |
| Soundsmith Strain Gauge - Thank You! Other SG benefits are the really low rates of wear. I had used my sg6 stylus for years, probably close to 3,000 hours and thought surely it was time for a replacement. When I sent to Soundsmith I was told it wasn’t even close to being worn out, an... | |
| High quality high pass filtering for speakers? Reviving an old thread, but I was interested in trying a hi pass filter for my mains, and looked into HSU's very inexpensive option, but doesn't work with balanced units. My velodyne subs can do a balanced hi pass filter, but the lowest it goes i... | |
| Soundsmith Strain Gauge - Thank You! Mijostyn Maybe I can let you hear my strain gauge in NYC. Unfortunately my SG6 stylus is worn and I will soon have to send the cart and preamp back to soundsmith for new styili to be built. I have the SG5 up and running, and while it’s excellent, ... | |
| Pros and Cons of Platter Mass What confuses me the most is how a topic sat dormant and was revived 19 years later. I had to check to see if the OP was still with us and certainly glad he is. My TTW table’s plater separates into two parts for convenience, but the total weight i... | |
| How To Safely Ship Cartridges For Retip I have shipped items via FedEx (it might have been UPS, can’t remember) with high valuations ($5k). I had to go to a specific depot to do that, which locks the packages up. Getting paid on a loss is another story, but as long as you have receipt... | |
| HiFi vs MidFi Since I just posted in the thread here about why people don’t use CRT TVs anymore and the huge price I sold my Sony tube for, I’ll continue with a video analogy. In the color grading world of video, we have to make color shift changes very quickly... | |
| Why are there no tube televisions anymore? Video production and post production pro here. A couple of things to add. Until a few months ago I had an old 20” Sony CRT sitting unused in my post production suite.(pic attached) I was going to give it to a friend that collects old TVs, just to ... | |
| Speaker Recommendation up to 70k @aewarren normally I’d agree but if you look at the OP’s other posts he seems sincere and has been here for years and has owned other systems. I could see potential reasons why someone might not want to disclose their electronics purchase at this ... | |
| Speaker Recommendation up to 70k My 2 cents is that buying a sota speaker is such a personal decision, and the shopping/auditioning process is fun and really part of the journey, and an opportunity to learn and train your ear.My advice would be to get a used speaker, perhaps loca... | |
| Friend given a Revox open reel and Tascam 4 track - suggestions be we power them up? @dill thanks - I found a place in NYC that does a cleaning and alignment for $350 and hopefully not too much will be needed in repairs.I’m super excited to hear masters I recorded decades ago in blumlein.The Revox is an a77 mk IV (we think it’s a ... |
