| Duelund 16ga vs. 12ga I wanted to bump this thread. I’m using Altec Valencia’s. Now running Duelund 16GA from Werner Crossover to 15" woofers and the Horns. I want to try the 12 GA and see what that does. Certainly in reading above the 12GA would be an attractive optio... | |
| Headband type magnifier w/ lights for TT setup Ordered an LED light magnifier with interchangeable (2.5 X, 5X, 16X) type lenses. I think that will do me well. Thanks -Don | |
| Headband type magnifier w/ lights for TT setup Thanks all...I can see this thing as being intrusive. Maybe I will simply purchase a better hand held magnifier (mine stinks), and a jewelers loupe.Miller carbon: I do find it a bit hard to see where the needle hits the spot on the Kuzma alignmen... | |
| Best used TT for under $1k? I sold a Well Tempered Amadeus (mk 1) last year for $1,000. I upgraded to a table costing 4 X the price. Since then I purchased a pair of speakers and integrated amp (w phono) for a second system. As I once again plunge down the rabbit hole, I'm t... | |
| Cartridge recommendation around $2k? I have the Charisma Audio version of the Denon 103. I believe Sound Smith has their own (very similar) version. I find it quite competent with macro-dynamics and slam. Jumping up to 2K, I like both the Air Tight PC7 and EMT TSD 15 and 75. I find t... | |
| Help me complete my stereo system (Harbeth, ClearAudio Concept). ...there is the 2.5-3.0 db difference between the 3's and 7's, but again, the 550 is very competent powering the latter. | |
| Help me complete my stereo system (Harbeth, ClearAudio Concept). I'm quite content with my 550 AX II and Compact 7's. I'm running a Kuzma table, Ref 313 arm, and EMT cart direct in to the very competent Lux phono section. There was a post I read that says the magic starts at 507. I can't comment on that, but wo... | |
| Feickert Woodpecker vs Acoustic Signature Double X I have never heard the AS. I have heard and enjoyed the sound of the Woodpecker with Kuzma arm. I believe it was a 12" Unipivot. I eventually bought a Stabi Ref2 with the Gimbal Ref 313 VTA arm, and I'm quite happy. Being that you're looking at no... | |
| My personal top Tone Poet records Yep- Soul Station is one of the handful of MM's I have and agree. I will look in to The Prisoner...thanks. Many of these are OOP, but will apparently come back. That happened with ETC, or I likely wouldn't have my copy. | |
| My personal top Tone Poet records I only have a handful. The ones I have are excellent. I concur on Oblique...very nice. That one does jump out of the speakers, and in a good way. I also picked up Duke Pearson: The Phantom, which has Bobby Hucherson playing on it. I have to give i... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood Sig or other Koetsu on medium mass arms Franc said via email... his arms are designed to work with the best low compliance cartridges. He certainly went further with a more technical explanation, but I didn't want to quote him word for word. He also brought my attention to a recent Dick... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood Sig or other Koetsu on medium mass arms Appreciate this so far...It sounds like we should pay attention to specs/matching, yet it’s likely not bible. I’ve enjoyed Koetsu’s (Rosewood standard and Rosewood Sig) on a Graham 2.2. This is going back too far to help myself here, but I believe... | |
| Clearaudio vs EAT turntables Tell us what you did? (-: | |
| Klipsch Cornwall Equivalent? Anyone hear the Klipsch, Volti, or Altec, that care to offer an opinion. I own Valencia’s with a German Werner Jagusch crossover...haven’t heard them stock for a while. Very well balanced top to bottom. Not deep bass, but sounds complete and never... | |
