| One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer? @pindac I had no problem with my VPI 19-4 for vibration relief-it has springs and rubber feet. I almost gave back my VPI TNT VI because it's feet are next to worthless for isolation, even sitting on a heavy steel stand with 50/50 sand/shot filli... | |
| Bookshelf vs diffuser panel. Who wins? @dekay We are neighbors! Bobbette Fleschler & Catherine Mulholland founded the Friends in 1993. I know because when I made the final bid for my house she was at the founders meeting and was elected first president that day. (We got the hou... | |
| One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer? I would appreciate a two armed LP table as well. I'd keep my Dynavector 20X2 L and add something like a Hana Umami or some Koetsu. | |
| Bookshelf vs diffuser panel. Who wins? For more on Acoustic Fields/Dennis Foley in buyer beware: = https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/buyer-beware-dennis-foley-and-acoustic-fields.33886/ and my personal Feburary 24, 2022 comments/experience https://www.whatsbestforum.com/thread... | |
| Bookshelf vs diffuser panel. Who wins? @jumia I also acquired/rescued 40 lawn bags of books from the estate of the late Universal pictures conductor Joseph Gershenson which were left out in 1988 for trash. I took the 1,000+ books, donated half to CSUN (many were 1st editions/unsign... | |
| One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer? The VPI arms are also easy to change. | |
| One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer? I have a VPI 19-4 modded for 78 rpm play and a VPI TNT VI for LPs. It is just easier to switch from one table to the other since the 78 player requires an equalization preamp whereas the LP play is RIAA flat in my system with a separate phono pr... | |
| What speakers have you mistakenly let go and then later repurchased? Well I never repurchased a set of speakers but I should have kept the Acoustat 2+2s, for my living room (secondary listening room) from 35 years ago. Sold them very cheap. @fredapplegate I get your point but my new wife hated them because they l... | |
| I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters Although I have heavily shielded cables (GroverHuffman.com), they are sitting on 5/8" 90 oz plush nylon pile rug which claims to be anti-static. I use rubber pucks as lifters (like the audio technica ones from the 80s) under the 16’ runs of speake... | |
| Bookshelf vs diffuser panel. Who wins? @ditusa However, take everything Acoustic Fields says as an attempt to separate you from your money. I spent $150,000+ on constructing a listening room with the contractor who worked with him on other projects. He never supplied the plans, they ... | |
| Bookshelf vs diffuser panel. Who wins? @dekay We have two libraries of books in my home (75% my collection/25% my late former wife's). We took a 12' wall in a spare bedroom and installed book shelving 8' high to store about 1500 books (she was an historian so 30% of those books a... | |
| Did you notice.... I completely agree. Mastering must be the same if the same results from streamers and CDs are to be similar or even the same. Perhaps a streamer can reproduce sound/music equivalent to a CD playback. I am unfamiliar with streamers capabilities gen... | |
| Did you notice.... "Audiophiles are Snobs" features an idiot! He states, with no equivocation, that $5,000 and $10,000 speakers sound equally good and a $500 and $5,000 integrated amp sound equally good. He is either deaf or a liar or both! There is a site fil... | |
| Looking for Speaker Recommendations @bgross -Thought the KEF Reference One to be such a massive departure from LS50 Metas. Could you explain how they are different sounding and pleasing or not? @lucky_doggg7 Yes, They are $18,000 asking price for a formerly $27,000 speaker from... | |
| Did you notice.... Ha, ha. I have tried four low end Marantz CD players (as transports) in my high end system. As CD players, they were warm and slow, lacking in resolution and openness. For $600-$1000, they were okay but old Denon 1500 and Kyocera 310 kills the... |
