| Maybe being discerning isn't that good for us? You are 100% correct. I am an amateur recording technician and when our large choir and symphony perform in auditoriums (Gindi, VBS) and stages (Ford Theater) requiring amplification, the sound is less than it should be. When we perform at Disne... | |
| Best Tonearm and Cartridge for 4K or under for restored Garrard 301 @millercarbon Funny, your first post here represents my tonearm. It's a 1989 SME IV with Cardas rewire continuous from the cartridge clips to an outboard junction box (epoxied wiring at the bottom of the SME so it can't be pulled out and the bo... | |
| Maybe being discerning isn't that good for us? The built in activated carbon room walls (16" thick) eliminated any bass problem and I hear my Focus speakers only 3 db down at 25 Hz (it's half the size of my former music room so was limited to 25 Hz). Plus the room is no longer an issue. My a... | |
| Power Amplifiers My main amps are based on a pair of Altec 1569A monoblocks. The peerless transformers remain, it was totally gutted and expanded into a 125w. voltage regulated (not ultralinear, triode or pentode type) amp with low global feedback and twin 3" X 7... | |
| Maybe being discerning isn't that good for us? Until I moved into my new home with its high end custom listening room, my wife would not listen to flutes, piccolos, vibraphones or other high pitched sharp transient music. It hurt her hearing these. Now, with an extended and controlled freque... | |
| Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS. The $28 were for 4 VG+ condition Ramsey Lewis ARGOs. The free records are a mix of classical, pop and country. Virtually no jazz or classic rock. However, the condition of 75% of the 155 LPs were in excellent or mint condition. I chose some ra... | |
| Synergistic Research Cable Risers? I second Frank's post. I've tried some SR products that didn't work for me despite their claims that they need HFTs to work (I use 32 HFTs instead of elaborate/expensive/large quadradic diffusion paneling on front and rear walls). I also use his... | |
| It isn't the bits, it's the hardware Heaudio I wonder if my EAR Acute from 2006 has an adequate transport as I read it was a standard Sony. The unit was originally Adcom, not an audiophile level unit sonically. That's why I am questioning whether an exotic/high end transport woul... | |
| It isn't the bits, it's the hardware I read several current high end player and transport manufacturers who specifically cite their vibration isolation and freedom from wobble/precise laser readers from a mechanical reference point. As to light scatter, I read several manufacturers w... | |
| It isn't the bits, it's the hardware A comment was made concerning Esoteric's finest player which uses their VRDS-NEO VMK-3.5-20S transport, This transport reportedly hugs the CD in an exact position for the laser reader and eliminates wobble. It was designed to be vibrationally ... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies Yes, I agree, I put 2 e-mat+ on the breaker box and used four e-mats on the backs of the speakers (1 at the crossover section and 1 on the top midrange/super tweeter ribbon drivers). Both noticeable improvements. | |

| Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS. I have 25,000 LPs. About 15,000 are in mint condition and of adequate pressing quality as to exhibit no clicks or pops. One cannot determine whether a CD or an LP is playing other than the additional ambiance of the LP over a CD is often present... | |
| Synergistic Research Cable Risers? The question is, which HFT or ECT SR is using on there cable risers. Maybe it was made specifically for cable risers and unavailable separately. | |
| Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS. I've heard one of Donald Fagen's solo albums on LP on an $850,000 system which included Avante Garde Trios, 3 pairs of Basshorns and 2 Rel Subwoofers. The deep bass was phenomenal (about the only thing I appreciated in that system). Sure it was ... |
