| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? prof I have a pair of Legacy Focus (originals) in the main listening room and a pair of their Signature IIIs in the living room. I have managed to achieve a wide sweet spot only recently. I aim my speakers so that I can just see the inside side... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? My wife insisted on removing the large electrostats from my systems and replace them with speakers with bass and dynamics. For me, I required a speaker that sounded good off-axis, basically good along a 10 foot wide sofa, 13’ from the center betwe... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? My original Legacy Focus speakers use cheap paper woofers (3 per speaker) and kevlar mid-ranges (2 per speaker). Legacy upgraded the cones and doubled the magnets in these speakers as Focus HD and SE. Neither of the two newer speakers sound as m... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? Although my wife liked all the Harbeths she heard, I can appreciate their sound but would not own them. My old Legacy Focus have superior dynamic range, bass, highs coupled with a more neutral sound. The vonSchweikert and Lumenwhite speakers are... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? I know. I've held off in buying $50-60K efficient speakers because I'm getting so much great sound/music from my Legacy Focus speakers using older high end equipment and recently acquired tweaks, When I upgrade, it will cost a lot to exceed my ... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? I admit that I have enjoyed some recordings on Wilson speakers, but generally the smaller speakers sounded better. I've heard big Wilson's from the start decades ago (abysmal) which sounded like 5 boxes of sound, incoherent music. The Sabrina, A... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Oh, so bridged mode allows a 50% increase without exceeding distortion performance standards. I forgot about the RM-200 which I also liked and heard many years ago. I doubt that Kevin Deal is selecting tubes which only exceed specs as many peopl... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? That is part of my problem with Magico and Wilson. They play sound okay but not music. That's with about 15 or more auditions of each of those two brands. Never heard a Harbeth I didn't like. I own Legacy Focus and Signature IIIs (originals). ... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? lous- I wonder how VAC manages to get 100 watts from a pair of KT88s in their 200iq amp without prematurely blowing them up in Class A/B configuration. They tightly regulate the tube bias and have oversized/massive transformers of high quality. ... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat I have my remaining tube (70%+) sitting at room temperature (under 80 degrees,usually 67-75). Will it last five years at room temperature or should I freeze it? | |
| Stillpoints - snake oil? I bought them through Tom Port of Better Records. Until I found the Stillpoints, I purchased four pillows. Mine our Homedics, Inc. brand from Keego Harbor, MI (so it says on the pillow). https://www.overstock.com/Bedding-Bath/Homedics-Buckwhea... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? I haven't read the entire thread but here goes.My pre-amp and phono amp use subminiature tubes. They are military rated for minimal vibration (extreme, like for use in bombs and portable delicate equipment) are ultra low noise (not as much as a t... | |
| Stillpoints - snake oil? I am a Stillpoints user. I tried about a dozen other similar vibration devices under the same components to arrive at the ones that I use. Under my VPI TNT VI, I use a Townsend sink (solves VPI’s poor isolation problem). I had major vibration pro... | |
| How do you store and catalog your vinyl? I have a problem shelving my CD box sets such as Mercury, RCA Living Stereo and Deccas with 60 CDs per box. Also, I have many Warner and other 15 to 40 CD box sets. The latter box sets generally fit better in my CD rack/Can-Am metal cases as the... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat I thought I would stop at 6, then 9, 10, 11, 12. I’ve stopped at 12 because I found that my new cabling seems to accomplish much of the same thing times 2 or 3 (but included speaker, pre-amp/amp IC, CD player IC and phono IC cabling) about as cost... |
