| Room treatments Tube traps are absorptive at low frequencies and mid (500-1k) and can be absorptive or reflective at high depending on how they are oriented. Full specs are here on the latest model http://www.acousticsciences.com/products/isothermal-tubetrapin my... | |
| Room treatments @erik_squires re your show experience with ASC I wonder if this is a case of correlation rather than causation. As I understand it Art makes him a stuff available to those who want to use it at shows, and what I guess happens is that folks with "p... | |

| Audio desk pro vs. Clear audio double matrix I have just replaced my ClearAudio Double Matrix Professional (the last model without the ultrasonic scrubbing) with the K L Audio LP 200 and am kicking myself for not having done this sooner. While the DM Pro is about as simple and foolproof as a... | |
| Mono recordings - two questions... Glad to hear you are getting interested in Mono and the Julie London disc is a good place to start. However one of the great things about Mono is that you do not have to be restricted to re-issues and instead you can go and dig in a wealth of dirt... | |
| MULTIPLE ARM TURNTABLE While using one phono preamp with multiple inputs is great (and is what I do at present) others swear by optimizing the phono preamp to the needs of the cartridge driving it -- so for your mono arm you can use a dedicated mono phono stage such as ... | |
| Tonearm microphonics @infection you are unfortunately misunderstanding two uses of the term dampening in the context of tonearm design. The silicone fluid is used to damp the movement of the entire tonearm for example in response to warps. Adding wrap to the arm will ... | |
| Potential fraudulent purchaser Have the shipper return it to you. Refund the buyer and move on. Don't risk anything if the buyer hasn't provided valid information. Also let AudioGon know ASAP to mitigate feedback risk | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D @rauliruegas is correct in pointing out that one of the challenges of designing a unipivot is addressing the question of lateral stability and providing for precise and repeatable antiskate. It is precisely these challenges that the designer of th... | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D Here's the link to the video in situ.http://www.marklevinson.com/productdetail/~/product/no515.html@moonglum may be correct as the video of the needle drop is of an Ortofon 2M Bronze (I think) whereas the 515 ships with (and is seen later in the v... | |
| dCS Dealer recommendations and dCS Network Bridge impressions I've not got any experience with the network bridge but can strongly recommend my DCS dealer, Brian Berdan at Audio Element in Pasadena, CA. They support all of my needs despite my now living in Portland, OR. Give Brian and his team a call and I'm... | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D @rauliruegas could you explain the problem you have with the video you posted and why this has any bearing to the merits of a unipivot design. As I see it the video shows the forces acting on a cartridge at needle drop, and speak more to a poorly ... | |
| 2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy I think synergistics and other cable company they have cables worth more than 45k ...Interestingly SR did have a $45K cable, the original Galileo system, but this was withdrawn and replaced by Galileo LE peaking at a mere $15K for speaker wire and... | |
| What's been your turntable ownership over the years? @terry9 agree with you entirely on Azimuth -- check here (http://www.durand-tonearms.com/Support/Support/azimuth.html) for lots of advice on how to set it. Anyway all Durand tonearms feature precise mechanisms for adjusting azimuth on the fly. In ... | |
| What's been your turntable ownership over the years? @terry9 what I like about Joel’s tonearms is their design and precision in adjustability. They do take some time to get familiar with and must be mounted with precision (like any tonearm) but once in place are supremely controlled, accurate but al... |
