| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? I feel your pain. As a owner of Klipschorns and Cornwalls, I can tell u Klipsch speakers are very efficient, but not necessarily pleasing. From your post, youre wishing they were not as "loud" as they are. Unfortunately, that's the sound of a horn... | |
| Silly prices for Nordost cables I'm just becoming aware of the magnetic cables and add-ons for existing cables. I tend to be to be a non-believer in paying exorbitant amounts for any kind of cable. Just my opinion. Let's say the new cables by Mr Schultz actually work. Why not ju... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening I want to echo what Reubent said about your room. You want to look at your room just like a component. You can put a $20K system in a badly set up room and it will sound awfull. You can take a $5K system and put it in a properly set up room and i... | |
| turntables Hi Raul:Sometimes I look at the question, without looking at any of the other answers, before I chime in. I agree with what you say, concerning the disparity in quality between the two Pioneer TT's. I was just saying that if he has all the prere... | |
| turntables Hi Nakamoto:What kind of stylus do you need?Handymann | |
| turntables Let me amend my last post about the PL -51. Why not buy a good cart, like the Lyra Delos and install it on the 51. If results are not satisfactory, invest in a new TT and put the new cart on it. Nothing ventured-nothing gained. | |
| turntables I bought a PL-71 in 1974 from Radio Shack, when I was attending a university in Cookeville Tn. Back then, there just weren't many Hi-Fi stores around, unless you went to Nashville, even then maybe a couple. Audio Systems and Nicholsons. Anyway,... | |
| My Home Speakers, My Car, and Me...The Ballad of What's Going Wrong? I had a similar room at one time. It may be out of the question, but can you reverse your room where your listening position is in front of the windows? You really need at least a few feet between you and the back wall. Of course, as has been m... | |
| Tonearm microphonics Raul:True story about me supplementing my bass. The Wilsons put out such good clean sound, I hate to roll them off, besides, I'd have to get an active crossover to roll the lows off @ 80hz. Maybe I will try it. If I installed a filter, that onl... | |
| Tonearm microphonics Hi Raul:I have a couple of Wilson Maxx II's. They're rated @ 20hz, but they don't quite get there. If I place my subs in front of the speakers, won't that block my main bass? I have had the subs facing each other before, but they were behind m... | |
| Tonearm microphonics The do level of the subs are around 45-50 | |
| Tonearm microphonics Hi Raul:I've seen your name mentioned in several discussions, but don't know anything about you and really don't need to. From other's comments, people look to you for advice. I'm 63 years young and have been into sound since I was four. I was ... | |
| Tonearm microphonics BTW, I have one TT on an inner tube and spiked, the VPI is spiked (it comes with it's own adjustable spiked feet) onto the discs that come with spikes. The spike discs are on rubber compressor feet and my TT platform is isolated from the wall. I... | |
| Tonearm microphonics Karl:When trying the tapping test, be sure your stylus is on the album at the end of it, where it tracks out. If at rest or cued up, you shouldn't hear anything. I use all balanced interconnects, except from my turntables. I have to use SE there | |
| Tonearm microphonics I'm glad this subject was broached. I've been in contact, just this week, with two well known experts in the hi-fi field, concerning acoustical feedback in my TT, when playing low frequency LP's at a louder than normal level. The bass begins to ... |
