| Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G @chakster What does it matter that Pioneer markets to DJs? The table is no less good for it. One might even argue that it’s benefited from it in the form of greater torque and mass over the 1200s. It also has a damped tonearm and detachable cables... | |
| Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G The Pioneer PLX will certainly keep up with a used 1200. I've handled both and the Pioneer actually felt like the higher quality table. It even had less visible platter runout. But don't take my word for it (or that of any YouTube amateur), compar... | |
| Stand Alone Super Tweeter for Revel F208? Golden Ear Triton one’s achieve this by a severe boost around 10 kHz. If that’s the sound you want, you need to sculpt the HF response. https://www.stereophile.com/content/goldenear-technology-triton-one-loudspeaker-measurements<< shiver >... | |

| Upgrading integrated...Vinnie Rossi Lio, Primaluna Dialogue, Used Moon? Yamaha A-S2100. It will pair very well these speakers and power all of them with ease. Solid state bass and dynamics with tube-like bloom. | |
| Stand Alone Super Tweeter for Revel F208? A friends B&W 802D2 has that sparkle I’m referring to as well. Ringing tweeter also?If a driver cone sounds like the material it’s made of, as is the case with many speakers mentioned here, then yes (yeah, yeah, I'm well aware of cone breakup ... | |
| Moving from MM to MC The SAS/ M97xe combo is a giant killer IMO, at least up to around the $1K mark. The caveat is that it requires precise alignment and setup to hear everything it has to offer (especially VTA and VTF). It also takes a good 50 hours of break-in befor... | |
| Stand Alone Super Tweeter for Revel F208? Totems have ringing tweeters, that's the "sparkle" you're hearing. Revels need no help in the treble region. | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? @o_holter It sounds as though your setup adjustments might have reduced some cartidge resonance. I’m thinking that was likely part of the problem.And in answer to one of your questions, yes, sometimes subsonic noise is actually pressed right into ... | |
| Yesteryears' expensive speakers compared to modern moderately expensive speakers What almarg said +1An improvement in speaker technology should result in better sound. Better sound is quite subjective. As for manufacturing efficiencies, those are often achieved by sacrificing quality. | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless -- wow!!! ^ Maybe it's time for an audiogram. | |
| Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ?? Golden Ears tend to sound a bit dark and bass heavyWeird. Golden Ear's Triton speakers are some of the brightest, most fatiguing I've encountered, even when driven by McIntosh amps. Ironically, in the same room where I auditioned the Triton 1s, I ... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? Whatever you do, don’t get a subsonic filter, unless of course you want to kill good sound.This is nonsense. I use the cheap DB Systems filters and the loss in fidelity is barely perceptible.I also discovered that, indeed, "silent" record grooves ... | |
| Thoughts on the most difficult instruments for speakers to reproduce? The instruments that are most difficult for a microphone to capture. | |
| most advanced speaker in a rectangular wooden box? @sonance,If a speaker has inferior sound, regardless of materials/design, it's not advanced in my book. The whole purpose of advancing speaker design is better sound. If speakers containing beryllium tweeters, carbon fiber woofers and built-in amp... |
