| $300 Budget - help I'm sorry I don't have any specific recommendations, but you might want to consider buying a used turntable, hopefully getting more for your money. I'd stick with something found on Audiogon (rather than eBay or other) because the chances are bett... | |
| Can You Live With Crackling & Popping Noise? For a very affordable record-cleaning alternative, you might look into the Spin Clean device sold at garage-a-records.com. I can't vouch for it because I've never used it, but it's just $65 and looks like it might do a good job. Has anyone else ev... | |
| Can You Live With Crackling & Popping Noise? Ryder,I think the thing that hasn't been said outright is that the records you have may just happen to be in exceptionally bad shape. I've been buying vinyl for more than 40 years. The ones I bought new are still in very good condition, because I ... | |
| Help w/speaker choice Rsa, I have to question your opinion of Joseph speakers as being "entry level." How so? I can't speak from firsthand experience, but every review I've ever read of them extoll their superb sound and sophisticated engineering (i.e., infinite-slope ... | |
| Vienna Acoustics setup questions I have just one thing to add:A pair of Beethovens for $500.00???!!!???You're going to jail, my friend. That's grand larceny. Congratulations!-Bob | |
| Flat Anechoic Measured Frequency Response Speakers Thanks for that link, Jkalman. I obviously hadn't come across that one.-Bob | |
| Flat Anechoic Measured Frequency Response Speakers Thanks, Duke. I'm guilty of focusing too often on on-axis measurements, so it's good to get a bit of education from one as knowledgeable as yourself.BTW, I assume most Audiogoners are aware of this, but if you go to the link below, you'll find a g... | |
| Flat Anechoic Measured Frequency Response Speakers The Usher Be-718 is flatter than most I've seen, as measured by the NRC of Canada (scroll down to Chart 2, LIstening Window, especially):http://www.soundstagenetwork.com/measurements/speakers/usheraudio_be718/ | |
| Classical speakers that do violins well?? OP here, with just another word of thanks.In traveling over the weekend I had a chance to audition a few of your suggestions: The Vienna Mozart Grands and Focal Chorus 826V and 806V. Setup was not ideal (Magnolia and a Tweeeter affiliate, respecti... | |
| Classical speakers that do violins well?? ...and all I did was ask for a few speaker recommendations!-Bob (OP) | |
| Classical speakers that do violins well?? Yeah, the Strausses are a bit beyond my budget—and probably a bit larger than would fit comfortably in my humble abode. But perhaps the Beethoven Babies, Mozart Grands or Bach Grands would be possibilities. Besides, I have a real problem with a sp... | |
| Classical speakers that do violins well?? Again, thanks so much for the wealth of responses—even if a few are just a tad beyond my budget! :-)Guidocorona, the Aragon 2004 is listed as having a damping in excess of 200, so I think I should be okay in that category.MrT, until I can fit a sy... | |
| Classical speakers that do violins well?? Thanks so much to all of you for your thoughtful responses. I will definitely take them into consideration. A few of you have addressed some good points not strictly related to speaker brands, and I have either addressed or considered them. And ye... | |
| Classical speakers that do violins well?? Thanks, folks.Sorry about the missing info: Quad 66 preamp and Aragon 2004 amp (100W). Both LP and CD sources (equipment in flux). Room size 21' by 12' by 8' high.-Bob | |
| Coincident Triumph vs. Zu Druid Celtic66,You are "Celtic66," and you have no experience with Druids? Just doesn't seem right somehow. :-)I don't mean this personally, but I've been wondering why the whole word has suddenly become allergic to using "I" as the subject of a sentenc... |
