| effective mass of Jelco tonearms I have e-mails directly from Jelco stating that the effective mass of the 250 is 18 grams and the 750D is 20 grams, including headshell. They did not say anything about the effective mass including a cartridge. The e-mails are from 2009 and 2010.-Bob | |

| Speakers with fullness and weight? Thanks for a very interesting read, Duke. While I did mention the Allison effect, I've never really had a good technical grasp of its full implications. All this makes me respect the many decisions that go into designing speakers. Thanks.-Bob | |
| Speakers with fullness and weight? Duke's comments about placing the speakers closer to the floor reminded me of the picture of the Super Elf monitors on the Shahinian website, placed just a few inches off the floor. Apparently this is their suggested placement. I assume this has q... | |

Actually, for LPs that are on the cool side, I use my warmer-balanced Grad... | |
| Harbeth Compact 7s vs. Pioneer's $129 speakers Glad you're happy with them, Dan. They may not be perfect, but if the things they do well are the things that are important to you, they are truly remarkable for the price. I would love to see what Andrew Jones could do with a pair of monitors at ... | |
| Harbeth Compact 7s vs. Pioneer's $129 speakers Just a note that the Pioneer speakers have already been reviewed by The Absolute Sound (I'm not sure what issue.) They are also reviewed in the latest edition of Stereophile, July 2013. Both reviews are very favorable.-Bob | |

| Minuets supreme & Onkyo A-9555 a good match? I can't help thinking you'd get more responses if you placed this question on the "Speakers" forum rather than the "PC Audio" forum. Good luck.-Bob | |
| New cart for under 1K It surprises me that no one has yet pointed out that Grado cartridges are among the least bright or harsh cartridges in the world. And it's among the sweetest. I would venture to say that almost every alternative cart mentioned thus far has at lea... | |
| Harbeth Speakers If I understand it correctly, the ESR version is the first generation of P3 speakers to use a mid/woofer made of Harbeth's proprietary Radial material, which is highly praised by some as a breakthrough technology. More information can be found if ... | |
