| Best tonerarm match for Acutex M320 III STR cartridge Chris, I wish that would be the case, but there is no room anywhere near my listening chair for a sub. I do wonder, though, about the close placement between my 15" Tannoy sub right next to my 845 amp. Well, time to do some more listening.Thanks,Dan | |
| Wide dispersion speakers for a large room I agree with Latik regarding the Tannoys. I use 12" HPD drivers (dual concentric from 1975) in my large listening room ( 16' X 34', with cathedral ceilings). They are in custom 150 liter enclosures that are built on the massive side, at nearly 2" ... | |
| Best tonerarm match for Acutex M320 III STR cartridge Hi Chris, et al,The sub is rolled off at 60HZ. When I finally got to listening, I tried first with the sub off. There was no feedback issue, using my SET 300B amp. I then turned the sub on, and there was no feedback at all.I don't remember which o... | |
| Best tonerarm match for Acutex M320 III STR cartridge Uberwaltz, I have not changed phono stages, just the line stage. In any case, the MM gain is 50db, and MC gain is 66db.The gain provided by the line stage is 15db.I've been using the same Modwright SWP 9.0 SE Phono Stage for around six or seven ye... | |
| Best tonerarm match for Acutex M320 III STR cartridge Uberwaltz, Lewm,The feedback is volume dependent. It happens when I turn up the gain to where it's how I like to hear it, below the clipping point on some of my lower powered amps. And, as I mentioned, it sounds spectacularly good until the feedba... | |
| Best tonerarm match for Acutex M320 III STR cartridge Raul, Uberwaltz, thanks for your replies. I'm not looking to replace my tonearm. I really enjoy having the Dynavector 501, and also, it's not feasible to mount another tonearm, as there's not enough acreage on my plinth.So yes, I'm looking for a w... | |
| Who Is An Expert On Acutex Cartridges? For those that posted on this thread, I'm in need of information regarding the Autex M320 STR III. I'm encountering a feedback issue on my Garrard 401, with a Dynavector 501 arm. The cartridge sounds amazing until the feedback rears its ugly head.... | |
| Breakdown of Turntable Performance Fellows, I tried finding the Slaws My Mat, and couldn't. Can you direct me on where to find them?Thanks,Dan | |
| Modwright PS 9.0 or PS Audio Steller Phono Preamp? I have no info regarding the PS Audio Stellar phono stage. I have, however, owned the Modwright SWP 9.0 SE phono stage for a number of years now, and love it. I talked to Dan Wright a couple of days ago, and he mentioned the new PH 9.0 phono stag... | |
| Interesting difference between 12" and 9" tonearms Brian, that's interesting, as even Mikey Fremer says there's no real advantage in having more than a 9" arm. I guess that's not always the case.Regards,Dan | |
| Speaker terminal Loose I found on my Furutech expanding bananas, if you remove the screw expansion pin, you can take a small file, and file down the area on the plug where the pin threads in, you can get more tightness due to the pin going in a bit further in, making fo... | |
| New to audio. Is there a good DAC that can produce layers of sound? Not long ago, I purchased a Benchmark DAC 1 PRE. I was flabbergasted at how it sounds. They don't sell cheap, but there's a reason for that, they're that good. I got mine for $500, in perfect shape, and as far as I'm concerned, it's all the DAC I'... | |
| Lets see your listening room dimensions. blueranger, thanks for your nice comments. I've recently acquired an SET 845 amp, and had all the capacitors upgraded, and despite being Chinese in origin, it drives my custom Tannoy HPD's extremely well. It's the best my room and system has ever ... | |
| Lets see your listening room dimensions. My listening (living room) is 16'.5" X 34' with cathedral ceiling. The long dimension includes the dining room & kitchen. Wall to wall carpeting up to the kitchen, two couches, and my listening chair plopped down about 8 feet from the speakers... | |
| REL with Primare question... Chris, you are apparently in Washington State, as am I (Whidbey Island). When I had my Primare SP 31 processor, I just used wye connectors from the stereo left and right outputs into my subwoofer, as I still do with my current Arcam AV 9.I use the... |
