Two Protractors - Only One Aligns
I know this is an older thread, but I just stumbled across it. I have a 10" ML Conductor and use the Feickert. PTS is 237.5 MM. I have a really poor copy of a terribly translated owner's manual. If you are still here and want me to, I'll see if I ... 
Is Anyone Using Dirac Live Or Other Room Correction?
I've posted a bit on this before.  I used Lyndorf and now use Room Perfect.Opinions are in previous posts 
Thoughts on replacing caps in 30 year old speakers
I think you'll be surprised and very pleased.  However, Theil made some bitchin' difficult and complex cross-overs, so good quality stuff will beexpensive just due to the parts count since a single good big cap can run $80 or more, so... 
Mark Levinson Customer Service is the best!
Glad to hear it.  Years ago, they left me stranded with an $8K "futureproof" DAC and and totally unresponsive service department.  Got rid of all 3 ML pieces and swore never to have another.Obviously, you are dealing with a totally different compa... 
Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube
The Rowland was, I believe, a 500 series. (301"s?) It went from Atlanta in my car to my home after audition where the previous owner claimed he had owned it and it had been in his system for 2 years. Definitely broken in. It had the same sonic sig... 
Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube
Me. Three times. Treble quality was atrocious. Roland, Job and one other. This was up until 4 years ago. People say they've gotten better. On each try, they were out of my system within 2 days. (Yes, they were broken in). 
I am sick of Adele
She's okay: as in, a friend of mine was raving about her when her second recording came out, so I bought both of them and then listened. My thought was, "okay..."She's really pretty good, but I could only damn her with faint praise. Sometimes, I j... 
What would you do?
Thank you for the unsubstantiated rumor that could cause people to reach incorrect conclusions about a legitimate dealer, while you claim to have the info needed to let us know about a bad one.Perhaps just lurking is more appropriate for you than ... 
$15,000 Speaker Does Not List Freq Response Specs
Who cares? Those numbers are always so cooked and then measured in non-real world spaces with God knows whose microphone and "weighted" formulate that what you hear in your room bears little to no resemblance to specs given. 
Opinions on Rowland 302 vs musical fidelity m8 700
I had 302. Guido is absolutely spot on correct. It sounded as if it was never broken in, but it was. Drab and colorless, and not in a good way. 
Songs that trigger you to switch the station or...
Wow! These were great listings. Just the mention of Journey, Foreigner (interesting as their history may be), Al Dimeola, G&R and almost the entire Zeppelin catalogue will have me gagging harder than the last Tequila drunk that I can remember.... 
How well respected our EAR products
Just a bit more: I think the EAR products are some of the best sounding gear I've heard, sometimes, regardless of price and Dan Meinwald was (and I assume is) a helpful and conscientious gentleman. 
How well respected our EAR products
I had a problem with response to a proprietary, broken "stand-off" screw on an EAR integrated. It sounded good with my Quads, but was assembled with not-so-good parts and this part broke, newly shipped, in factory packing. I would think, "not my f... 
Atma-Sphere S30 MKII
Selling an older model s30 was one of my biggest mistakes in 35 years in high end hobby, and I've swapped out a lot. Great amp, if you have enough ventilation in your room. 
Does anyone run 2 or more turntables...
Yes. Different tonearms and carts. Second one is set up and used for mono.
