| Audio Technica ART 9 LpTunes also has it. I wonder if there's some relationship with LpGear. They're both in the Las Vegas area but have different addresses. I wonder if one split off from the other and they both use the same distributor? | |
| Is the at 150mlx a bad match on the jmw9 tonearm Effective mass of the JWM 9 is 7.7g. The AT150MLX weighs 8.3g and the mounting hardware add 0.5g for a total effective mass of 16.5g. AT150MLX dynamic compliance is 10. If you run those figures through the resonance frequency calculator, you get a... | |
| Audio Technica ART 9 I was always wondering why Audio Techinca didn't have a direct competitor to the Denon DL-S1 in the US. Now, I guess they do. | |
| What to upgrade first for better sound quality? You have a good cartridge, a good turntable, a good integrated amp,and good speakers. The one weak link that pops is the Mac's phono stage. Before you move to a low output MC cartridge, try to see what a quality phono stage would do with your curr... | |
| Bose 901's with "highend ancillaries"?? 09-04-15: MapmanI also saw a sizeable rack of new issue old title records there mostly in the $30-$40 range and higher, and a lot of new entry level turntables at various more reasonable price points I thought. I guess if you buy the expensive rec... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... According to this web page, the Jelco SA-750L has an effective mass of 11g not including cartridge. The Art-9 weighs 8.5g and has a dynamic compliance of 18. That compliance with an effective mass of 19.5g creates a resonant frequency of about 8.5... | |
| NHT 3.3 vs Mirage M3si I have heard several NHT models, but not specifically the 3.3s. I *own* Mirage M5si's (one model down from the 3si's), and have owned them for 19 years (and really glad I still have them). They still anchor my 7.2 home theater setup and could just... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 to 3.7i or Pass Labs XA60.5 to X100.5 Hasse: Thanks for the updated dimensions. I'd either missed or forgotten them. 15x18 is a pretty ideal size for 1.7s and possibly a bit of a squeeze for 3.7s. Advantage of the 3.7: true ribbon tweeter section vs.1.7's quasi ribbon. You get faster ... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 to 3.7i or Pass Labs XA60.5 to X100.5 09-14-15: Russ69No brainer, 3.7. They are a big step up from a 1.7. It's a 10x12 room. Think small, the size of a fourth bedroom or "bonus room".A .7 would probably be better than the 1.7 in a room that size. All the more reason for very small sub... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 to 3.7i or Pass Labs XA60.5 to X100.5 I recommended the subs because I have successfully done it. The DOGMA against integrating subs with Maggies is that the Maggies' rise time (i.e., speed) is too far ahead of subs you'd put with it. That may have been true ten years ago, but there a... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 to 3.7i or Pass Labs XA60.5 to X100.5 Keep the 1.7s, keep your amplification. If you really want to energize the room, improve tonal balance, and have a rig that sounds right on any kind of music, spend your money on one or two (preferably sealed) subwoofers.JL Audio now has the more ... | |
| Break-in period for JL Audio f112 Having to lower the volume over time is a good sign that it's breaking in. It means the sub is producing more volume on less power because the surround has become more flexible and is allowing a larger excursion for the same input level as before.... | |
| How much am I missing with SL1200 mk2? Do turntable mats made of leather count as audiophile skin? | |
| Break-in period for JL Audio f112 To break in a sub, you not only have to run music into it for several hours, you have to run frequencies and transients with lots of sub-40Hz material.As to need for break-in, it's the deep subs that have the big half-roll surrounds for long excur... | |
| How much am I missing with SL1200 mk2? Maybe they make a DJ version with a phono pre. They don't have a regular head shell that you would mount a regular cart on. Its some type of quick connect setup.The quick-connect cartridge you're talking about is an Ortofon Concorde or one of the ... |
