| How do you high pass your main speakers? I personally believe you should set your crossover point by ear and not by what your friend or neighbor think it should be. I use a Celodyne servo sub with my Quad 63’s and feel it works very well. I start low on the crossover frequency and raise ... | |
| Advice on how to liquidate system Sorry to hear if your hearing loss but don’t give up yet. Since I was a child, virtually a continual series or ear infections in my left ear resulted in permanent hearing loss. Mostly in the critical midrange and about a 30-40% loss of hearing. Af... | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? I agree that listening is truly the only way to accurately judge speakers. If not able to do so in your home then the dealers showroom might have to do. I have had/ have multiple speakers that I rotate in and out every few weeks, all that I person... | |
| Demise of bass quality in Main speakers I can agree somewhat to larger bass drivers in speakers should add the lower end without a sub but that’s not always the case. My room is smallish, 13 by 15 and my Wilson Watt/Puppies with twin 8” bass drivers can overload the room. When I switch... | |
| UPS. Friend Or Foe? I will not use UPS again, ever. Had a pair of speakers sent to the factory for refurbishment. Original factory packaging and boxes, sent insured for 4K. Got to the factory unscathed but upon arrival back home there was visible box damage to both b... | |
| Apogee Acoustics repair I have spoken to Rich Murray about restoring a pair of Calipers. New bass panels and tweeter ribbons. I inguired about upgrading the crossover to Signature status also. Price about 2 years ago without shipping was $7200.00. About $1400 less if y... | |
| Need advice for upgrading my analog setup A great choice with the SOTA. I have a Star Sapphire with vacuum hold down, an SMEV arm and a Kiseki Blue cart and it’s magic to my ears. Once the SOTA is setup it’s pretty much play it and forget it. Great isolation and speed stability and the ta... | |
| If you had $12k / £10k to upgrade your analogue front-end... If your not adverse to used, a SOTA refurbished table from the company is a great buy and will hold its own for quite a while. I have a Star Sapphire with vacuum hold down, an SME V arm and Kiseki cart all for about $7500. Added a Fosgate Signatur... | |
| Why does pulling out main speakers from wall improve sound? Speaker placement varies with every speaker system, there are no standards to really follow. You can check out the Cardas website, you will find their system for speaker placement in a room based on the room dimensions which is a good starting poi... | |
| Should I buy an SME 30/12A for 15K? Great table arm combo for the price. Is that from Audio Lounge in the UK by chance? Looks like there are quite a few of us who would purchase this table if your not going to. Pull the trigger and don’t look back. | |
| End Game Turntable suggestions I’m not sure about an endgame table but my SOTA Star Sapphire with vacuum hold down and an SME V arm is probably my last table. Once setup it’s rock solid, quiet and free from footfalls and extraneous noise. Add the SME arm which also is easy to s... | |
| Sound Dynamics 300Ti Loudspakers Value Yes keep them. I still have a pair and occasionally rotate them in my system. Harry Pearson got it right in his Absolute Sound review ages ago, they really are a good sounding speaker for the money. Because of age the midrange surrounds were redon... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other You might want to ad SOTA to your list. I have a Star Sapphire table with vacuum hold down and a SME 309 arm on it, a very nice combo IMHO. The SOTA tables being produced now have been seriously reworked for the better, magnetic levitation bearing... | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp I have the Benz Glider Gold and regarding @Blackdoghifi on loading recommendations, the Benz do like higher loading. I have found 1K to work the best after running through other lower options using my Fosgate Signature phono amp. Try them all but ... | |
| Prima Luna have released the Kracken (striketrough) I mean DAC I actually have the EVO 100 dac and find the sound quite good. I admit I haven’t heard all dac’s in the price range but I got mine used for under 2K which I thought was a bargain. It does take about an hour to sound its best but it’s soundstaging,... |
