| ZYX "House" Sound @rauliruegas : Thanks for the discussion. I've learned a lot. I appreciate your patience with me. I am looking at the Technics SL-1200 G and GR. The prices are reasonable. Performance looks exemplary. I come from a technical background - Optics, ... | |
| ZYX "House" Sound I do use the resonance calculator. I always check before installing a cartridge. I have a number of headshells and weights, so I can tailor the mass to obtain resonant frequencies between 10 and 7 Hz. That is, if I know the arm's effective mass. I... | |
| ZYX "House" Sound @lewm That is the slyest compliment I've ever heard. Gave me a chuckle. Thanks. I do agree that the components with moving parts will affect the sound and sound a bit different as they age. I consider speakers, phono cartridges and the listening... | |
| ZYX "House" Sound @rauliruegas The Technics Sl-1200GR you post a link to has grabbed my interest. It does look like there's a lot of value for a very reasonable price. Thanks for the reference. Will the Koetsu, the Shelter and the ZYX cartridges shine on this tab... | |
| ZYX "House" Sound @rauliruegas Thanks for showing me the Technics table. Very good example of good value. If I didn't already have four tables, I might seriously consider it. I don't use the Denon as much as the DD-40, primarily because I don't like the look. The ... | |
| ZYX "House" Sound @rauliruegas Thanks for your comments. It turns out that I am the original owner of one of the DD-40 tables I own. I bought it around 1978 from a high end stereo shop. I was also eying the DDX-1000, but it was too expensive for me then. I was... | |
| ZYX "House" Sound @mijostyn , thanks for your input. I was referring to bad sounding cymbals that I've heard from past setups. I do a thorough alignment now so I don't have that problem anymore. Just bad memories. I don't care for the "clinical" sound some cartrid... | |
| Where to buy vinyl? I second Discogs. I've bought over 30 LPs through Discogs. Except for one LP, I have received wonderfully playing records. Can't beat it. | |
| ZYX "House" Sound This is disturbing and confusing. I have thoroughly tested the MA-505 and the DD-40. Both are functioning very well. I have an MS in Physics and have spent my entire career developing very high end medical and communications equipment. I thorough... | |
| ZYX "House" Sound Please kindly tell me why the DD-40 is not good enough. It sounds wonderful to me with these cartridges. I've had Rega tables before. I don't think much of them. What makes this Rega tables work for the Koetsu but not the DD-40? What makes a new ... | |
| Subwoofer matching Room treatments are not for everyone. They are usually not very pleasing to the eye. But they do work. I have corner traps. I tried the "clap" test with and without them. The echo disappears using the corner trap. It is truly amazing. You cannot r... | |
| Subwoofer matching It is quite simple to "match" a sub to a very efficient speaker. If you can't turn the amp on the sub up enough, then I suggest you get a two way crossover. With this xover you will have independent control of the signals being fed to the main spe... | |
| "Musical" subwoofers? Advice please on comparing JL subs My apologies to everyone. I meant this screed for another topic on this forum. Perhaps it will add to the discussion. If not, feel free to erase it. I'm very new. | |
| Subwoofer matching Here's some of my thoughts on rooms and subs. Right now, I'm figuring out the best location for my system in my room. It's about time. My room is 14.5' x 19.5' x 8' high. I listen across the 14.5" dimension out of necessity. I am using a readi... | |
