| Who's done it besides me ? I have broken a stylus or two, but my worst cartridge experience happened when I was pulling the wire clips off a Shinon Red Boron, and the back of the cartridge came off with part of the internal mechanism still attached. | |
| What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price? I will buy a lottery ticket then buy MBL Extremes as soon as I get the new house built. | |
| Most Architectural Turntable/Best Looking? I find the clean functional understated appearance of Clearaudio tables such as the Performance DC Wood or Ovation to be very elegant and handsome. | |
| What is the #1 equipment want currently on your HiFi horizon??? A new turntable arm and cartridge. I'm pretty sure it is going to be a Clearaudio Performance DC with the Tracer arm and an Ortofon Cadenza Bronze cartridge. I plan to drive to Atlanta next Wednesday and buy them. | |
| Clearaudio TT5 tangential tonearm I have used a Eminent Technology 2 air bearing linear tracking arm on a VPI table for the last 30+ years. I have made plans to drive to Atlanta and buy a new tt and arm next week. It will be a Clearaudio Performance DC table and a Clearaudio Tra... | |
| Midwoofer+Tweeter vs Wide band My DIY, fully horn loaded, triamplified speakers use AER BD3 8" wide band drivers to cover the range of 200Hz to 8kHz. The bass is provided by 25Hz quarter wave folded corner horns. The highs above 8kHz are played by a Fostex t900a bullet tweete... | |

| Purchasing from LP Gear I really appreciate all the responses. Despite the fact that LP Gear's website still states that they have the Audio Technica ART9 for sale when I finally got a return e-mail from them this afternoon it stated that they do not have it. I think t... | |
| so, i recorded a type 1, normal bias, on a 70s cassette deck, and it sounds FANTASTIC " I recall some of the later Cassette Decks - especially Nakamichi - that had quite the technological extreme look to them and were pieces of art, but all cassette decks could eat your tape. "I bought my Nakamichi ZX7 in 1984. I still have it... | |
| Woofer-Assisted Wide Band My fully horn loaded, triamplified, DIY speakers use AER BD3 wide range drivers loaded into BD Design Oris 150 front horns to cover the range of 200Hz to 8kHz. Folded corner horns provide the bass and Fostex T900a super tweeters cover the range ... | |
| what is the best cassette tape maker in your experience? As I remember I always got good results with Maxell tapes in my Nakamihi ZX7. That was decades ago so I must admit I really do not Schitt from the Siminola Cartel about the subject now. I don't even know why I am posting. I shouldn't have had t... | |
| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. When I began reading this thread it struck me how free of typical volume considerations I am. Since my wife of fifty years plus recently passed away I live alone in a house pretty much in the middle of my eight acre plot. Despite this my listeni... | |
