| Denon DL-103 -- Was it a mistake? The Compliance-weight relationship is closer to ideal for the 2M and the Clearaudio arm than it is for the 103 - so even though the 2M Red is a more modest cartridge - it should sound a lot better without having to tweak it. And the 2M Red probabl... | |
| A good cartridge match for Thorens 150 mkII? Thanks! | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rebbi, Ouch!! I went through a patch like that recently with my p's. Hang it there! | |
| A question of bass... Several actually. Shadorne,Agree completely. Too bad it is often easier to change speakers than it is to change rooms... | |
| A good cartridge match for Thorens 150 mkII? Thanks much for the feedback.But is it a "pretty heavy" arm or a "light" arm??? | |
| A question of bass... Several actually. Rhanechak,Careful listening is an acquired talent, which you already have based on your first post above. But I did see an Agoner in Cleveland with a pair of experienced ears listed for sale recently, 8.5/10 condition... (sold as is). | |
| A question of bass... Several actually. Acoustat6,You need more than a sound pressure meter in my experience. Most people's ears are more sensitive than a SPL meter and can integrate a lot more information in real time. SPL meter gets you on the green - your ears take you to the cup. | |
| A question of bass... Several actually. Shadorne,There is probably some curve you can draw where the cost of accurately reproducing bass notes increases geometrically with lower frequency, requiring increasing quantities of power, woofer area and box volume and bracing. SO yes, "accurat... | |

| A question of bass... Several actually. Rhanechak - what amp did you have driving the Dynaudios? My experience is that the A 72's can go very low and loud when driven with sufficient power (300W or more into 4 ohms). The Regas on the other hand are more efficient and can run on less jui... | |
| New Rega R1 - Recommend an Amp? Agree with Lenny on the CD players.Because the R1's are very efficient and you are using them in a smaller room (I assume), you can get away with less power.Here are some amp ideas:-Marantz PM5003 - built in phono-Onkyo A955 - built in phono - get... | |
| Best amps for Totem hawks?? please help Bobrock initiated this threat by saying his 100W per channel SS amp was having trouble "driving" his Totem Hawks. Rumadian suggested among others the BAT VK300x and the Blue Circle FtTH integrateds. Mallardducks says they agree with Rumadian and t... | |
| Best amps for Totem hawks?? please help Abramsmatch, You thought the A5 was boring with Totem speakers? Funny, that's the same way I felt about listening to the Bel Canto S300i driving the Usher Be-718 - Ho Hum, didn't ring my "Bel" so to speak. Which is also funny because that's the sa... |
