| $2000 turntable system Contacted George at GEM. Ordering the PolyTable with the Jelco SA 750-D.he suggested the Hana EL cartridge. Plan to go with the Vincent PHO 8 of which he also approved. Will probably get his digital power supply later on.Thanks for all the great i... | |
| $2000 turntable system And TAS 2015 Product of the Year for GEM Polytable is definitely a significant recommendation. | |
| $2000 turntable system Looks like the GEM Polytable uses the Jelco SA-250 tonearm but can upgrade to the SA 750-D for $200. Gonna take a hard look at it.You guys have given me pile of homework. Much Appreciated! | |
| $2000 turntable system Brings up the question of vinyl reissues. Are those generally mastered from analog tape or from digital archives? Seems it would defeat the purpose if there was digital inserted in the production chain somewhere. | |
| $2000 turntable system Appears the HW-19 listed has a Audioquest P9 arm that is the same as the Jelco. Sent a message to the listing. | |
| $2000 turntable system 3 votes for VPI HW-19 & Jelco SA-750D,I see a used VPI for $975 and new Jelco for $485.About the same price as a Scout Jr.Does swapping in a tone arm require any savvy? | |
| $2000 turntable system You read my mind. Been looking at the Scout Jr. since I got your previous recommendation. | |
| $2000 turntable system Thanks Willie.Trick looking rig. Glad I asked for advice.You guys are gonna save me from making my usual mistakes. | |
| Question for sub woofer users One thing no one seems to mention but that I think is very important is phasing the sub properly. Soundoctor.com has plenty of info on sub setup.He is the tech support guy at JL Audio. They know a thing or two about subs. | |
| Help, my system sounds lifeless! Looks like those speakers have dual binding posts for biwire/biamp.Maybe you forgot to connect the jumpers. ;) | |
| Dipole Asymmetry Would add that box speakers won't really solve the problem.Unless you can adjust each speaker individually for "boundary effect"(as in Revel speakers) you will still have an asymmetry problem. | |
| Dipole Asymmetry Per Martin Logan 2+ feet off front wall is acceptable. In my set up absorption on front wall flattened the sound stage. Diffusion however maintained sound stage depth but gave more solid imaging. Untreated the sound was very enveloping but seemed ... | |
| Tube amp Questions I have Revel F52s and have tried them with PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated at about 75 watt/channel. Sounds good but I agree with the assessment that the 52s do better with real power. Now have the PrimaLuna connected to Revel F206s and f... | |
| Subwoofers.... one 10" or two 8"? If you sum the signals from the sub and main you get +3 dB.(less after room interactions) If you cancel the signals with reverse polarity you get -40 dB. Much easier to hear! Method works best when the sub is close to the speakers. If sub farther ... | |
| Subwoofers.... one 10" or two 8"? Hi Eric,Beg to differ. Easiest and most accurate is the method I described very briefly. All you need is: play a test tone at the crossover frequency with reversed cable polarity at the speaker, listen for the null as you adjust the phase, correct... |
