| Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops Kennyc, Magnetism and static electric charge are two different things, even though static chargecan make two things that are charged with opposite polarity (positive on one and negative on the other) cling together. The point being that it is qui... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 Raul, Which of the current Velodyne subwoofers do you like for a moderate size listening room and for crossing over below 100Hz? Would you use the built-in electronic crossover? Pass makes or used to make an electronic crossover. I have searched... | |
| Field coil dava cartridge By the way, Bonzo, it would be helpful on your blog if you would define the terms you use to describe sound quality, because obviously the analysis is totally subjective, so one needs to know as much as is possible what is in your mind when you us... | |
| Field coil dava cartridge Bonzo, your zeal for traveling all over Europe to audition these very eccentric systems and then to try to describe what you heard is commendable and makes fun reading, if I’ve even heard of the gear in the first place. In the photos, where did yo... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 drbond, Duke Lejeune is the man to whom you refer, who is a friend to Ralph Karsten. His business is called "Audiokinesis". If I were to add a subwoofer, that is where I would look. Duke is the salt of the earth, a great guy and very knowledgeab... | |
| Absolute Monster SAM Turntable Besides the platter, what ELSE is made from MDF? For the bucks, I could not get my mind around the idea of an MDF platter. But that certainly is not to say it cannot sound good. | |
| Something strange with imaging Not a good idea to judge channel balance with a stereo recording, because you don’t know what the recording engineer had in mind. Better to use a mono LP and listen for a centered image. your seemingly conflicting results could reflect difference... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 The article you quote is about "woofers", not in particular about "subwoofers". You say there are no negatives. What about the required electronic crossover? It needs to be totally transparent in order to do no harm to the signal at all audio f... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 No. We don’t necessarily listen differently, and I often listen at high SPLs. The crux of the matter is we listen to different genres of music. For example, I’ve never heard of the group you just mentioned. It’s an interesting discussion if you ca... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 Oh please! You can preach even when you’re feeling good. There are pros and cons to the use of a subwoofer and I am aware of all of them. I wonder where you got the notion that ESLs per se as a class are nonlinear below 100Hz, and what do you mea... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 You got me to doing some research on the internet. This is on Wikipedia in the entry about the double bass, the instrument most commonly used in a jazz rhythm section: "The lowest note of a double bass is an E1 (on standard four-string basses) at ... | |
| What's all the fuss about late 70s and earl 80s run of the mill midfi turntables? Where do you draw a line and say this table is "vintage" and that table is "modern", not to say also "better"? | |
| Rega Naia later this year Great! Thanks. To the OP... sorry. | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 The thing is that Mijostyn chose a not very challenging piece of music (Waltz for Debby is hardly equivalent to the 1812 Overture), played by a jazz trio to boot. You say that any ESL starts to fall off at 35-40Hz. Even accepting that lower limit ... | |
| Rega Naia later this year Mijo, You are no doubt familiar with that definition of a "specialist". I love it. |
