| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Tim, Was this last post intended to make the rest of us feel good about the prospects of installing and positioning four subs in a listening room? If so, it didn't work. In my case, the listening room is our living room. There is no video in th... | |
| Give me a straight Doc how bad is it? Just pretend it didn't happen, and listen.For all you know, that slight bend of the cantilever was present even before you dropped the cartridge. | |
| Phoenix Engineering Falcon and Eagle Out of curiosity regarding the reported price increase at Hi-Fi Heaven, I just searched their website. Apparently they sold out of Eagle, still have some Roadrunners left in stock. So, the price increase, whatever it was, did not hurt their sale... | |
| Phoenix Engineering Falcon and Eagle I bought a set of RR plus Eagle from Hi-Fi Heaven, apparently before they increased pricing. For installation on my Lenco. Haven't yet found the time to do the work necessary to mount the sensor on my platter. | |
| Phono preamp power cable not long enough. New wall wart or use an extension cord? Or another way of looking at it is, if you are using a wall wart in the first place, why worry about using an audiophile power cord? Get an extension cord of suitable length from Loew's, at least 16ga, and you can put this problem to rest unless ... | |
| Phoenix Engineering Falcon and Eagle Stringreen, When you say you've heard "it", do you refer to the Eagle plus Roadrunner, connected so that the RR feeds information about speed back to the Eagle, or do you refer to just a straight ahead comparison of the Eagle to the SDS? Because ... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Raul, I agree. For clean low bass, SS is best. Also, I like and respect Duke Lejeune very much, and I applaud his success with AudioKinesis. My problem when it comes to placing four subwoofers in my living room is where to place them.But in my ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul or Dave, Can you send me a photo of your adapted B&O, via email? I am not sure I know exactly what you did. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks for the tip, Raul. As you guessed, I have been so far reluctant to alter the B&O hardware, in case I want to sell. However, SS will make an adapter for ~$50. Maybe I'll buy one and mutilate that to get rid of connectors. I admit I a... | |
| Reed Muse 3C turntable You could try it both ways, but I would start with placing the bypass capacitance after the batteries and before the voltage regulator, if for no other reason than the fact that the relatively huge capacitance can play havoc with the output of a VR. | |
| Reed Muse 3C turntable Exlibris, Two thoughts on your battery power: (1) Strange and pointless as it may seem, you may hear an improvement if you bypass the battery or batteries at their output with large value capacitance. Try some huge value 16V electrolytics with th... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Chris, I would amend your "audiophilic rules" in one way: Audiophiles seek change, even when they ARE already happy.It's much like what Jerry Seinfeld said about the male propensity for channel surfing when watching TV: "Men don't want to know wha... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, With my NOS B&O MMC1, in the same original box, there is an NOS B&O adapter which makes it possible to use the cartridge on non P-mount tonearms, like almost every tonearm except the ones made by B&O. The pins are very thin, whi... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond As for me, as much as I love both of my audio systems, nothing does it quite like live music. So last night I went down to Blues Alley in Georgetown (DC) to catch the late show of the Cyrus Chestnut Trio. For those who don't know, Cyrus is a jaz... | |
| Question regarding the EAR 834P... Come to think of it, I do this too. I have two turntables set up in proximity to my Atma MP1, and I routinely switch the input cables to the phono section. The drawback is that you cannot casually switch back and forth. The DSA Phono2 is a grea... |
