Linear tracking vs. Pivoted tracking tone arms.
Ok, I have been had, Caterham1700 tossed in a hook that I have to nibble at...."The reason that there are so few tonearms available at its price points is because its superiority effectively crushed nearly all the competition for nearly 2 decades.... 
Linear tracking vs. Pivoted tracking tone arms.
I know I am going to be attacked big time for this, and I am not even going to defend myself, I am going to hit and run, let the insults fly as they will. I cannot begin to understand how Rega has gotten away with selling an arm with no VTA adjust... 
Witch DVD I should use as a transport
Well, I'd go with the pro, Stan Warren. Why use a copy-cat when an original will work? Not to mention that you are encouraging the theft of intellectual property when you buy from an imatator! At least that it my opinion.... I hear Dan Wright is a... 
B&W vs Thiel vs Dunlavy 6K LIST
Hi Lpim,I hear you, that is a MAJOR problem. I have heard B&W's that I know I like, but due to their setup they were COMPLETELY unimpressive. Digital speaker correction? Is that where you re-record CD's to make the B&W's time coherent?Than...

B&W vs Thiel vs Dunlavy 6K LIST
Hi S2K Dude,While I certainly hate to buy based upon others opinions, I have found that personal experiance can mislead also. I have heard B&Ws at one dealer, and I was completely unimpressed with them. I later heard them at a second dealers a...

Hi Michael,So, while the Dunlavy's are hardly sub $5,000.00 have you listened to them?Thanks,Lou 
B&W vs Thiel vs Dunlavy 6K LIST
Thanks, I have never heard a Dunlavy speaker, yet am attempting to decide wether to buy them, or forget about them. The more I hear, the more it sounds like I may end up with a pair.

Revel F-30 vs. Dunlavy Cantata vs. b w CDM 9NT
Hi Blue note,I was interested in that very thing. I went to AudioReview and read all the reviews on B&W's from 9NT to the Nautilus 803's, then the Dunlavy's, I did not check on the Revel's as there is no dealer here, and no one I know highly r... 
B&W vs Thiel vs Dunlavy 6K LIST
Hi Djbaudio,This is my question also. As you alone, thus far, have listened to all 3, I have listened to B&W's and Thiel's, you are the resident expert. :-)You say that the B&W's have excellent midrange and high-end, but seem to me to be a...

Hi Fleeceba, Stan Warren recommend doing exactly what you are doing, and knows the correct values, though you may have to get the inductance measurements for each of your drivers for best results. He says it reduces smearing, a phase related disto... 
Acoustat servo amps ??
I think Plato may be a little confused, or I do not understand what he is saying. Spectra's include 33's and 3300's, Mdl. 3's are not spectras. I have Mdl. 3's and 3300's. I am using a slightly modified Moscode 600 amp to drive them. I intend to u...
