| Looking for the Honda S2000 of turntables O.K. Sorry. I thought you were recommending that we pull the plug on this stimulating pissing contest about who sold the most turntables to which demographic at what point in history. | |
| Looking for the Honda S2000 of turntables You're outta luck, Shrevie. Tvad sees no reason to continue this discussion. | |
| Why not horns? Unsound - Horns are the least exploited speaker technology out there. They are capable of lower distortion, greater dynamic contrast and quicker response. The combination of low mass and high output allows them to provide explosive sound and minut... | |
| Why not horns? Horns have greater potential than any other approach. Designers who move into using horns do not go back unless they need the money they can make producing yet another boring rendition of the 3-way. | |
| Why not horns? All that we are talking about with horns is mechanical amplification. As with electronic amplification, it can be good or bad, clear or distorted. Would you condemn all amplifiers as honky, distorted or shrill just because you heard one that deser... | |
| Looking for the Honda S2000 of turntables Belt drive is simple. It requires no great engineering department. Most of the stuff you are considering evolved from DIY. That's not a bad thing but it is eclipsed by the engineering departments and research budgets of a major corporation like Te... | |
| Why not horns? Unsound - You have shared some very certain opinions. I think you are being asked for specifics as to how you came to form these opinions. Certainly you aren't just making this up. Where, when and which horns sounded so bad that you would condemn ... | |
| Parasound A21 If you can afford to replace the P-3 with a JC-2, you will hear a greater improvement than you will get from bi-amping or using your A-21 in mono with another one. You have plenty of power already.Also be sure the switches on your components are s... | |
| Well Tempered Classic or Technics SP10Mk2 I think it means rest and relaxation literally. My use just means rehab or repair or refurb or renew or restore or ........? | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Best peaches in the world grow right here in Palisade, Co. There's a local pride in this, of course, but this does not make it impossible to sell canned peaches in metal vessels and sugary syrup in out supermarkets. Some people actually prefer the... | |
| Well Tempered Classic or Technics SP10Mk2 bob - A couple of other comments - my WT was stethoscope quiet but theSP-10 had a much blacker background. The other change that I welcomed was the sense of precision and refinement that the Technics provided over the well-designed but decidedly R... | |
| Looking for the Honda S2000 of turntables Our OP wants to buy a turntable and use it, not turn it. His will probably not show up for sale on Audiogon. Ditto for hundreds of thousands of other users. Technics is an appliance like the Honda S2000. It does perform very well, and well beyond ... | |
| Why not horns? The last three posts seem to have wandered away from the subject of "Why Not Horns?". If there is relevance, I can't see it. The brand names you guys are offering do not offer horns as far as I know so why are they being named? If you want to say ... | |
| Looking for the Honda S2000 of turntables "Fanboy" is an insipid pejorative, the use of which generally indicates a weak intellect coupled with a mean streak and unbearable sense of inferiority. Technics has owned turntable sales all over the U.S. since the late 1970s. For reasons I am un... | |
| Well Tempered Classic or Technics SP10Mk2 I used a Denon DL 103. |
