| Looking for the Honda S2000 of turntables Elizabeth - I hope your car tracks better than you do. The topic of this thread is turntables. | |
| Well Tempered Classic or Technics SP10Mk2 I replaced my Well-Temprered Reference Table after 12 years of believing it was irreplaceable. The replacement was a used Technics SL-1000 MK II. That's the SP-10 in obsidian base with the EPA-100 MK II tonearm. There was no comparison. The Techni... | |
| Looking for the Honda S2000 of turntables Shrevie - Here's my read on what you are saying. You want good performance and impeccable reliability. You would be happy to have wold class performance but don't want to pay for it in time, money or effort. Therefore, you willingly accept a compr... | |
| Why not horns? Herman - Thanks, I needed that. Polarity and phase are different topics with different remedies. And polarity is fairly easy to diagnose and remedy. How about phase problems? What are the causes? How do you diagnose phase problems and how do you f... | |
| Why not horns? Time aligned and in-phase are different issues. All of the drivers in a speaker could be mounted with their voice coils in the same vertical plane (time aligned) while one of the drivers is wired out of phase. So time alignment deals with physical... | |
| Why not horns? I'm surprised there was no comment about the link I provided for a small DIY Tapped Horn design that is said to reach 25 Hz. in room. It's footprint is about 7 inches by 20 inches and it stands 30 inches tall. Here's the link again:http://www.tech... | |
| Why not horns? You've been told repeatedly in this thread that true bass horns are unwieldy and that most of us have some sort of hybrid with bass reflex cabinet and midrange horn. The irony may lie in you insisting that horns are not for you over and over and o... | |
| Why not horns? Dan - I can hardly fault you for being an analogue purist but please keep in mind that everything in audio demands compromise. To my way of thinking the benefits and convenience introduced by digital processing outweigh the theoretical advantages ... | |
| Why not horns? I was hoping to solicit input from people who know and understand the parameters of horn design. Since we aren't hearing from them, I'll stick my neck out and mention a few things I think I know about the subject. If nothing else maybe we'll learn... | |
| Why not horns? Johnk - Since you know what you are talking about, it would be helpful if you would explain your points rather than just issuing pronouncements that people like me cannot understand. Why would a front loaded bass horn need to be 25 x 25? Why is th... | |
| Why not horns? Many people today are unable to differentiate between what they actually know and what they have chosen to believe. Experience draws a bright line between these two opposites. | |
| Why not horns? Let's not be adversarial about this. Any speaker is a legitimate option. Horns are being rediscovered after years in P.A. oblivion. The process has been slow because of bias born of popular myth and actual poor performance. Now there are legitimat... | |
| Why not horns? I just read my above post and discovered some very poor wording. I said that Duke and Jonathan are manufacturers of small scale loudspeakers. What I should have indicated is that they are limited production, not small scale. From what I've read, t... | |
| Why not horns? The above two posts come from two of the leading lights in American loudspeaker development. Both refer to Bill Woods of Acoustic Horn Company in Hastings, Ontario. Even though I own and love his horns I was unaware that Bill stands alone in horn ... | |
| Why not horns? Proselytizing? Me? Well, perhaps I am. But I'm not twisting arms or pushing anyone. I don't care if you don't like horns. I just notice that there are people out there who would argue passionately about the enormous difference between power cords ... |
