| Most high-quality loudspeakers are 4-Ohms Preposterous generalization. Do left-handed tennis players make better soup? | |
| How do you drive 12 Ohm speakers? Perfect for OTL tube amps. Ask Ralph. | |
| Active Speaker Recommendation These are in a class by themselves. http://store.nhthifi.com/M-00-Powered-Mini-monitor?sc=12&category=1213 | |
| Inverted Amplifiers You can tell that an amplifier is inverted if the feet are on top and the lettering on the front is upside down. | |
| A/B and D class Amps What's the Difference I think the D stands for diesel. | |
| Technics SP-10 Tonearm Pod instead of Plinth/Base Lewm - You raise an important question. Supply and demand will certainly dictate the value of these devices. Right now interest is fairly high because the tables are sorta scarce relative to the number of us who think we want one. As we leave the ... | |
| Technics SP-10 Tonearm Pod instead of Plinth/Base Business is all about returns and there is simply too little upside to justify the necessary outlay. Kevin at KAB told me that the motor is what keeps the SP-10 performance beyond the reach of anything that could be done to improve the 1200.You ha... | |
| Technics SP-10 Tonearm Pod instead of Plinth/Base The SP-10 MK 4 would have to sell for $20,000 or much more and would therefore only sell a couple thousand units at best. Companies like Panasonic are not interested in offering products with such limited appeal.The original high end tables were s... | |
| Technics SP-10 Tonearm Pod instead of Plinth/Base Thank you, Jonathan. Any idea when Ferrari will be introducing their Direct Drive? | |
| Technics SP-10 Tonearm Pod instead of Plinth/Base Thanks, Weisselk, but it's too expensive for me even with the waterjet technology. By the way, are you related to Black Elk? | |
| Bass rant It speaks to our modern business plan. Nobody is trying to make a better mousetrap. The focus is on making a better selling mousetrap. The American consumer has conditioned American manufacturers to believe that they needn't make it better --- all... | |
| Technics SP-10 Tonearm Pod instead of Plinth/Base Thanks, Lewm. It really is that simple, isn't it? This whole audio thing seems to be fueled by a self-conscious dissatisfaction. Why are we never happy for long? Why the drive for more, more, more always? Lately I've come to believe that we are tr... | |
| Technics SP-10 Tonearm Pod instead of Plinth/Base Mine just says SL-1000 MK II on the back but I think it must be an SH-10B3 according to your description. If mass is the key, perhaps I should just remove the feet and bolt it to the credenza on which it sits. That would add at least a couple of h... | |
| Bass rant Ethanh - You won't have to pony up much because older designs that feature the design characteristics you outline are not much in demand. I used an old pair of JBL L-200 speakers as my woofer section. These can be found for $1000 to $1200 per pair... | |
| Bass rant As I have said many times before, once home theater became popular, the emphasis in audio shifted from music to sound effects. Doesn't that explain what's going on? Marakanetz - If you had used your Stereophile test CD, you could have determined t... |
