| Sub output: Is it the woofer size or the rated RMS Almarg outlined the issues well I would say. | |
| Brick or Carpet? The reasoning is brick and other similar solid materials are less prone to static electricity and other electrical or magnetic disturbances than carpet. | |
| Linn LP-12 still competitive with the very best? Redhunter,I have an old Goldring cart of some kind on my old Dual 1264 on my second 2 channel a/v system and it too sounds really good in particular with the phono stage on the vintage Yamaha cr-420 receiver I have been using of late. Prior to the... | |
| Denon DL 103R vs. AT OC9 - MLII Rob, Yes, I took a small chance with the DL103R based on what I read about it and the price, but it paid off in spades. I will probably never leave this cartridge. Just goes to show that you never know for sure until you listen.There are also simp... | |
| Live with A Hum vs. Buy An Outboard Phono Stage You may have a different problem yet this site provides some potentially useful shielding and measurement solutions.http://www.lessemf.com/mag-shld.html | |
| Glass Shelf under CD Player or not? It would surprise me if you hear a difference with or without the glass in this case. Try it and see.In general, though, glass is generally quite capable of transmitting vibrations at higher frequencies and I am not fond of it as a material that l... | |
| Pro's/Con's Of audiophile TT Thorens used to make a portable, stick-on auto arm lift device for 10-20 dollars or so. I put on on my manual table back in the 80's and it continues to operate without error to this day (look at the pic of the Linn Axis table in my system and you... | |
| Are There Any Good, High Power Solid State Amps? Short answer is yes.Ones that rate highly on my personal list are Pass, Blue Circle, Bryston, and various class Ds including Rowland, Bel Canto and a host of others. | |
| What have you discovered while downsizing? Since overall system synergy is more of a determining factor for good sound than is just $$$$s alone, I believe it is always possible to downsize and end up with a very fine and highly competitive yet totally different system. | |
| Denon DL 103R vs. AT OC9 - MLII I'm using a DL103R on a Linn Basik arm on a Linn Axis table.On paper, the Basik appears to be a tad light for the DL103R, but in practice, the fact is the sound is quite excellent and the best I have ever managed out of the Linn Axis table, smooth... | |
| DAC in a simple system? If you really want to hear a difference in that price range, try a tube dac. | |
| Brick or Carpet? Brick is preferable. | |
| Live with A Hum vs. Buy An Outboard Phono Stage Have you tried physically moving the pre-amp with the phono stage around to see if the hum level changes with location?If so, it is inductance hum from some nearby power transformer, possibly in power amp or other component(s) or other external so... | |
| Which DAC has a deep wide sound ? I'd say the mhdt Paradisea is both deep and wide. | |
| Pioneer Elite vs. Pioneer "Standard" Kuro Plasmas I have a 50" standard Pioneer plasma.I think it has one of the best pictures I have seen. The Elites are probably even better, but for me, there is little added value. So I would have to agree with Iplaynaked. |
