| Planars/ Electrostats benefits over box speakers? But when talking about "waveform launch", its important to note that other than in an anechoic chamber, the surroundings/room plays a very significant role.I tend to find that when a good speaker of each unique type is set up well, with room acous... | |
| Planars/ Electrostats benefits over box speakers? "A major difference is the "waveform Launch" of a big Magnepan Vs a cone speaker!"That is a common difference.The difference between a wide range omni and either planar or cone speakers is even greater. Some will love it and never look back. Other... | |
| which sub to get You may only need one sub but it depends. It is a practical compromise though. Two are really needed for optimal results in all regards from a sweet spot. That's why any full range stereo speaker has woofers. 4 even maybe if you want the right bas... | |
| How important is a good rack? "So Mapman what your saying is if your turntable is on the top shelf the closer it is to the ground helps with vibration?"Yes. Lower for turntable is easiest to provide the desired solid foundation. The higher up the harder it is.The thing is with... | |
| How important is a good rack? Matters most for mechanical devices like turntables and speakers and disc players to a lesser extent. Much less so for amplification equipment You knew the Kate Upton comments were coming. Obviously hers is quite important to her and advertisers. ... | |
| Using solid copper Door Bell wire as speaker wire. Al, you read my minds on that one!!!!The difference is cheap tweaks are well cheap and less risky.Expensive tweaks are well expensive and hence more risky unless one is certain of the results beforehand, which is often NOT the case.

| Catchy tunes that sound great? Help. I am obsessed with Tsunami. I've played it repeatedly over the last few days. Someone should score an orchestrated version. | |

I've never had a rust problem Even with my outdoor patio speakers whose wood finish is practically gone after many years but still sound great. Not wor... | |
| Using solid copper Door Bell wire as speaker wire. Two threads...better than one? 👀 | |
| Planars/ Electrostats benefits over box speakers? Zd what's behind the speakers and distance to it certainly matters and worth tweaking for owners but I've moved on to omnis and not looking back anymore | |
| Shindo Aurieges and Bel Canto M1000 There is likely no technical reason why they are not a good match. Whether one likes the results is a different story. If one likes Shindo then most likely more Shindo or similar tube amp will be preferred. And of course the speakers used will be ... | |
| Why are records still warped? Warped records used to be a problem for me with various Japanese and European tables until I started with the Linn Axis back in the mid-80s. It tracks almost everything silently. Have had no casue for concern though I know my records cannot be any... | |
| Glenn Campbell - new found respect He's using both sides but is just a little prejudiced. :^) | |
| The End Of Big Iron? BCgator,I am always looking at what I would buy next for whatever reason. I always find so many great options that I think will sound really good that it makes it hard to decide. In the end, I find I save money as a result of indecision. if the st... |
