| Compact Floor-standing Speaker Recommendations under $4k @dsjs4 , This is an extremely common problem. Most point source systems have to one degree or another. They are blasting high frequencies throughout the room creating a lot of sibilance. The most likely problem is your room. Many people totally i... | |
| Focal’s heart grew three sizes that day @mofojo This is what a class A amp with a huge power supply does. I would not own any other type of amp even if I had efficient loudspeakers which I do not. I had Krell KMA 100s back in the early 80s and boy did they ever kick ass. I never looked ... | |
| Concrete Slabs @dogberry , you would gain absolutely nothing. Concrete slabs might protect you from foot fall problems, which you do not have, but they will not protect you from environmental rumble, only a well suspended turntable will do that. | |
| VPI noise problem @stringreen , If you are hearing bearing noise through the cartridge and speakers, which it appears you are, the bearing is trash. This means that both the bearing and platter have to be replaced. You might as well buy a new turntable. Next time d... | |
| Cadenza Bronze on a Fatboy @travisg , "Am I in trouble?" Did you shim the height of the Wall Reference to match the height of the mating surface of the cartridge from the record with the stylus in the groove with proper VTF set? If so than as long as the Wally Reference sit... | |
| VPI noise problem @rpeluso "Only occurs when the cartridge is on the record." ?? I am not so sure @clearthinker is a jerk. @stringreen Did you also lube the cartridge? | |
| All Stocked Up and Nowhere To Play I guess it's a great way to sequester carbon. The T shirt industry might learn from this. | |
| Fritz Speakers First of all, since my days with the Rogers LS3 5A I love little loudspeakers. If well designed they do 75% of the spectrum better than most larger system under one condition. You hand that bottom 25% to a subwoofer and use a two way crossover pr... | |
| Bang for the buck Harbeth or Falcon BBC mini monitors on stands with subwoofers and digital bass management. | |
| Reference System TT - Dr. Feickert Analogue or Sota @lewm , Not on me though. I obviously have no idea what I am talking about and I have a big mouth. I also love pissing people off particularly LP12 junkies. | |
| Tonearms without anti-skate, damage to records? @fusian Nonsense! I have three beers everyday:-) | |
| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? @jjss49 , You may have missed my point. Even the largest Wilson has one little tweeter, no different than a Harbeth P3. Once you turn it's little woofer into a midrange driver by removing the bass the speaker will go just as loud as the largest Wi... | |
| How to clean Karat 17D3 stylus? They make special stylus brushes you use wiping back to front. These are usually used dry. I do not care for them myself. I use inexpensive artist brushes. I clip the bristles about 1/2 way to stiffen them up a bit. You can dampen the brush with d... | |
| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? @jjss49 , great systems will reproduce them all. There is nothing wrong with Wilsons other than the price and a few questionable building practice's. I personally prefer Magicos because they are most definitely better made. The sound is remarkab... | |
| Do 5-pole DIN tonearm connectors deteriorate the sound? @lewm . Isn't your BMC balanced? I can not separate having a current mode phono stage from running balanced as they happened together. There is no question to my ears that the combination of the two is distinctly better especially when it comes t... |
