| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 , the absolute best place for a sub woofer is on the floor in a corner. The next best place is on the floor against a wall. You are sort of horn loading the sub. The only problem is time alignment which can be easily taken care of digitally... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear , My system is really very simple. I have a digital preamp that takes digital inputs from a universal disc player, the TV box and a Lynx Hilo. Connected to the Hilo is my phono stage, an Apple Mini, the Apple TV box and the Sonos conn... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear , That is a more intelligent design, the cylindrical enclosure in particular. It still has problems but it is much better than the stuff you see from Rel, ML and just about everyone else. Here is what I do not like. You can hand it a ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear , I have a complete digital workstation and have complete control over everything. It will tell me the exact timing errors of every group. Everything is on a simple wireless network. Only important equipment is hardwired. It seem to b... | |
| Has anyone listened to or auditioned Verity's new Arindale speaker ? @havocman , I have only listened to S and Q series speakers so I can not comment about A series. Build quality is easy to determine. You can see it, even in a photograph to an extent. Sonic quality is another issue. You can not rely on what anyon... | |
| Tone arm holder fell off @fuzztone , I am not so sure about that. There have been quite a few complaints here on Audiogon. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @phusis , It seems like we are pretty much on the same page. | |
| Has anyone listened to or auditioned Verity's new Arindale speaker ? @soix , $675,000 is overpriced. I prefer Sonus Faber just based on construction quality. You get more for your money. If you like Verity loudspeakers by all means get yourself a pair. | |
| Has anyone listened to or auditioned Verity's new Arindale speaker ? @roxy54 , Thicker veneers will snap if you try to bend them across the grain. In order to make them pliable enough they have to make the veneer tissue thin and laminate it to something with more tensile strength. In most cases this is a cheese clo... | |
| When is the golden age of high-end audio? For Pete's sake, it is just a Stereo. A collection of minerals and wood. Then there is the business end. Is there an age when humans did not use any method open to them to extract money from other people? I think not. The beauty inherent in music ... | |
| Has anyone listened to or auditioned Verity's new Arindale speaker ? Interesting company. Their Monsalvant is a very sophisticated speaker. Unfortunately their products qualify as "Luxury" audio and are severely overpriced. the Arindals are around $40,000. The Monsalvants are $675,000. Although they are cool loudsp... | |
| Sumiko Flux Buster Demagnetizer @lewm I think that is a much more likely explanation. Rubber will take a set as you know from car tires. Demagnetization (which we use to do all the time for tape heads) requires use of a demagnetizer. This is a device that generates a very strong... | |
| Stereo cartrdge now playing mono!! @lewm , isn't that something. I can't count the number of times I did something thinking it sounded better only to realize it did not. Expectation bias? OP, you need to try another cartridge. If it works fine the Hana has shorted out. Please chec... | |
| What's your favorite $5-7000 turntable? Sota Nova Vacuum by a country mile. You can put it anywhere and it could care less. Don't forget to get it with a dust cover. You have to weight your tonearm with cartridge mounted but leave the cable off the scale. Sota will need this weight to m... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 , they are straight analog. Measurements is someone else's room does you no good. The measurements have to be taken in your room. Analog crossovers are distinctly inferior to digital ones. The ultimate approach is to have digital crossovers... |
