| High Compliance Cartridge With Low/Med Mass Tone Arm That calculator can be incorrect because there is a lot of variance involved. It is always best to measure the resonance frequency directly with a test record. As @lewm suggests 7 Hz is not all that bad. It is better to be lower than higher. If yo... | |
| Advice for mounting a TT shelf on a wall Placing a turntable on a load bearing wall shelf will help deal with foot fall issues and some other low frequency events but it will not isolate the turntable and might possibly make things worse depending on the design of the turntable. A wall i... | |
| Playing with Cartirdge loading on my phono stage @jemmer01 , flip through the values and you tell us. The manufacturers usually know their own products best. I always stick with their recommendation. You will not notice much when you play around. | |
| K-horn won't fit, any other corner speakers recommended for a big room? @speed005 , It is not rocket science. After you have set up enough systems in crippled situations you get the hang of it. The Adagio are a great speaker. It is not easy to design transmission lines. However, they are not the most efficient speake... | |
| Does upgrading you system have to be on a logarithmic curve? It does not work this way at all. The single biggest sonic improvement anyone can make to ANY system cost $300. This https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-OmniMic-V2-Acoustic-Measurement-System-390-792 | |
| OK...here's another tweak that really works @brauser , you have a very impressionable brain. You should start attending seances. | |
| K-horn won't fit, any other corner speakers recommended for a big room? @speed005 , A system in that room will always be for background music. There is no way you will get anything close to acceptable performance in a room like that especially with that kind of speaker placement. Having said that you can stick any spe... | |
| Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2? The M2 is a great dynamic loudspeaker and buying demo units is a great way to save money as you get the factory warranty. However, $50,000 is still a lot of money to spend on loudspeakers and there are better speakers for that kind of money. They ... | |
| Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito MoFi is no more guilty of an ethical breach than any other advertiser. They all lie. The pharmaceutical industry is addicted to this game. | |
| Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito This will never get to court. As a case this is not worth the time of day because the financial damage done to any one individual is minute. The reward for staging a class action suite would not be worth a law firms time and effort. Some fly by ni... | |
| cartridge retipping @rauliruegas, @nandric After having looked at a bunch of styluses I have come to the conclusion that the styluses of the most expensive cartridges are being hand selected. The diamonds appear to be cleaner and have better shape and polish. This ... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? @charles1dad , dogmatic maybe, presumptuous, not at all. What you are listening to is a study in colored inaccuracy. You can like it all you want but calling it accurate is a big stretch. | |
| Low Frequency Rumble from TT between songs @dhcod , that is all fluffy subjective garbage. What I am trying to impress people like dhcod with is this is not subjective, it's what I like to hear stuff. That is an excuse to validate inferior equipment. There is accurate reproduction and th... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? @charles1dad , I said "FEEL" like you are in a small Jazz club. I hate to be a stick in the mud but forgetting about SET, amps higher powered amplifiers have trouble getting low bass right. If you thick a SET amp can get even close you and I live ... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? @phusis we have to disagree about something. Try driving an ESL with a SET amp. Do I smell something burning? You can get good sound with passive systems and I have heard one passive system that got very close to the absolute sound but, you can t... |
