| Implications of vinyl on musical trends? @ghdprentice 1+ If anything it is vinyl that limits music, to about 20 minutes a side. Since the onset of CDs albums have become longer resulting in a lot of three sided albums when converted to analog. The problem with todays music is that the... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? SET amplifiers are about as silly as cable elevators. | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? @phusis , horns are a very alluring proposition. They are efficient and there is no question they can play louder than any other type of system with low levels of distortion. You can also control the radiation pattern to limit room interaction, an... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? @charles1dad , Yes, realism could be the final goal. How do you get to realism? How realistic can you get? Many of us do not even think about realistic. It is viewed as an unrealistic goal. Not true at all. Given the right recording a system can s... | |
| Lyra Cartridges @rsf507 yes, it is the MSL. Since I also got a new phono stage at the same time it is difficult for me to determine what is due only to the cartridge. I can say that tracking is not an issue and construction quality is up there with the best I hav... | |
| How many plays can you get out of a good record? Under the best of circumstances, quite a few. The best of circumstances are not common. The best of circumstances is a clean dust free record played with a perfectly oriented modern line contact stylus that has been polished to the highest standar... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? @charles1dad , ESLs do not necessarily require large SS amplifiers. You can also use a large tube amp like the Atma-Sphere MA 2. The difference between my own personal way of thinking about this is simple, There is accuracy and there is "taste."... | |

| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? @johnnycamp5 , Then I guess you need more experience and I am not trying to be harsh. I really mean it. I went through life as an inexperience audiophile for decades. Then I got involved in the business directly and was exposed to hundreds of syst... | |
| NEW DUST COVER CARE AND CLEANING @juanmanuelfangioii , then why the comment "throw it out"? | |
| Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito What a fabulous....intervention. What I do not understand is why the article did not mention that the vast majority of records are now recorded in digital. Only records recorded before 1981 are sure to be analog. MoFi is guilty of misrepresenta... | |
| NEW DUST COVER CARE AND CLEANING @stringreen , and I suppose you wear your underwear for a week. Proper dust covers certainly keep dust off delicate mechanical devices and mounted correcting to an isolated turntable closed dust covers actually IMPROVE the performance of a system ... | |
| Lyra Cartridges @rauliruegas , where have you been? I was starting to get worried about you! I got the Seta yesterday! The only cartridge that has arrived so far is the Platinum Signature. The MC Diamond and Atlas SL are still in limbo somewhere. | |
| Linn LP 12 You would be far better off getting a new turntable. You don't realize how bad the LP 12 is until you replace it with a good one form SME, Basis, Avid, Dohmann or Sota. | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? The best performance comes from electrostatic speakers. They are generally mid efficiency speakers but are very amps sensitive and owner sensitive. Otherwise it is 6 of one 1/2 dozen of the other. The best performance I have heard come out of dyna... |
