| Sub Confusion @thebingster , There is no such thing as overkill, only underkill. If you can fit larger subwoofers go for them. You are right on about removing the bass from your main speakers. You will lower distortion and increase headroom. You will however ... | |
| Beware of scam listings - users now have positive feedback. THANX! | |
| Talking about service! I posted it as an FYI. I have no interest in Soundsmith other than I own one. For people buy expensive little things it is comforting to know that a manufacturer stands by it's products and even after the warranty is up it will still cover manufac... | |
| Lyra Cartridges @vinylzone , I ordered a Lyra Atlas Lambda SL about 6 weeks ago. As far as I know they will upgrade cartridges to the current level of performance for a price. Some dealers like Elusive Disc and Upscale Audio have trade in programs but not Lyra d... | |
| Talking about service! @mammothguy54 , Thank You. | |
| Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable @ghdprentice , While it is true that Sota had some production difficulties due to Covid and their revised Condor controller has a programing issue the Sota Sapphire still is significantly better than the LP12. If you go to the Nova with Vacuum you... | |
| Talking about service! In the above post The picture above is supposed to say "above is not of very high magnification." | |
| Talking about service! @mammothguy54 , good choice. The Sussurro is more accurate and tracks better. I have not looked at the Umami Red Stylus but I have only seen one stylus that was polished better than the Soundmith (the Sussurro and Voice use the exact same stylus a... | |
| What does Q mean in speaker specifications? @petaluman 1++. This is very important for the design of sealed enclosure subwoofers. For the reasons petalumen explains, ported subs are inherently very poor performers. As was also mentioned the Qtc of a sub can be easily adjusted by changing th... | |
| Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable @photomax, Sota, the first reasonably priced turntable that definitively out performed the LP 12 is still very much alive and making turntables that are better than the LP 12 and way more advanced in every way. History is littered mostly with Japa... | |
| Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable @slaw , good move. It was thoughtless and unnecessarily mean. | |
| NEW DUST COVER CARE AND CLEANING @2112oracle , Mix 1 part 99% Isopropyl alcohol with one part distilled water and pour it into a spray bottle. Spray the dust cover and wipe off with a clean microfiber cloth. NEVER use fabric softener when washing and drying your microfiber cloths... | |
| Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable @slaw, If that is impressive you have a lot of listening to do. | |
| Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable @no_regrets , you have to be kidding me. I have used them all and the LP 12 is an antique. Its days ended in 1980. As a used turntable it is decent if the price is right. You might as well go out and buy an AR XA. That turntable is way more import... | |
| Talking about service! @jond THANX! How did you do that? That is the point exactly @lewm. You can break off styluses and snap cantilevers but you should not be able to do this. Peter did not tell me what the problem was but obviously there was a construction error. M q... |
