| Springs under turntable Cleeds, yes I read tea leaves but most importantly systems like mine are obviously very rare at this point. Few understand the basic issues involved so I am left waving the flag by myself. Which is ok by me. Anyone can ridicule me all they want. U... | |
| Is there measurement that correlates with cohesive/pinpoint imaging? There are predictors of great imaging. The first is avoidance of cross overs and phase aberrations. The second is that both sides have identical frequency response curves. This one is tough, No two speakers are exactly alike but then you put them... | |
| Rogue Audio Sphinx V3 msafrick, I share mjcmt's concern about a Class D output stage. I think the tube front end covers for the output stage. Never trust the reviews completely. I would want to listen to it first. Compare it to a unit with a class AB or A output stage ... | |
| Springs under turntable indranilsen, The MinusK platform is not that hard to use. You move the turntable around on it until each corner of the platform compresses the same distance. It takes about 15 minutes to get it right. When you order the platform it is made for the... | |
| Springs under turntable twoleftears, 800 volts and 250 amps and you should be in great shape.Lewm, you and none of those other people obviously have not heard a system like this. I would love to have you over for a quick demonstration and don't forget I am a fellow ESL l... | |
| Springs under turntable Lewm, you have no idea what you are missing. The really good units like My TacT and the Trinnov Amethyst do all their processing at 192 hz 48 bitIt is totally transparent. The power of these units is amazing. You not only get automated room contro... | |
| Springs under turntable Uberwaltz, you measure it! Check out this https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-omnimic-v2-acoustic-measurement-system--390-792. My room control system essentially does the same thing. It measures each individual speaker. The frequency respo... | |
| Springs under turntable I made a big mistake. It is not a resonance frequency I was talking about above but the energy or power required to move the concrete. If you could pluck the cables holding up those concrete slabs the frequency would be very high because the cable... | |
| Springs under turntable Lewm, exactly right. The springs have to have the exact same rate and they have to be located exactly the same distance from the center of mass. Unfortunately, this is not so easy to find without harming the turntable. The result is that is is ext... | |
| Springs under turntable Yes Uberwaltz, you are right but the resonance frequency of the suspended units is so low. In Boston after the Big Dig a concrete paneled ceiling in one of the tunnels broke and collapsed on a car killing I think it was two people. Traffic though ... | |
| Woofer pumping possibly due to tube amp when playing vinyl I guess I should read more carefully. You have already done that.Look at the pumping, irregular or confined to a certain frequency. If it is irregular we are back to subwoofer, filters and caps.My subwoofers are corrected which means certain frequ... | |
| Woofer pumping possibly due to tube amp when playing vinyl Cleeds, the problem is your room is not flat down to 20Hz. It is easier and safer to correct a subwoofer than a full range system without overloading either the speaker or the amp. Last Lemming, just for fun try moving your rack three feet. Changi... | |
| Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store Then you cut off your nose to spite your face. I'm sure there is an item or two you could use that the store carries. If you do not like the amps just buy one of those items. On returning the amps the dealer has to check them out and clean off any... | |
| Speakers hung from ceiling on aircraft cable. David, I did this with a pair of open baffle speakers I made for a friend.It worked wonderfully however I crossed to a subwoofer at 80 Hz. TheSpeakers also weighed 20 lb each. The LS 50's are not very big and they do not go very low down. I suspec... | |
| How do you know when an LP is a first or early pressing? mglik, it can go either way. Although the masters may be better back in time popular records often got cut short in pressing quality. A good master with top notch modern pressing technique and premium vinyl can yield a superior result. This does n... |
