| Springs under turntable Bobby1945, in that situation the springs are not isolating the speakers or the floor from anything. It is a concrete floor. The speakers should be solidly on the floor with the midrange drivers at ear level by whatever means looks best to you. It ... | |
| Cartridge options going forward mtwilke, Your tonearm is just fine for any middle to low compliance cartridge. In their literature Lyra was referring to uni pivot arms which are not OK. Your's is a knife edge bearing which has absolutely no torsional instability. Unless you have... | |
| Am I asking too much? Setting up a cartridge is not hard at all and it would benefit you to learn. If you can use a tiny screwdriver and tweezers you are all set. For what you will spend to have it installed you can buy the appropriate tools. If you need assistance I a... | |
| Am I asking too much? mdalton, I'm late in the game here but tell us what length and which arm wand do you have? This will determine which cartridges are appropriate for your arm. The 3P has arm wands available made of various density woods. For more compliant cartridg... | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world Rix, I would forget about open baffle subwoofers. Hold on to your opposed driver balanced force design. Work on creating a very stiff, heavy enclosure design of the right size to support the two drivers. What is the stiffest enclosure shape you co... | |
| ls possible to make digital audio sound like analog/vinyl Uberwaltz, I thought that was 999. | |
| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings ymmv, as I said above I have only heard ESLs get massed violins right. Dynamic drives are incapable of doing this correctly because of cross overs and dispersion characteristics. Some ribbon speakers can almost get it right but you still have to d... | |
| share 2 CH speakers with HT set up or use separate speakers for front end of a 7.2 HT? I use my 2 channel set up for TV and theater every day. I only get positive comments on the sound. It is a very big system with 4 subwoofers but I have no rear channels and do not feel the need for them. | |
| Seas Thors New Xovers Madisound Looks like a lot of fun mozartfan. Great job!I would like to make two comments. Your room has too much echo. You need to do some damping. Once you finish with these build some subwoofers and you will really be rocking!! | |
| ls possible to make digital audio sound like analog/vinyl Can any body but me comment on guitarsam's last comment? | |
| Looking for tonearm inspiration Can anybody translate Raul's last post for me? Just the first paragraph.I got the last paragraph. He is saying even if a tonearm and cartridge are set up correctly you still need a damping device.OK Raul, Why do you still need a damping device in ... | |
| Springs under turntable indranilson, you are certainly spending less than a MinuK platform which is no piece of cake to set up either. You have to move the turntable around on it to get it to balance right. Turntables never come with an arrow pointed at their center of m... | |
| Looking for tonearm inspiration I'm right here Raul trying to decipher what you just wrote. Lets see if I get this right. According to you, if a system's (including the room) bass performance is not correct the entire system will sound bad and if a tonearm is not damped bass per... | |
| Cartridge options going forward Thanx Chakster. Always send your cartridge back to the original manufacturer if you want to be assured of the cartridges performance. In the case of the Lyra it can even be upgraded. Like mtwilke I hate being without a working turntable. Having a... | |
| ls possible to make digital audio sound like analog/vinyl guitarsam, of course you can tell the difference. The analog (vinyl) has noise and the digital does not. Your 33 Hz signal is just noise replicating the rumble that you have on records. It is a personal theory of mine that the background noise doe... |
