| Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance. Atma-Sphere, I will never ride a bike with anything but Campy on it. That Jap stuff is cheap overweight crap. It only worked better if you did not know how to shift. My current bike is a Specialized S works Diverge with Campy Super Record 12 spee... | |
| Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance. Wow, this is certainly spinning around. Lewm, in order to support myself in medical school I was a Hi Fi salesman at a store called Luskin's Hi FI in Miami, FL. It was a discount box store and volume was the key. On the side I installed systems in... | |
| MP150 or MP200 mcmvmx, You are right. Your arm is to light for the Nagaoka as it stand but, you can add mass to the tonearm. There are head shell weights and special screws of various masses. I always have to tune my arm a little to get it just right. I feel the... | |
| Proteus compared to MSL ultra eminent ex yeti42, assuming that the SPU's stylus is OK to run at 3 grams because it has a different shape is a mistake. I do not know what the difference in record wear is but it is certainly higher than the Proteus. You have a wonderful arm but it is too l... | |
| Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance. Yes lewm, no matter how hard I try I can not warm up to Techdas tables. There is just too much filigree. They are beautifully made but more complicated than they have to be and complexity buys unreliability. For that kind of money I expect a turnt... | |
| Bi-wire speakers and bi-wire cables? You can but it defeats the purpose of the experiment. Assuming that your speaker wires are of adequate gauge to begin with there is no advantage in bi wiring. Bass generally requires more current which requires thicker wire. It is actually better... | |
| Concrete Audio Speakers...Speaker Enclosures made out of Concrete ?.. YUK!!! It's a squished Tekton Moab! 21st century Bose 901?I have heard of concrete subwoofers. The enclosure was poured in the basement and the drivers mounted in the floor. It was an infinite baffle design. Theoretically it should work! | |
| Best cab for Tannoy 12" broockies, the way to go would be a tal,l narrow transmission line enclosure. I saw a design in a you tube video that was very clever. Google You tube transmission line speaker and you should come up with it. It would be like using two 12 inch dri... | |
| Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance. Chakster, take it easy. It is already obvious that you and I occupy alternative realities. I said your logic was faulty in that you can not compare cutting a record to playing one back as the parameter are substantially different. Yes, there are l... | |
| Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance. Atma-Sphere, I have this nagging itch that tells me it is the "less money"part that is most significant here. Now, I have not had a recent direct drive in my system for comparison's sake and to be real It would have to have the same tonearm and ca... | |
| Upgrade to my system - Speakers maybe Here you go sunujing, https://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2020/04/13/klipsch-cornwall-iv-speaker-review-the-gentle-giant/These speakers are very efficient, sound great and as an added benefit sound just fine right up against the wall, maybe even bett... | |
| Vintage Krell I had KMA 100's, same vintage and design as the KSA 200's. They were fabulous sounding amps. After twenty carefree years one of the output stages let go. It is what happens to full bore Class A amps. Semiconductors may be more tolerant of heat now... | |
| Should a reference speaker be neutral, or just great sounding? Erik, "reference" is just a marketing term. Marketing should mean absolutely nothing to everyone. With enough experience and technical information, along with knowing what one likes to listen to, you can evaluate a speaker based on it's design and... | |
| Are these Speakers the BEST on Planet Earth ?... Not even close. | |
| How often do you have to service your Studer or Otari deck ? Home not pro environment. Anybody have any experience with a Ballfinger deck? |
