| SEAS Excel Magnesium Midwoofer 51/2 inches ROCK SOLID BASS Seas makes excellent drivers and I do believe they make subwoofer drivers. | |
| SEAS Excel Magnesium Midwoofer 51/2 inches ROCK SOLID BASS mozartfan, you can not beat physics. A small cone is not going to project low frequencies well without forcing it which will just increase distortion as the suspension gets to the limits of it's excursion. Big drivers do not have to move as far de... | |
| MC Cartridge suggestions for oracle Delphi and sme IV Easy choice Jake. Go with the Lyra and you will never look back. Word of caution. The SME is a fairly light arm with an effective mass of 10 grams. That is too light for any of these cartridges. To get the best bass performance you will probably h... | |
| Looking for tonearm inspiration All that is nice rauliruegas but you can't get an SME without a turntable now so it is a mute issue. But having handled both arms the Triplanar does have better bearings and it is a more intelligent design than any SME arm. The vertical bearing is... | |
| Rebuild or new cartridge with my zeta tonearm I'm going to agree with Chakster on this one. I would never buy one and I have never had a cartridge re tipped. There is always the desire to try something new.Elliot if you read the specs on Ortofons they do not look particularly great but severa... | |
| Why Do 12" Tonearms Cost So Much More Than 9"? Lewm, The brilliance of the LT is that it is using the energy from groove friction to drive the arm! Friction pulls the horizontal bearing platform forward and a magnet underneath makes sure it maintains the right position. Uberwaltz, I am not ent... | |
| Looking for tonearm inspiration chilli42, leave all that other junk behind and get yourself a Schroder LT. If you can't afford that one I suggest the Schroder CB. Otherwise the Triplanar , 4 point and Reed arms are excellent followed by Origin Live arms. SME's are no longer avai... | |
| how to eliminate air-born RF As for RFI, keep all your cables as short as possible and use shielded power cords. They should be three conductor plus shield. The shield should be connected to the male end only. The best way to make sure thi is the case is to make your own whic... | |
| how to eliminate air-born RF If I understand this correctly the hum still exists with the mains breaker is off = no power at all to the house. What we have here is a case of tinnitus. | |
| marble or granite slab under floorstanders? Clearthinker, doesn't matter how much mass you put under a turntable. It will still pick up all kinds of crap. The only adequate solution is a well suspended turntable (SOTA, BASIS, SME, Dohmann) or a MinusK platform. Electron microscopes directly... | |
| Path of signal from turn table to speaker Well no Chakster not quite nonsense. Controversial maybe. My system is digitally controlled. I use full spectrum room control, frequency response alterations and digital bass management. This is all done in 48/192.In order to use my turntables in ... | |
| Rebuild or new cartridge with my zeta tonearm tzh, the Delos is well over birdfan's budget. Birdfan, All of my cartridges save one are LOMC. I do believe, actually I know you would be better off with a MM cartridges than an inexpensive MC cartridge. The Clearaudio Performer V2 fits the bill p... | |
| Focal 1028BE2's or Tekton Moab Towers Absolutely the Focals . It is the difference between a Dodge Charger and a Porsche 911. | |
| Isolation Recommendations: To Couple and Decouple? Couple the basic structure to the floor then float the shelves on something like Stillpoints. Use glass or granite for the shelves. Check out Grand Prix Audio. They do it right. | |
| New analog rig(t.t.,tonearm,phono drive) Vinylshadow, If you get the Cosmos in something like Macasar Ebony it is very handsome. I would not get the Millennium as it is not as well isolated and it is not as nice to use. The Cosmos has a beautiful hinged dust cover that is isolated from t... |
