| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Whoa, hold on here. Porschephiles drive 911's and Caymans. We tolerate the other stuff only because it gives Porsche the money to survive and make our cars. I wouldn't be caught dead driving a Panamera or one of the SUVs. Those are for people who ... | |
| Upgrade to Maggi 3.7i or Tekton Moab? No brainer. 3.7i. Tekton speakers are poorly designed and manufactured. The only reason the are popular is because the are cheep and for some reason certain audiophiles like to see a bunch of tweeters staring at them. The result is poor imaging. G... | |
| Loudness - Why has the industry stopped producing amplifiers with this feature any longer? hayw, bass and treble. | |
| My room has "zero" slap echo. Do I need room treatments? Slap echo is one hing and early reflections are another. You still want sound deadening at the early reflection points on the walls next to the speakers and the walls behind the speakers. Find those points using the mirror method. | |
| Looking to upgrade McIntosh system, needing advice! wbhendrix, room correction can be a wonderful thing. If you want to do it get the Trinnov unit. It is the best available. You can improve your bass and dynamic capability by going to an amp w/o transformers that run at least partially in class A. ... | |
| Azimuth 2020 Cross talk is affected by azimuth. Phase is affected by tracking error. | |
| Azimuth 2020 Cleeds, Lederman is a business man and obviously his approach has worked on you. Everything he belches is common knowledge except for the stuff he makes up like "jitter." When he says "jitter" just replace it with "miss tracking." As you raise the... | |
| Measuring line noise and power conditioners Yes, unfortunately a lot of products sold are a bad joke. Your house is separated from the grid by a transformer. Any irregularities are coming from the other houses connected to the same transformer. Remember the main line is 8 KV or more. If you... | |
| Building a new system for about 5 grand Are you dizzy yet Anton? I think Jamesdowning elliot has some good advise except for the Tektons. They are garbage. Cheap Garbage. Every speaker except the best ESLs are colored more or less. Like I said, buy new and establish yourself with a deal... | |
| Azimuth 2020 Uberwaltz, don't tell me you are in love with Peter Lederman. I thought MC was the only jitterbug here. Peter Ledernman is no god. He took an old B+O design and stuffed it in an ugly body. He learned how to manufacture cartridges, something anyone... | |
| Azimuth 2020 Darn Terry don't tell everybody!! Actually terry I have tossed cartridges for less and I won't sell them off either without letting the potential buyer know they are defective. I expect cartridges to be perfectly aligned and stay that way. If they... | |
| Building a new system for about 5 grand Yes, speakers first. On that budget I would look at very efficient speakers as this lets you get away with less power. Klipsch Heresy's would be an example. They generally go down well with the wife also. Given that speaker you want at least 50 wa... | |
| is the sound of vinyl due to the physical process of the turntable? Goeffkait, you say that to all the ladies. | |
| What's a better choice? Manley Steelhead Phono or Audio Research Reference 2SE Phono? Which one do you like the looks of better? | |
| TechDAS lll experience YOU HEARD THE GRAND PRIX! So, Daveyf what did you think??? These guys design and make stuff for formula 1 and cart race cars. They are very serious engineers working at the tip of the spear. It would not surprise me if they killed it. |
