| Anyone use Koetsu with Harbeth Lewm, the only reason people might think the bass has no oomph is that their tonearm's effective mass is too low. Koetsu's have plenty of oomph but they require a rather heavy arm or some ballast to do their best.Michael, there are two basic Koets... | |
| What should I do? That could certainly be the problem. If you have A VPI unipivot or any unipivot tonearm including the Graham get rid of it. I know of no LOMC cartridge that would be happy in a unipivot arm, way to floppy. The Graham is the best of them being stab... | |
| Feeling Tweaky I never feel "tweaky" anymore. In my media room all you see is two 8 foot speakers, four subwoofers and a screen. No wires, no amps, no lights, no BS. I did the tweaky thing in my younger days discovering that in general it is just a hill of beans... | |
| Your Pick Between These Two... Yes, I mean't the most recent version of the Cornwall. I have heard the 3's and everyone says the 4's are even better. If you love tube amps these are tops. Add two subwoofers (or more) and you will have a system that will loaf along at concert le... | |
| ways to store your records There is only one way to store records, upright on shelves with solid sides. You should always fill up the compartment so that the records are always under slight pressure. The compartment that is not totally filled should have a movable side wall... | |
| Tube Dac ? With Dacs I would stick to SS. That is just my intuition. | |
| THE GOLDEN AGE OF TURNTABLES! BS, turntables have never been better. I can understand the nostalgia but I could care less. I want the best sound and modern turntables and cartridges have the old stuff beat by a mile. I know this will piss some people off. If all you can afford... | |
| What should I do? Cartridges are like ski boots. Once you use em you own em. Unless it is a demo unit it will not be returnable. Whether or not it sounds better in a few hours depends. I have a Clearaudio cartridge that out of the box was very bright. I had to prog... | |
| Equipment Warm up, but What About Listener Warm up? Cartridges do break in but I have never heard one warm up. Tube phono stages may need a short warm up period. I keep mine on permanently so there is no warm up period at all for the phonograph | |
| Equipment Warm up, but What About Listener Warm up? Absolutely! Behind your ear drum are three little bones called ossicles.Attached to one of them, the Stapes is a little muscle called the Stapedius. As sounds get louder this muscle tightens and decreases the ear's sensitivity protecting you from ... | |
| Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed! No reason to get pissed off just tell him to put the lines in or he can go find another job. | |
| Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed! Class A | |
| Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed! Your electrician is dead right except for one thing, an extremely powerful class Amp which will trip a 15 amp breaker. | |
| Your Pick Between These Two... Magico A3 by a fair margin as long as you have the power. If you want to go loud on limited power then Klipsch Cornwall III's | |
| Suggestions for $2k budget If you like rock and want to go loud with less power and get very acceptable sound go for Klipsch Heresy III's. I like maggies but they do not go loud and require a lot of power. IMHO Tekton makes ....trying to be polite here....garbage. |
