| 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. | |
| Downfiring subs on carpet? Hel-loo, subwoofers moving/vibrating = distortion. Put your hand on your sub as a real low note comes along. Ideally you should not feel anything but all of you will notice your sub vibrating to one degree or another. Geoffkait uses his sub for ma... | |
| Downfiring subs on carpet? Three spikes please! Four can rock. | |
| Downfiring subs on carpet? It is very important that the sub can not move or vibrate. It should be coupled to the floor as best as possible. Spikes are the best whether the sub is on carpet or not. Right into the floor no pads. | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? It depends on the driver. Drivers with stiff suspensions can fire downwards fine. Those with looser suspensions are better off front firing as they may sag mounted downwards and the driver becomes non linear. Given a driver that can go either way ... | |
| Phono stage hum - Rega Aria The phono amp does not like your preamp for some reason. See if you can borrow another make or model to try. It could also be a defective phono amp but it is most definitely the phono amp. | |
| Analogue question If it were a cable or contact problem it would only occur in one channel.Wazoo, does the hum get worse as you move the tonearm across the record?? If it does you have a motor ground or shielding problem. | |
| Garrott vs Soundsmith Easy, Grado | |
| Tube Dac ? Just use the DAC in your CD player and buy a new cartridge:) See, I made it analog. | |
| If you listen to anything other than Classic Jazz, don't read this. Eric, acoustic bass is one of the most difficult instruments to get right.I always use Dave Holland and or Ron Carter records to evaluate records.I only wish I could get a good recording of Scott Lafaro.IMHO the only speaker that will get this rig... | |
| Analogue question Wazoo. You said the noise picks up when you play the record. Put the cue arm up and move the tonearm across and over the record. Does the hum increase as the arm approaches the motor? If it does you have a shielding or grounding problem with the m... | |
| New Zirconia Pipe Cantilever .. What's up with that ? If the cartridge tracks well and is neutral I could care less what it is made of. Having said this I will side with Johnathan Carr on this one. Rigidity balanced with low mass are the hallmarks of a good cantilever. Anything heavier will play havo... | |
| A Hypothetical Analogy Between Fake IDs and Audiology Tests I have a wonder hear test apparatus. How much you pay me?Seriously, the hearing tests stop at 8000 Hz. I have seen people who can't hear anything over 10,000 Hz make very reasonable audio evaluations. | |
| Who makes a "true" Transmission Line speaker?... Sanders puts a transmission line woofer under his ESLs. |
