| Downfiring subs on carpet? Mapman is correct. 100Hz has a wavelength of 10 feet. The only way the carpet would effect the sound is by lowering the resonant frequency of the floor by adding weight but no stiffness. The trick with the floor is to get it's resonant frequency o... | |
| Pure Audio Project open baffle speakers I forgot to mention, I use full range ESLs so I am handily in the open baffle club. At higher frequencies it turns out to be an advantage in your average room as you have more control over dispersion and can limit reflections. I do recommend placi... | |
| Pure Audio Project open baffle speakers Williwonka, I am thinking about wavelengths, 100 Hz being about 10 feet.As you get to the bottom of a drivers response curve it becomes more and more omnidirectional or conversely as you go up the frequency response curve the driver becomes more d... | |
| New Zirconia Pipe Cantilever .. What's up with that ? This is all just marketing BS. If a cartridge tracks well and sounds right (I like mine neutral) I could care less what it is made out of. Having said this it is interesting to note that all my current cartridges have boron cantilevers. The phonog... | |
| Analogue question What happens when you disconnect the turntable ground wire? | |
| Pure Audio Project open baffle speakers I'm sure they go very loud which is impressive but it does not mean the sound quality is good. In their favor is that the woofers become very directional along with the horn which is directional. This would limit room interaction nicely. The cross... | |
| Audiophile Albums....Yes indeed I do believe there is an element of jealousy and resentment in some responses to expensive program sources and equipment as Fremer suggests. My own response has nothing to do with this. It is purely a lack of interest. I am not a record collector.... | |
| To guard stylus or not? I never realized audiophiles were so anal retentive. | |
| To guard stylus or not? cakids, you are the very first person I have ever heard of that uses a stylus guard between sessions. | |
| Audiophile Albums....Yes indeed As for the other issue, problems have solutions which are usually quite simple but they always offend somebody's sensibilities. Screw them. politicians have no interest in solving problems they will say a do whatever they think will maintain their... | |
| Audiophile Albums....Yes indeed Right. There is no record worth that kind of money. But hey, if the guy can earn a living this way why not? I have so many classical and jazz from this era that are amazing pressings I guess I just have not interest.I have also heard some amazing... | |
| Need help replacing my beloved Magnepan.... Unfortunately, no dynamic driver in a box type speaker is going to come close, not even a Wilson or Magico. It is Apples and Oranges. Your sound stage will be smaller and you will suffer from more room interaction. In terms or transient response y... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive I personally think magnet floating designs like the Clearaudio and SOTA bearing are a more elegant solution for a thrust plate. As for which one is stiffer I have no idea. As Atmasphere implies the connection between the bearing and the tonearm ba... | |
| Brightness Dave, it could be anything. If there is a single problem you need to locate it. If both vinyl and CDs are harsh then the issue is with your main electronics or speakers. Speakers would be the most likely. If CDs are OK but the turntable is harsh t... | |
| What's your process for comparing new gear, cables, etc.? douglas, the only thing the manufacturer intended was to get your money. |
