What's the future for vinyl lovers?
noromance, you just have to be careful to observe who is pressing the records. There are now companies who are doing a fabulous job on the other hand there are companies that are pressing garbage. If you are classical only there is a solid argumen...

Wiring question : amp-sub-speakers
ubee, your problem is that you are not using a high pass filter in front of your amplifier. You need to get the bass out of your main speakers. The PSW 550 does not have a high pass filter in it's cross over. I believe your integrated has a preamp...

Come on MC. You know darn well what sucking is. 
Best cartridge for very old worn vinyl
Nostalgia only goes so far. It is all about the music and if it is that special to you get a digital copy and hang the old records on the wall. There is nothing more irritating than a noisy worn record. Well I suppose that is not entirely true. El...

Where there is money to be made someone will step in. My bet is that Apollo will rebuild itself and do better than ever. It may not be as big as it was in it's hay day but it is still a very large and growing market. Hey Raul! Maybe you and I shou...

Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect?
There are no set rules on speaker placement. There are too many uncontrollable variables involved. The permutations are endless.Most people just stick the speakers where they fit into the room aesthetically without regard to the sound quality.  Wh... 
Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect?
Pragmas, it is quite true that a speaker's high frequency performance changes as you move off axis. This varies depending on the type of drivers used. Toe-in is important to stabilize the image as much as possible. Point your speakers straight ahe... 
Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect?
onhwy, all that is true but there are many people who don't quite know what to listen for. None of us did when we started down this road. We learned over time. It never hurts to share this knowledge with people who are just getting started. Goeffk... 
Repair Vintage Bang &Olufsen ?
Chakster, my understanding is that B+O designed this style of moving iron cartridge and held the patent. Lederman was contracted to repair them and as dbx implied Lederman took over the rights to this design. It does not make sense to me as the pa... 
Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect?
I also think it easier to LISTEN for the best image rather than LISTEN for the most diffuse sound. Most of us adjust our systems by "educated" trial and error. If you are unhappy with that get a good room control system such as the Anthem or Trinn... 
Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect?
Geoffkait, you automatically adjust phase when you listen for the image. Adjusting phase is only important when you have separate drivers such as subwoofers. Think about that. You can move your head side to side and find the exact spot where two s... 
Adjusting speaker positioning. What, if anything, to expect?
Mike, Imaging is the ability of a system to recreate the location, size and depth of instruments and voices. It is what stereo is all about. Whether or not a system can do this well depends on the type of speaker and acoustical issues with the roo...
