| EAR founder has cancer He is still on this side of the grass and there are new therapies for metastatic colon cancer so we do pull it off once in a while. If he is a tough guy he might just make it through this one. Us guys tend to ignore problems until they "bite us in... | |
| Toole and why I like Tone Controls Not so audiophilenm, at least in the digital world. I was just like you until about 2000. I just played the music at whatever volume it sounded best but there are several factors that even the smartest audio person can not control for. If I measur... | |
| Interesting study Stereo5, it was not warped rotors it was bad metal. GM used crappy metal for their rotors for years. When your rotors and pads get wet during a rain or snow event water stays under the pads when you stop and corrodes the metal under the pad. With ... | |
| Interesting study wow, slow down jgrrp. I have a lot more trouble with the pick up drivers that lean out and yell at you to "get out of the Fn road you Fn yuppy." | |
| Is there a physical and ritual connection with the analog LP? Not at all geoff. Ugly women are much easier to ignore. You don't have to deal with the erection.....if you are younger than 50. Most of this is probably a fondness for tradition a tradition that younger folks born after 1985 or so do not have unl... | |
| How many speaker companies? It is the same old consumer beware monologue. Most people have no idea what they are listening to all present excluded of course. Remember Bose sold millions of 901s. One of the worst performing speakers of all time. So, it is no surprise there ar... | |

Sometime vinyl sounds better, sometimes digital but there is a tradition with vinyl that is missing with digital and that is flipping through thousands of discs at a big store pulling a disc because it ... | |
| Toole and why I like Tone Controls Tim, it would be nice but doing it requires complicated programming of several DSPs running in concert and in control of the entire frequency range at 1/2 Hz intervals in a 48 bit system. You need to have the native frequency response of the syste... | |
| SME 20/3 --- tonearm recommendations!? mohawk that is absolutely perfect. It is easy to add mass. Much harder to take it away. There are head shell weights you can get that hide under the cartridge. You add weight until you get the resonance down just under 10 Hz. Get The Hi FI news te... | |
| Home Theater Done Right: Millercarbon's System Mahgister, I must have missed something somewhere. What do you mean by the "controls in the triple embeddings?" | |
| Home Theater Done Right: Millercarbon's System Oz, I could make an incredible combined system with absolutely no compromises. I would just turn off the theater stuff for serious listening.Steward Screens are extremely well made and are well dampened. Hung correctly they do not buzz, rattle or ... | |
| Home Theater Done Right: Millercarbon's System Yes, mc I am kidding in one way but serious in another. We all have different perceptions of how our systems should be and this is on display. I find it interesting in the variety of solutions. You have your way and I have mine. In no way am I say... | |
| Interesting study Geoffkait, I wonder how that would work. "What is the color when black is burned." | |
| replacing tonearm question? Because the cartridge has rather extreme leverage over the bearings it would take a pretty bad bearing to dislocate the cantilever one way or the other but the "noise" from a rough bearing can be transferred down the arm to the cartridge. Tap ligh... | |
