| New Place - What Would You Do? Open is actually better for bass. I would put the speakers on the window wall in the family room about 12 feet apart centered on that wall. Is there a basement under that room and if so is it finished? I always try to keep the amps as near to the ... | |
| Home Theater Done Right: Millercarbon's System Millercarbon, I find any lights near or around my screen very annoying but they do not seem to bother you. Did you have something done to your eyes? | |
| System start-up noise Over 5 years old;) | |
| System start-up noise I agree with the above that it is a noisy tube. You can pull the tubes clean the pins with 4-0 steel wool and try them again. If the preamp is over years old I would consider replacing them. The super low noise 6922 from here http://www.tubeaud... | |
| SME 20/3 --- tonearm recommendations!? Mohawk, the Phantom is not a good arm for the Koetsu. Unipivot arms do better with more compliant cartridges. | |
| SME 20/3 --- tonearm recommendations!? Mohawk, The Koetsu is a low compliance cartridge. Pretty much any 9-10 inch arm is going to require you to add some weight to the head shell. I am not sure if the 20/12 will take the weight of a 4 point 11 but it sure will the 4 point 9 which I hi... | |
| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth There is nothing more dangerous than an idiot who thinks he knows something. Raul, don't waste your time. Not worth it. | |
| Auditioning amplifier gear: simultaneous auditions, online retailers you trust? Hide45, You might want to include Anthem in your list. Also, I have purchased several items from Galen Carol Audio. https://www.gcaudio.com/products/category/computer-audio/He is down in Texas and I am up in New Hampshire. Of all the on line dea... | |
| Interesting conundrum You see this effect with other equipment. When I compare both Hi Res and Vinyl versions of the same recording the vinyl always sounds nice and the digital depends on the recording. So, noromance is right. The coloration (harmonic distortion) of th... | |
| Curious about the difference in what I’d hear on different tonearms Millercarbon, you'd be making a big mistake comparing other suspended tables to the Linn. It does not matter what tonearm you put on a SOTA, SME, Basis or Air Force. They will all be perfectly stable. Nothing is stable on a Linn. The resonance fre... | |
| I need a loudness switch Mike, if you look at the Fletcher Munson curves the boost in treble is pretty high up and is less noticeable than the bass boost which is in a part of the range that is very obvious. So you are right in that the obvious part of loudness correction... | |
| confused and don't know what to do raw33, as you said music is your priority. With a good system you do not need all that surround sound stuff. Just stick the biggest TV you can between your 804s, Get two subwoofers, an amplifier with at least 200 watts/channel with it's matching p... | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. Erik, to understand many jazz musicians you have to start at their beginning and follow them through time as they evolve. The great ones keep searching and exploring and in many instances leave us behind. Later in his career Trane became influence... | |
| Curious about the difference in what I’d hear on different tonearms Hi tochsii. The Delos is a fine match for your arm. All the arms you ask about are about the same effective mass. If there is any difference sonically with the Delos in all three arms set up correctly it would be so slight the most people would ne... | |
