| Acoustic Solid Turntables made in Germany Not directly, but looking at the design they are nothing special. Standard bearing, very weak suspension system and no effective record coupling system. They are just another low tech, mass controlled, belt (string) driven turntable. They look nic... | |
| Seeking help finding the weak link(s) in my system and offering suggestions please. GRM, just add a second subwoofer and bring the crossover point up to about 100 Hz. Make sure you have a high pass filter on you main speakers. I am not sure if the sunfires provide this but it is critical for the best performance. This will improv... | |
| Remembering Lou Reed Radio Free Brooklyn! "Give me an issue I'll give you a tissue, you can wipe my ass with it." Berlin stands as one of the great records of all time. Not bad for someone who only wanted to do a Dodge commercial. | |
| Do people know what they are missing? I think young people appreciate great systems just fine and I think many of them will do their own systems in time. When I was a kid ear buds and MP3 players were not even a dream, car systems sucked and in order to hear the music right you had to... | |
| OMG... Joe Henry The Old Fart at Play:) | |
| Could this be one reason tubes (and perhaps records) sound better? desktopguy, sounds like you are handling your tinnitus very well. I have had two patients that were crippled by it. Interestingly, both developed Alzheimer's. So, as long as you can handle it you're in business:) The technique of masking not only ... | |
| Analog room correction for vinyl chakster, there are certainly reasons to use room treatment. There are areas where it will work better than digital correction. As for standing waves digital correction will make the frequency response at the listening position flat but as you mov... | |
| On the hunt for the "just right" turntable lamp-ideas, and where to find 'em? bdp24 get out those bongos:) I like it subdued also until I have to align a cartridge. But, you do need something and for a wall shelf I think a goose neck something or other fits the bill nicely/. Island, if you want to do your own search look un... | |
| Tracking Matters Most No, I did not mention his appearance. I would never do that. I mentioned the appearance of his office which I saw in one of his Video's. I also saw the rest of his plant and you are right the manufacturing area is 3 orders of magnitude more organi... | |
| Has anyone seen this? A really beautiful turntable ct, it may sound different to you but not to me. I think spending hours trying to limit the rumble from a TD 124 qualifies and yes, I had the table almost entirely apart. I have never taken either my SOTA or SME apart. No reason to. Neither table ... | |
| Another Music Direct Catalog observation Wolf, yup quite a band. They were supposed to be the American Beatles but they self destructed. Omaha. I think only Michael Bloomfield flipped me out as much in the Paul Butterfield Band and Electric Flag. Another self destruct story. | |
| Another Music Direct Catalog observation oregonpappa, it is not dead either. Check out Cecile Mclorin Salvant and Esperanza Spaulding. robertjerman you can find a great documentary on Kate on youtube. She is most definitely an original. Most singer/songwriters sing about their experience... | |
| Tracking Matters Most He pretty much pushed Peter Ledermann's rhetoric about mass and stylus "jitter." It is hard to argue with mass as it applies to moving systems but I can only half warm up to Mr Ledermann. I like a lot of his arguments but his office is a pig sty w... | |
| My Feet Hurt Did you check the belt? Maybe it fell off. | |
| What is they best album out there for showing off the sound quality of your system. 1++ tomcarr. There are so many great recordings from all genres. I had and opera lover over last weekend. I played I Pagliacci recorded at Milan's famous Teatro Alla Scala. That brought him to tears. He didn't say anything about the system just th... |
