| Vinyl is back for good and that’s exciting @pindac I can clean and dry 20 records in an hour, have a record that is immune to static and is quieter than when new. I can also make dinner at the same time. I suspect my solution is a bit more expensive than yours, maybe 25 cents per cleaned... | |
| Vibration Question I am in agreement with @lewm Just because you cabinet weights 350 lb this does not mean that it does not resonate in any way. Judging from the construction I can see, it does. Ideally you would rigidly mount the turntable and tonearm pod to an i... | |
| Little help with REL subwoofers, please? @northman Those days are not gone, just ...evolved. I saw Smashing Pumpkins at the Garden several months ago. Not only was it thunderous ( I had ear protection in) but the light show was INSANE. I have never seen anything that bright. Good to ha... | |
| VPI JMW 9" and Rega P6 Tonearm Mounting Holes @pinwa The Blackbird is a brilliant arm, ugly but brilliant. I might get one myself. My table has removable tonearm boards so I can swap tonearms in a heartbeat. | |
| Little help with REL subwoofers, please? @northman I always sat in the Phil Zone. Getting Phil at home will require two 15" or four 12" drivers. A smaller sub setup will get that low, but at realistic levels there will be a lot of distortion. Great bass below 40 Hz at realistic levels ... | |
| Little help with REL subwoofers, please? Forget about specs. They are severely misleading. As you note deep bass is not about hearing, it is about feeling. In this regard there is no substitute for surface area. The minimum in most rooms is two 12" subs to get solidly down to 20 Hz. I wa... | |
| Best Amplifier for LS3/5a @peter_s The solution is to get a stand alone two way crossover either analog such as the JL Audio unit or digital such as the MiniDSP unit. You connect the preamp outs to the crossover then the crossover to the amplifiers and on to the speakers... | |
| VPI JMW 9" and Rega P6 Tonearm Mounting Holes @pinwa That is the spindle to pivot distance. VPI arms have a VTA tower which mounts to the plinth in a different location and the wire exits the arm above the plinth. A Rega arm uses a bearing spindle which mounts through the plinth the wires e... | |
| VPI JMW 9" and Rega P6 Tonearm Mounting Holes @pinwa My approach when I modify turntables is to router out an opening for a removable tonearm board if the plinth is amendable to this. You use a template and bearing follower. Then depending on the room available you can mount a variety of a... | |
| (dons Helmet, kevlar vest and cup.) Biwiring Cornwall IVs any benefit? @paqua123 Not a good idea with only one sub. At 100 Hz you will definitely be able to localize the sub and with the slopes most of these subs use they will creep into the midrange. You need stereo subs to do this along with a two way crossover.... | |

| Best Amplifier for LS3/5a @peter_s Then you use small subwoofers. You are doing this as much to lower distortion as to add bass. The LS3 5A was envisioned as a monitor for remote set ups. Imagine a couple of guys in a van like the Rolling Stone Mobile Studio. | |
| Best Amplifier for LS3/5a Hi Peter, I have set up, must be over ten LS3 5A systems. I worked in a high end store when the Rogers was released back in the late 70s. The LS3 5A is VERY inefficient, like 83 dB/watt @ 1meter. If you are not using subwoofers I would recommen... | |
| Speaker and amp advice needed Sonus Faber makes a great speaker. The chief designer was Franco Serblin. He exited and started his own company. His Ketema loudspeaker is one of the best dynamic speakers I have ever heard. You can put any speaker you want in that room. The onl... | |
| (dons Helmet, kevlar vest and cup.) Biwiring Cornwall IVs any benefit? @jasonbourne71 1++ If you were using 32 gauge wire bi wiring might be a benefit, but with Cornwalls if you are using anything larger than 18 gauge bi wiring will do absolutely nothing except waste your money. Bi amping with an electronic crossov... |
