| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions How many cheap drivers can you shove in one cabinet? Then how many cheap drivers can you shove in a cabinet without rhyme or reason? | |
| Bang for Buck Loudspeakers and cartridges being electro-mechanical devices Are the most likely to make significant changes in sound quality. Chaaz just got himself a new set of speakers. Upgrading the Cartridge will have more of a positive effect on the sound t... | |
| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? Oh, I forgot to mention. It is not so much the weight but where the weight is placed. Ideally it should be at the periphery of the platter. Too much weight and you wear your bearing out faster. Out of balance and you wear your bearing out faster. ... | |
| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? We are very insensitive to pitch. Very few humans have perfect pitch.What we are very sensitive to is amplitude and phase. You have to be able to locate that enemy or prey. If you were playing along with a record and wanted to match pitch so it di... | |
| Should I keep the Turntable or sell it? Sell it and get the Rega. Put an Ortofon 2M Black in there and you will be in heaven. The business about direct drive being better is nonsense. The last thing you want under a sensitive cartridge is all that electromagnetic stuff. Direct drive is ... | |
| What the...have I just done ? Please explain... Audiodav, it has nothing to do with the tape. It is just a bad banana plug. The only banana plugs I will use are the locking type. Regular ones lose their spring and get loose over time. You can take a little flat head screw driver and pry the con... | |
| Bang for Buck Easy, Cartridge. | |
| Demo'd a few sets of speakers over the past 2 weeks... You were listening to the wrong Magnepans. Demo the 3.7i with 200 watt SS amps. Down the line add sub woofers. That would be hard to beat for the money. | |
| Class A Solid State Sound Oh, I would never run anything but a class A amp but I am not sure there is a huge difference between Mosfets and Bipolars having had both. I also run ESLs which are a totally different animal when it comes to drive so my opinion really does not a... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound It may sound great and be very durable but it still looks silly. Cheers Mike | |
| Monoblock suggestions to compare to SimAudio Moon Neo 400M? No surprise here. I always thought Wilson's did better with SS amps. The Moon is a lot of amp for the money. The only amp that might be better would be the Parasound JC-1 which you would have to find used. You would have to spend twice the money w... | |
| Dealers and exaggerated treble 8th note 1+ I think it is nice to see the extent of the market and at least be able to have a good look at the equipment particularly speakers to get an idea of how well they are built even if show conditions do not allow you to hear the equipm... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound Oh and George, a 200 watt class A amplifier conceptualized by a DanishGraphic Arts guy and designed by teams of worker bees resulting in......?I would prefer the work a dedicated electronics engineer who puts his reputation on the line with each a... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound Why hasn't anybody spoken about Boulder amps. They are class A with sliding bias which for some unknown psychological reason I am uncomfortable with. Of course 250 large for a set of boat anchors is a bit steep even if your floor can support them.... | |
| LOUD popping Rogue Magnum Bad capacitor. It starts charging up then arcs out. Both channels involved so it is in the power supply. I think it is going back to Rogue. |
