What's a real good arm for a Decca Cartridge?
Even the very best examples have trouble with the heaviest passages. Just get an Ortofon test disc and try out the vertical tracking band. I have done this with the London Reference and it could not do it. It is however a wonderful sounding cartri... 
My speakers are set. Magnepan Tympani IVs
Hi Kythin, I ran T 4s for two years when I was down in Alabama. That is what I had when I met my wife so she knew up front what she was getting into. This is not an easy loudspeaker to deal with. Above 250 Hz everything is wonderful. Bellow, is......

My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel
Are the DD amps designed after the Acoustat amps. How tall and wide are the ESLs. Single flat panel? Does he use them himself? 
Anthem STR or Lyngdorf TDAI 2170?
Guys, It is not one or the other. It is both. You always have to optimize your room acoustics. Once you have done that Speaker Control (Not Room Control) adds an additional dimension that an uncontrolled system simply can not match. Every single s... 
Best phono player for newbie with good 2 ch system
dtx images, What are you going to put it on and what type of flooring do you have. The environment around your table is very important. If you get an unsuspended turntable and put it in on softer floors, anything that is not concrete you will have... 
What's a real good arm for a Decca Cartridge?
+1 bdp24There is nothing wrong with your arm. It is the cartridge, just one of the things you have to live with when you get a Decca. They can sound great but they do not track so hot. Just like any British sports car.  Most people I know with Dec... 
Electro Dynamic Braking in Mirage M3-si
Sorry I stepped on you toes meekeenz. But I did answer your question first. I said marketing. Dual voice coil woofers have been around for ever and if you hook one coil up the the other backwards all you will get is burned out fuses and voice coil... 
Pure Class A amps above 100 Watts?
Sure, If you really want to rock find a pair of Parasound JC-1s. First 25 to 50 watts are class A then there is another 300 watts in reserve just in case you want to get Gary Clark Jr's volume right. These amps spent 15 years on Stereophile's reco... 
My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel
Clio for $12,000 as listed on Roger’s web site does that include the amps? Why doesn’t he put a page up for the speakers and all the other neat stuff he makes like the 300 watt mono amps?Atmasphere, those amps got damn hot. They were also easy to ... 
Diffusion vs. Sound Absorption views
whitestix, what you have are dipoles. Dipoles radiate in a figure 8 pattern. Very little energy goes to the sides. This actually makes them easier to deal with acoustically because there is only one primary reflection and that is off the front wal... 
New dedicated lines have high noise floor.
pg62 put all your source equipment on one line via one outlet strip and put your amp on the other. Float the ground to your amps using cheaters.Let's see how that works. 
ZYX Optimum phono cartridge - a defining statement
OK jollytinker since we are daydreaming, what would you rather have the Singer 911 or a Mclaren 720s Spider. The Mclaren is about $100,000 cheaper.  
Electro Dynamic Braking in Mirage M3-si
Marketing. At any rate it is a design that has been shunned by the vast majority of speaker manufacturers. Blasting sound all over the place is the best way to create confused room acoustics. Pedestrians like the effect. Look how many Bose 901s we... 
Polyfill placement question in monitor speakers.
Oharchie, It does not mater where it goes as long as it is not touching a moving cone. The fill effectively increases the size of the enclosure or lowers the "Q" You want to fill the enclosure without packing in the fill or in  other words it shou...
