| Room Correction Required Easy. You will have to be a little patient as it has not been released yet, but the DEQX LS200 will be the ultimate integrated and it has everything including room control and subwoofer management. https://www.deqx.com/products/ | |
| Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it? It depends on the experience of the individual and what that individual prefers. I prefer line source, dipole ESLs. I only listen to point source speakers when evaluating them for other people. Speakers should always be auditioned as the variabili... | |
| Musical subwoofer under $2000 Easy. Get two 12" Dayton Sub kits from Parts Express with Class D plate amps and a MiniDSP crossover. The kits are easy to build. You can paint them or cover them in equipment carpet. | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging @kraftwerkturbo The Sonus Fabers are the best of that group. I compared the LS50 Meta directly with the Harbeth P3 and there was no comparison. The Harbeth was significantly better. My son in law bought the Harbeths and built two 12" subs from D... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging @tomic601 I have been down that route. I now only build stuff I know I can do better than anything commercially available and I can not do better than Sound Labs although I have made some modifications. Nothing spectacular. I added a second set ... | |
| Ultimate Turntable search...OMA K5 or ? The OMA is fine as long as you place it on a MinusK Isolation platform. I am a big fan of Schroder tonearms, but I prefer the LT. I personally use a CB. All of these turntables are luxury items and are in no way necessary for the best sound. Owne... | |
| Ultimate Turntable search...OMA K5 or ? None of the above. As a matter of value The Dohmann Helix One. The Basis Work Of Art IMHO trumps all the other turntables that have been mention as it has vacuum clamping and a great suspension. Pictures do not do it justice. It is a beautiful thi... | |
| Garrard 301 motor and rumble @atmasphere I do not know what my dad's old Rek-O-Kut had in it. I'm sure you can upgrade old turntables with more modern drive systems and materials. But there is no way around the noise produces by the idler drive. You can lower it for a time ... | |
| The dangerous world of Reel-to-Reel Tape @mikelavigne Nice that we agree on something. I do not expect I will use the Nagra for anything but display. I do not have any recent experience with tape machines. I did at one time own a Revox A77. However the outlet I was affiliated with did... | |
| Do you adjust your subwoofer I would also like to suggest that every audiophile should have a calibrated measurement microphone and program. You will never know what your system is doing unless you measure it. A good program will also give you group delays which will allow yo... | |
| Garrard 301 motor and rumble @atmasphere And there you have it. AC synchronous motors particularly the three phase ones are the best turntable motors because they automatically apply corrective torque. The older motors had to rely on the AC lines frequency which is held wit... | |
| Polishing a Micro Seiki RT 3000G Gunmetal platter @pindac All true, except clear metal lacquer is really toxic and difficult to apply. The stuff you get at Home Depot will leave a bad finish with pits and runs. It is much easier for the OP to polish the platter once in a while. | |
| Does Formula 1 racing and high end audio go together for anyone else? @audio_d Not to mention Fangio, Moss and Clark. But, my favorite of all time was The Flying Mantuan, Tazio Nuvolari. Check out the story of the 1935 German Grand Prix. | |
| Absolute Monster SAM Turntable Terrible arms. Very unnecessary filigree, resonating. | |
| Needle resilience It is no more than 8 hours worth of stylus wear. Why would it be more? Better yet why didn't it cut it's way through the record? |
