My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel
I forgot to mention that clio has also eliminated 4 of the 5 primary reflections that cause comb filtering in the bass. Another way to look at this is that the bass linear array is just a more specific DBA system. It will always require 4 or more ... 
My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel
Thank you clio. You said something that is very important (to me at least)Bass is not just about hearing. It is about feeling. Part of the rush of a live performance is the visceral sensation you get from accurately projected lower frequencies. Th... 
Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free?
Fleshler I always avoided playing an LP twice in a day as the prevailing thinking was as you describe. It is true the vinyl under the stylus is under immense pressure and is described as going liquid (never proven as far as I can tell). The mass o... 
First time mount perfect!!!
Yes dgarretson with headshells you can make a mounting jig that will locate the cartridge perfectly every time. The only outlier is VTA which you still have to dial in. I have them for my Kuzma arms. I had to make two of them because the offset an... 
UPGRADE FROM VPI SCOUTMASTER
VPI lost me with Unipivots, no anti skating, idler wheels and looks over performance. I do not want to spend money on jewelry. I want performance. Having said that they are coming around. Their new Direct drive table is handsome and you can get it... 
UPGRADE FROM VPI SCOUTMASTER
Unipivot arms don't. They are a cheap and easy way to build a tonearm. No bearings to adjust no tolerances to meet. Too many degrees of freedom when you only want two. Even Graham has to resort to an array of magnets to stabilize his. A stiff arm ... 
Name Your Top 5 Most Musical Dynamic Sounding Tonearms of All time?
Well, if you have a lot of money the Kuzma 4 point 14 with an Air Tight PC1 Supreme. You you have a lot less money the Kuzma 4 point 9 with an Ortofon Winfeld Ti. Even less Money a used Syrinx PU 3 with a Clearaudio Concerto V2. There are others. ... 
Acoustic treatment
IMHO the only rational for tube traps is that a lot of people make money on them. 
Acoustic treatment
Ok Geoffkait here we go again. Show me solid objective evidence that tube traps work. Before you start spending other peoples money you have to be full of more than BS beside not knowing how to manipulate the math behind the Helmholtz Resonator. A... 
Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people.
None of this is going anywhere. As long as people want to spend money on it, it will be around with the exception of wives. They just steal your money. On the other hand the only thing worse than being old is being old and alone. 
Class A Solid State Sound
Why don't we kiss and make up now. 
Figuring Cartridge Compliance.. Help!
rauliruegras you have to be kidding. The only error in the recording would be if the TT speed were set incorrectly. The only thing you care about is the actual resonance frequencies which is what you are measuring. This also gives you the ability ... 
What is the best tonearm at about 3000 budget?
Haipo, there is one arm that stands out from all the others in this price range and that is the Kuzma 4 point 9. I has the best bearings of any pivoted tonearm ever made, the same bearings used on the much more expensive 4 point 11 and 14. It has ... 
My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel
Ok, DBA SWARM subs are absolutely the only way to go I wish I had the cojones to take my 200 lb subwoofers and their 2000 watt amplifiers and toss them up in the air to let them play wherever they land happily ever after. But I am an old man and t... 
Acoustic treatment
geoffkait tell me how something the size and shape of a tube trap is going to modify the dispersion of a 32 foot wavelength (20 Hz) in a 15 X 25 foot room.
