| Upgrade suggestions for Stacked Quad ESL 57 system Darn Rich, that is like going back in a time machine. I helped Sound Components install those systems back in the late 70s. Do you have the Levison Stands? Why not Hartley'S?So, you have the itch:) What would I do??????If the Turntable is OK good... | |
| About to Buy a Technics SP-10!? Am I making a mistake? Yes. Never buy used TTs or Cartridges unless you know the first owner well. | |
| Would an Isolation TT platform further improve my TT? No | |
| Bi amp pros out there I could use some help! First time Bi Amping... I have bypassed quite a few cross overs although I can't say how many.A good active crossover can pretty much compensate for anything. If it is a 3 way speaker you want to bypass only the woofer section leaving the midrange to tweeter cross alone. | |
| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel Tim No, Right now I have modded out Acoustat 2+2s. Quads are not linear arrays. Full range linear arrays have to extend from the floor to the ceiling. I am on the brink of getting SoundLabs Majestics 845s as I have 8 foot ceilings. Between the spe... | |
| Bi amp pros out there I could use some help! First time Bi Amping... If you do not have gain controls on at least one of the amps you have a problem. The major benefit of biamping is to be able to bypass the crossovers in the speakers and instead use an electronic cross over between the preamp and the amplifiers su... | |
| What can come after Apogee Divas ? I owned Divas for years and they could be wonderful. But, they are extremely fragile and hard if not impossible to repair with the company long gone. There are some people making midrange and tweeter ribbons but you have to be able to put them in ... | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? I use 4 subs but I have floor to ceiling linear arrays and two subs just won't make it. If you are clever and work with your room acoustics and you have a point source system which is just about all of you, 2 subs will work perfectly fine. In most... | |
| Foam surrounds on 30 year old NOS speakers Elizabeth I would only consider them if they had butyl rubber surrounds. I never buy drivers with foam surrounds after having a Velodyn sub woofer self destruct and the driver was down firing and never got exposed to sun and It was in a humidity c... | |
| Magico vs Focal (M/Q/S series vs Utopia/Sopra) Absolutely no contest. I would go with the Magicos anyday and all day long. | |

| Need a new cartridge recommendation for clearudio concept black. 1+ on the 2M Bronze. The Grado Prestige Gold 2 has a consumer replaceable stylus and the Grado Reference Sonata 2 will outperform all the previously mentioned cartridges. For MM cartridges it is very hard to beat Ortofon and Grado. My favorite MM ... | |
| Led Zeppelin II I know you said Vinyl but the Hi Def version on HD Tracks is a knock out.It was so good I got the entire LZ collection in Hi Def. | |
| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel Following doctrine gets you absolutely no where. Good for you. I started messing with subs because I knew theoretically they should be a huge benefit particularly with a planar speaker that has limited excursion capability and is a dipole. I would... | |
| Most “disappeared” speakers. When you get a chance try this. Blind fold yourself and have someone guide you towards a dynamic speaker. You will know right away when you are right on top of it. Do the same for any full range ESL and you will walk right into the speaker. |
