| Acoustic treatment Boy are you out to lunch on this one Tim. It is not what you hear. It is about what you feel. I would bet that you have never played with a system in which you can control phase and arrival times which is why you have this rather flaky opinion. Th... | |
| Acoustic Signature Set Up Hi, Is this a new or used set up? | |
| Budget cartridge for SOTA Moonbeam TT. Ortofon is fine | |
| VPI Turntable choices. SOTA, seriously better turntable. | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Audioguy, you forgot about all of those seismic vibrations that ruin your playback if you don't get one of those isolation platforms. They go right through concrete. They probably even ---- up your tubes not to mention make your toilet flush funny. | |
| Figuring Cartridge Compliance.. Help! rauliruegas, that kind of stuff makes me dizzy. I am glad to be out of Physics 101. All he needs is the test record which will account for any wear and inaccuracies that the math won't account for. | |
| From tubes back to SS? My first system was a Zenith portable (Victrola). This was 1958 so of course it was all tubes. Eventually I stopped using it when I was given the OK to use my father's system. Bozak B 103s, Stereo 70, HH Scott preamp and tuner. Rec o cut TT with a... | |
| About to Buy a Technics SP-10!? Am I making a mistake? Chakster, I am not saying you can't get excellent used equipment but there is always a risk. Bearings and cartridges are either fragile or there is a wear factor involved. If owner 1 moved to a new house, did not pack his TT well and let the mover... | |
| How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular? Oh, back on topic, there is a compromise in a two way horn system that is difficult to get around. You either have to run a woofer up into the midrange or make a very large horn to get down to where most woofers do well. I do not think there is a ... | |
| How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular? Good speakers play everything well and make bad recordings sound better even if they are not as good as the best recordings. There are good examples of every type of speaker (except the Hill Plasmatronic.) Mostly what you like depends on what you ... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound Guys, it really does not matter. It all depends how an amp was designed and uses these output devices not the actual characteristics of an individual device. | |
| Fan on Amp Unbeatable spinaker yes they were very special back then. Unfortunately those output transistors ran hot and many of them eventually blew their output stages. Like a light bulb turn them on and off a lot and eventually..... | |
| Low Sensitivity Speakers Compression Issue. Kosst, I think we are sort of saying the same thing except dynamics are not so much a matter of amplitude but I suppose the amplitude of the transient attack which is not necessarily something you hear but something you feel. And, not just with yo... | |
| Would an Isolation TT platform further improve my TT? The sky is falling | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance When ever I encounter a sibilant record I switch to my digital 3K -3 db notch filter curve and it goes right away at the expense of a little "presence." Problem solved. |
