| 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. | |
| How do you know when tubes are done? Thanx Veridian! My first ST-70 cost $79 in kit form. Can't remember what the built price was. Those M-125 amps look very interesting maybe for a small system up stairs. Let's see...Rogers LS3-5As. TD 124 with an SME on it. A PAS 3X. Just like old ... | |
| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel Tim, I think you need to drop your Adderall dose:) Sub woofers are not more prevalent in high end audio because they add expense, they take up space and women do not like the looks. Not to mention that there are still many audiophiles who think so... | |
| How do you know when tubes are done? roberjerman you are showing your age! Heathkit? Us Dynaco guys use to sneer at the Heathkit guys but you had to be braver to do a Heathkit because you had to build the boards, Dynacos you just had to do the point to point wiring. Bravo! I wish man... | |
| Blackbird / SME Viridian, Some things are demonstrable facts and others are opinions. I have no problem stating facts for what they are unless someone can give me data to the contrary. Saying that a tonearm "chatters" is a rather derogatory comment sure to bother... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound kosst I am not saying that Atma-spheres are the absolute best amp for those speakers but if someone were using a sub woofer and liked the other attributes of Ralph's amps. Why not? Damping factor is not everything. There are those (mostly Mcintosh... | |
| Blackbird / SME Viridian, experience is everything in this life. Yes I am old and have had a lot of tonearms which does not explain you backing out of an argument because you have no idea what you are talking about and are intensionally misleading everyone in thi... | |
| Bass management with stand alone preamps Electrostatic loudspeakers. Martin Logans are ESLs from about 250 Hz up most of their speakers cross over to standard woofers. I think they still make one full range ESL. ESLs run on a different principle than regular dynamic divers. In the middle... | |
| Bass management with stand alone preamps No, I meant with the sub woofer. I know Dr West. One of my heroes. He has kept the faith and the flame alive.Making an ESL sub woofer that you could use in an average room is a tough one. My own feeling is that ESLs having to be dipoles have never... | |
| Blackbird / SME Viridian I would tend to trust SME's specs more than Analog ClassicsChatter is a figment of some peoples minds for some reason. I doubt this can happen even with loose bearing races. Forget about tapping the arm tube. Tap the cartridge body. If th... |
