| Custom tonearm boards - who makes them to spec? Wow, In my day audiophiles were very creative guys. We made our own arm boards. Childs play. go4vinyl if you send me your arm board I will be happy to make you one out of anything you want as long as you pay for the materials, no labor included. I... | |
| Do MC Cartridges Deteriorate over time Suspension damping can change its characteristics overtime. With clean records I have seen styli last over 3000 hours. The only failures I have seen were due to failure of the coil wires at the solder joints. Copper will work harden so vibration a... | |
| Tonearm suggestions for my Nottingham Analogue Spacedeck Easy call uberwaltz. Kuzma 4 point 9. There is no better 9" tonearm. It is an arm you will never sell. It can accommodate any cartridge perhaps with the addition of a little head shell weight. It has all the critical adjustments and a removable h... | |
| Most “disappeared” speakers. 2+ Georgehifi. | |
| Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers? The Japanese have never been able to make a decent speaker. Who knows, with the westernization of their music they may pull it off one day. But, not with NS 5000s. Not even close. | |
| Speaker of the Century Award Goes To .... Any electrostatic loudspeaker subwoofer or not. Dynamic drivers suck. | |
| Pairing Magicos with a sub Magico makes the best commercial subs you can buy. Stick with them. Why corrupt great speakers with subs not up to the job. Will it increase dynamic expression at low volumes? You bet. Ideally you will need two of them but you can start with one e... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound The classic comparison is between Pass And Boulder Warm VS Dry, Tubish vs Transistorish. I am not totally sure about this but there is something about Class A bipolar amps which causes the designers to want to use fans and fancy bias tracking sche... | |
| Benchmark Preamps and Amp - For real? aberyclark the AHB2 is better than any class D amp I have ever heard.It is also beautifully constructed and no doubt will last a lifetime. | |
| Tube Amps Watts vs SS amp Roberjerman, I went back and looked at the Heresy's timeline. It does date back to 1957 but it was called the H 700. It was given the Heresy name with an update in 1972 which was probably the year I got them as they were marketed at the time as ne... | |
| Tube Amps Watts vs SS amp It is the clipping that is important. Glass clips softly, sand hard. | |
| Tube Amps Watts vs SS amp Atmasphere, I am certainly a believer in considering how the sensitivity of our ears changes with volume as were scientists long ago. Harvey Fletcher and Wilden Munson wrote their famous paper back in 1933. Loudness correction was a standard featu... | |
| Anyone Here Have Atma-Sphere Amps? Atmasphere, The lower the impedance the less efficient a speaker becomes. Transformerless SS amps respond to this by putting out more power and as long as their output sections can handle it and the power supplies can dish it out everyone is happy... | |
| Anyone Here Have Atma-Sphere Amps? Atmasphere, if I order a set of MA 3s can I get them in red :) | |
| Tube Amps Watts vs SS amp Atmasphere, one more series of questions. The Sensitivity measurement in db/1watt/1meter, is this measured with white noise? Does this really tell you how the speaker will perform with music? Is "music sensitivity"frequency dependent. I roll off m... |
