| What is the correct way to use the Zerostat? Zerostats do not work. The problem is that as soon as the stylus starts rubbing the groove static electricity is generated pulling dust towards the record. There are two ways to deal with this. The first is always use a dust cover. If your table d... | |
| Recommendations for improving visceral impact? awilder, that is no where near enough subwoofer for that room. Who recommended that? You need at least two 12 "subs or four of the ones you have. I have a 16 X 30' room and use four 12" subs with 2000 watts each. They should have room control then... | |
| Cartridge Selection Tablejockey, I think that is particularly true at the less expensive end of the market but when you get to Sutherland and Pass SS phono amps that argument breaks down. The one gig I would love to try is Channel D's system where you have an unequal... | |
| Cartridge Selection It wasn't Transfiguration's fault that it's owner and principle brain trust passed away. Unfortunately, he must not have had a relative interested in carrying on like Grado and Koetsu. The Proteus was a great cartridge. I never owned one but I had... | |
| I feel bad for speaker manufacturers I could not agree with Prof more. I have never heard an ultra expensive speaker worth the price. Building Loudspeakers is way easier than building electronics especially if you use someone else's drivers. Anyone know how expensive a surface mount ... | |
| Cartridge Selection I have a friend who put a Soundsmith, not sure which one on an old Thorens TD 125 and it hummed like crazy not to mention that the arm was too heavy for it. He returned to an Ortofon SPU. Different cartridges have different sounds so you have to k... | |
| The Science of Cables mkug, then all these people would have nothing to talk about. I'm with you. You pick the cable for the job at hand paying attention to those properties you mentioned. Constructing your own is the best because you have more control over cable lengt... | |
| Cartridge Selection The Koetsu is way too stiff for that arm.The Lyra Delos is perfect as is the Clearaudio Talisman Gold. The Clearaudio is a bit more dynamic and it is also brighter. If you think you need a little more treble it is perfect. If your system treble is... | |
| speaker repair Cleeds that is just a manner of speech but you are right it would have been more appropriate to say, "and express disappointment." No owner who spent that much on loudspeakers is going to be happy that they disintegrated. I have two pair of cheap ... | |
| Do Macs Play FLAC? iTune will not store FLAC files. It will store AIFF and ALAC files. So, either your FLAC file was converted to one of the above formats or you have a program such as Pure Music that is using iTunes as a library but not storing the actual file in i... | |
| FLAC On A Mac Hi Richard. I do not know your Marantz unit well. If it has a USB input you are all set. Channel D's Pure Music program is designed specifically for Mac computers. It utilizes iTunes as the library and will play pretty much any file available. But... | |
| Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz I have it all. Vinyl is euphoric like tubes, it is tradition, it is a collectors dream, and lastly it is tweaky. There is so much you can do with it. What are you going to do with zeros ones. Vinyl once set up is really just a little more work tha... | |
| Ribbon midrange pros and cons I live just 40 miles from where Apogee was.I suspect they were not prevalent on the west coast because they were very expensive to ship and very fragile which would have added a lot to the cost.Scintillas destroyed more amplifiers than any other s... | |
| What is the working principle of the Loudspeaker? Dynamic loudspeakers are just linear motors sized and shaped to produce certain frequencies.Planar magnetics have the voice coil in the diaphragm.Ribbon speakers, the ribbon itself is the voice coil.Electrostatic speakers have no voice coil or mag... | |
| speaker repair Wow, you would think Wilson would have used better materials. Did you have them in the sun? Call the people at Parts Express. They are closely related to Daytonand I do believe they have a driver remanufacturing program. Also, why not call Wilson ... |
