| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? raul I'm having a hard time understanding you, just the language barrier.You can get perfect bass response at the listening position but it requires digital room control to do it. Getting reasonably smooth response through out the room requires a ... | |
| Ribbon midrange pros and cons Having owned Apogee Divas for 16 years I feel a bit qualified to talk about this. There are very few true ribbon speakers on the market. Mostly you see small ribbon tweeters and for many of the you can get replacement ribbons. Magnepan has a tweet... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? Records do not have a steady state velocity unless you are playing a sine wave at constant volume. The higher the velocity the louder the volume the lower the velocity the lower volume. Obviously The overall velocity increases with groove speed. A... | |
| Power Amp advice Mark, this is one piece of audio equipment that is relatively safe to buy used. You have a tube preamp which will give you that tube sound regardless of the amp you use. In your case you want a SS amp with as much power as you can get like a newer... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? Oh Lewm, The speed of the stylus through the groove depends on the groove velocity not the speed of the record. The higher the modulation and frequency the faster the velocity. The stylus is traveling a longer distance in a given period of time | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? ct0517 try it with a test record. Don't break the wires! | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? Lewm only in a straight line. If you rub your finger against smooth glass at a specific speed and pressure you will encounter a certain amount of friction. If you rub your finger across 100 grit sandpaper at the same force and speed you will encou... | |
| Dual vs single sub phusis you are right. A point source system can be wonderful with two subs set up correctly. A line source requires four subs in most rooms (wall up to 16 feet). Now I am going to make some people mad. Distributing the subs through out the room ma... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition Very popular Amp. Check with Benchmark when they will have another run made. Assuming your speakers have a well designed cross over, vertical bi amping will make very little difference while strapping the amps mono will give you much more headroom... | |
| Help me rebirth my old turntable Hemoncdoc, I’m a radoncdoc! Atmashere is entirely correct. The materials they use to use for cantilever suspensions dried out and even cracked. Guaranteed that is your problem. I second either the Grado Gold or the Ortofon Blue. You’re table is mu... | |
| Turntable that will be around heavy foot steps? You have only two choices, SOTA or SME, the suspended tables only. Both are excellent tables by any measure. The SOTA Cosmos is an incredible bargain. It is just as good as the SME and 1/2 the price. You have a little more versatility with the SME... | |
| Is it common for tubes to outweigh the cost of the amp or preamp? I would NEVER spend more on tubes than the amp cost. There are plenty of modern tubes that sound perfectly fine. The real issue is with driver and preamp/phono amp tubes and that is noise. RAM Labs has super low noise versions of many of these. I ... | |
| KEF LS50 Need Help Torxx, It is easier to integrate subs if you use a higher crossover point. This only works if you have two subs. Any good sub should be able to run up to 125 Hz w/o getting boomy. Put the subs just to the inside of the LS 50s turn them sideways so... | |
| Bryston or Pass Labs Pass Labs by leaps and bounds | |
| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? With digital room control you can do whatever you want as long as you have enough power, volts and current to support the corrections. Power is everything in a SOTA system. The problem with low power high efficiency solutions is that power require... |
