| Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition Very hard to do better. If it is not enough just get another one down the line. You will never need another amplifier. | |
| What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price? Just a note. Forget reviews. There is way too much bias involved. You have to know what you want to hear. For me all point source speakers are out. They simply do not throw a realistically sized soundstage unless you always like sitting in the bac... | |
| What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price? Sound Labs 845 Ultimates with 4 of my own force cancelling subwoofers. | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? Larryi you are essentially correct except for one thing. It is the loudest passages you want to set the tonearm for as they are the hardest to track. The lighter passages are easy and a little more bias here does not matter near as much. It is the... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? There is a huge difference between evaluating a change in sound quality and knowing what you like to hear. We have a notoriously short audio memory and if we listen to a system that sounds "bad" long enough after a while it does not sound as bad.... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? Trusting your ears and knowing what you like to listen to are two very different subjects. Distinguishing fine differences in sound is difficult for humans because our audio memory is so short. Not only this but because of our brains ability to ac... | |

| Entry level turntable for my son Sota Comet. Buy American!!! | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? Oh, I forgot to add. You do not need a Fozgometer or an oscilloscope to do this right with modern cartridges. A good eye and the right tools can do this perfectly. Back in the day cartridges were all over the place. Cantilevers set in crooked, sty... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? Stringreen, the most important thing I have learned in this passionate hobby over the last 55 years is, Never Trust Your Ears. The problem with ears is that they are connected to a brain. Brains can accommodate to stimuli in amazing ways. Example.... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? There are exactly two reasons why tonearms skate. The offset angle of the tonearm and friction of the stylus in the groove. The tonearm is being pulled towards the spindle leaving the stylus and cantilever behind forcing the cantilever's suspensio... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? If removing anti skating makes a vinyl playback system sound better then the setup is off somewhere. You can prove this to yourself with any good test record Like the HiFi News one. The anti skate adjust or Bias track has symmetrical test tones on... | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? The problem with the Mc MEN220 and DBx Drive rack and to my way of thinking a serious flaw is that they do not have digital inputs! So, you start with a digital source which goes to a DAC turned into analog then to one of these units, converted ba... | |
| Dual vs single sub Oh, by the way I use dipole speakers with sealed subs and have absolutely no problem matching them up | |
| Dual vs single sub I have made dipole subs using 6 drivers aside. They do not work. Even with huge amounts of power and room control you can not get 20 Hz out of them effectively. IMH experience the best performance comes from sealed, enclosed 12" subs Q @ 7 with Ro... |
