| Five feet from the front wall @ditusa Yes, a good horn can have almost the same frequency response way off axis then they will fall off dramatically which is an advantage as it limits room interaction. But, that is not the problem. Horns are point source drivers and like any... | |
| what kind of grease do I use for my SOTA Sapphire bearing? @dover Not maybe, I have a bottle staring me in the face at this moment. It is being used in all the bearings as it is superior to lithium grease. It is crazy stuff. You can't wipe it off completely it is so tacky and sticky. It is also hard to ... | |
| Five feet from the front wall @markalarsen That would be a mistake. When seated at your listening position the front wall is in front of you and the rear or back wall is the one in back of you. @ditusa There is much more to imaging than lateral position, there is image si... | |
| Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts? As long as you can figure out how to plug it in you will love it and it will blow you away. The only significant improvements you might make down the line are subwoofers and a digital preamp like the upcoming DEQX Pre 4. I like Auditioning gea... | |
| Are there any current high end dipole speakers (dynamic)? Great HiFi is always an evolutionary product. Some issues require a degree of experimentation and you hardly ever get it right the first time around. Is old goats are worth listening to because we have already made most of the mistakes:-) It never... | |
| Horn vs AMT tweeter difference AMT drivers are cheap and very beamy. If a horn is designed and used correctly it can be very natural. Their efficiency is a big plus widening your choice amplifier. May I suggest the Klipsch Heritage collection. The Cornwall 4 is an exceptional s... | |
| Working with 78’s You get a cartridge specifically for 78s. Ortofon makes one for $20. It can be mounted in any modern arm. now go to Channel D’s website and look at Pure Vinyl. You will need an Apple Computer. | |
| what kind of grease do I use for my SOTA Sapphire bearing? It is a very heavy, tacky oil they are using. Sota will be happy to sell you a small plastic dropper bottle which will last you 4 lifetimes. Go to their website and get the phone number. If a woman answers with a husky voice that’s Donna. | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @wizzzard Thanx for the update, but I never French polish anymore. It is a beautiful finish,but way too easy to damage, one drop of scotch will do it. It is also a PITA to do. I have the equipment to shoot any sprayable material. I usually use e... | |
| Five feet from the front wall @pryso I have been using dipoles exclusively since 1979, I currently use 8 foot Sound Labs ESL and they are between 2 and 2.5 feet(towed in) from the front wall. The wall behind a dipole should always be heavily deadened. I use 4" thick acoustic... | |
| Cartridge suggestions for my rig @mwh777 I had a PU 7 for years. Great arm. I think you are headed down the wrong path. Moving coil cartridges do not come into their own until you get to the $5000 mark and my favorite MCs are all in the $10,000 range. With your phono stage I t... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Yes, I live in New Hampshire and we have huge State stores. They only stock the 75%. I did not ask if I could order 100 %. I'll give it a try. If you could get the Lorostat for me I would greatly appreciate it. Just let me know how much I owe plus... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @lewm The only relationships to the Rabco are it is an electrically driven tangential tracker. The current design is the first iteration and in some areas the materials are not established, like what we are going to use for the tonearm wand. Fu... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @terry9 I can not discuss fine details until our patents are established. My son in law is a robotics engineer. His company makes the robots used in chip manufacture. His robots have to move in nanometer increments. We have designed what will be... | |
| Clearaudio universal tonearm re-wire. @dwette Great minds think alike. |
