| Are there any current high end dipole speakers (dynamic)? @o_holter All basically true, but the bipole still qualifies as an omnidirectional speaker especially in relation to a dipole. You still have to treat your room as if the speaker were omnidirectional. Toeing in just changes the position of the f... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @wizzzard , I looked at the prices of Clearaudio Solutions and decided to use my own at a far lower price. I suspect we will never know why the seal failed but I had the pump apart in no time, dried everything out, established a new seal and re... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @rauliruegas For the substances in equal caliber that might be true but given the Sapphires much larger diameter and tapered form I highly doubt it for the tonearms. Don't worry I'm not about to buy a Sapphire arm. I have my own thing going and ... | |
| Clearaudio universal tonearm re-wire. @dwette , Great birthday ride. We have the yearly Kancamagus Highway ride which circles through four notches, 80 miles 5300 feet of climbing, but I am not about to do it with one gear! I will not be able to do it this year. I am a Campagnolo gu... | |
| Clearaudio universal tonearm re-wire. @elliottbnewcombjr I like that arm. The only change I would make is I would nix the RCA junction box and get shielded double pair Litzed wire, strip 14" off one end and use a single wire clips to RCA. Schroder's wire is excellent. You might ask ... | |
| Clearaudio universal tonearm re-wire. @dwette I'm 70 and just had a knee replaced and a shoulder repair. I'm struggling to get back in shape. It blows my mind that people worry so much about guns. The automobile is handily the most destructive weapon in the general population and n... | |
| Five feet from the front wall The distance from the front wall is going to effect the mid and upper bass/lower midrange. If the face of the woofer is three feet from the front wall, the distance to the wall and back is 6 feet, that is the wavelength of about 185 Hz. Thus 185 H... | |
| Clearaudio universal tonearm re-wire. @dwette Ah, a cyclist, the best way to exercise and see the world. The wife and I climbed the Stelvio a few years back and we went romping through the Dolomites, Fausto Coppi's mountains, "Mi Dolomiti." Couldn't do it now. I'm afraid age has got... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum I though the fibers were resin impregnated. The Schroder system does not have a head shell. It uses a mounting plate for the cartridge which makes it very easy to align. There are no additional connections. You have to pull the clips every time yo... | |
| Clearaudio universal tonearm re-wire. @dwette Then I would highly recommend rewiring the arm and no I do not have any idea how tough that is with a Universal. My own feeling about those types of things is if they put it together I can take it apart and yes that attitude has gotten m... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @terry9 I would taper it like your other wands drilling out the inside so the is almost a constant wall thickness making it a little thicker at the back. I would put a Schroeder like head shell arrangement at the front. What are you doing at the... | |
| PS Audio Aspen FR20: Planar Floorstanding Speakers First of all, they are not planar loudspeakers. Magnapan 3,7i is a planar loudspeaker and will present a more realistic sound stage because it is a dipole and interacts less with the room. It is also a much better value. At about the same price th... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @terry9 View this as a challenge. You have an idea which you have tested with a prototype now make it look good! | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @terry9 Function and aesthetics always run together. The trick is making a functional object aesthetically pleasing. What will happen with an arm like that is everyone will think it looks like (insert any appropriate four letter word here) and h... | |
| Clearaudio universal tonearm re-wire. @dwette Then the options are, being very careful or rewiring the arm with something more sturdy. You might find out what Schroder uses. His wires are very fine and litzed. I have changed cartridges at least a dozen times without difficulty. I th... |
