| Curious to know what you guys think/like about Pink Floyd's early work @edgewear 1+ There are some bright spots in all the early albums, indications of what was to come. I listen to Atom Heart Mother on occasion, more frequently than the others. Animals remains my favorite followed by The Wall. Dark Side got played ... | |
| I need Hign compliance cartridges Koetsu Black. | |
| Happy Accident Women can not change the laws of physics. Well, maybe they can just not when it comes to audio. There are some very pleasing absorption panels. Ask the wife to pick a motif. They love doing that. A digital preamp with room control is your best bet... | |
| Happy Accident @stuartk , There is no reason you should not be able to make your current situation work. Your seating will be further back in the hall, images will be smaller but that is all. 1st off the image should never extend beyond the speakers unless there... | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? @erik_squires , modern digital preamps like the Anthem STR, Trinnov Amethyst and DEQX do the measurement for you and correct most of the problems along with providing crossover filters. The DEQX will quadra amp a system if you so desire. | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? @erik_squires Please excuse me Erik and no it will not or rather it will but not optimally. It is a half baked method of crossing to subwoofers. | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? @erik_squires , The only way eric that you can do what I have been talking about is with digital signal processing. The reason you have to have independent control over both high and low pass filters both 3 or 6 dB down points and slopes is becaus... | |
| My Final System Build in Words & Pictures @bigtwin , I'll just bet you really enjoyed making your speaker cables. I made mine years ago from Kimber Kable 12TC which has teflon insulation and 12 conductors woven to prevent induction. Teflon insulation is wonderful in some respects. You can... | |
| ZYX "House" Sound @kevemaher , then what you are looking for is an Ortofon like the Verismo or a My Sonic Lab cartridge. | |
| Poll: Most impactful component The final Transducer (speaker/room) by a country mile, followed by the amplifier. | |
| The damper, the tension wire and cantilever position @nandric , then it is impossible for you to set up a turntable correctly or understand how a cartridge functions. I'll give you the short answer. The groove moves the cantilever above the resonance frequency of the suspension. It is not responsibl... | |
| ZYX "House" Sound @kevemaher, It sounds to me like you have a speaker/room problem. Changing cartridges is only going to make marginal differences. The frequencies causing your problem are in the 3 kHz to 4 kHz region and these frequencies love to bounce around the... | |
| There's No Question @ditusa , That is the effect these speakers have on people who have trained ears. People who are familiar with loudspeaker design and construction do not even have to listen to them to know they are going to be awful. I don't pull punches. If I ca... | |
| Turntable Isolation Journey When you stack springs you create lateral instability, bad news for turntables. The Sota turntable was special because it was the first turntable to hang from it's springs instead of sitting on them like the AR XA or the LP12. This is also the met... | |
| The damper, the tension wire and cantilever position The armature to which the cantilever is connected should remain symmetrically in the magnetic gap. Assuming the cantilever is installed correctly perpendicular in the armature it should remain perpendicular to the face of the cartridge while track... |
