| SP10 MK3 recommendation Dev,I'm just using the built in phono with the VAC right now. I have a friend near by that wants to hear the SP10 when I get it set up. He has an Alnic H3000 that I'm pretty sure I can get him to bring over.Both Albert and Steve Dobbins use the Al... | |
| SP10 MK3 recommendation Peterayer,I Will be for sure leaning on Albert's knowledge, but he hasn't heard the Reed arm on the MK3 so I'm fishing around to see if anyone else can comment on the sound of the Reed arm compared to these other great arms especially with the car... | |
| SP10 MK3 recommendation C1 Ferrari,No more BMW. My whole system is basically new. I just haven't updated pics yet. | |
| ceiling acoustic treatment Thanks everyone and sorry for the confusion, but my current system pics are before the recent move into my basement. Basement room is 18'x33'x10 ceilings. I'll update system pics when I get a little farther alongI'm already experimenting with pane... | |
| Transformers .. Is It Just Me? Here is an article I found that might be helpfulhttp://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_10_3/feature-article-isolation-transformer-8-2003.html | |
| specific need Nottop,Go with a used pair of Martin Logans. They have that wondeful transparent sound you obviously like and they do best with lots of power.I have a 14 year old pair of Aerius in my basement in a second system/home theater and they sound great.Mike | |
| Speaker Cover Cloth? I made some nice acoustic panels using fabric from Guilford of Maine. They make acoustically transparent fabric with many colors/ patterns. You can even order samples.http://www.guilfordofmaine.com/acoustic/panel | |
| Record Revirginizer Elizabeth,Thanks for you thoughtful yet sad response!I never actually planned to get into vinyl. A friend brought over his modest rig a couple of months ago while our wives had a "girls" night out. He has a great collection and we A/B'd some of hi... | |
| Record Revirginizer So welcome anyways? Wow, thanks.....I think. | |
| Record Revirginizer Rockitman,For sure. I just ordered a couple of bottles just to see. Too expensive for a regular use type of thing for sure. Especially since you have to pay shipping from Australia! | |
| Record Revirginizer Casey,Th album in question is sealed NM lp. The guy recommended to clean even before first play. He said that even with the initial play the needle can push in any contaminant that may be on the album surface and make it harder to clean later.I ha... | |
| California Audio Show- a great time I had a great time this year at the show. I concur completely with the other posts regarding the very friendly reception from almost every room. After allowing me to play one of my cd's in one room, I was asked if I wanted to play anything else. I... | |
| Stereo Imaging Larry,Yeah. Freaky for sure.I actually use that drum intro to that song as a test when I try different tweaks and cables. There should be a seamless 360 degree circle from those drums. If part of the circle is missing or it's uneven then something... | |
| Stereo Imaging Larry,The Cd you are talking about is from a group called Deep Forest. The song is #6. I forget the name of it. Quite bizzare how those drums sound as if they are directly behind you!Mike | |
| Songs used for Imaging and Sound Staging Tests? "Deep Forest" by Deep Forest. Their first CD from 1992. Track #6 "Savanah Dance" begins with tribal drums starting from behind and outside the right front speaker and travel in a 360 circle around and behind you and end up at your left channel spe... |
