| Speakers that reveal bad recordings? Not for me. Lokie, Lest you (and others) have read too much into my comments, I'm a long way from having what might in this forum, by many regular contributors, be considered a high res system, I gave up on that goal some time ago, but I do think that what I ... | |
| Rubbing sound fromTechnics SP 15 platter I've never owned an SP15 but my first thought is that the bearing has worn out. You might put a couple of drop's of oil in the well to see if it makes any difference. FWIW. | |
| Speakers that reveal bad recordings? Not for me. One thing is for sure, if you have speakers which won't reveal bad recordings for what they are you're going to save a lot of money on fancy (revealing) electronic's and sources 'cause you won't get any benefit from them. And apparently you won't ... | |
| VTL2.5 or PrimaLuna2: wich is better as preamp? The Prologe 2 does not have an active pre-amp section. It is simply an amp with a volume control and source selector. If you want a Prologue pre-amp the Three is it for now. | |
| new small room, big change FWIW, as you do not discuss a proposed set up and I assume that you will set the system up with the speakers on the long wall in a nearfield listening set up (6'triangular type arrangement) as its the only thing that I can think of that will give ... | |
| Could anyone or Tyler Acoustics describe D line? It will be nice to hear about an actual listening experience from someone who has a comparable Linbrook model. Ty's comments quoted suggest to me that he may have solved a problem that I couldn't get past with my LSS's and caused me to 'upgrade'. ... | |
| Which tubed pre to "flesh out" my mids??? Interesting post. Good stuff being discussed, but if your analysis of the the '302' is the same as mine, that is if anything the highs are a bit rolled but the mid-range and upper-mid range are a tad too crist (too fast or shortened decay, perhaps... | |
| Any proud Dialogue Two owners in Boston/Cambridge? I'm not a Dialogue Two owner. That said, I am a PL One, Three, and Five owner. Using 92db speakers these units are dead quiet (NO sound whatsoever) with the ear no more than an inch from the speaker's tweeter and mid-range. I doubt that the Dialog... | |
| Is there a process to match a Cartridge to a Phono Restock, Thank god I don't make my living giving advise! At least I gave him something to 'think' about with a built in problem to solve. My misunderstanding is probably why I put my vinyl system in the closet, I could never get it to sound right!... | |
| Speaker Help Required Hey guys - I think Agiaccio's problem is obvious, even though he is complaining more of balance than anything else. What does a woofer in a corner do? It booms! In fact I'm ammazed that his complaint was not about boom, or excessive energy anyway ... | |

| musical speakers for a Quad system Well the Quad amp is not a high current amp so you will want to have speakers with a higher nominal impedence (at least) such as 8 ohms, and a reasonably high sensitivity say 90db or more. That way you would be able to play Mr St Saens. :-)Apart f... | |
| Speaker Help Required Sub woofers crossed over at 80hz, assuming that the cross over slope is at 12bd per octave will still have significant output at 160hz and some at 320 hz the result of which will be an enriched sound from the left speaker in that range and will sk... | |
| "Breathing" of the air Onhwy61, Re old mono recordings/dimensionality/voice. Perhaps it is because a single live voice is, in a sense perhaps, a mono source and mono reproduction is a more natural source for replication. Now a chorus or orchestra needs a more 'natural' ... | |
| Should I get a new amp? FWIW, FatghOst, I tend to agree with Saki's recommendation regarding the Primaluna stuff. But, as I think you already know, the actual sound you get is very dependent on tube selection, both power and small tubes. While that can be a small PITA it... |
