| 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... | |
| Best room treatment If you have already ruled out any further tuning of speaker placement, or listening chair placement, before you can determine what types of room treatment will help you need to identify the frequency(s) at which the problem (boost) occurs. The low... | |
| "Breathing" of the air Well, a few random thoughts from the peanut gallery.........Q 'Air' - Is it additive? That is does it come from the design or implementation of equipment/set up. Or subtractive? That is does it come from the source and does it pass through the sys... | |
| Musical involvement? "Assuming meticulously set up".........Mismatched complaince of cartridge and mass of arm. Stylus shape, for example line stylus types, vs elliptical, vs conical types. The former can give very precise information not available with conical. But i... | |
| Is there a process to match a Cartridge to a Phono The capability to adjust the resistance (MM) or capacitance (MC) if you intend to fine tune your cartridge/system match is very important. Especially with MC cartridges. A lot of phono pre's, especially the inexpensive ones do not provide this. An... |
