| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience I have an appt in two weeks to listen to the Spendor D9.2 at Sound by Singer in Manhattan. They are still closed for demos. As twoleftears mentioned, the D series Spendors are not the same as the SP100 line. The D7 is prety bright and unfo... | |
| $1000 bookshelf speakers with "recessed", "laid back" or "flat" mid-range? There's a pair of Spendor S3/5 for $450 on the gon. | |
| Rega planar 3 or Project X2? Which is the better turntable? @mr_m You can get the 1200GR in black as the 1210. | |
| $1000 bookshelf speakers with "recessed", "laid back" or "flat" mid-range? You might also look at your upstream components. The speakers may be simply reproducing other issues which you are trying to fix by changing the output transducer (speaker!)However, your Elacs are cheap and cheerful budget designs... | |
| Solid core Versus Stranded Speaker cables Yes. Cut the JW to size and clamp the bare wire in the binding posts. | |
| Help transferring my music from MacBook Pro to Synology NAS DS918+ Copy the files from the Mac onto an external drive. Then add that drive to the PC. Use MacDrive Pro on the PC to read the drive if the Mac drive format gets in the way. | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience I heard them and found them involving but a little lacking in inner detail I get from my ESL57.If I was in your situation, I’d look at Tekton Moab or Ulfberht and high quality SET tube amps. Also Tannoy Kensington and Spendor SP100/200. | |

| $1000 bookshelf speakers with "recessed", "laid back" or "flat" mid-range? Don't laugh, but if you use the grills, tape some tissue paper to the inside blocking the tweeter. Start thin and add layers to suit. | |
| 6x4 rectifier question Probably. Changing the rectifier tubes on my power amps make an easily-heard difference. | |
| Rega planar 3 or Project X2? Which is the better turntable? Jeff, the new 1200G series is marketed at audiophiles not DJs. Do the research. Google "Fremer Technics Caliburn" and "Artisan Fidelity Technics" and "Technics SP10 mk2".For $1700, it will blow away those cheap belt drives. | |
| Rega planar 3 or Project X2? Which is the better turntable? Haven't heard the Project but I have heard the Technics SL1200GR beat the Rega P3. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601 Re the Croft, I replaced the power cord (cheap OFC rhodium from ebay) with good results and don't forget the fuse (PTFE tape on glass only). | |
| Newb Tube question @lewm First, in my experience mediocre sounding gear does not become wonderful sounding gear via tube rolling.Beware, the corollary is also true - a bad tube can make a great amp sound average. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Incredible String Band – U (Elektra 1970)Sides 1&4. Solid recording on NM vinyl. Magic stuff. |
