| Top ten DD turntables of all time? First, I wanted to let everybody know (if you don't already) that the wonderful site "Welcome at Direct Drive" is accessable again through a new link, which is: http://www.oocities.org/de/bc1a69/index_eng.htmlI wanted to expand a bit on Mmakshak's... | |
| Best treatment for speaker feet???? Bmckenney -- think about this: your speakers/drivers (unless you're talking about down-firing subwoofers) vibrate horizontally. Your floor vibrates vertically. So it's not your speakers that are exciting the floor. It's the air pressure (SPL) of t... | |
| Do you use variable speed on your turntable? Hmmm . . . does no one here remember back in the 70's when cassettes were the reigning personal music format (Nakamichi-to-Alpine-to-Walkman) and everyone made their own personal mix tapes? My friends and I considered TT's with variable speed cont... | |
| Importance of Power cords feeding Conditioners The experience(s) some of you report is due to the fact that if you are using a conditioner or regenerator (between the wall and your equipmment,) the cord which connects it to the wall becomes the "great equalizer" for the performance of all the ... | |
| Best treatment for speaker feet???? Devilboy, spikes when placed under speakers, are for mass-coupling the speakers to the floor. Nothing more, nothing less. As I said, you could bolt the speakers to the floor and acheive the same thing, maybe better! The speaker designer engineered... | |
| Best treatment for speaker feet???? The underlying principle here is that the speaker (enclosure/frame) must be "mass coupled" to the floor (or, preferrably, to the planet!) so that the only thing that can move is/are the drivers. Spikes are simply the easiest and least destructive ... | |
| Martin logan CLS II Vs Magnepan 1.7 I'll say it once more: ONE sub, properly placed between them (and set to 90 deg. phase angle, 80Hz or lower xovr.) provides the MOST seamless performance with panel speakers. Maggies or ML; large room or small. If you haven't tried it, you're in s... | |
| Martin logan CLS II Vs Magnepan 1.7 Keep the Logans -- you already love them for all the right reasons; and Maggies can never replicate the accuracy of an electrostat. Get a single ML Depth subwoofer and stick it right in the middle of the panels (see my system) and you'll have the ... | |
| lp grunge Rgc, you are certainly NOT left w/ useless LP's, good heavens! I am curious as to the nature/content of the 'grunge' you speak of. Can I assume your mat and records start off clean? If so, then by 'grunge' you must mean some kind of (sticky?) coat... | |
| Importance of Power cords feeding Conditioners Power cords come with a variety of physical attributes, but the single most important "spec" for a power cord is its gauge (AWG = American Wire Gauge) The lower the AWG number, the thicker the conductor. The thicker the conductor (other things bei... | |
| Analytical observations. Unsound, I'm not sure I'm understanding your question, but maybe I can be clearer . . . . .No matter how many loudspeakers there are in the room, or whether they're all even playing the same material or not, as long as all the audio information is... | |
| Analytical observations. Most of us can (still) remember a time when we didn't have the choice of physical v. electronic room correction. And one quick, cheap, and easy solution, was binaural recording and playback. It didn't require more expenditure than a pair of headph... | |
| Analytical observations. The problem is, was, and always will be that when you play back (over loudspeakers) in ANY room, sound that was recorded in another room (call it the PRIMARY acoustical space) you are "mixing", or "blending together" the acoustical properties of t... | |
| PAD speaker cable differences Rsf, unless you have access to ALL the cables you want to consider (dealer, factory demo, friends) the Cable Company is a convenient, one stop, and fairly inexpensive way to survey a lot of cables without it taking a lot of time and energy besides... | |
| PAD speaker cable differences Inna, I think you're being little bit unfair when you characterize Bryston as mid-fi. But without naming other brands right now, I just want to say that "mid-fi" is EXACTLY what I'm after at this point in the process. And that there is, if not a '... |
