| How important is a good rack? I found the difference to be night and day. I had now idea how bad my first two racks were until I tried a better one. No turntable here, but the difference had nothing to do with rigidity of the frame. The worse one was more rigid. The better one... | |
| Planars/ Electrostats benefits over box speakers? Just thought. Line sources are more efficient as distance, dropping -3db at double distance rather than -6db for point source speakers. The guy/girl in the back row can enjoy. "Or am I barking up the wrong tree?"Some designers also attend to the c... | |
| Planars/ Electrostats benefits over box speakers? I also like Marty's post. Another advantage is there are no cabinet colorations caused by resonance and reflections.Small panels have less bass and often employ a dynamic driver that is difficult to integrate in to the sound of the panel. Although... | |
| Brass screws make a real difference on Dunlavy s ? Do not forget to send the screws for immersion cryo, not the spray-on. | |
| Dynamic speakers High efficiency and dynamic are different. Daedulus, Volti and Sonist are some brands I just heard. All good. Volti is very dynamic. Sonist is dynamic and less expensive. | |
| Paradigm whole studio system Just look for obvious external damage of the drivers and cabinets. Listen to them. If they look and sound fine, then they are okay. See if the seller has original box, manual or receipt. I like to know how old they are. | |
| Speakers to audition at AXPONA 2015 Hey Duke,I listened the rhythm prisms in a subcompact room here in Dallas a few years ago and am a fan of your posts and work. Looking forward to hearing your new speakers. I'm sure the Essential Audio room at Axpona will be a good place to hear t... | |
| Speakers to audition at AXPONA 2015 Cool, I'm putting Essential audio on my priority list. Best room last year, using a Sound Lab rig. | |

| Vandersteen 5a Carbons Pal, My thing is space-robbing panels (Sound Labs, Analysis Audio) have a lot strengths, a greatly reduced down side and come in to their own at that budget. | |
| Fess Up How much have you spent on this Hobby?? The issue with investing your money instead of spending it on audio is that audio equipment inflation very likely outstrips the return on investment! The responsible thing is buy more stuff. | |
| JC1 upgrade to Lamm M2.2 or dartzeel 108B or Ayre? Lesser known, I heard BSC (Bully Sound Company) class A amps with Harbeth's 30.1. They were awesome. | |
| Room treatment Fiber glass is well known to be good at converting acoustic energy in to heat. The limtiation of that type of treatment is that the wavelengths that are actually absorbed is a function of the panel's thickness. That is an issue for bass frequencie... | |
| Vandersteen 5a Carbons Yeah, I've heard vandersteens a number of times including Richard vandersteen's tour of dealers, which was cool of him to do. They do a good job marketing and putting the speakers out there. Relatively easy to audition, in America at least. | |
| FYI: Audeze robbed $250K worth of gear stolen That's terrible. Great headphones. Good thing to know, so I don't buy any at a discount. |
