| To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges I have 7 turntables set up ready to roll and many others in house. Some perfect classics (idlers, idler plus belt, direct drive) as well as new state of the art.With all those, I end up using the most neutral, quiet belt drive table as on a wide v... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond vs Revel Salon 2 Agreed, more than 50 sets of top tier speakers in my career. 10 sets of transducers right now. Can't make the mistake of narrowing down to one set of colorations when you are in the business. One is used to check another, to check that, and so forth. | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond vs Revel Salon 2 Avalons do have their charms, the airy imaging, clarity, and a similar character top to bottom.But they absolutely have a sound, which is one of being leaner and colder than the Revels, and the OP wanted a comparison.This "sound" can be tiring to ... | |
| Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k? Look hard for the companies offering lower cost great equipment: they are there. For speakers, start with Revel, a company that makes superlative speakers below $10k. The fact is, folks pay MUCH more attention to the expensive stuff, then the same... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond vs Revel Salon 2 Yes, Bo1972, we know you have superhuman hearing and can hear things differently and better than normal humans with the best human hearing. You have told us of your superior ability many times. I am surprised you have not been hired by musicians, ... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond vs Revel Salon 2 The words "thin" and "thin out" are exactly what I was pointing out about the Avalons. The words and concept is said in above many times, because it is true.For some folks this thinning exposes more detail (or APPARENT detail) and makes them feel ... | |
| Everest dd 66000 speakers Audiolabyrinth, I had 66000 then 67000.I have absolutely no experience with other JBL speakers. I have not sold the 66000. I am not going to at this time. | |
| Do 45 RPM records need higher anti-skate setting? Rtilden, you surmised correctly that I did not want to respond, it's not worth it. I have graded students that have been sure they have been right until I drew a free body diagram showing all the forces balance, in front of them, and verbally went... | |
| Do 45 RPM records need higher anti-skate setting? Tracking angle error is negligible in the calculation of anti-skate, the magnitude of changing force being very small, tracking error only being +/- about 2 degrees even for a 9.5" tonearm. No arm's anti skate mechanism is within that range of acc... | |
| Do 45 RPM records need higher anti-skate setting? 45s are NOT cut with greater modulation (if they were the sound would be louder through the speakers), the goal of the mastering guys is same volume, so the idea that different anti-skate is required is far fetched. Same anti-skate. | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond vs Revel Salon 2 The Salon 2 camp is busy listening to MUSIC, not dissecting the sound of speakers, or the SOUND coming out of the speakers, which is what the Eidolon Diamonds are good at. The Salon 2 reminds you of music, not hi-fi. The Avalons are one of the sev... | |
| My new Soundsmith Straingauge cartridge Spiritofmusic, really glad you are so open-minded compared to most, who have to say "it is technically, engineering-wise, and sonically perfect and beyond reproach (because I bought it said under the breath).That you love it is great....that it br... | |
| Do 45 RPM records need higher anti-skate setting? Here we go again: VTF cannot be different for each channel. Left wall and right wall are identical - how could they not be given that they are cut by a single cutter?! Each nudge, each bump, each movement of the inside groove wall is duplicated on... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond vs Revel Salon 2 Yes, the ceramic Avalons can disappear and image really well. But, tonally, they are thin through the mids right on up to the highs. I am involved with many, many concerts listening directly to unmiked horns, drums, piano, strings. Sorry, they don... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? After owning so many ultra speakers, so much ultra-fi, I have been hesitant to say any one thing is the best. Part of it is that I have been so picky about the smallest of flaws. I end up saying "I can't say this is the best I've heard, on this pa... |
