| very small speakers suitable for wll mounting A friend of mine tried Aperions (522's I think) based on research I did for her - seeking very small, cheap, yet attractive and listenable speakers, and is very happy with them. I haven't heard them yet.Michael Fremer (with all obvious caveats abo... | |
| Fuse for SEAS Millennium T25 CF002-06 Tweeter. I'd say the Spica TC-50 tweeter (Audax) takes the prize for easiest blow. At least the way I used to drive them at those wild 1980's parties with that Adcom GFA! I used to go through Spica voice coils the way I go through Ben and Jerry's ice cream... | |
| How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound? Hi Arkio - Yes it did cut into my listening time tonight, but you just can't let that kind of bull be perpetrated on a personal level. Heated debate about speaker design is fine, or audiophile vs. musicphile is fine*** - that's what the Audiogon b... | |
| How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound? I'm baaaaaack - I can't let this kind of behavior go, and I'm tempted to report it. Robm is an angry guy, that's OK with me. His post wasn't exactly accurate (that's an understatement) but so be it. But the intentional, in-your-face-lying by Kevzi... | |
| How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound? First off - it ain't me who's pissing. You bash people personally, and then hide behind the implication that if we respond we're turning this into a pissing match." Nice strategy, but, if you review my 2 posts I have not personally attacked anyone... | |
| How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound? Whooooo.....! First of all, I DO like to stir things up a bit. Sorry for the delay in responding to all this, but I've been out all day. But 2nd... Who said I haven't heard these? I've got better things to do than yabber about something I have no ... | |
| AR turntable With Ortofon OM 20 super? & phono amp I have an older OM-20 (not Super) that I picked up in a Goodwill and have used occasionally in a pinch. In my opinion, it's a very nice sounding cartridge for the money, which I could be perfectly content with. And if you decide later to upgrade, ... | |
| How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound? re: Kevziek's comments - "Music lovers" generally choose the material (software) they listen to based on these 3 factors in this order:1st. How much they enjoy the composition/songwriting2nd. The quality of the performance3rd. The sonic attributes... | |
| Best speakers circa 77-79' No question the Dahlquist DQ-10's if you want a refined "audiophile" sound. They use the Advent woofer, which was the best thing about Advents, they're time aligned, and they have hands down the best midrange of any speaker from that era. And you ... | |
| Thinking of jumping to analog...which turntable? For $1000 to $1200 you should be able to get a nice used VPI HW-19jr table with a good arm (JMW, SME) and a decent cartridge. Don't worry so much about which ones for now. There's a lot of personal preference involved ultimately, and you'll have t... | |
| ELP laser turntable - any comments? Wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot tonearm.Unless you've got money to burn and like expensive toys. | |
| Best Vintage Speakers? Depends on what you're looking for. Here's a few examples in the under $500 category - If you want rockin' and thumpin' then vintage JBL's. If you want low level horn-y detail and dynamics, Klipsch Heresy's. If you want "Audiophile" quality sound ... | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? I have to agree with Lrsky, although I usually prefer not agreeing with anyone. The theories of speaker designs are interesting, but the actual experience is what matters ultimately. All speakers are compromises - and overall it's pretty amazing t... | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? Partially true. In a hurry today so I'll be brief and general.Time alignment generally refers to the alignment of the theoretical point sources of all drivers in a cabinet, such that the signals emanating from them at one moment in time all reach ... | |
| Need to re-discover analog - please help Just a reminder - A turntable spins a platter. If it spins at a constant speed and imparts no (or virtually no) vibration to the lp as it does so, that is the best it can do. Period. Doesn't matter how much it cost. 98% of the differences people t... |
