Tannoy Stirlings on the way! Toe-in is a necessity because these are horn guided tweeters, they quickly lose intensity as you go off axis in the horizontal direction | |
Tannoy Stirlings on the way! Technically I may not be able to explain but I can say whats going on by ears. The dispersion pattern changes. To an extent it is like toeing in-out in the vertical direction. It is meant to fire straight-direct for the most coherent presentation.... | |
Tannoy Stirlings on the way! @trentmemphis , please don't tilt the speakers back for elevating the soundstage. The timing and phase goes for a toss. Buy a pair of Sound Anchor speakers platform. They make studio grade stands which goes very well with Tannoys. I am a Tannoy T... | |
Another turntable @pindac , I meant, after owning many idler and direct drives, I personally prefer some of the belt drives the best when it comes to high resolution playback without getting sterile. I don't hear people talking about Hartvig turntables here but it ... | |
Another turntable I have owned all the good Gararrds (Loricraft etc), Lenco (PTP Solid, Jean Nantais), Technics SP-10 Mk3, Platine Verdier, all EMTs. The only few which sounded really good to my ears are these SME 30/ Micro Seiki SX-8000 Hartvig TT signatur... | |
Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music? Tanmoy or Audio Note speakers with a good 300b SET will be very very good for your listening | |
RIP oregonpapa https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/pani-new-art-9-up-and-running This is how my association with Oregonpapa started. His way of expression is very different. He had a big heart. Will miss him! | |
Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other @drbond Among the 3 top TT you have selected, SME is the best and that too by a considerable margin. The most neutral, the quietest and the most dynamic among the three. | |
What do audiophiles do in their cars? There is only so much appetite for any craving. When I listen to music in car I don't feel like listening at home anymore. Hence car stereo is always off, unless I am on a long drive or kids want it. | |
Recommendation for a highly resolving amp Symphonic Line Kraft, if at all you change the amp for power and resolution | |
How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components? Source and speakers first. Whatever remains should go into powering them. | |
How can a system be judged with highly processed, non acoustic music? Is Metallica considered highly processed by the jury here? | |
Solid state amp to go with tube preamp; used ok; budget: $3k max Quad 909 or Quad Elite QSP. If you don't mind small monoblocks then Quad Elite QMP. Better than all the pass-es, accuphase and McIntosh | |
ATC SCM50ASL Pro vs ATC SCM 50ASLT There is a difference between the pro model and the domestic model. While both of them are 50L cabinets, typically ATC suggests the monitor model if the room dimensions are relatively small. The floorstand version sounds a bit larger/bloomier henc... | |
What comes after Harbeth 30.1s? Audio Note speakers needs to be placed close to rear wall is a myth. That is Audio Note's way of projecting it. In fact it sounds wrong in the bass region when they place it in those corners. Just place it like a normal speaker and enjoy the speed... |
