| Unipivot tone arms @helomech Re: "Some unipivot tonearms (VPI for example) are poorly designed because they are inherently unstable, thus the tracking force is in a constant state of fluctuation as the tonearm traverses the record." Uhhh, no. They are no more uns... | |
| One Sub or Two? 30X40X12 is a very large room - 14,400 ft3, Two big subwoofers are a necessity to fill a space like that. My only complaints with REL are lack of continuous phase adjustment and their ignoring basic best practices for biamping. To be done properly... | |
| Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead 2 MC611s or 1 MC462 and a week in Paris or Hawaii. Ask your spousal unit for their input and you'll have the answer. | |
| If Bi-Wiring is an option, should I choose Bi-wiring over single banana with free jumpers Bi-wiring makes no difference, The back EMF isolation theory is complete nonsense because the crossover already keeps those currents away from the MF and HF drivers. The larger gauge wire claim makes no sense either, because the second pair of wir... | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? @jwei VPI absolutely belongs on this list. But made in Brooklyn somehow lacks the cachet of more exotic manufacturing locales like Scottish Highlands, the Black Forest or some medieval city in Eastern Europe. VPI also doesn’t adopt contrarian log... | |
| Bookshelf speaker pairing with subwoofer You can start with KEF LS-50s and go up from there. From 60Hz up they are Class A in every regard. They are rear ported and do come with port plugs for subwoofer pairing. From there, you will get maybe something that will play louder, or have a di... | |
| Fine tuning the system. Where do you start and how do you proceed ? The Room. Absolutely the most important component in a sound system after your ears. | |
| Somebody Please Make This Already... The market is crying for a preamp with proper bass management. Straight through, HP out, Variable LP output, variable frequency and at least a couple HP/LP slopes. both balanced and unbalanced. Inputs and outputs. Throw in source switching, stereo... | |
| Why are DAC's so much more expensive than transports? To understand DACS you need to.understand the basic modules that comprise a DAC, what they do, and what, if any, impact they have on sound quality. That includes power supplies for both digital and analog circuits, digital input stages including W... | |

| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? Wow, lots of incredible combinations. Here's my add - March 1976, WSU Coliseum War (Cisco Kid, Lowrider) is the headliner. I was working as part of the local crew. The opening act is a band from Seattle with two female singers who'd just released ... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please Ba know I. The day I had my choice of Technics or JVC tables and settled on the JVC QL-7. Hands down better tonearm, better motor technology. Also better looking. A Denon DP-80 seemed kina spendy, and there was no dealer within 300 miles. Lots of ... | |
| "The room can totally wreck, or make, a system" Equalization and room correction software can only change what a speaker puts into the room, they can't do anything for what the room puts out in reflections and reverberation. Acoustical treatments are easy to do, and easy to overdo. I agree th... | |
| I should start with speakers. This I know. I’d like to establish a new system. @hilde45 You have given some great advice @toontrader let’s circle back on your room dimensions. They could be a real challenge or you could do something really specia. The long wall may very well play into an outstanding fit for large Magnepans ... | |
| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? My Hana SH is just fine for me, If I wear it out, I'll probably get the new Mark 2. They are simply that good. If I wanted a real everyday utility cart I'd probably go with an Ortofon 2M Blue. Under $200, no real bad habits, and if a guest or a ki... |
