| Single driver speakers - opinions T_Bone, the bass compares favorably with that of my Meadowlarks. The Madisons need no bass reinforcement as mine are 6-7 from the walls. Soundwise, the Meadowlarks now put me to sleep. They sound so terribly slow compared to the Madisons that I ... | |
| Single driver speakers - opinions TBone, the curve also seem to indicate a 10db drop from 90Hz to 50Hz, but in reality my Madisons are very strong in the bottom. I can easily compare them with my HT speakers which are Meadowlark Shearwaters which are rated -3db at 34Hz.Obviously m... | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? Zanth, a 834P can be made to sound great. The question is, do you have the skills or know who to hire with said skills to do the mods to make it sound great? 09-23-08: Mgreene Once all, as in ALL, the mods are made, it is no longer the "834P" it i... | |
| Single driver speakers - opinions Have to agree with JohnK on this one. I have both Fostex 126E and 206E speakers, and there is no way the 126E gives a better soundstage granted in my case the 206E is in a much more expensive cabinet but the 206E provides better delicacy, detail... | |
| Belt stretch In defense of RcccAmazing how stylus drag can make a belt stretch even when the platter mass exceeds 10, 20 or even 30 pounds, yet somehow unclamped LPs on felt mat do not slip on the platter!So funny how the direct drive folks boast about speed s... | |
| How can we settle for digital? 09-07-08: Honest1 Even at 1.2 plays / week for 50 years (your numbers), that's a lot of listening to the same record. But if you enjoy it, that's cool. Peace. Don't underestimate how much Bill likes Abba's "dancing queen" :-)Seriously though, I h... | |
| Single driver speakers - opinions Mrjsark. I have used small BLHs from Johnk and the later upgraded to a Madison (double mouthed BLH) from Carder sound. Ill never ever go back to a multi-driver speaker again.I use low(ish) powered SET/SEP amplifiers, and the benign impedance curv... | |
| No escrow? Look at the sellers rating. If he/she has a high rating you should be ok.Personally, I don't ship until I have been paid and I have always been ok to pay upfront. In many years of dealing on Audiogon I have not had any big issues ... yet.RegardsPaul | |

| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones 08-21-08: Pubul57 Of course, I have no idea of fuses making a difference in sound is or isn't grounded in sound engineering. Anything that can affect the power supply can potentially affect the sound. The power supply is what delivers the B+ bias... | |
| Capacitor burn in, Capacitor Cooker? Need help... Wire them in series with any 100 watt lamp and let them run a week or two.Not recommended for low voltage polarized lytics.RegardsPaul | |
| Best Entry Tonearm for Oracle V Mranfft. I used a Morch UP4 on my Delphi V and it seemed to be a very good match. What cart are you thinking of using?RegardsPaul | |
| Good, Affordable Horns? Mapman, I am assuming your question is related to bass augmentation of the rear wall/corners. My personal experience is that they work best about 5 to 6 feet from the rear wall. They most certainly dont need a corner or rear wall to augment the b... | |
| Good, Affordable Horns? Hi Mapman. The Cardersounds are really great. Highly recommended.RegardsPaul | |
| 15 watts & 94 db eff. speakers: how loud? Thomp9015, are you measuring the SPL to be 97db when you hear the clipping? While 97db SPL does present a doubling of sound pressure from 94db, it will not sound twice as loud to you. It takes about a 10db increase in sound pressure for human to p... |
