| Looking for $20k system for Mahler No 6 DH, you mention you have tried a number of different architectures when it comes to audio. Have you ever tried horn loaded speakers?Horn loaded speaker have sonic signature that may be what will float your boat when it comes to Mahler and Tchaikov... | |
| Looking for $20k system for Mahler No 6 DH just messing with you but I am blessed I cannot tell the difference. [between different cables] And I did blind-test with well-known local audiophiles a few years ago, most of us picked cheapest electric power cable as the best speaker cabl... | |
| Denon 103r ???? I performed surgery on a standard 103. I'll keep my 103R for comparison until I decide to do the same thing. A std DL103R is not even close as good as a wood body DL103. I suggest you buy two bodies. You'll want to do the DL103R a few seconds aft... | |
| Tuning a back loaded horn Thanks for the response John. I try some Madisound wool.Would I start by putting some wool in behind the driver or close to the mouth of the horn? I have a sachiko design (from the Frugal Horn website) with 206 fostex, and I want to bring the uppe... | |
| Denon 103r ???? Pedrillo, the std DL103R is a edgy and harsh. A world class arm like the Graham will expose that.Remember, you have $300 cart on a $3500 tonearm. The big problem with the DL103 and DL103R is the very cheap plastic body that resonates. Once you get... | |
| Tweeking further for the denon 103r. Use a wood body on the DL103 and DL103R. The cartridge loses all the edginess and harshness, and becomes totally fluid and musical. The wood body also adds mass, so you can throw away the leadshot.RegardsPaul | |
| SET friendly speakers w/ slam? A moderately to high sensitivity driver (fostex, lowther) in a well designed back loaded horn. Since going single driver all other speakers put me to sleep and I mean that literally.RegardsPaul | |
| The best George Bizet Carmen on vinyl Thanks guys. I am particularly fond of Carmen and I have somewhat nostalgic memories of my mom dragging me, moaning and protesting, to the opera as a youngster. Sadly, I have never found a version of Carmen that really takes me back. After spendin... | |
| Question about Cary V12 amplifiers Have a look and see if the wire to the led has not come loose. Mine came loose a few times and all I had to do is stick it back.RegardsPaul | |
| Why do amps sound different? These amps measure the same on the test bench, but why do they sound different? They measure the same? What did you measure? | |
| Silliest audiophile equipment of all time? Kurt, none of Geoff's tweaks are silly. They are after all, all good earners. Nothing silly about making money.The folks that purchase his tweaks are the ones that aren't the sharpest tools in the shed.RegardsPaul | |
| System sounds different at different times Why? Itacud, in addition to some of the comments above, ambient noise will also effect how you perceive your sound.RegardsPaul | |
| Schumann Resonance and it's effect on music Rprince, I dont think MD is behind this, but this device clearly targets the same market segment. Enough said.RegardsPaul | |
| What tonearms work with denon 103r? Pedrillo, I have used a stock DL103R and later a wood bodied DL103 and DL103R on a Graham 2.2 and I found it to work very well. I found it worked best with VTF of around 2.5 and I used a lot of damping fluid. I have tried DL103's on Morch UP4, SME... |
