| Pioneer House Sound from the 70s Hey Rrog,I have an old Pioneer SX-939 powering a pair of VMPS RM2 speakers right now and I find the sound unexpectedly good. The bass is tight and deep, dynamics are surprisingly potent and the sound is detailed and fast yet easy on the ears. Trut... | |
| Benz Ruby 3 cartridge loading It it's not too bright sounding then you're fine. Otherwise, loading it down more will roll the highs a bit and increase the focus somewhat. | |
| Does this degrade sound? It would sound best if there were no balance control at all... | |
| The pursuit of bass... Hi Duke,Thanks for posting the "Equal Loudness Curves". This must give the speaker designer something to think about in that if you build a speaker with measured flat response between 3kz and 4kHz it will be perceived as "bright" by the average pe... | |
| Phono preamp selection The Nova Phonomena is very good sounding and is straight forward to use despite your initial impression. I have had a couple of GCPH units that hummed too much when using a low output moving coil. I agree about the D-cells in the Sutherland and do... | |
| small room... tube amp... summer Okay... I have a small-room system set up (14'x 11') in Tucson AZ. It does have an overhead ceiling fan and that works quite well. But I do limit my output tubes to 2 per side of either the EL34 or KT88 variety. No need for more that 50 or so watt... | |
| The Hub: Acoustat X: 'stats with tubes! I went through most of the Acoustat models and my favorites are the Monitor 3's and the 2+2's. I had a friend that did outrageous modifications to the Acoustat Servo-Charge amps back in the mid-80's. He changed the original tubes to higher-output ... | |
| The Hub: Acoustic Research - third in a series The AR-3a was one of my favorite speakers during the '70's. I used them mainly with a Dynaco ST-120 amplifier with AR-2ax's as rear channels in a "DynaQuad" setup. I had a Technics SL-1300 turntable with a Shure V15 Type III cartridge and later a ... | |
| My $99.00 System So if I got this right, you were free and clear although broke) and jumped right back into another marriage... If you married for the reason of getting a new 20' x 30' listening room, that would make sense. I hope this one works for you and the mu... | |
| best speakers for wyred 4sound sti- 500 Chazzbo... yeah, all class D amps sound "dry" is like saying all tube amps are "romantic, noisy, and not very resolving," and that all conventional solid-state amps sound "bright." Also, the statement does not take into account that when you optim... | |
| Emotiva vs. some bigger boys Rob, the Wyred 4 Sound ST-250 is priced at only $995, and sounds just as good as Wyred's more expensive amps... the main differences being power output and whether or not it is an integrated model. So if the Emotiva is priced at $800 and the Wyred... | |
| Emotiva vs. some bigger boys My money's on the Wyred 4 Sound amps for best bang for the buck. Also, the Wyred amps are a lot easier to lift than the Emotivas. After trying many very good amps I have two Wyred amps, the STI-500 and a ST-250. They replaced two other very good a... | |
| TAD-60 speaker connection The 4-ohm taps should have less distortion and better bass control into nominal 6-ohm rated speakers... although that doesn't necessarily mean you will like the sound better... Lots of folks love the sound of even-order harmonic distortion and "pu... | |
| Review: JBL Hartsfield Replica Speaker I've listened to Vinylvision's Hartsfield at his home and it is truly an excellent sounding (and well crafted)speaker... very open, natural (uncolored), and dynamic are all adjectives that come to mind.The Hartsfield is not just another JBL -- it ... |
