| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? "I've noticed that small manufacturers are frequently arbitrary and a bit nutty. "Yup. Noticed this too. Similar to obsessives who run smaller high end audio stores.There was a guy who ran an audio store for a long time near me who had tons of s... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! First, thanks for the previous replies.Ok, so my buddy came over today to re-set the cartridge and check it out. It seems like the cartridge is ok, thank goodness.Though after re-aligning it the sound changed. Before the cartridge was knocked ... | |
| Is Agon becoming the eBay of audio? So far I’ve only had good experiences on Audiogon (and on Canuck Audio Mart). With the exception of one foreign seller who turned out to be shady and thankfully I didn’t bite.I endeavor to be as honest and descriptive as possible when I sell, and ... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? When I am describing musicality, I can use only words that convey feelings, emotions, and physical motions like toe-tapping (thanks, ctsooner!). Well, ok, but as I said I think that’s useless. My toe taps to everything on my car radio. And to spea... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? audiotroy,I think it depends on what we mean by "aggressive." Certainly trumpets have a lot of acoustic power and can play in the high frequencies. In that sense they can sound aggressive. But when it comes to hi fi reproduction, "aggressive" tend... | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range I agree with alucard19's suggestion.I auditioned the Kanta and the Paradigm Persona speakers and the Persona has the same type of clarity in the mids and highs as the Focal (maybe better), but is more neutral top to bottom, with excellent, integra... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? Roy,I still don’t understand what *you* mean with the term “musical.” I can’t find any other content here aside from you liking certain systems. And I have to admit I long ago grew uncomfortable with some of the elitism in high end audio where som... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? Roy,The problem I have with your use of the term "musical," and the use of that term in general, is that it is so subjective as to be essentially uninformative. One person's sterile/analytical is another person's "musical." One person's rich an... | |
| Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars I extensively auditioned the Pulsars and the Perspectives. The Pulsars were fabulous but once I heard the Perspectives they blew me away even more. I still hope to own a pair in the (not too distant) future. I also find them to be among the most... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! folkfreak,Yes it's exactly that AS tonearm (12"). It was sort of "unscrewed" slightly when I found the cartridge pointed a bit off center. Slightly tightening that top screw holding the cartridge on seemed to tighten up the cartridge to the arm o... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! I put a record on the turntable (not playing it) and dropped the needle. The cartridge/needle appears to sit fine on the record. Does that tell me anything? | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! mulveling,Are you trying to plunge me into full depression?The Benz Micro L was a much more expensive cartridge than I'd ever have bought myself and the fact the seller was throwing it in as part of the deal on the turntable was a selling point. ... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!Months of waiting to hear my new turntable, months of researching in isolation and re-making my stand and turntable base.I got two days of listening to it.And my cleaning lady takes out my EXPENSIVE CARTRIDGE!!... | |
| Can anyone who has heard Raidho X-1s and Harbeth M30.1s discuss the sound? I demoed the Raidho X1s (and C 1.2), as well as the Harbeth line.You don't need my input at this point, but fwiw....the Raidho actually has a reputation for a contoured sound, a dip in the presence region etc to sound "right" to the ear and more n... | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range ozzy,I'm not one to ask about subwoofers. I've only just bought some JL subs myself (110E) that I'm going to try and integrate with my Thiel speakers. I'm a total newbie with subs. |
