| 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. | |
| Good Used Speakers ($8K-10K) For A Little Listening Room willemj,Response not measured. No need so long as my ears are pleased. Certainly my ears aren't going to be as precise as measurement tools, but I’m very familiar (like many here) with the sound of poor bass response (boat, room nodes, lack of c... | |
| Good Used Speakers ($8K-10K) For A Little Listening Room Depends on the small room.My room is 13' X 13', though more like 13' X 15' at it's greatest depth as there is a deeper bay window area behind the listening sofa. The room was renovated with the input of an acoustician. There is a 5 1/2' wide roo... | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range ozzy,I was also disappointed by the bass of the Focal Kanta 2 when I auditioned them. They were in a good room, well out from the wall, with room treatment. Yet I found the bass to have a over-ripe, quality that made it disconnected from the re... | |
| Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next? It's you.(By far the most reasonable explanation).I don't have quite the swings of "love it/hate it" but my system DOES strike me sometimes as starting to be unsatisfying in one way or another, and if I just stop listening for a little while (few ... | |
| Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars Well done!I only discovered Joseph Audio speaker within the last year or two (always hear of them, never heard them) and they are now among my favorite. I auditioned the Pulsars and the Perspective and still crave a pair of Perspective (which I h... | |
| Typical New Speaker Dealer Discount A Buyer May Expect nrenter I’m the same. I know how tough it is to make money in a niche service like high end audio. I hate haggling, feeling chintzy and trying to squeeze a dealer out of his earnings. I pay full price. |
