| Thiel Owners I auditioned the much-hyped Paradigm Persona 3F speakers today. They were very impressive in many ways, balanced, open, detailed, clean.But I'll say this: when I got home and put the same music on my Thiels, I felt like hugging my Thiels :-) | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! Ended up at home depot looking around today. All sorts of possibilities went through my mind. For one thing, while they didn't have any granite slabs to take home, I grabbed instead some 3/4" MDF to place on top of the flimsy MDF shelf of the Lo... | |
| Thiel Owners Rob,I agree with you about the looks of the 2.7s ,they are gorgeous the 3.7s kinda look like a skinny r2d2.Ha, just this weekend I had a guest say the 3.7s looked like a skinny R2D2!Having hosted a gathering of pals, I was doing a little poll as t... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! BTW,I was originally going to purchase a frosted block of acrylic as the base on which to place the turntable. My rational was that, while the Transrotor turntable is beautifully made, I'm not crazy about silver as an aesthetic. So I intended to... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! honeypooi,Your rack does look similar. Nice job on those maple blocks, love the look! | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! Good for you! I'd need the higher rated ones anyway as they'll carry somewhere around 84 pounds above them.I don't bother placing anything under the rest of my sources these days, so a one time expenditure for under the turntable (as I find it mo... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! bdp24,Oh, so YOU bought those used ones! In my research I saw that add.I did find someone who owned them, answering a question about their dimensions. He said of the height: between 65mm, and when fully compressed 40mm.That should work for me. | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! Thanks for the input, folks.I've read that loading sand is more finicky than rice into the Lovan, especially insofar as the Lovan pipes don't have a really tight seal and something as fine as sand spills out unless you go to further lengths to sea... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! BTW, FWIW...My audio racks are located in another room down the hall, well away from the listening room, so isolating them from speaker sound isn't a big issue. Nor is isolating from footsteps - nobody is usually walking around when I'm listening... | |
| Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio "In our hobby the only factor that is matter is our hearing and no 'scientific' neither 'science' theory will tell me what is good or bad for my hi fi system, "Oh dear.If you feel it; it's real! Yep, in this hobby, lets just pretend science nev... | |
| Sanders 10e I totally get the viewpoint "I don't care if there is a small speaker sweetspot since I sit in that spot to listen critically anyway."It's much like the justification some on the AV forums gave for getting along fine with LCD display's limited vie... | |
| Thiel Owners nkonor,I appreciate your being my audiophile conscience :-)I certainly know what you mean about hearing something off with a set up, knowing that I would have sold the system that didn't have such faults.On the other hand, I also have other things... | |
| Thiel Owners nkonor,I will indeed watch that sale. I’m really liking the 2.7s. I hit a "sweet spot" in positioning them which gave me the best depth and tonality. Now they are getting more soundstage depth like the 3.7s. Tonally the sound is ravishing on the 2... | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions To balance out the more cranky posts:Dealers, keep posting here, I appreciate your input.:-) | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions Audio Doctor,On a supportive note: I have no problem with dealers posting. I think most dealers are enthusiasts like us and the fact they have listened to and have access to a wide range of gear makes a dealer's input *potentially* valuable. I'... |
