| Dear Fellow SC IVA owners Thanks Unsound. There is enough mis-information on the internet without my adding to it. ;-)Probably what I was thinking of, the Duntech baffle step backs are open on the sides to help dispersion. My recollection is the DAL speaker's sides are not. | |
| Dear Fellow SC IVA owners I'd like to clean up a few points here before the end of the year. ;-)Yes, I was wrong to call Dunlavy designs D'Appolito arrays. I do know John Dunlavy liked symmetrical driver arrays because they simulated a point source speaker when matching mi... | |
| Cartridge life really only 3 years?? Hi Kk. I too am a long term hobbyist except I never abandoned vinyl. As suggested by other posts here, I believe three things can happen to a cartridge, other than accidental physical damage.Stylus wear - The normal use expectancy for a diamond st... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, thanks for your source recommendation on Empire 4000DIII loading. It may be one difference between earlier 4000DIIIs and the Gold version (there is at least one other). At first I thought the 100K might have been a typo on the VE site. But I... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul, you posted "the Empire 4000DIII was designed to " see " 100K on load impedance". Where does this come from?I just received an Empire 4000D III and the instruction sheet calls for 47K loading. I'm not disagreeing with a 100K recommendation... | |
| Jazz must have pressings??? Coltrane, interesting choice for a moniker by someone who asks for "must have" jazz lists. ;-)The problem is that the field of jazz is so diverse, to recommend recordings to someone I don't know is a very difficult task. As I understand your post ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dertonarm, Syntax, I checked the Klyne website but could not find any articles or papers. Could one of you post a link?Thanx | |
| Best Phono solid state under 2K? JLTi would be the top of my list. Otherwise, a number of quality units may be available used, that all depends on timing and pricing (I know, not much help there). It will depend on what you can find. | |
| Magnepan owners : past / present Two comments - In the late '70s I had to downsize ($ wise) my system and ended up with a used pair of MG IIs driven by a Sansui AU 717. I don't recall the output of that amp but it was close to 100 wpc. It was a magical match and through several s... | |
| If you could only keep 5 Lp vinyl which ones I only have 3,000 LPs so my task is MUCH easier than Elizabeth's. While jazz is my overall favorite category, I must choose for variety. And that means samplings from several styles:*Miles -- Kind of Blue (this would be #1 no matter how many I got... | |
| What speaker for being close to rear wall? Agree on the wall description. If it is the wall in front of the listener how can it be the "rear wall"?Now for the problem (regardless of what you call it). Bass frequencies load up (are emphasized) at room boundaries. Any two planes (such as wal... | |
| Acoustic Research AR9LS owners? Just for thought Agarrison, again I must ask if you ever went to the Classic Speakers site and read the information on the AR-9 series? There is much good information on these speakers, including design concepts and the resulting set up recommendations. | |
| Acoustic Research AR9LS owners? Just for thought So many questions, such difficult answers.You stated upfront your speakers are "mint condition" and "done right". First of all I don't believe any speaker will be mint condition after 25 years -- too many parts will age even if unused. Second, don... | |
| Acoustic Research AR9LS owners? Just for thought Agarrison, you need to search the link to Classic Speakers and go to the AR section and find information on the design of the AR-9 series. It all relates to room loading, frequency range of woofers and mid-woofers, and crossover points. Then you m... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Halcro, what is the weight of your TT-81? You may be "plinth-less", but with 25 pounds for each arm pod the total mass loading on your laminated shelf must be around 100 pounds, possibly more.Again, beautiful design and execution. |
