| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ahhh, back to the land of MM cartridges!Raul, did you see the selling price of the 100 Mk4? It was $1,324 with shipping!Now I would not blame you as selling price will be determined by whatever someone is willing to pay. But I would not pay that m... | |
| Acoustic Research AR9LS owners? Just for thought Sorry to say this but you will never realize the full potential of your speakers when placed out from the wall. Go to Classic Speakers site and read about the design of the AR-9 series. I think 3-4" is max. Most folks have the opposite problem, th... | |
| cayinA100 T tube amp Are you unhappy with the performance or your Cayin or just looking to get the most out of it you can?I have a Cayin A-300P which appears to have the same configuration. There is no active preamplifier stage, only a volume pot and input selector wi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew, I'm sure your quote is accurate. But that does not suggest Duke originated the concept. Hopefully, this will clear things up. It is quoted from a Stereo Times interview with Duke:"DL: The concept behind the Swarm arises from a brief conversat... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Halcro, no apology needed. I should have read your prior posts for more background.I have great respect for Raul's experience in audio but he is definitely swimming against the tide regarding DD plinths. Even Technics introduced three Obsidian pli... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Halcro, outstanding review. I agree fully with the other two complements (so far) on your efforts.However I must express one disappointment. You stated the "germ" for your project was the discussion on different plinth materials for DD tables. So ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, Lewm, all; perhaps I should not be commenting here since I've never owned a subwoofer. But several friends do and I expect to add them if I ever move and have a more accommodating room, so I have done a bit of listening and research.The poin... | |
| SS amp with tight deep bass ? You should be able to find an Eagle 2A for $1K or less. Hard to beat for bass. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, since we continue to discuss subwoofers (this is your thread so you can take it any place you please), I must say I agree with your points. In fact, it brings one experience to mind.Many years ago I was considering subwoofers and visited a v... | |
| Azimuth and the Fozgometer Didn't I read a projected price of $900 for the SoundSmith? | |
| Need a speaker for the blues lover... Beernut, sorry if this is too late. I was waiting for a specific model number from a friend. But if your deal does not go through or you are not satisfied, this could be a fall-back.A year or two ago this friend built a pair of speakers with compo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The need for low bass? Hope this does not seem OT but I'm responding to (supporting really) Lewm and DU's comments.Other than some electronic instruments, only five instruments produce tones below 40 Hz (tuba, contrabassoon, harp, piano and organ)... | |
| Dunlavy SCIV - What amp are you using? No_regrets, you make a VERY important point concerning room matching.As I've mentioned before, I owned a pair of Duntech Princess (older sibling to the SC-IV and IVa) for 19 years. During that time I heard the Sovereigns maybe half a dozen times, ... | |
| Dunlavy SCIV - What amp are you using? As I recall at various CES shows John used Spectron, Bel Canto (likely the SET 40), or Audio Research, depending on the year.I'm more familiar with Duntech models but I believe the DAL designs presented an easier load, thus lower output and tube a... | |
| Dunlavy SC-IV Help Meadowman, I owned the sibling Duntech Princess speakers for many years and possibly because they had different drivers and therefore crossovers, the reputation for DAL speakers was they required less power and were an easier drive. My Princesses ... |
