| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Re: laser levels.For anyone interested I have an inexpensive solution. I own a Lazerpro (CL2060) which is a 16" (38 CM) aluminum level with a built-in dot or line laser light. Place it on a nearby surface (check for horizontal with the built in bu... | |
| Best SME arm for TD-124? Salmonsc, I was about to post a comment similar to Stanwal's, it depends on your choice of cartridges. I believe that relationship is far more important than any arm/table matching. Mass, rigidity, geometry, and materials in the arm all come to pl... | |
| How do Dunlavys compared to new stuff? No_regrets, I saw your earlier post where you identified your amp. My comment implied that I only remembered that Dunlavy used a Bel Canto amp at the CES but I was unsure of the model. And my comment about lack of full bass extension was directed ... | |
| How do Dunlavys compared to new stuff? One year at the CES John Dunlavy used a Bel Canto amp (the SET-40 like No_regrets?) to drive the SC-IIIs. It may not have offered full bass extension but otherwise was one of the best sounds at that show.While respective models between Duntech and... | |
| How do Dunlavys compared to new stuff? Meadowman, when I had the Princesses I tried four 1" TipToes (aluminum cones) to couple each to my carpeted, wood-suspension floor. They transfered too much energy, exciting the wood floor. Overall balance was better with the speakers directly on ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? So Raul, the obvious questions -- how soon do you expect production, and have you posted any specs/pictures of your "final" prototype? Oh, and projected price (US$) would be good to know too. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew, and other "elder eyes" like myself; it seems some sort of vision enhancement is a requirement for any cartridge alignment. I also have a (metal version) Dennesen that I've used for many years. I use it with a 2" magnifier (marked 1/2" on the ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System The galleon captain says to his slave crew, "I have good news and I have bad news.""What's the good news?" they cried.He said, "We're going to Jamaica." The response was wild cheering.Then one of the crew ask, "So what's the bad news?"The captain ... | |
| How do Dunlavys compared to new stuff? River, I've been in this hobby for decades and after owning and auditioning more speakers than I can remember I bought a pair of Duntech Princesses, the older sibling to the DAL SC-IV. I ended up keeping them for 19 years, only selling them to dow... | |
| quad 2805 vs magnepan 1.7 Don't you just love it when someone asks a serious question about A versus B and some jerk feels compelled to chime in and say "ya godda try the Q instead"?They don't ask about room or amps or listening levels or musical preferences, or what the O... | |
| Adcom GFA-565's or Eagle 400 mono blocks Adcoms can be good, serviceable amps. Eagles/EKSCs can be great amps. A few years ago a friend had B&W 801s driven by a pair of EKSC 400 monos and I've never heard B&Ws sound better.I would agree they can sound (very) slightly bright in so... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul. Since this is your thread, I guess a diversion into amplifiers can be accepted. ;-)For 19 years I owned and enjoyed Duntech Princess speakers, which you heard during your visit. They are a very revealing speaker and unfortunately present ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Bad news Lew, the MSRP of the JC-1 is $9K. I think even Stereophile finally updated the price in their recommended components list.But that is said with my tongue in one cheek. Everything you say about value still applies. And I know someone who c... | |
| audio research There was much controversy on the SP-9 with conflicting reviews when new. I auditioned one from a dealer and thought it sounded wonderful. The one I bought was sealed in the box and did not sound nearly as good, so I returned it.I never followed u... | |
| Experience w/ 40-75 watt amps on Dunlavy IVs One year at the CES, John Dunlavy used a SET Bel Canto amp (sorry, I'm not familiar enough with them to identify model) to drive DAL SC-IIIs. Stanwal, if your friend is the same as mine it is not a similar system. My friend has Duntech Princesses ... |
