| Need Info Re. Duntech Home Cinema System 100 Lifeislarge, I owned a pair of Duntech Princess speakers from 1990 until last year and I attempted to keep abreast of Duntech and DAL products during that time. I was also fortunate to have personal conversations with John Dunlavy on three occasio... | |
| StereoTimes Interview with Duke LeJeune/Audiokines Johnk, I think we have two separate concepts here. The equilateral triangle you mention is the relative spacing between the two speakers and the primary listening seat. And some manufacturers recommend an isosceles triangle.A separate consideratio... | |
| High End Audio and Your hearing as you get older Djohnson54, do you really believe RS had such quality control that all their meter had deviations of the same amount? That would be pretty tight non-quality control! ;-)I have a RS SPL meter that I've used for years, but only for measuring relativ... | |
| High End Audio and Your hearing as you get older Right Jtimothya, big difference between fundamentals and overtones. Listen to a test disc such as one of those produced by Stereophile. It may be surprising how high in frequency a 2K or 4K tone sounds. | |
| High End Audio and Your hearing as you get older Sorry guys, from studies I've seen males begin loosing higher frequency perception by our mid-twenties. This happens to females too but not as early. The thing is we are all different so we do not lose it at the same rate.I'm 68 and have worn hear... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Halcro, a review of Raul's system should suggest a few good vintage arms. I bought a Technics EPA-100 on his advice - a very versatile arm. He also likes specific Fidelity Research, Micro Seiki, Audiocraft, Audio Technica and Lustre arms, but that... | |
| Magic on Cleanse Electrical Power " road ". Several years ago I read a report by someone who essentially hard-wired his entire "humble" vintage Dyna tube system, from source inputs through to the speaker drivers. (I assume this excluded the cartridge pin connections!) Their report was absol... | |
| StereoTimes Interview with Duke LeJeune/Audiokines I should have added that I've never heard one of Duke's speakers and I've never spoken with him asking for any advice. But I hold him in high regard for his straight forward answers on the audio sites, even when it does not involve one of his spea... | |
| StereoTimes Interview with Duke LeJeune/Audiokines FYI, back in the mid-70s James Bongiorno gave a talk to our local audio club. Talking specifically about Magnepans, he recommended aiming them to cross 3-4 feet in front of the listener to widen the apparent "sweet spot". That seemed pretty radica... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths It seems after the conflicting "scientific" data in the attachment to my previous post (slate = MDF in resonance test) and the points Mosin offered, we are almost back to the drawing board. Meaning you must pick your material, build it, and see if... | |
| Best ARC tube amps for classical music? Axtl, I've heard but never owned a SP-10. They can sound wonderful. Many feel it is one of the best preamps ever made for a phono based system. Here are some considerations:* can be expensive to purchase due to reputation,* two box system w/ separ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew, your cartridges can live for another day. Even for your retirement if necessary.Take care of your family first. Then get that amp working. I realize you are wise enough not to need this advice, but a little friendly encouragement never hurts.... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths For those looking to quantify the resonance characteristics of various plinth materials, a fellow on Vinyl Engine seems to have done just that.http://qualia.webs.com/dampingfactorvalues.htmBut wait, from his data it seems that MDF and slate measur... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths My whole point was raised to try to understand the position of those who believe that the only worthwhile (valid?) comparison is when just one component is changed - the turntable in this case. Mapman perhaps presented my perspective best when he ... | |
| Art Audio with Tannoys I recently bought an Art Audio PX-25 to go with my C&C BEN single horn speakers. If it is a fair example of Art Audio designs they play stronger than their power ratings, while remaining both detailed and musical. |
