| 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. | |
| 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. |
