DUNLAVY SC-VI
OK, sounds like some options may still be open here so I'll jump in one more time.Since you are/will be building the room, why square? If you are locked in to a foundation already constructed, look for ways to open the new room into an existing sp... 
DUNLAVY SC-VI
A good friend had Duntech Princess (more similar to DAL SC-IV) in a 20x20 room with a 9' vaulted ceiling and they sounded fantastic.HOWEVER, read any source on acoustic design and they all recommend against a square room (avoid standing wave reinf... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Lew, I don't mean to sound picky but your comments are normally quite precise. In describing your 980LZS audition you stated, "This brought it back to life, so there is some life left in the stylus after all." That could imply to a newbie that pla... 
Well Tempered Classic or Technics SP10Mk2
Bob, looks like you have sufficient response to make your decision. But I'll add a little reinforcement.Years ago I owned an original (square motor) WTTT and arm. It played music but was responsive to improvements such as the new black platter, a ... 
How far do you sit from your speakers
Awahlster, I dont't mean to sound rude but why would you ask this without identifying your speakers or room condition? How far away that I sit has absolutely nothing to do with your listening situation.Monitor speakers, FRD or two and 2.5 way spea... 
DBP-10 Protractor Instructions......
I have read Raul's posts for the past three years or more, exchanged personal messages with him, and had the pleasure of meeting him in person when he visited my city. I believe he has been one of the most valued posters on Audiogon in sharing his... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
I never read about the "Temperature Defensive" Dumper but a friend has an EPC-100 Mk 4 that he bought new, oh so many years ago. He always claimed it was the most musically accurate cartridge he ever owned (he has quite a bit of experience making ... 
Name the tube amp in the Lexus commercial

Mono cartridge classification
Jonathan, thank you so much for your clarifications and added information. I was guilty of using the term "narrow profile" but in my own defense, I was thinking front to back, not side to side for stylus dimensions.Your information makes me wish e... 
Mono cartridge classification
Hesson11, I've looked into EQ devices, including the Re-Equalizer, but have not purchased anything as yet. I began a major change in my system last year, going to HE speakers and a 300B PP amp. I've also picked up a few cartridges following inspir... 
Mono cartridge classification
Hesson11, thanks for the link to Carr's information. Nothing like going to the horse's mouth! Here is information I posted on VA some time ago. Mr. Carr's information seems to correct part of that -"I believe you must first consider which records ... 
Mono cartridge classification
Hesson11, I've posted comments on selecting stylus size relative to the records to be played here and elsewhere and thank you for your added descriptions. I've also read the suggestion that Lyra narrow profile styli are recommend for mono playback... 
I want to know if the kuzma stabi s with stogi s
Never used the S-version arm or table but I've found the Kuzma products to be very well engineered and built. I've owned a Stogi Reference (arm) and Stabi (table) for years and would not hesitate to recommend them. The more I've learned about thes... 
Do I need a phono stage? noob needs help
In those thrilling days of yesteryear, nearly all receivers and preamps included a built in phono stage. But since the increase of digital sources and the decrease of interest in vinyl playback, more manufacturers have eliminated the phono stage. ... 
Extra outputs on a Joule LA 100 MK III?
Many pre amps/line stages include a tape loop. They will usually have jacks for Tape In and Tape Out on the rear. The Joule uses an isolated switching design for a tape loop and your second pair of jacks may be considered the same as Tape Out.So l...
