| Dunlavy SC VI's... I always felt Mr. Dunlavy recommended long wall placement to keep the speakers as far from sidewalls as possible in an average living room. Also, he apparently didn't mind the bass loading of having the listener's head so close to a wall as most s... | |
| Dunlavy SC VI's... Jim, from what I know of the DAL speakers, the VI, V and IV are very similar except for bass response. Therefore I'll suggest doing a search with all three to add to your information base.Good luck and have fun. | |
| Dear Fellow SC IVA owners Every room is different, to say nothing of our differences in personal taste.When I owned my Princesses, I went through a careful exercise to achieve the smoothest bass response in my living room. Note that was different than seeking the maximum b... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Interesting stuff Dertonarm. Even though they have very solid reputations, the Kuzma arms are obviously way down the "quality audio" scale. Their Stogi arm utilizes ABEC 5 bearings while the Stogi Reference has ABEC 7. This then is likely just abo... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Lew, wild guess here. On Vinyl Asylum there has been some discussion of boiling rubber tt belts to restore original tension, apparently as recommended by VPI. I'm wondering if you could boil your warped mat in an appropriately sized pan to see if ... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Lew, not to muddy the waters but I believe there was more than one mat for the Technics. My Mk2A has the matching mat as the parts list, SFTG172-01. I saw another on a Mk2 that had more circular ribs and seemed to be lighter/less hard. I don't kno... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? FYI, the supply of Azden cartridges sold out while I waited for a confirmation from the seller that it included the standard mount adapter. My caution meant I missed getting one. | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Derton, regarding your 2/20 post detailing your experience with various arms, one point is not clear to me. As I read it, one of your main concerns relates to ". . . stress on the cantilever/suspension system of the cartridge mounted. And it does ... | |
| Dear Fellow SC IVA owners Unsound, the manual for my Princess showed an equilateral triangle for speakers and prime listening seat. Also, I had the pleasure of chatting with John a couple of times in person and discuss speaker set up. Equilateral is what he advocated and h... | |
| Dear Fellow SC IVA owners Hi Jonathan. I owned Duntech Princess (older sibling to the DAL SC IV) for 19 years and have four friends who also owned or still own that model. Based on that I've had quite a bit of experience with rooms, placement, amps, etc.I absolutely agree ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Any recommendations for a glue that could be broken/cut when stylus replacement time rolls around? I would guess Super Glue and similar products to be too permanent. But what about a clear glue intended for plastic models like cars, planes, etc.?O... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, thanks for the reply. But if I'm not out of line for suggesting it, whenever you test a cartridge that does not come up to your expectation but believe more playing time might help, why write a comment at that time? Why not wait until you ar... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, I understand that your 1-10 rating system is purely a subjective way to order the relative performance of the many cartridges you test. And so long as we do not get hung up by thinking "I'd better get rid of X because it is only a 7 so I can... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Axel, I like your theory. Furthermore, I believe it applies to every component in our respective systems, not just these dust-gathering cartridges. | |
| Cassette deck enthusiasts...... Two (or three) options with very good performance but less hype than the Naks (which were good once you got above the 400 series) were any of the three-head versions of Aiwa and Pioneer and Pioneer Elite. |
