| Parasound JC 1 or Musical Fidelity KW 550? Elly, unless someone has tried both amps with the N802s, this is nothing but a popularity poll. Even then, that individual's taste may be different than yours.I've owned large, 3-way, five driver, floor standing speaker for years and have tried ma... | |
| Omni directional speakers Sonab speakers were well researched in their design. Read about them and their designer, Stig Carlsson, here.http://www.carlssonplanet.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=10571310094a7e07d0cbf02dd8bb9f14 | |
| RIAA Equalized Turntable Keith, unless your turntable has a built-in phono stage, it has nothing to do with the signal, RIAA or otherwise.All electrically recorded records are made with some sort of EQ to prevent overloads in the recording process. So the signal picked up... | |
| Speakers that can be placed against the wall? To be more specific regarding Unsound's comment, consider a pair of Vandersteen VSM speakers with a pair of Vandy subs. The VSM was designed as a surround speaker for home theater, thus voiced for on wall placement. Just as with any audio brand, n... | |
| High power mono amplifier for 15 inch dual sub? Check out Eagle or EKSC. They offer very good full range amplification but may be best known for use as woofer amps. | |
| idler wheel vs direct drive technics impressions Audiohifila, I happen to know Elliot and agree he is knowledgeable so should do a good job. That information eliminates #1 from my list. Personally, I believe the other reasons remain valid for learning it yourself.You obviously have a passion for... | |
| Lenco plinth? How big is too big? Lewm, I had the same impression from Ralph's arm mount description and the same sense of caution. In ongoing design for my SP-10 plinth, I'm intending to bolt down the armboards (2) with brass machine screws. Each armboard will be 3/4" thick and r... | |
| idler wheel vs direct drive technics impressions Audiohifila, reasons to learn set up for yourself (siding with Stringreen, etc.):1. "Professional" set up is a meaningless term. Certainly a few dealers (such as Brook Berdan in LA area) have long experience and real knowledge, but how will you kn... | |
| Vandersteen 5A I'm turned off by most every system I've heard that includes a subwoofer(s) -- I've got that extra bass and by God I'm going to use it! And this includes manufacturers and dealers at audio shows.Some time ago I read advice suggesting with the prop... | |
| Would Montana EPX be too big for my room? Suggest you contact PBN Audio and pose your question to Peter. He should be able to advise you better than anyone on the best model to work in your room. | |
| When cantilever not parallel to cartridge sides Rather than a new car with a pushed in fender, one where the wheels were not aligned. That is the effect you have here -- mis tracking.Cartridge set up/alignment can compensate for a few degrees of manufacturing error. As others suggested, use the... | |
| QUESTION ON LP If it is a "78", it is not an LP. LP stands for long-play which at 33.3 rpm provides more than 5 minutes playing time per side (most are 14 to 20 minutes and some examples exceed 20 minutes). 78s have a maximum playing time under 5 minutes. The mo... | |
| Speakers that disappear My Advents disappeared while I was at work. This was many years ago but when I came home they were gone, along with the Marantz receiver.But for a more serious answer, I would begin with room treatments and placement, as suggested by others. I do ... | |
| Power amp Suggestions for Dunlavy SC-IV trin, I have Duntech Princess, the older sibling to your DAL SC-IV. After trying many amps over the years, the best match I've found is the Halo JC-1 monoblocs. Unfortunately they are way above your budget, even used.Your speakers will be revealin... | |
| Sumiko MMT vs SME IIIs on Sota Sapphire Your choice of arm should be based on the cartridge(s) used, or vice-versa. Look for threads by Raul regarding the importance of matching cartridge and arm.This begins with the arm mass/cartridge compliance optimization but based on Raul's experie... |
