Open Baffle Opinions - I Won't go back to Boxed Speakers Evr Again (maybe....)
To expand a little on Ralph and bdp's comments, many years ago Bell Labs research found that a delay of at least 10 ms between direct and and reflected sound increased clarity and definition.  Any time less that that leads to smearing of informati... 
Duntech repairs?
This is all quite unfortunate.  As I recall, Duntech has not had an importer in the US since around the time John Dunlavy opened DAL.  And since DAL has been closed so long that can be a problem for those owners as well.  Also, as far as I know Du... 
Rogers LS/35A Classic Mini Monitors Reviewed ! WOW
I remember the dealer in San Diego, Audio Directions, sold them.  One of the owners, Ike, liked to say there were practically no agreements in audio except that the LS3/5a was EVERYONE's second favorite speaker. 
Who Else Has a Collection of 78 RPM Records?
Hi mijostyn,Here are some resources I found.For cleaning:  https://www.loc.gov/preservation/care/record.htmlUnfortunately 78s are not that simple for decent playback.  They had variations such as speed (not all 78), groove width (thus different st... 
Cayin A-300b vs Muzishare x9
I never heard of Muzishare, but that doesn't mean much since I haven't been shopping in this range.  But why does it have four 300Bs if it is a single ended design?Some years ago I owned a Cayin 300P, a push-pull version producing 20 wpc.  Apparen... 
I Have Airborne Feedback And Never Realized It...Till Now
In my previous home my components sat on two shelves fitted into a 5' wide alcove along a side wall in the listening room.  I happened to have placed the turntable at the far right end of the upper shelf.One day I happened to lean over the turntab... 
Your advice needed, speakers to buy $8K to $13K
Lots of good suggestions here.  From my experience I'd audition Vandersteen, Maggies, and Joesph Audio.  But for my taste I'd choose Janszen. 
Chet Backer - Craft Recordings
Was he one of the Backer Brothers? ;^) 
Dunlavy resurrection?
vine, while I've heard different DAL models I don't know as much about them as the Duntechs.  My impression was that John cut some corners in producing his DAL models to keep prices as competitive as possible.  With a casual glance the comparable ... 
Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment.
I agree with erik.  If this silliness is not kenjit then it must be his brother.  It's just dumb. 
Dunlavy resurrection?
vine, I owned and enjoyed a pair of Duntech Princess (older sibling to the SC-IV/a) for 19 years.  No problem with the Dynaudio tweeter in all that time.After John moved back to the US and opened DAL I spoke with him a few times at the Vegas CES. ... 
preamp for manley
BB, those are very good amps.  When I got mine I also bought a Jumbo Shrimp (don't you just love those names?).  As expected, it is a great match and you should be happy with one.But then I learned about the Sachs and after some investigation I or... 
Record Cleaner Advice?
Neil and all,I'm surprised this post seems to have gone dormant.  I would have thought there might be more interest, thus further questions and comments.For what it's worth I'll mention two parts of my cleaning procedure with the VPI 16.5, for tho... 
Record Cleaner Advice?
keegiam, you started this ball rolling and I thought that deserved some credit too. 
Record Cleaner Advice?
This is a wonderful, most helpful post.  So thanks to keegiam, Bill H, Bill S, and Neil for the links and information.I've been using a VPI 16.5 for more than 20 years.  Until I began reading about ultrasonic cleaning I was satisfied that wet/vacu...
