| Five feet from the front wall Based on my reading I agree with bdp24 regarding the 5' minimal placement, at least for dipoles. Bell Labs research determined the 10 ms minimal delay between direct and reflected sound for best clarity. That applies to side wall reflections as ... | |
| Tannoy Westminster’s Audition? A potential closer suggestion. Contact Jim Smith, a well know system and set up consultant ("Get Better Sound"). He lives near Atlanta and previously used Tannoy Canterbury SEs in his main system. He may know of any Westminster owners in the so... | |
| Synthesis Amplifiers: One of High End's Best Kept Secrets? Thanks @woodsage. If the A100 Titan is wired the same as your Synthesis gear then my suggestion was a waste of time. Oh well, doesn't hurt to try being helpful. | |
| KEF R3 Meta's - too much for my Marantz Model 30? painter, you won't be wasting your or the dealer's time if you are serious about the KEFs. You want to know about the match, and they can't expect a sale with every demo. | |
| Synthesis Amplifiers: One of High End's Best Kept Secrets? walter, yes, be very careful what you touch inside the amp. Remove all the tubes before turning it over and removing the bottom cover. Don't want any accident with those. Take whatever photos as necessary of original wiring to be certain all co... | |
| Synthesis Amplifiers: One of High End's Best Kept Secrets? Walter/Chris, and others, re: biasing problem. Years ago I got a pair of Cary 100w mono amps. I enjoyed the sonic match with my speakers at that time but was frustrated that the bias pots were installed inside the amp chassis. Needless to say a... | |
| Technic’s Malaysian turntables …QC experience/ feedback from actual users/owners? I bought a new 1200G from Galen Carol a few months ago. No quality problems at all. A beautiful sounding table and arm, very musically satisfying. | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. @mirolab, that single file seating sounds like the Sanders electrostatic speaker set up. I've seen it at multiple audio shows. It doesn't appeal to me either. Now I don't remember ever seeing ET speakers at an audio show. But all the photos or... | |
| Turntable Isolation Journey @pindac, by Cabinet Type I assume you mean any traditional box speaker, not a panel speaker. That is not a term I usually see. I've read other positive comments on the AT 616 footers over the years but they are difficult to find I think. Not su... | |
| Turntable Isolation Journey @mulveling, yes Target make wall mounts but mine is a 5-shelf floor model. The unit itself is steel I believe and quite heavy, so with added components (the Technics is surprisingly heavy) the total mass is substantial. Then beyond the turntable... | |
| Turntable Isolation Journey mulveling, I'm late to the party but want to add my thanks for your information and starting this helpful discussion. Somewhere I read a recommendation for this product. I've not tried it but it seems to be a very inexpensive device to try. It ... | |
| Stupid Asking Prices- Why Don't Sellers Read Audiogon The Blue Book First? I haven't seen a copy of the Blue Book for years. When I did it was my impression that wholesale (buyer) prices were low-ball to assist dealers in determining trade-ins. In my experience at the time average selling prices on the major classified... | |
| Dynaco A25 -Hard to Believe Nice to see this as I have a history with A-25s. I didn't own them during the '70s when they sold in large numbers, but a local record store had two pair mounted at angles where the walls met the ceiling at either end of the room. I was always f... | |
| Good speakers for Parasound Halo JC1 mike, I owned Duntech Princess speakers for 19 years. Over that time I tried several amps, tube and SS. The best match which I ended up with was a pair of JC-1s. Duntechs have not been imported to the US for many years but the hint from those w... | |
| Paul McGowan gets asked about rotary subs. @bdp24, seems like we share a few perceptions. For years I've set a goal for 40 Hz bass in speakers I've owned. Not necessarily flat down to that frequency, but at least reasonable output. I'm a big jazz fan and the 42 Hz (as I've typically rea... |
