Anybody else using a distributed array sub system?
Oh ya, no idea about the Model Six. 
Anybody else using a distributed array sub system?
Quatro question was just for fun.  But also chance to offer my understanding to be corrected if necessary. 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
nandric, I agree you have two very fine tables and most hobbyists would be completely happy with either one.Years ago after the Kuzma products became available in the US I wanted to buy a Stabi Reference but could not afford one.  So I bought a st... 
Anybody else using a distributed array sub system?
Tim, if curious you might verify this with Richard.  This is my understanding.The first four models of Vandersteen speakers were identified One through Four.  The Four was the top of the line and similar in appearance to the others with a wood cap... 
Anybody else using a distributed array sub system?
Thanks Tim.  My comment was intended for anyone else reading this discussion as much as for you.I've been in the audio hobby for decades so am likely considered "old school", if not just an old fart.  That's why I adhere to the traditional definit...

Tim,"consist of 7 subs; the 2 in your main Vandersteens, the normal 4 Swarm subs driven by the supplied amp and an extra 5th Swarm "This may sound picky but it is a matter of definition.  Most often I've seen subwoofer defined as producing the low... 
Should I keep or sell my modded AR XA for a Rega RP3 or comparable deck?
Obviously you'd like the selected cartridge to fit the headshell.  Just remember this is a low mass arm so higher compliance cartridges should work best.  Popular choices were Grado, Shure, Pickering, ADC, etc.  Lots of choices new, and with a lit... 
Should I keep or sell my modded AR XA for a Rega RP3 or comparable deck?
mjperry96, I would not sell the AR-XA unless I could audition another player which I found I liked better.  And with your $500-800 budget I doubt you'll find anything better.I owned a couple of AR-XAs decades ago but more recently restored one for... 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
"to be the best TT at present". And how, gentle nandric, by your own logic, will you know this to be true? ;^)I don’t believe any of us could even name all the turntables available at present, let alone go through the rigors of evaluating and rank... 
What is Technics thinking?
For billallen and others, maybe I should explain my reason for starting all this a little further.I own a SP-10 Mk 2 and a SP-15, I'm a fan of Technics.  My interest in DD motor units and Technics in general was renewed a few years ago by discussi... 
Anybody else using a distributed array sub system?
Hi Tim,I'm a bit confused.  Is the DEBRA designed by/built for Romeyn and is similar to the Audiokinesis Swarm, or is it an additional Audiokinesis product sold by Romeyn?Your first link from Romeyn's site does not identify the author so I assume ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
mrubey, a comment from a long time hobbyist if I may.You mention an Analog Productions 45 album you purchased, "Someday My Prince Will Come".  That may be a great reissue, I've not heard it so cannot comment.  But I'll suggest to you the same as I... 
What is Technics thinking?
Thanks Bill, I look forward to an owner's comparison. 
What is Technics thinking?
"There will be no confusion."  Sorry, I don't agree.  I've read too many comments saying in effect that Technics simply raised the price of their DJ table to an unreasonable level.  Those folks fail to realize the SL-1200 was designed as a consume... 
What is Technics thinking?
paraneer, perhaps I was not clear.  My issue was not just "really to do with the aesthetics".The point was that after apparently a significant effort in engineering upgrades, Technics failed to provide much differentiation by model number or appea...
