Brass screws make a real difference on Dunlavy s ?
Brasier, I owned Duntech Princess speakers for 19 years, though I no longer have them. The Duntech models do have inserts/machine screws, no idea about DAL models.Like Rcprince, I found it was beneficial to tighten screws and checked them about on... 
EL34 & 6L6 characteristics
Hi Saki, I'm not sure this will help but I'll go ahead and share.I've been in this hobby for decades and owned many different amps, both tube and SS. My first stereo was a Dynakit ST-70 with EL-34s and later I had a Marantz 8B, followed by a MR RM... 
The story of Grado Labs
Yes, Grado is known for their headphones. But they made their name with phono cartridges, so why the headphone title and why not post this in Analog? I haven't read it yet if that is explained.Not picking on you Lizziemakes but there seems to have... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Lew, that is what I remembered but wanted to be sure.Richard, thanks for adding your comments. 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Lew, does Krebs address the mat with his modification procedure? If not, does he have a recommendation?Thanks 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Don, unless he changed his policies that is not true. Peter corrected a cantilever alignment/suspension problem for me with a vdH cartridge.Now that was a couple of years ago. 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Lew, re: elevated LPs?This seems to be popular in Great Britain, I believe the source of the Ringmat. And that company may or may not have produced an earlier version utilizing a number of cork dots (smaller than a quarter) to suspend the record.A... 
Floor Stander with Small Footprint 7K - 15K
I'm surprised Janszen zA2.1 has not been suggested yet. Clearly they fit the size and price measures. I suspect with an audition they would satisfy the musical requirements as well. 
Parasound halo JC2 what a joke
This basic rant was also posted over on Audio Asylum. As someone responded there we're only hearing one side of the story. It would be interesting to hear Parasound's side of things. 
Dunlavy SC IV extra tweeter felt?
I wonder if there might be some confusion here about whether the thick wool felt was utilized to closely surround specific drivers or actually attached to the cones/domes of drivers?Felt being "present" for example is pretty vague.My assumption in... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Lew, brief power cord story -One of my best audio buddies (who we unfortunately lost last year) had decades of experience with electronics, audio components, and on-site recording. So he approached problems with a background of technical knowledge... 
Dunlavy SC IV extra tweeter felt?
The heavy wool felt surrounding tweeters and mids on John Dunlavy's speakers were intended to reduce refections and improve imaging. That was never attached to the drivers themselves.So if the OP's tweeters have any felt attached to the domes then... 
Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of
Thanks. I'd forgotten there was a Broadway version. 
Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of
Myles, can you give more information? I'm a fan of Kurosawa films, including the soundtracks from many. But I'm unaware of anything done by Bernstein, et. al.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LtXTWGU9G0 
Herron M1-1A monobocks, what do you think?
Why is this posted under Analog? It is an interesting post and I have great respect for Herron products so my question goes to Audiogon, not the post content.
