| Buiding listening room from scratch - need advice +1 with Mapman, start by selecting speakers. Find something that "speaks" to you. I can recommend auditioning Janszens, either the zA2.1 or new stand mounted zA1.1 if you can find any near you, but there is a huge array of choices.Speakers can det... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Downunder, I've never read a claim that electrolytic cap replacement would improve sonics. But I have read advice from respected posters who know much more about electronics than I do that they can dry up or fail in other ways with age. The danger... | |
| proper Tannoy Canterbury room set up Raising Canterburys -A friend with Canterburys was advised by Jim Smith to experiment elevating them and found that did improve upper frequency info. Pay attention to Mulveling! | |
| Anyone into cassettes? After two higher end H-Ks and one each lower end Tanburg and Nakamichi, I had an AIWA (770?, I don't remember) which offered better performance. Then I bought a Pioneer 3-head deck, about the same as their Elite cassette but without the wood end p... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Lew, I've also experienced an issue with something returned but not checked out in a timely fashion.

| Airplane trip with turntable... I bought a SP-10 Mk 2 while traveling and elected to bring it home on the plane rather than ship it. I already had one carry-on so packed it very carefully for checked baggage. I assumed it would be X-rayed and passed along.However when I arrived ... | |
| $10K or less speakers for 20x20 rm with open back Seanile, I'd suggest a trial audition of the Janszen zA2.1 if you can arrange one. With a little care in set up they can perform much better than show reports.They are very musical and detailed, can fill a large space, are an easy load which does ... | |

| Dunlavy ????? If you read numerous Dunlavy threads you've likely seen some of my comments. They come from 19 years owning Duntech Princess speakers, following Duntech and then DAL over those years, and personal conversations with the man himself.Where Duntech a... | |
| Turntable on suspended floor - shelf or braces? djm,I should have explained that I used an automotive hydraulic jack to raise each of the three floor joists just enough to slip the carefully measured 4x4 posts into place. Then after lowering the jack I didn't even need to nail the 4x4 posts to ... | |
| Turntable on suspended floor - shelf or braces? Hi djm,My living room has a suspended wood floor with 20' spans for L and W. A closet, enclosed stairwell and fireplace column on one wall prevent the dreaded "square room" for sonics. But the long span meant bouncy motion even when walking light-... |
