| New KT150 tubes? David12, better that than a puff of white or black smoke from your amp. ;^) | |
| KLH 9 - new owner I believe Janszen can help with refurbish/restoration issues. It should at least be good to check with them.You know of course that Janszen designed the Model 9 for KLH. | |
| spring loaded platform non-suspended turntable "remember too that sound travels as well through springy floors (and walls)"Absolutely, but my point is once the sound wave strikes/energizes a solid surface/object, the transmission then becomes mechanical, no longer acoustical. I consider acoust... | |
| What great speakers can buy direct? Larrybou,"which are most musical/non fatiguing?" Impossible to answer since I doubt any one of us has heard them all.But I will say this about the Janszen; because of the electrostatic mid/tweeter, it offers wonderful detail and clarity with no ap... | |
| spring loaded platform non-suspended turntable Stringreen, I respect your musical knowledge and experience, but I believe you are wrong about "acoustic feedback". My simple understanding is that it is the airborne (i.e. acoustic) waves from output back to input. The most common example most of... | |
| spring loaded platform non-suspended turntable Crubio, I'm not an engineer but I'll suggest you need to consider three conditions. One is acoustic vibration from your listening room environment. For example, where is your turntable placed relative to room node build-ups? Hint: avoid placement ... | |
| What great speakers can buy direct? Larry, check out Janszen. They just introduced a new stand-mount model that fits within your budget range. I've not heard it but have lots of experience with their zA2.1 which uses the same drivers, only more of them. David is great to work with a... | |
| What was your first 'hi-end' system? This will give away my age. While in college in 1966 I built ST-70, PAS-3, and FM-3 Dynakits, to go with AR-4 speakers and a Dual 1009 w/ Empire cartridge. That system might be MOR today but at that time it was not far below Macs and Marantz.Actua... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers This is for Ralph, since I'm quoting him. But any others are welcome to jump on it as well."I am not stating that 4 ohm speakers are bad speakers. I am stating that any amplifier driving them will sound harsher and less detailed as opposed to the ... | |
| Of all your gear, what piece impresses you most? A basic rule in audio - change only one component at a time.Fortunately I had experience with each system component prior to buying the Janszen zA2.1 speakers. So there is no doubt in my mind they have impressed me most.So soon I hope to experimen... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I agree Lew. With fond memories of a few earlier MM and MI carts I was tempted more than once by reading how many mastering engineers (from Doug Sax on down) still relied on MMs. I kept thinking, hey, if they are satisfactory for those guys maybe ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Many thanks Dave. Your confirmation is greatly appreciated.And yes, I do look forward to an audition. However too many other tasks are in line ahead of it - both non-audio and then audio repairs.So it waits quietly to someday spring forth music. ;... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The Empire quagmire:I bought what was alleged to be a NOS Empire 4000DIII/Gold some time ago. Due to the long lineup of cartridges I've been influenced to buy from this site I have not yet mounted it to listen. But this discussion caused me to ope... | |
| Denon DL-103 "one of the...." Conical styli?!?Those of us old enough to have read Stereophile when J Gordon Holt was still editor may remember he preferred conicals to ellipticals when both were offered on the same cartridge body. His reference cartridge was a conical Shure an... | |
| TT Power Cord Lew, here is a case in point on using speaker wire. One of my audio buddies was caught up needing an extra power cord. Rather than go out to buy one he made it using a length of Kimber TC-8 speaker. That ended up sounding better than any other cor... |
