Replacement for Maggie's?
Harri, I just looked at the pictures on your System. Unless you are a HUGE fan of "2001, A Space Odyssey", I suspect your wife would be more accepting of Maggies if they were not black. So I hope the 3.6s you have lined up are beige or off-white. ... 
Replacement for Maggie's?
Duke and Johnny, I'm sure Harri appreciates your input, at least I hope so.But you may not be familiar with Magnepan's new DWM. It is NOT a subwoofer. I'd call it a supplemental woofer since I believe the response range is 40 to 200 Hz. Their obje... 
Replacement for Maggie's?
Harri, two considerations:First, if keeping your 1.6s is an option with peace in your household, look into Josh's advice. Apparently Wendell has suggested trying one or two DWMs to see what works in individual rooms.Second, apparently a new MMG is... 
Dunlavy SC4 Speakers
2cj, as I said, lots of different advice but how much fits your system?I think Unsound has offered good comments, up until he suggested sitting 1' out from the back wall, at least relative to "smoother bass response".So let me suggest this. If you... 
Dunlavy SC4 Speakers
2cj, in spite of the well-meaning advice from myself and others here, you must have the patience for experimenting in your own set up.Any recommendations for specific dimensions must be considered only as recommendations for your list of trials. T... 
Dunlavy SC4 Speakers
2cj, I suggest you study your manual if you received one. In my Duntech Princess owner manual John Dunlavy stated that factory frequency response measurements were made at a distance of 3 meters. This distance allowed the sound from the five drive... 
Dunlavy SC4 Speakers
2cj, I can offer a little more support for your choice.I owned and enjoyed a pair of Duntech Princess (purchased new) for 19 years. Anyone who knows me and the number of speakers I've owned overall will understand why that is significant. The Prin... 
Dunlavy SC4 Speakers
2cj, I've heard various stories about John Dunlavy tuning crossovers with parts selection to match his chosen drivers. Also stories about frequency response records being kept by serial number for reference with future driver replacement. Unfortun... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
This discussion of conical styli reminded me that back in the days when J Gordon Holt was still publisher, editor, and chief writer for Stereophile, he drew a fair bit of criticism for rating his favorite Shure V-15 (whatever) conical version abov... 
Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm
Halcro, thanks for making and posting your video. I just viewed it and have a question I don't believe anyone else ask as yet.I'm not familiar with the Timeline, never having seen one in person. In your video there appears to be an initial flash o... 
Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question
Lew, thanks for your clarifications.I think I should have approached my question a little differently.Since I have a SP-10 Mk2A I'd be interested to hear from anyone who modified their Mk 2 chassis. Since the number of Mk 2 and 2A (same chassis I'... 
Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question
Hi Lew,Now I'm confused. What I'm asking about is the cast metal frame that surrounds the platter, and in the case for the Mk 2 and Mk 2A provides support for circuit board attachment from underneath. Since I've never seen a Mk 3 except in photos ... 
Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question
Technics SP-10 series plinths:From what I've been able to find, Technics offered as many as five separate plinths (bases) for the various SP-10 motor units.The one SP-10 I've seen (not quartz locked and no outboard PS) had a traditional wood box f... 
Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question
Albert, I wonder if your objective in your plinth design was to "sink" vibrational energy rather than synchronize ("sync") it. But maybe synchronizing vibration frequencies for turntables is related to British thin-walled speaker cabinets? ;^)But ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Re: Peter unresponsive to Emails.As I understand things, his business is almost a "one man show", meaning he personally does the inspection, repair, and replacement work. If true, no wonder he doesn't have time to send additional messages, his lin...
