| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD @ jmolsberg- Gotcha! I too had a short, "chuckle"(more of a derisive snort). Attention to detail is everything(and everything in the chain- critical), with analog. | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD @ jmolsberg - And most: presenting possible reasons, for the(unlikely) scenario. Is there a problem? | |
| Help with some Vintage gear??? An excellent(inexpensive) method, for listing sales items. | |
| Turntable cuing light Great idea, for so many reasons! Now I’ll have to dust my table though(been in denial). Just ordered this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073HFXSMQ | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD "Had everything dialed in.......... All good." You forgot to say, "Trust me". No mention of stylus condition(if purchased used). Too many variables! ie: The C-200L preamp was released over 30 years ago(1984). There’s an excellent chance, that the ... | |
| Whats the FATTEST sounding Tube amp to warm up Lean speakers? @dumbeat- Regarding under-biasing: That will somewhat reduce your dynamics and may soften what you’re calling, "bite". Trying that won’t hurt anything, and actually increases tube life, though- at the cost of fidelity. https://wallofsound.ca/audio... | |
| Maggie owners HELP PLEASE! Part 3) Have you been thinking about any particular active crossover? Hopefully- what you find, will do time alignment between bottom and main. | |
| Maggie owners HELP PLEASE! Part 2) Unless you enjoy lower SPLs and have a relatively small room, I doubt your Pass Aleph will satisfy. Until this year I’d been biamping with planars(Acoustat IIIs and various Maggies). Never could satisfy my hunger for clean SPLs, with less ... | |
| Maggie owners HELP PLEASE! Part 1) However one actively crosses their biamped system, unless the amplifiers used, have the same sensitivity/gain and power, they will only be correctly matched, at one point in the volume setting. At least, that's been my experience. I've... | |
| Whats the FATTEST sounding Tube amp to warm up Lean speakers? @ salectric- I’ve been using a Cary SLM-100 pair, for close to 15 years now. The last thing they are is colored(warm/fat sounding). Cary offered Jensen’s copper foil/PIO caps, as an("upgrade") option in their amps, but- Carys are not known(typical... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Sticks and stones may break my bonesBut chains and whips excite me (rihanna) | |
| Your Forever Pieces? What and Why? My oldest factory piece, still in use(since 1980): a Magnepan Unitrac I, tonearm. The only change made to that, was creating an adapter, to allow upgrading it’s interconnect cable. Now mated with a Soundsmith cartridge, a golden(maybe platinum) co... | |
| Whats the FATTEST sounding Tube amp to warm up Lean speakers? Whatever tubed amp you choose, load it with NOS British valves(Mullard/Brimar/Ediswan/Genelex/etc). If those don't warm/sweeten/fatten things up enough, swap it's resistors out for carbon compositions, and/or- it's coupling capacitors, for oil in... | |
| Songs for Speaker Placement @Jim- Here's hoping it helps! | |
| Songs for Speaker Placement One caveat to using recorded music, as a metric for speaker placement: unless you receive a soundstage/voice placement map(with the recording), were at the performance, or actually recorded the event, you have no way of knowing if your system is r... |
