| I can not live without "Room Correction" If you are analogue and all tube I can't see adding a digital device into the chain. It must be organic too. Room treatments are the only way to go. If you are digital (source and processing), of course digital room correction will be fine.Rollin | |
| In search for speakers of "natural" sound ATC is a studio monitor builder first. Their consumer versions are dressed up studio monitors. They want a "natural" sound in the studio, so it stands to reason that the consumer versions will all sound "natural"I second @inna’s post, digital does... | |
| Small dedicated listening rooms I have a similar situation. My room is 10' X 10.5' w/ 8' ceilings. My speakers are ATC SM19s on stands. Independently, through trial and error, the room is set up like Duke describes, except I opted for the speakers further away from the wall. I s... | |
| Might try a tube preamp You cannot go wrong with a Prima Luna Dialogue Premium or any Conrad-Johnson that you prefer. Tubes are great!Rollin | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Number one huckster! | |
| What were your humble beginnings on the path to high end audio? In the late 50’s my dad and I built a mono system, I think is was Heathkit. Then we graduated to stereo with a Knightkit 20wpc amp and a Knightkit AM/FM tuner with a Garrard changer. He built the speaker cabints and used a tri-axial driver. It sou... | |
| Mytek slams Hypex in Stereophile Amp Review Rogue is a poor example of an amplifier. I have little ATCs that Rogue couldn't drive comfortably. | |
| if I buy an ultrasonic cleaner for my records will I be able to hear the difference? I use the Vinyl Stack, the E bay US cleaner and the formulas and techniques described by Rushton Paul on this forum. I rinse twice and dry with a VPI Cyclone. I thought that my records were clean until I started using the US. On older used records... | |
| PRIMALUNA OR ROGUE AUDIO Sorry, I meant Dialogue Premium HP. +1 on the EL34s, they do a terrific job. Though I have yet to use my set of KT150s. And, it's so easy to switch back and forth between tubes. Change a tube and it auto biases.Triode and Ultralinear switching wit... | |
| PRIMALUNA OR ROGUE AUDIO I understand Rogue's are hard on tubes. They would have to be to get the kind of power that they claim. My personal experience is with their Stereo 100 amp. I was considering M180s as an upgrade until I was told by their customer service that it u... | |
| WD 40 to remove scratches on vinyl ! Try Formula 420. It comes in a mix for plastics. Its sold for cleaning smoking paraphenalia, but I'm sure it does a great job on records. They also have one for metal and glass if you're into that kind of stuff. | |
| Outer ring - who uses and what are your findings I use the VPI Periphery Ring on every play. It does what it's supposed to do. It stabilizes the image, lowered the bass floor as well as helping to deal with warps. I've used the screw on clamp with the grommet under the record. It can cause the r... | |
| Best audio companies and dealers - 1 on Rogue Audio. My experience is the exact opposite of lradder. They were not very helpful and their Stereo 100 is an overpriced boat anchor. Their dealer Wolfsong audio is a poor excuse for an audio dealer, or I should say wheeler-dealer.Con... |
