| grilles on or off the speakers?? To AudiofeilNot sure why a thread usually ends up with someone being condescending and mean spirited. Of course I, and most anyone interested in audio, set our systems up to our liking and our listening taste and our satisfaction That doesn't mean... | |
| grilles on or off the speakers?? To StringreenI know Vandersteen feels strongly about that. I owned his 2Ci speakers (which were great), and taking those grilles on and off would be no easy task | |
| 4 ohm taps or 8 ohm taps? To StringreenSo, a number of folks have suggested that if the speaker impedance curve drops below 4 ohms at places, and I am using the 4 ohm taps, it risks overstrain on the amp and amplifier damage. Is that an unrealistic concern, even if I am li... | |
| speakers with a "smooth" impedance curve To BeavisMy current speakers have a nominal impedance rating at 6 ohms. I can't find an impedance curve on these speakers, but the manufacturer recommended the 8 ohm taps on my amp. I think the system sounds much better using the 4 ohm taps. The q... | |
| Speakers and vacuum tube gear to 4musicaNo, no. Not offended, just jealous. | |
| Speakers and vacuum tube gear To 4musica44107Do many of you have that option of "auditioning different combinations, preferably in your own listening area"? Man, I know I don't. There is probably only one High End dealer here in NH, with essentially all SS gear, and of course ... | |
| Speakers and vacuum tube gear To Bob Reynolds and MechansThanks for your knowledgable input, much appreciated.I am currently using a MingDa MC34 AB tube amp which has 8 EL34 output tubes and is rated at 75 wt/ch in ultralinear mode. I like this amp.If I were to match this with... | |
| Any High-end speakers "kid-friendly" not fragile? They might not be able to knock it over, but you surely will get punched in your woofer | |
| OK, record is now clean, how about the Stylus? Photon wrote above, with his cleaning regimen, that he has...after a year,... "no accumulation between the stylus and where it inserts into the cantilever. Damn it, I DO get accumulation there, usually of very fine fibers, like from clothing or so... | |
| How often do you folks vacuum clean your albums? How do you steam clean an album?? | |
| OK, record is now clean, how about the Stylus? To Mark, this has been my experience with the Zerodust. If I lower the cartridge into the Zerodust with 2.5 gm of VTF on my Denon 103R cartridge, the whole stylus and cantilever dip into the gummy stuff; when I lift it out gently, you can see the ... | |
| OK, record is now clean, how about the Stylus? To Rlwainwright,Please don't get upset with some of the responses you get on this or any other thread; I have learned that people here have VERY strong feelings about their rituals. Right or wrong, I think you have to at least respect the opinion ... | |
| OK, record is now clean, how about the Stylus? So, here is what I actually do, I am ready for the onslaught of comments why it is a bad idea:While the lock is still on the arm, with a magnifying glass, I actually push my Onzo UP onto the stylus while watching carefully, and now do the same wit... | |
| How often do you folks vacuum clean your albums? There has been a lot of emphasis above about keeping the STYLUS clean as even more important than cleaning the record. I use an Onzow Zero pad before each side of an album, then some Stylast stylus treatment. Two questions: what do you think of th... | |
| How often do you folks vacuum clean your albums? To Kitch 29,It is a whole lot like every woman I ever had in my life telling me I have to wash off the dish before putting it in the dishwasher. |
