| Roomsize for Avalon eidolon or opus ceramic Foghost, in a former home, my Eidolons sounded just fine in a room of about the same volume as yours. The challenge for me was pulling them far enough out from the front wall and the side walls for smoothest response and best sound staging. As lon... | |
| Any Walker SST users? Your SST is fine as long as you only used a couple of drops of canola oil. For whatever reason, lots of folks have reported that sticking multimeter probes in SST will not show any result. If you have any concerns about this, call Walker Audio at ... | |
| Next on the list for Mahler.... The Mahler Symphony No. 3 that Slipknot mentions would be my recommendation for your next experience with Mahler. After that, I'd recommend you listen to the Sym No. 8 and then the No. 6. Recommendations for these are:Sym No. 3: Horenstein/LSO, No... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Montepilot, I agree with Slipknot's recommendation of the Holst "Savitri" on Argo ZNF 6 (and later as ZK 78). This is always my demonstration LP for someone who wants to hear the singers actually moving across the stage both laterally and from bac... | |
| $1,000 to spend on room treatment.... FWIW, I've heard the results Sbank achieved in his room with his mix of custom and diy effort: simply outstanding. Brian @ sensiblesoundsolutions certainly allowed Sbank to accomplish a very positive transformation of his listening space at a very... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Foster, our groups share many similarities! Folks are having so much fun just visiting with each other and talking that it's been a little challenging for those who want to do some serious listening. So, we've worked pretty diligently each of the ... | |
| best speakers for marantz 8b amp The "MM de Capo i" by Reference 3a would be a nice choice. 92db efficiency, 8 ohm nominal load.. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Lots of music playing today during our local audio group's gathering - a true vinyl fest! Here are some of the LPs playing while I was in the listening room (versus chatting in the room next door):Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade, Reiner/CSO, RCA (Cl... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Hi Zaikesman, thanks for that great discussion of Jimmy Webb. I'm one of those who know his songs as presented by others, but don't know anything about him. I'll have to explore this more!. | |
| Atma-Sphere amps with Eggleston Andra II's As an MA-2 owner, I've been quietly reading this thread because I've never heard the MA-2s with the Andra IIs and they may well not be a good match with this particular speaker. However, unlike typical OTL amps, the MA-2s are designed with a low i... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Foster, great report on both the Sylvania tubes and the Klimo LP!! Glad to hear both have worked well for you. Regarding the Klimo LP, you've nicely described what I find so attractive about this record. There are so many gems like this, but sorti... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Thanks to each of you who've expressed your concern. It's certainly helped my angst!As Montepilot says, the good news is that its only money: no one was hurt, the cartridge can be replaced. (And thanks for sharing your story, Montepilot.) The bett... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? How many of you have had an LP in your collection that you thought was just mediocre until you played it on some different equipment? This just happened to me yesterday as I listened to the Khatchaturian "Gayenah Ballet" listed in my post above. I... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? A favorite teacher of mine in high school was fond of gently pointing out my errors in papers I submitted. He had various sized stamps with the word "BONEHEAD!>>" on them that he would use to subtly mark my papers. The more egregious the err... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Great news about this LP, Foster! What a surprise, I'll be interested in your reactions to it. As Slipknot cautions, it is fairly quiet and subtle.Congratulations on the Sylvania NOS 6SN7 GTBs for your Atma-Sphere. I run these in my MA-2s and love... |
