| Car Audio Speakers I'm not saying you can't get better sound in a new car with after market gear. It's just that the gap in sound quality is smaller. Depends how fanatical you want to get and how much you want to spend.My last car had a very good setup and sounded g... | |
| Car Audio Speakers Morel and Dynaudio make excellent car audio speakers. Focal are said to be good but I have not heard them. For subs JL Audio are good and also Eclipse.You will also want a separate amp for your front speakers as the built in amp in the reciever is... | |
| What is the minimum distant for Zu? 52tiger, Looks like your speakers have built in adjustable subwoofers. Which makes it much easier to dial in the bass. Assuming you have your speakers on the short wall I would try pulling them out about 6 to 7 feet from the back wall. That should... | |
| What is the minimum distant for Zu? 52tiger, If you specify your room dimensions and constraints for moving your listening chair we could offer some more detailed advice.I don't own Zu's but the more you pull your speakers away from the back wall the longer the arrival time is for t... | |
| Price of Avalon Eidolon Diamonds Half of msrp is a good starting point. They can go above that if they are fairly new and/or are in high demand. Condition plays a roll of course. If old and/or in low demand they could go for less than half of msrp.Another trend I see is the more ... | |
| The Best Way to Clean Records If window cleaner works why not put some armorall on after that ;). That should make your records shine real good.Just kidding of course. | |
| The Best Way to Clean Records Just another good example of why you should clean your used records before you play them. Who knows what crazy thing someone applied to them before you got them.Hope he's not cleaning them before he sells them. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Actually I just tried that and it was not as effective as I thought. I just tried resting the hex wrench for cartridge screws lightly on the tonearm and that worked well for feeling some vibration. Of course you will want to mute the system so you... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro, Try holding a light piece of paper against your tonearm while its playing and see if you can feel any vibration. That should tell you all you need to know about how much vibration travels down a tonearm.Sean | |
| Goldfinger Statement, Lyra Atlas or Ortofon Anna? Sytnax,Now that I think about it in the case of the OP's tonearm higher vtf may make sense for a air bearing tonearm. Air bearing tonearms needing lower compliance in the horizontal plane. Is that the reason for the recomendation?Regards,Sean | |
| Goldfinger Statement, Lyra Atlas or Ortofon Anna? Syntax, By strong cantilever I'm guessing you mean highest hardness/ lowest mass? As for overall mass do you mean moving mass? Lower moving mass is generally considered an asset.Highest VTF. You lost me on that. Care to expand on that opinion? Reg... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Sebastien, Glad to hear you like what you are hearing. I was just as surprised as you when I got mine. Enjoy.Sean | |
| Has anybody tried the Reed 3P? Nandric, Yes after closer examination it's just one screw that holds the headshell on. It appears that the azimuth adjustment screw is in a channel that just slides off after removing the horizontal screw.Good to know that the azimuth adjustment a... | |
| anyone happy with Breuer tonearm? experiences? If you want a dynamic arm with easy setup then IME you should look at a Reed tonearm. I have no experience with a Breuer arm and don't know what its price point is. From what I have read it is picky about what carts work well on it. The Reed on th... | |
| Has anybody tried the Reed 3P? Nandric, I was not aware that the headshells were interchangeable. From looking at my 3Q there are two screws to undo the headshell. One that adjusts the azimuth and one that attaches the pivot point. I would think that the screw that goes through... |
