| Quit vinyl? I wouldn't dare to disagree with you guys, but sound quality ain't everyting. I will never like boybands, how lifelike they may sound, but the first time I heard Jimi Hendrix playing Angel I was blown away. An that was on some gear I don't even da... | |
| Quit vinyl? Ok, start laughing and pointing at me, I deserve it.After I decided to keep the analogue gear, I decided to listen to it. So I put on a record, and started listening. And although it didn't sound bad, I just couldn't care. Especially the image was... | |
| Quit vinyl? Thanx for the responses, guys. I decided to keep the gear, and ditch some (well..... I guess about about 300) records. I will move the remaining records to another closet, out of sight but within reach.When I looked at the records some of them bro... | |
| Must pull trigger-- quick arm help please Is there no chance you can listen to the arm/tt combination? If you really, really, have to choose in a hurry, I would go for the 300, which is structural better IMHO, despite the tweaks on the 250. But if you have a chance, listen for yourself!!!! | |
| Does anyone swap? Seriously..... I just swapped my speakers last weekend. I changed from a couple of B&W's CDM 1's to a pair of DIY-speakers, and the guy who built them, knew his trade. They are potentially much better than the B&W's, but in my room, with m... | |
| How Much Abuse can a Cartridge take? If it souds as good as as it did before you let it run, no problem. And if that's you're only mistake, you're some kind of saint. If I would make a list of wrecked gear....... I get depressed now!! :) | |
| To much high Hah! Friends only cost money, dropping by at random, emptying the fridge, so losing one is only a good thing :). Seriously, I chose the cable since it went well with my old speakers, and I do have some old pieces lying around, so that's one experi... | |
| To much high Guys, thanx for the advice, I will experiment with placement and some absorbing materials. And Didactically, being an ex-radio engineer, I know how original sounds, and I know these speakers are a bit bright. But because I fell in love with their ... | |
| Sony XA7ES is this still a top notch player? Despite your name, I'm don't think you're a fool :). As I wrote, I would probably buy an older player as well, and no, I wouldn't buy a pile of replacement parts either.Actually I use a cheap sony, which is some 10 years old, in my secondary syste... | |
| Sony XA7ES is this still a top notch player? Rock fool, everything with mechanical parts will, sooner or later, need some repairs. Amps hardly use mechanical parts, so will age better, but one of the first things to go are the mechanical volume pot's. As for speakers, chances are the unit's ... | |
| Blown Tweeters = Some Sound/No Sound? Just checked some reviews, and it seems that 150 quid is very reasonable to get your speakers back into shape. Good luck, and let us know if everything turned out ok! | |
| Blown Tweeters = Some Sound/No Sound? Ehmmmm..... Onhwy61 made an accurate remark. In your original post you stated "On BOTH speakers, there was absolutely NO sound. Does this mean that the tweeters are blown or is there possibly more to the problem?"I presume you mean no sound from t... | |
| Blown Tweeters = Some Sound/No Sound? Good question. You have determined that the tweeters aren't working, that's for sure. It could be (hard to say without knowing what speakers you are talking about) that some kind of overload-protection kicked in (e.g. blown a fuse), and the tweete... | |
| Driver efficiency vs. overall speaker efficiency Pragmatist, if more current is drawn to achieve a higher sound level, the efficiency hasn't increased. Or am I making a mistake here? A higher efficiency means more output with teh same cuurent. | |
| High Gloss Wood Finish - High-End or Low Class? Honest1, if 'sophisticated people with good taste' really exist (I don't know them. Except for you, Slappy. Congrats with the new car) they won't critisize others people taste, and if they do, who cares? If you like the look..... well, you gotta l... |
