Reaction to : Bedini-Ultra Clarifier II
To my ears, the use of a Bedini Ultra Clarifier has resulted in a blacker background ( lower noise floor ), more "liquid" midrange and a more natural presentation.My Brother borrowed mine and took it to his house. His opinion was that it lowered t...

Wow. Should i go there or shouldn't i ???There was a thread quite a while back on AA about something similar regarding low frequency reproduction and what heterosexuals and homosexuals preferred. Let's just say that some of the conclusions drawn w... 
250 watts: why so much power?
Matchstikman: I just checked things out playing the same recording set to the same volume level. The mains are spread appr 12.5' apart ( center to center ) and toe'd in a bit. While this is not ideal for two channel reproduction with these specifi... 
HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas
Sorry for the confusion and i do apologize to Sos for my "second round" of attacks. Fs: yes, my comments were directed to you and in response to your last post. I'm sorry if you find them inappropriate, but that is how i feel. I am not good at hid...

Sos: First of all, the "grey market" products are a point for EC and their distributors to handle. Obviously, the "bad" distributors / dealers that are undermining the other distributors / dealers within the EC ( or any other company's ) network n... 
250 watts: why so much power?
Personally, i would consider an amp rated at 250 wpc @ 8 ohms to be "good sized" and not "big". Like all things in life, points of view will vary based on one's perspective : )As to why someone might need that much power, I had temporarily hooked ... 
tip on moving/positioning speakers
My girlfriend purchased something similar somewhere locally. The ones that she has are the size of small frisbees with a up-turned lip around the edges (so as not to get hung up or snagged when dragging something heavy ) and foam on the inside. Th...

The only thing that i know about The Sound Smith is that their prices were ridiculous for some parts that i was looking for. Have no idea about the quality of labor. Sean>

Jcbtubes: Much more eloquently stated than what i had to say, but i think that we are thinking along the same lines. Sean>

SOS's responses are, to be quite frank, bullshit. We are not talking about ANYBODY losing ANYTHING out of pocket or raising their cost of operating expenses. This is NOT warranty work. The cost of the upgrade is a set price. Ernie offered to pay f... 
Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 5 mkII Speaker
Erdoc: While i'm glad that you are happy with your recent purchases, i can pretty much guarantee that you've never heard what the F's were capable of if you were powering them with a late 70's vintage receiver. Most of the "hi end" amps made back ...

Just to clarify things, Stephen Sank is NOT an authorized Nakamichi repair / service facility. If you doubt this or want to find a REAL authorized Nak repair facility, contact Nakamichi directly and see who they recommend in your area. The fact th... 
Where should my equipment rack go?
I would advise against corner placement of a rack as that is where you are most likely to run into large quantities of low frequency reinforcement / air-borne vibrations. There was a thread about this the other day and i know that there is quite a... 
Do you own Dunlavy SC-IV's AND a yardstick ???
THANK YOU ALL for your responses. I GREATLY appreciate it !!! Sean> 
What's up with picofarads?
Many MC's are affected by the capacitance that they load into. The fact that your cartridge doesn't seem to be "bothered" by any of the settings tells me that it is probably less sensitive to capacive loading. You might want to experiment with the...
