| English Speakers ATC SCM 20SL or SCM 10-2's are similar to Rogers LS 7.If yo do a google on Mark Hennessy Rogers ATC you'll find someone who likes 'em both and owns several models of Roger's fine speakers. | |
| Digital Cable Choice; how critical is it? I really am a music guy & not a computer/techie guy. So, considering that the digital information that runs from the DAC to the Preamp is 1's & 0's or bits & bytes or whatever they are called; how critical is it to the sonic perfroman... | |
| 12" 45 RPM records: What's the story? to minimize pre-echo Eldartford,I always wondered about that....I used to think it was the fault of the master tapes and how the magnetic field transfered slightly to the adjacent tape above and below, as stored on the reel...But your descripton ... | |
| Low volume bookshelf spkrs that go from 20 to 20k? A 20hz soundwave is 27.5 feet long. It simple can't be achieved in a small room though Good point...the long waves can be achieved but modal issues will be absolutely huge....a central position in a 14 foot room will be 7 feet from a wall and the... | |
| Can I ever stand to listen to our system again Thanks for sharing. I constantly remind myself that time together with spouse and children is fleeting and each moment must be treasured (even the inevitable disagreements, difficulties).

| 12" 45 RPM records: What's the story? Some (45's) are better; most are not....my entire collection of 5000+ is comprised of original pressings spanning 1957-present Well that doesn't match my experience but I never got close to 5000 LP'sI also used to buy import Japanese pressings of... | |
| 12" 45 RPM records: What's the story? the 'dance club' 45's are all over the board in quality.....mostly bad. I would agree that they are all over the board (so true of all recorded music whatever the media but especially pop....a real mixed bag). However, I would point out that in c... | |
| Mainstream reviews-why so few? client lists are probably the best advertising, IMHO, I never trust reviews....a mixed bag, IMHO. | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4sr MKII or Wilson Sophia Both designs use aluminium cones - is that something you desire? Metal drivers have a distinct advantage in stiffness, however, be aware that all drivers ring (like a bell) and that metal drivers ring at 10dB peaks versus the 3dB peaks of non-meta... | |
| 12" 45 RPM records: What's the story? The main advantage is better signal to noise ratio and secondarily, better frequency response (because the groove wiggles are stretched over a longer length of groove.) I'll also add "better dynamic range"...those 12" 45 RPM records were simply a... | |
| Mainstream reviews-why so few? Some sell by word of mouth and less through reviews.Do Green Mountain buy lots of advertising space in the audio magazines? If not then they are less likely to be reviewed.Ford trucks get big advertising in North America, but demanding customers t... | |
| Whats more important? Speaker or the Amp As you can see, there is no answer! hahaha Nobody yet refuted my wisdom. By concentrating on high $$$$ quality cables, one can make any amp and speaker combination sound fantastic. If the amp is weak then simply raise the amp up slightly so that ... | |
