| Apogee versus German Physics I've heard the Loreley at a fellow in Manhattan.Yes,they played loud,but had an oversized sound stage(possibly room related)and not so great high frequency extension.Great for Kodo drums.Not so great for other types of music. That being said,they ... | |
| How good can a mono cartridge be...? Just wait for the "word" on the new Air Tight mono cartridge.It WILL be considered fabulous,but not cheap!I can say no more,without a contract being put out on me. Best! | |
| Brinkman Balance Comparisons Rick,SO SORRY to hear about the problem.Hope you get going soon.You SO deserve it!!! BTW,it seems that you guy's in the Audio Club "like" to lose your stylus/cantilevers.-:)Sid lost two,in the last two years!What gives? Best! | |
| AVALON OWNERS... Rushton,great idea,but I am such a fanatic that I don't want to take a drill to my speaker bottom plates.I like the more massive contact area,yet your idea is better for most folks. | |
| AVALON OWNERS... Actually,my speakers came with really nice "gloss finish" brass cones,which look rather pricey.I do like them,but would not care for a generic steel type.I was just curious. However,and follow my logic,I believe if one can add more "surface area" ... | |
| general tonearm design question Doug,truthfully I don't hear anything in my friend's Phantom/Orpheus combo to make me want to change arms!Of course we have not done a side by side comparison,but I installed the Orpheus in his 2.2,and a dealer did it when the Phantom came( I know... | |
| Lyra Helikon SL Opinions? Believe me,the Titan-i is a fabulous cartridge!My friend,Sid Marks(of TAS/Mercury Living Presence fame)has one,and he would dump it in a second,if it did not bring out what he KNOWS is on all those CLASSIC LP'S!!Sorry,but something is amiss if it ... | |
| AVALON OWNERS... I have my Avalons on a carpet,with a concrete floor underneath(classic Ascent mk-2's).I am using the standard supplied "German Cones".Does anyone think these can be improved,to any real degree? Thanks. | |
| Turntables from 1-10: Personality 8.5 Beauty 12 I must say that I have always loved the look and price(comparatively)of the Oracle.Especially in the black granite base model.Not too expensive,and killer sound. | |
| general tonearm design question Doug,I honestly don't know of "any" unipivot that relies on stylus/groovewall and cantilever/suspension pressure to help maintain steady azimuth,or balancing.That,alone,would be poor design,and would surely put a "TON" of pressure on the stylus/su... | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik Raul did you ever consider doing a cartridge survey/review similar to the Joe's Tube Lore survey,on NOS tubes?Rating what you like best and giving us your "distinct" prefference.Last year you rated the Allaerts Finish as "the one" to beat,but now ... | |
| Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1? Slipknot,I cannot thank you enough for the post from Pos Feedback,re:the letter. Absolutely great stuff!! BTW,it seems clear that these Magic Diamond products are WAY under the radar,and seeminly intentional!Low volume sales usually means attentio... | |
| general tonearm design question Don't worry,Doug.No problemo.Feel free to mention the 2.2,it really would be silly for me,or anyone to get offended by a product comment.So long as the product sounds good,I don't care.The past is an embarrassment to me,so don't sweat whatever you... | |
| SF Extrema,Few q The amps I heard were the new Bernings!Wonderful. | |
| SF Extrema,Few q I was "blown away" by my listening to the Extremas,but the owner had added a superb super tweeter to them.We a/b'd these,and the Sonus "classic's" moved into another league with them.The original Extrema is a fine design,but is a bit rolled off in... |
