| Audio Furniture has its own sound! "seismic vibration"? I'm not talking about vibration that causes books to fall off the shelf and the TT to slide across the rack. | |
| Audio Furniture has its own sound! @tomic601 Salamander racks don't have hollow tube frames. | |
| Audio Furniture has its own sound! @br3098 Thanks, but no the TT is not between speakers. I've read the books, and have placed it off to the side. I think the energy comes into it because I use two REL subs to shore up the bass. And, that seems to affect the wood sides of the ca... | |
| Audio Furniture has its own sound! @tooblue Actually, I didn't post a "problem" and I wasn't asking for solutions. I was sharing an experience, and my plan to deal with it. People chimed in with hundreds/thousands of dollars in "fixing it". Fact is, we are all crazy in this hobb... | |
| Audio Furniture has its own sound! I posted my experience so that others who wonder about this topic would have something to consider. If I listen to you crazies, this is what I should do:- $650 for aluminum balls under a platform- $400 for a 4 inch maple platform- Or $750 for the... | |
| Audio Furniture has its own sound! I also thought of Salamander as being a great product. It may be because it’s double wide, not sure. I’ve ordered a maple platform and vibrant pods and cones. If those don’t fix it, I’ll go back to the homemade stand. I guess it turns out that m... | |
| Audio Furniture has its own sound! I have vibrapods and the matching cones on order. Hope they show up soon! | |
| Albums that you listen to straight through / start to finish whenever you put them on! Another vote for all of them. | |
| Friend needs advice for $8,000 system Why focus only on new? There are many hobbyists who trade gear weekly or monthly. Buy something gently used, and you can stretch the $8k budget to $10 or $12k worth of gear. | |
| Frustrated with Vinly The issue is probably the phono stage. I found this out personally, since when I changed from several phono preamps that I owned to the Manley Chinook, all my records became far quieter. Even friends notice that you rarely hear pops, clicks or s... | |
| Jerry Raskin's Needle Doctor Gone? I spoke with the former manager recently, and he confirmed that yes, they were on a good run, but Jerry decided to shutter the place to focus on his art photography. He is not selling, at least for now. | |
| Focal Aria 948, Revel F208, Tekton Double Impact Two years ago, I auditioned the Double Impacts in my house, with a group of several other AGon members. Our overall impression is that they do sound lively, have a pretty nice tone, bass is great. But, they don’t have a ’refined’ sound. The freque... | |
| Revel - F208 vs M126Be thanks, all for the helpful input. I agree that I probably wouldn’t be happy with the bookshelf speakers. Go big, or stay home. Haha | |
| Revel - F208 vs M126Be thanks, Christopher! That's exactly what I was looking for. I suspect you are right about the dynamics, and the small mid woofer. I was thinking about a set of B&W 805's that I once owned. For a smaller speaker, they are really dynamic. B... | |
| Really...My favorite power tube is reissue that's not widely popular @jbhiller Thanks for sharing info about the 7581a. I ordered a set and just rolled them into my PL HP. So far, they sound really nice, and I think I like the tone better than the KT150s. But, question for you... where do you put the tube switch... |
