Impdence Question
When I was fooling around with adding stereo speakers to my 57 Packard in the "good ol' days" I seem to remember that some speakers had transformers attached to them. ( Sweet ride..staight 8, used more oil than gas) 
Anyone heard the Von Schweikert Unifield 3?
ES247..I never heard the speaker or anything about Green Mountain speakers. I am a violinist, not a manufacturer. 
Von Schweikert speakers..
See what a learning experience these posts are...now everyone can speak a bit of Yiddish... 
Von Schweikert speakers..
My opinion. After owning B&W 802's, I found them lacking in bass, definition, air, depth, and are way overpriced. I bought them on a rebound when my wife died...should never have done it.Wilson - not for meVon Schweikert....look up goniff//jus... 
Does anyone repair Lyra cartridges?
My 2 cents is that your should have Lyra repair it. I am not demeaning Soundsmith, but I suspect the unit will be different...maybe better, maybe not, however, you can be sure it wont be a Lyra. I always bring my cars into the dealer to be sure I ... 
Opinions on budget TT
I vote for the Rega as well. I have one and it serves very well. After you get your car repaired, do some of the mods and bring it to a higher level without spending a lot. 
Power Cable DIY - need advice
I have compared Tunami and Accrolink. Tunami is very quiet, but does not have the air, depth, delicacy, boldness, etc. as Accrolink. Accrolink is a higher category of performance. I use the 046 plugs on either end. The plugs make even more of a di... 
A Perennial Debate For Which I Seek Help
Douglas_Schroeder....I am a trained violinist and have played and recorded with the best orchestras of the world. I hear real music in real time almost every day. I can tell you when I sit on stage the sound is very much different than when I sit ... 
A Perennial Debate For Which I Seek Help
Douglas-Schroeder Your point on Anti-Cable does not hold true in my system. I have chosen anti-Cables after an intensive search for the best cable for my system...money was not a consideration. I experimented with Cardas, Wireworld, Purist, Audioq... 
Anti-skate
I don't use anti-skate at all. Those who do use it set it at the same or near the VTF you are using. I find it does nothing to better my setup. The purpose of anti-skate is to balance the inward force of the tonearm which comes from the cartridge'... 
best biwire speaker cables for under $300??
Isn't it amazing how system sensitive cables are...on my bi-wire Vandersteen 5A's the Anti-Cables are not rolled off at all. I also found that twisting them decreases sound stage width and air...but try... 
Wow I just got the KAB strobe
Hey Johnny53... Next time get off of the orchestra level. The sound bounces off of the floor and is adversly affected. In addition, you will see only the front of the orchestra and not "into" the orchestra. You will not see what the reeds, brass, ... 
best biwire speaker cables for under $300??
I am using Anti-Cables on my Vandersteen 5A's with great success. You really should try them...money back guarantee. Check it out 
What would I get out of damping fluid?
Actually, I found the difference - with or without damping fluid - quite profound. I have a VPI 10.5i with a Benz Ebony LP, and that combination "likes" a bit of damping. The results are more air, depth..all the good stuff. If I use too much, all ... 
Wow I just got the KAB strobe
Unless you have perfect pitch, this is a non issue. As long as the speed is close, the result is fine. The KAB strobe is as good as any other.
