| Re-tip Ortofon Cadenza Bronze Thanks for your responses! The diamond is still in good shape, so this isn’t a problem now. I’m just thinking ahead. I keep an eye on it with a 60X jeweler’s loupe. | |
| Re-tip Ortofon Cadenza Bronze Sound Smith only re-tips boron cantilevers, so it would have to be a rebuild no matter what. Still, at $650, it would’ve been $300 cheaper than Ortofon. I could get the boron cantilever from Sound Smith for $450. That’s $500 I’d save over Ortofon... | |
| Re-tip Ortofon Cadenza Bronze Good idea, noromance. I’ve sent them an email. | |
| McIntosh c2700 users please chime in? I was just on the phone with my local Mc dealer. He offered me a nice price on the C2700. Nevertheless, it is true that McIntosh generally doesn’t discount. Whatever deal you get is coming out of the dealer’s pocket, so to speak. McIntosh is such ... | |
| Preferred pressing of The Doors: LA Woman LP I was just on Discogs, looking at first pressings, and came across this note: "This issue is a 'Terre Haute' pressing. See Santa Maria pressing issue". Makes it sound like there's an "issue" with the Santa Maria pressing, but I think it's just an ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I'm sure you'll have no problem selling them. Where I'm at is, I decided that I don't like the way the speakers look with the grills on. They sound better without the grills as well. I've been looking around, trying to find some nicer-looking wing... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Accurus,Have you popped the top had a look in the cabs? I was reading up on stuffing and cabinet sound, and came a cross this article:The Cabinet Face & StuffingThey say that cotton, followed by fiberglass, are the best materials, and that nei... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Mapman,Let me just add: When I first talked to JS, I brought up low listening levels, and he said the bigger speakers are easier to drive, i.e., more efficient. Does that make sense? I’ve always thought you wanted small speakers for lower level SP... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Polarin,Agree with you about looks! OTOH, when you first get the speakers, the casters are convenient. Long-term though, they have to go. I like your solution. Spikes on heavy equipment can make it difficult to move around. I always imagine one of... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Bondman,Yes, the Heil tweeter begins at 850 Hz, and goes up to, well, I don't know exactly, but out of my hearing range. I imagine they rated them to 20k. Amazing upper-mids, crystal treble. But, perhaps because of that mid-range crossover point, ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Hey guys! Hope you don’t mind my jumping into this thread, (Infinite Jest got nothing on this thread). I began reading it a couple of weeks after my Ohm Walsh’s, (I believe they called them F-4049’s) arrived. They are refurb pyramid cabinets with... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? That's ridiculous, Mechans. You have to be in the sweet spot of the speakers, not the middle of the room. Try it - upon exiting the bathroom, you'll immediately experience a blacker background, and extended, sweeter highs.What I do is dry-brush be... |
