| longevity of good speakers One of my pairs of speakers is 30yrs old and sounds wonderful. The other is 13-14yrs old and sounds wonderful too. | |
| Black-Eyed-Peas, the future of modern music? Dreadhead, there is a "making of" oprah flash mob or three out there (there is probably even one on oprah's site). I happen to think dancing flash mobs are one of the coolest things going. There was a T-Mobile commercial in Liverpool station, a co... | |
| Black-Eyed-Peas, the future of modern music? Shadorne, Thanks for reposting that. The original link you posted to was taken down. I have a few more HERE. Actually, "here" is a continuation of yours, but it does not let down. When they get a good concert going, they are a great deal of fun. I... | |
| Reel to Reel decks Orpheus10, It is actually not theoretically impossible for a bumblebee to fly. It was simply bad physics (and myth) which said it couldn't. There have been numerous scientific papers which have 'proven' that bumblebees can fly.That said, I admit t... | |
| Reel to Reel decks Orpheus10, I don't want to pick nits, but I will anyway...There is no better quality of stereo reproduction than reel to reel tape.A lot of people will agree with this.My tapes are better than the original source.I hope there are not a lot who wil... | |
| Listening off grid with batteries Rugyboogie,Thanks for the details. I wouldn't figured that much usable power was available from that little flow but I need to learn more. If you can get that much, it certainly makes life easier. One of my interests is learning more about energy ... | |
| Listening off grid with batteries The Jadis are not quite as efficient as they could be. The isobaric woofers are 96dB. The mid/trebles are padded down (or they would be 100dB+). My 8W amps are sublime in the treble/mids, but can't hack it in the bass. To get the most out of the b... | |
| Listening off grid with batteries That's very cool. Congrats. And thanks!I think micro hydro is cool, but it requires a certain setting. I would love to figure out a way to do that for my second system house. I have the water not too far away, but it's theoretically not "mine." If... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Dgob,I just noticed this thread. Indeed the Glanz (pronounced "glants") cartridges were a brand of Mitachi Onkyo Seisakusho, which also made tonearms. They were an OEM brand for a number of companies in Japan. I have seen a picture of a line of la... | |
| To buy or not to buy a used cartridge? I am 100% in accord with Mosin. If you purchase lots/dozens of vintage carts, you can expect some to disappoint, either with cantilever or suspension. On the other hand, you can find some great carts for not huge money, and those which are 'damage... | |
| Opinions please on a starter audiophile system? Getting off the merry-go-round implies being able to make some nice final choices. That requires listening to a bunch of different speaker/amp combinations to find out what gets you 'that feeling.' This means discovering the relationship between P... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, In my statement about prices, I mean nothing other than what Technics meant by pricing them the way they did. It is a fact that their prices were different. Price does not always correlate to quality. I have a lot of cheap carts which are be... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, I don't know how different the 205CMk4 is from the 205CMk3, but between the 205CMk3 and the 100C there are several differences (despite use of similar materials in places): cantilever structure is different, and coil structure is completely ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,On Technics 205C models...As far as I can tell, the first 205C was introduced just after the SP10 was introduced in the early 1970s. It had a titanium cantilever. The 205C-II was released a few years later. The 205C-IIS, -IIL, and -IIH were r... | |
| Any idea where to find Micro Seiki tonearm parts? Hiho,No clue other than to wait for one to come around. I know they made them for after-sale because I saw a table in Japan years ago which came with something like 5 extra headshells still in their boxes. I think the KP-07M made by Micro is the o... |
