| NY HE Speaker Standouts Flrnlamb, in the 1960s Phillips had a self-powered speaker. It did not sell. I suspect that were there really a market there would be manufacturers anxious to fill it. What we really need a new drivers. Everything we have is dated technology and f... | |
| Solid stylus cleaners: Extreme Phono vs. Onzow Zer I should have added that about every fifth play, I use AudioTop stylus cleaner taking care that I only get the stylus. | |
| Solid stylus cleaners: Extreme Phono vs. Onzow Zer Every play with a 30x loupe? I use the optic on the Zerodust occasionally. Other than this I entirely agree with your ranking. Even at full retail, I would still go with the Zerodust. It is effective and safe. | |
| Solid stylus cleaners: Extreme Phono vs. Onzow Zer Splaskin, I too tried mine way in the back of a drawer. I may try it buy the Onzo is so safe and easy to use, that I will probably continue with it. | |
| NY HE Speaker Standouts Flmlamb, I would agree about dynamics and about needing passion and drive in your music, but the only speakers that have ever satisfied me in this regard are horns. But they are directional which you say are a deal breaker for you. Is it not too b... | |
| Does anyone know these tubes I agree with Avguygeorge. I have laid in many of these although I presently use none. They look to be identically constructed. | |
| Speaker Wire for a non-anal listener If you are looking for the best for the money anything, will it ever be anything but the cheapest? I have never understood this concept. Now when you want to dismiss others who have better sounding systems which cost more money, you can always sta... | |
| NY HE Speaker Standouts Dgad, I entirely agree with you about the Reimyo CDP. I have had the early dCS and the same EMM gear you have. Presently I have the Exemplar 3910 which to my listening is better than both, but the Reimyo CDP is king! I have several times come to t... | |
| NY HE Speaker Standouts Several years ago I lusted after the TAD Model Ones. Since then I have heard them several times and lost all interest. Unlike the earlier TAD horn units, these lack the involvement and dynamics, especially as they always use the Krell big amps as ... | |
| NY HE Speaker Standouts Twilo, SAP has had such an magnetic isolation platform for some time. I have one and it worked well under my turntable. Long ago SONY had magnetic feet for this use. I had 9 but was never really pleased with the results. | |
| NY HE Speaker Standouts Dracule1, blame the weak US dollar. Things European are up over 50% since 2002 just because of the dollars decline. Think of their value at half price. | |
| Can you ever go back and be happy? Brian, yes Acoustat. Actually, if you hung a monster high voltage cap on them, they were very good. I also think you are right about flat profiles. The SoundLabs had less of this problem, but still had it. There certainly are problems with horns a... | |
| Empire Turntables New in Box-Worth Anything? Eldartford, I would have to agree with you about spring loading. I bet you never thought you would hear that. After abandoning a Garrard 301 in the '70s, I am back with one again. I have an adaptator of the old Ortofon 12" arm which use spring loa... | |
| NY HE Speaker Standouts I thought the Acapella small speakers were the hit of the Show? I wasn't there as it is too crowded and the rooms too small. | |
| Can you ever go back and be happy? I have often gone back. I have had Magnaplanors from ARC, KLH 9s (electrostats), Infinity Servo-Statics (electrostats), Martin Logans (electrostats), Sound Labs A-1 (electrostats), and an electrostatic speaker out of Florida whose name I cannot re... |
