| subwoofer with zero punch... help The science was done at the University of Salford, School of Acoustics. The noted Cox teaches and researches there. Spoiler alert: it's not snake oil, like most of what you read.Mechanics of build is available in several places. Absolute Sound (II... | |
| Transient vs. Analysis Plus Long interconnects are the usual practice. The downside of that is radio frequency interference, or RF; so if you live in a rich RF environment, your cables may pick up interference from the strongest signals. The best ways to combat that are:1. F... | |
| Building my 'first' system - Advice on Phono preamp please I would do the latter, unless I had a good reason to do otherwise (like a great opportunity from your dealer). | |
| US source of Panzerholtz? I just finished installing a Pz tonearm wand. Sounds better with every listening session! | |
| Building my 'first' system - Advice on Phono preamp please One common mistake is to spend on cables and cartridge.1. Cables are the least bang-for-buck in audio. IMO. Buy super cheap (say $10 / pair) and then, in 6 months or more, make any upgrade prove itself before you buy.2. Cartridges wear out. Also, ... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Pz wand continues to impress. A record which was having tracking/distortion issues with the Tomahawk (Renaissance Lute music on BASF label) is now just plain good listening. Five hours yesterday. | |

Wait until you're well into 4 figures before you even think about it again. Spend on what makes the biggest difference, like better speakers and better amp... | |
| Magnepan LRS- what amp should i consider? (sub $2,000) I understand that Magnepan uses Bryston electronics for reference. Just sayin'. | |
| Magnepan LRS- what amp should i consider? (sub $2,000) I am a big fan of Bryston - have owned 4, used with Mags and subs. You should be able to get a 3B SST used for that price - a very good match - maybe even a factory refurbish. Call Bryston and see.Five year warrantee on factory refurbished. Yes, f... | |
| Magnapan LRS Thanks Willie! | |
| Anyone familiar with Canare 4s11 speaker wire sound and break in time Canare makes quality cables. I use their Starquad microphone cable for all interconnects. | |
| Pure analog system with high power I understand that Magnepan uses Bryston for reference electronics. But could be wrong. | |
| Pure analog system with high power About Bryston - their trade-in program only applies to Bryston gear. So if you're upgrading from a 4B to another Bryston piece they will take your 4B in trade.Different generations of Bryston sound rather different. The SST series is a bit mellow ... | |
