RevelF32 in good shape, or RevelF50 in bad shape?
Yba-us, the decision is ultimately yours to make. Non of us have a dog in the fight. But as Loomisjohnson suggests, I add that concur with his opinion. Buy the newer technology and speakers that you know are in good working condition. Sometimes th... 
RevelF32 in good shape, or RevelF50 in bad shape?
As an owner of F32's I can tell you that I looked at Revel for a few years before I bought and the F30 as well as the F50 were on my wish list. Then I was told the F32 and F52 were about to be released, so I waited. My thought is by the F32 since ...

TomThanks, I didn't realize the "donut" excisted. And i gatehr from what you are stating that you have found it to have no effect on sonics? I wonder how it would perfom on a suspended table like my LP12. I guess I should research this as an option.

Anyone Using An FM Transmitter?
I was looking at the "wholehousefmtransmitter" and think I will try it,as it has a 120 day in home trial period. If it isn't satisfactory I get a Ramsey. Thanks for your help.

Peterayer as it appears, I tried to edit my secon post to which you refer, and it vanished! But what I wanted to add is that I had omitted from my thoughts that you are working witha 12" arm whereas mine is a 9" arm. Those changes would be more dr...

The question that comes to mind in that photo is are the DyneAudios facing each other just while the Utopias play or do they actually play them firing at each other? But having the rough texure should help. I have an issue where my TV is between t...

If your read Fremers article a few months back in Stereophile he emphasizes that the Rake Angle is more crucial to the playback of lps. I recently had mine adjusted and I will attest that Fremer is correct. I attended the Music Matters gathering a... 
Lyra vs. Lyra
I owned a Delos for 30 days before upgrading to the Kleos. On my table, LP12, I noticed the following differences. Improved detail and extraction of information. Smoother more natural mids and high with a further focus on detail while maintaining ... 
Don't read you'll be sorry
I read it! Then immediately forgot it. Except the part about WTF! I found that part to be very intriguing. I now rejoin my life already in progress....
