| I want to move from Rega Planar 6 help me to pick a new turntable @rauliruegas said: The Rega RP-10 could be your best choice. Is up to you. It's tonearm is an excellent one. No doubt a fine piece of engineering and a radical concept - but considerably more than what the OP was considering spending. I have... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other I put the link up in another thread recently, this device seems to sahre a very similar role as the MinusK. Yes it does. Would likely perform well under a turntable. Dohmann claim the MinusK devices in their turntables are specially modified fo... | |
| ATC SCM 50A active towers review SPLs are there without the shriek or compression. Nothing sounds overwhelming nor head severing. This being their consumer line, may be tuned differently. I've no experience with ATC Pro products. Apart from the cosmetic differences like omi... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other I think SME has lost the styling plot with the model 60 looks kind of generic and boring - though no doubt precisely engineered. Looks wise the Dohmann Helix blows the SME away. Compared to the Helix One - the SME tech seems lacking too. Rubber ... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other I received a Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 last week, and got it set up with 2 Schroder CB 11 tonearms, one with a Koetsu Urushi Black and the other with a Lyra Atlas cartridge. The sonic improvement over the Rega P8 is unbelievable! As well it sh... | |
| Best Isolation Device for Speakers? whereas the Devores are built with wood blocks to couple the enclosure to the floor? Yes its likely that Devore accounted for the effects of their chosen coupling method in the sound profile of the speaker - much like some designers account for... | |
| Best Isolation Device for Speakers? BTW @fsonicsmith you have a lovely, carefully assembled system there. I'd be curious what effect some speaker isolation would provide in your setting. Maybe you should try a lower cost option like the Herbies footers - or have you already? | |
| Best Isolation Device for Speakers? @fsonicsmith said: The point being that you can tweak away forever but it won't solve the inherent deficiencies of pistonic drivers. You will hear differences that might strike you subjectively as being "better" in the short term but over subst... | |
| Best Isolation Device for Speakers? @celtic66 I've read many reports of ATC owners getting positive results with the Gaia footers, so my experience is more of an outlier. The SCM100 towers required the expensive Gaia 1 model and maybe I was just expecting more given all the positive... | |
| Are Harbeth the only warm and euphonic speakers in town ? Alan Shaw would probably bristle at the OP describing his Harbeth speakers as euphonic - he’s aiming for naturalness and low coloration. Harbeth speakers certainly have smooth even response and tend to have some warmth in the lower mids/bass - Th... | |
| Best Isolation Device for Speakers? After years of using spikes etc I've become a fan of decoupling speakers. Under my ATC SCM100 towers I've tried Herbies Giant Gliders, Isoacoustics Gaia and the Townshend Podiums. The Podiums produced the best results, but they're also the most e... | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? @mahgister said: Thanks it feel better to be understood than being alone with common place fact and acoustic science... Well, don't get too excited. I'm on board with traditional absorption/diffusion treatments, bass traps etc. Not even sure w... | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? @mahgister said: acoustic matter more than a piece of brand name gear at the end.. I tend to agree with this in principle, though I acknowledge there are gains to be had with well designed premium equipment. I'd rather have low cost equipment... | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? @mahgister said: I am not a gear fetichist but a student of experimental acoustic IN MY ROOM .... My wife puts up with acoustic panels on walls and I have autonomy in speaker and listening position - but don't think I'd get away with the exper... | |
| Best MC Cartridge Pairing for Technics SL-1210 GAE? You could save some money and get an LVB250 stylus for your 2M Bronze. Every bit as worthy as the lower-mid range MC cartridges. BTW, not that it matters but the Chinook is a jFET/tube hybrid phono stage. It's very well suited to MM cartridges ... |
