| Your Nominations: Top Phono Stages under $1,000 another vote for Croft - I have the RIAA-R in a vintage system with Apogee stage and i have to say it works incredibly well with my Grado.I much preferred it to a Phenomena II+ ( yes I know it is 2x the money) | |
| What have I missed in the last 12 years? i had a 202 and C15 running Vandersteen 3A-Signature for years..you will be pleasantly suprised what they are still worth outright or in trade. The C15 the rarer of the two, hyper quiet and has a great MM section.but i understand the allure of tub... | |
| Is there any advantage to lower efficiency speakers? 87 or below? how much live unamplified music is in your listening diet ?and then with a good mic or two before the tape heads or after ?try that a bitbut yes we all have our opinions | |

| KLIPSCH TWEETERS, WHICH STOCK TWEETERS ARE THE BEST I have the less expensive Crites replacement in the pair of 1974 Cornwallsnot sure about SQ but Bob seems to know a bit...i use them as garage rockers so critical listening is done with beer and power tools.... | |
| Vandersteen 5? My experiences are vastly different.Initially Dutch brusque and moments later friendly but direct.When we owned 3a Sig and were going to be driving near Hanford on a trip my wife called factory and requested a tour.In his Richard way he said we do... | |
| John Atkinson's thoughts on the New Vandersteen System Nine from LA Show yes CF especially the aerspace grade stuff Richard uses is brutally expensive.i was blessed to do some composite work on simple products like the space shuttle, F-22, 787 and more...getting a bond to balsa core is proprietary and deservedly so.to ... | |
| John Atkinson's thoughts on the New Vandersteen System Nine from LA Show so nobody so far except JA has heard it.i myself wonder because i have a smallish room for 7's and ( foot print but not volumemetrically )squeezing in subs would be difficult.my system is pretty flat, yes the first stop is quite audible and artic... | |
