| If you lost your stereo system would you still ??? I enjoy music through a Sony and JVC boombox.There is more of an emersive factor to the other systems,but you can't take them with you.It's the soundtrack to your life. | |
| Magnepan MMG or something else I would suggest that if you are adding a sub,get two.Many will argue that only one is needed,but the other will add more separation and more uniformly load the bass.Akin to a true full-range set of speakers.I don't believe the claims of non-direct... | |

| Best Phono Stage within 2000 $ If you haven'settled on the phonostage,please keep the Aqvox in mind.In its' balanced operational mode,it accepts cartridges in the .1mV range.Have owned some pricey units (Walker Sig/Ref,the custom Terra-Song,Vendetta Rsch and had experience with... | |
| Which is the most tubelike solid state amp around I've owned the Lamm M1.1s and thought they were very tube-like,suppose it is the input tube and "class A" operation.I wouldn't see why the 2.1/.2 wouldn't fit the bill.I don't believe it is necessary to go to the .2 units,if money is an issue.I bo... | |
| New Gallo 3.5's Barry_e_cohen:Yes,the Reference 2.I own a modified pair(systempost).The tweeter needs to be moved forward to allow phase alignment.Probably the only flaw in the original,other then the expense of the aluminum spheres and the fact that Gallo didn't... | |
| Anyone hear the 3-LP set from Thorens Thanks Bkonig.Couldn't find an artist listed that I didn't enjoy.Thought it might be a "treat" when the analog rig was back up.Wanted to make sure the recordings/production were of high quality. | |
| Anyone listened to the 50th Ann Shuguang KT-88 Mechans:Yes,I too like the Gen 9 12ax7s-I bought 4 matched pairs.Sold one pair.Probably shouldn't have,but it was to a friend.I use a quad of the GEC/MOs in my PL2 and was considering buying back-ups.Thanks for the heads-up on the GL re-issues.Sou... | |
| Question I Have Never Seen Before? I've seen that Kinkos/Fed-Ex offer to pack things?? Finding boxes to accomidate the individual speakers might be a start.Then a thin sheet of foam wrap,with cardboard to surround.Bubble wrap and the outside box.Just a thought | |
| woofer combo & alignments: on large vs few small When woofers are at play,the smaller goes to and fro while the larger over-shoots the mark.In packs,there is safety in numbers;> | |
| What do you consider when setting crossover freqs? Depends on the active/passive implementation.I usually look at the response of the "main" speaker, stated at its' 3db down point.If using a passive cap/inductor arrangement,then you are looking at an octave up or down +/- (twice the Freq going up/... | |
| Turntable on a $5k budget? Looking back "when" I was putting a table together:I bought the Bluenote Bellavista ($1200/Canadianguy),An OL arm ($1.6-2.6) and a good cartridge:Allaerts/Dynavector-there are other options ($2-3K).Then added a first-rate phonostage for about $2K.... | |
| woofer combo & alignments: on large vs few small The Multiple/small configuration can be as applicable as a single large.One large:pros 20Hz bass,cons- have to do with settling time and speed as frequency increases.Small/multiple:impedance usually isn't an issue,multiples can have similiar radia... | |
| Tubes for Antique Sound Lab 1009 The V-cap is a more dynamic and transparent unit,especially in the high frequencies.One can debate the warmth/articulation in the mid-bass. | |
| Turntable on a $5k budget? Raul,I might argue with at least one of your choices:the Goldmund Studio/T-3.This was the way to go,way back when.I consider the t-3 a PITA,due to the problems related to the arms' wanting to cue-up on its' own and some other issues.If I wanted to... |
