| Getting SET I'd take a serious look at a used David Berning Seigfried SET-ZOTL in either 300B or 811.Very top notch sound quality.I use a custom version of it , with the Type 45 tubes(2wpc), on single-driver speakers. | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? Dear Gendut3, I appreciate your obsession with expensive drivers. I assure you that after being an amateur hobbyist involved in speaker building for over 25 years now, I understand how this issue can become a focusing point for some.Yes, I do use ... | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? Hi. For the reductionists who want to think that everything about an audio component can be determined by a single item such as a driver, I suppose this is an interesting discussion.For people interested in the sound quality of a speaker system, m... | |
| Fully Modded Origin Live OL1 or Stock Rega RB-600? Ron, since the "end buttons" on the new OL Silver arm are broader than the old "cap nuts", you just glue the weights onto the ends, sticking out the same way. That's all there is to it.Perhaps a gram or two less weight in the weights(per side) mig... | |
| cones or amp stand-??? Ohlala, my comment was just pointing out that a certain magazine that you apparently regard as having valid articles can be just as prone to promote certain products as company reps can be. In fact,it is quite apparent that your position has for a... | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? Pal, most amplifiers, whether they are tube or transistor, will work fine with the Caravelles, as long as there is enough power for the 89db sensitivity of the Caravelles.I'm sure that most audiophile amplifiers over 40 watts would do the job(at l... | |
| cones or amp stand-??? Well Geoff, differing viewpoints are the spice of life. That's why there are many different products of all types on the market.We wish you all the best in your endeavors, now, and in the future. | |
| cones or amp stand-??? Right Geoff, and I also noticed Dickson's references to the lowest frequencies(like you mention) are not at all effectively dealt with by the rubbery stuff which passes whatever is below its resonant frequency( and also reaches overload very quick... | |
| Fully Modded Origin Live OL1 or Stock Rega RB-600? Yes, I read that review with interest, and what really floored me was that here were all these experienced guys using a DL103 on an OL1 and OL Silver, and not one of them had(or apparently even knew about) the HiFi mod for these arms.If they canno... | |
| cones or amp stand-??? I just read it. It appears the article was written with the express intent of promoting certain products which kept getting mentioned over and over again.Of course, I could be "biased". :^)A couple of points I noticed. He is quite right about some... | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? Newbee, due to the "True Series First Order" crossover network design employed in the Caravelles, the system impedance remains quite flat between 7 ohms and 11 ohms throughout the entire range. This is a characteristic of the first order series cr... | |

From our website: Caravelle Specifications:Frequency Response: 35 – 25,000 Hz +/- 1.5 dB Impedance: 7 ohms Efficiency: 89 dB Dimensions: 9.5 W x 13 D x 16.5 H Weight: 50 pounds each Tweeter: One inch magnesium/aluminum (hard) dome Woofer: Seven in... | |
| Upgrade my Turntable???? There are discussions of "shoot-outs" in the archives on Audiogon, and on AA.There aren't any "formal shoot-outs" in the magazines that I know about. It's kind of a thing that enthusiasts do to satisfy their curiosity about which sounds better to ... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Speaking of cars and Connecticut, I spent quite a few weekends back in the '70s with a Lotus 23B at Lime Rock Park in SCCA C-SportsRacer class competition.Lime Rock is a fun track. The roads around it aren't bad either.Cams? Yes the Lotus had a pa... | |
| Top ten DD turntables of all time? Cwlondon, the Linn LP12 is a "finicky" table, which requires specific knowledge to set up properly. I can understand if you had a frustrating experience with it. I, however, am a factory trained Linn setup technician, and had no trouble at all kee... |
