| Are Lowthers a "full range listening" speaker? Hi Dennis. The Jena labs cabinet designs are some of the relatively newer designs on the Lowther market. The Medallion 2 is sort of like a Lammhorn design, and is good to about 60Hz on the bottom end. True horn designs, whether they be front or re... | |
| Are Lowthers a "full range listening" speaker? There are no plans available for my mods, but the basic design came from the Lowther Club of Norway design, and that is the best one I know of. To improve wave-launch, and handle the baffle-step problem, I added 12" wide "swinging doors" to each s... | |
| Are Lowthers a "full range listening" speaker? I would say that if you mean "fullrange" to include the lowest octave(20Hz-40Hz), the answer would be no. But for my tastes, I would say that the Lowther/Voight Pipe system I have is quite satisfactory for "broad listening". I have not had any ext... | |
| TT for OL Silver/ Shelter 501 Well, the OL Silver arm and Shelter 501 are both excellent products, and they will go a long way to ensuring good sound out of whichever TT you put them on.You must bear in mind one of the cardinal rules of analog. That is, that in order of import... | |
| Is there a cd player that sounds close to an LP? It all comes down to sound quality vs convenience. | |
| This Sistrum stuff works Okay, what I'm saying is that there is some sonic improvement to be had from this brand of platforms and points. How much is dependent on your system. Anytime a rack or support can offer sonic improvements, instead of just being a shelf, is a bonu... | |
| Have you ever had this problem with a Rega P-25? Maybe try a little silicone lubricant on the piston. Like the kind that is in a spray can, but don't spray it all over the table, just get it on the piston walls. | |
| HELP please. phono preamp An Aesthetix IO would be an excellent choice. I have seen them on the used market under $3k. One of the best. | |
| Back-Up Low Output MC For My Arkiv B? All the models of DL103 are available direct from Denon USA, except for the DL103R model, which is not imported. It is my favorite one of this series. It can be ordered from Singapore via Audiogon member "Martin" through the Audiogon member lookup... | |
| Back-Up Low Output MC For My Arkiv B? Agree with Viridian. | |
| Review: Star Sound Technology Sistrum SP-4 Audio Rack Stand Mephisto, you'll freak when you try the Sistrum platforms under your speakers. I have them under my single-driver Lowther Voigt Pipes, and they made a substantial difference for the better. I had a slight boxy cabinet resonance in the lower midran... | |

| What cartridge for MMF-7? Sure you could do that on the Project 9. Try a Denon Dl103R or a Ortofon X5-MC. An EAR 834P is a good tube phono stage at a reasonable price. | |
| What cartridge for MMF-7? About your frequency response hump at 40-50Hz, that is probably a room interaction. It may depend on where you are standing when you take the measurement. It may be quite different in different spots in the room. If you are doing it at your chair,... | |
| Newbie question on TT. Marty, does it help if you empty those 3 drinking glasses of a fine single-malt Scotch whisky before you put them under the table? :^)I didn't know if the Dual 701 is direct drive. Sorry if I was wrong about that. |
