How much Power do speakers really use ???????
Pbb, my statement was applicable to any system of any power level, as it did not state any defined number of watts. Even high power amps are not played beyond a few watts nominal at moderate listening levels. At peaks, they use more. At higher lis... 
How much Power do speakers really use ???????
It's the usual "it depend" answer. It depends on how loud it is playing, how efficient the speaker is, how dynamic the music is - especially the bass dynamic content. Also other factors. For many people, there is a listening level that is comforta... 
If you could have 2 turntables...
I have been known to like and promote the Teres turntables. I would recommend one of the 245 or 255 series. 
Rega P 25 and Express Machining Counterweight
I had excellent results on my OL arm with the Heavyweight. 
Frank Van Alstine Grado Longhorn Cartridge??
If the cartridge is properly affixed in the headshell, and the arm has any stability whatsoever, this is a totally useless mod. 
Any AudiogoNers Winston Cup fans?
I used to be a pit crew chief for a formula car racing team, and I can agree with what was said earlier about how different the speed seems when you are up close. I used to hold the pit board up for the driver when he came by on the pit straight a... 
Best Tonearm Match for Shelter 901
Brian, linear tracking arms that are of the kind of quality that you would need, are all air bearing types. They have alot of issues with leveling, keeping moisture out of the lines, and the noisy air pump, which usually has to be kept in another ... 
Best Tonearm Match for Shelter 901
Bwhite, Moerch is a good arm. It's not one that I would select personally for myself, but you could do alot worse. About the adjustment methods, all you have to do, is adjust it once, and you know how to do it. You just have to get on the bicycle ...

What's a phonostage, and do I need one?

vibration and noise management - surprise surprise
Hi Judit. I have also had very good experience with Audiopoints, and also Sistrum platforms. I agree that they know how their products work, and how to get the best results with their products. Also they are very happy to spend time on the phone, ... 
Save a vinyl newbie, please
I'd say follow those instructions he gave you about cleaning the records. Especially if you got used ones. If you have noise "like the ocean" coming out of one tweeter, there is likely some wear on one channel of the record groove. When you buy us... 
Best Used Turntable for around 1K
The term "best" is highly subjective, and will elicit alot of different answers.I would recommend listening to as many of the used TT's from the "name brands" as you can, and make your decision based on that.Use the cartridges that you are plannin... 
Hammond b-3 organ
It's got "the growl". 
How much LF info on LPs?
Pbb, the point of the frequency response was not whether we are hearing the 7Hz or not, but that it is possible with LP records. The point being that a properly made LP record is not bass limited as the thread poster surmised. The information is c...
