| I damanged my Shelter cartridge, next steps?.... You know, that Sumiko Celebration reminds me an awful lot of the old Supex 900 Super, with a little higher output.I wonder? | |
| I damanged my Shelter cartridge, next steps?.... From what I've heard, Shelter has no repair/retip service. They suggest you trade it in on a new one, for a small trade-in allowance. | |
| 16 ohm speakers: Pros & cons Pros: They work well with tube amps that have high output impedances. Especially most OTL types.Cons: They will not play as loud with solid state amps that have lower power output into a high impedance load. | |
| power amplifiers with ICEpower module I haven't tried listening to them yet.The reviews and user responses have been very good, as far as I've seen.The only digital amp I've heard so far, was the Panasonic XR70, in a friend's system. Not an ICE module, but a digital amp. Sounded prett... | |
| Do high zoot speakers sound "forced" Alot depends on what you are looking for out of your system. If you are a "bass freak" and must have prodigious bass response down into the lowest frequencies, then the single driver route is not going to be what you want, at least at this time(un... | |
| Someone w Experience Active/Passive Biamping Biamping with an active crossover is a better solution.Low power line level signals in the active crossover are much more easily and elegantly handled, than trying to handle them in a high-power element like in the speaker.Also, if you run each ch... | |
| Generator mounted off center in cartridge body. As long as the cartridge is not defective, and only the body seems to be a bit wider on one side than the other, it should not pose a problem.Assuming that the sides are still parallel, you can use them for alignment, and assuming the front is str... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Pat, the Audiopoints for your system, including ones for the sub are on the way to you(sent Monday), and you should be receiving them shortly.Enjoy! | |
| effective mass of rb300 with hvywght, , Lyra clavi Jwinder, the counterweight is meant to counterbalance the cartridge on a statically balanced arm such as the RB300. If a heavier counterweight is used, then it will need to be set closer to the pivot than a lighter counterweight would, in order to... | |
| Thoughts on vibration elimination... Rlxl, all the forms of feet and vibration control devices have their own levels of efficiency and sonic effects. Roller blocks typically are items which perform as a transfer device in the vertical plane, and a dissipator in the horizontal plane.A... | |
| Thoughts on vibration elimination... Esoxhntr, the differences in the Sistrum platforms is related to the size of the component(or speaker) and the expected weight of the component(or speaker) and the expected vibrational energy present in the component(or speaker).In reality, the Si... | |
| Blind Power Cord Test & results After reading the test article again, it seems there could be several different conclusions.1) There is not enough difference in power cords to be detected, therefore don't waste your money.2)Blind A/B/X testing is not an adequate test to determin... | |
| Sub stand? Wellfed, I haven't tried any bearings under my stuff, but it sounds like a cool idea.From what I can gather, it makes a multi-point solid coupling to the speaker base(with each ball in the bearing making a coupling point, in a circular arrangement... | |
| Thoughts on vibration elimination... There really is no such thing as "vibration elimination" in an audio system.There are various methods of trying to control the unwanted vibrations, or reduce the audibly harmful effects of the vibrations.Nearly every little part in an audio system... | |
| Blind Power Cord Test & results Well, since it is easy to determine what differences are audible in cables, whether you use A/B, long term listening, or whatever, then use whatever method you want to, and get the cables you want.What is so hard about this?I never have any diffic... |
