| Why not more on 845 SETs? Dave, not really "writing them off", but just mentioning that there can be some things that go beyond what is normally expected.I'm not saying that single-driver speakers are for everybody, but I am saying that there is a certain synergy between t... | |
| Why not more on 845 SETs? I personally think that the additional power in an 845 SET is not necessary. But, I guess that if someone wants to power some less-efficient multi-driver loudspeakers, it would be usefulWhat I would ask about this is, why would someone want to use... | |
| THE05: Audiogon Internet Cafe: comments I enjoyed the Audiogon Internet Cafe alot.I was very pleased to meet Arnie and Steve and Albert Porter there, and of course, Stacy.I used the terminals for checking on auction prices, and for keeping abreast of what was happening on Audiogon too.I... | |
| A short afternoon of Linn, Basis and Redpoint Nice chance to hear a few tables.But, we'd really like to hear about what the "top-line arms and cartridges" were, on each table, so we can have a more insightful look into this comparison.We heard about the Vector arm on the Basis, what cartridge... | |
| Are tube amps class A ? Single-ended Triode amps are Class A by definition. | |
| Suggestion for more detail Very perceptive thought, Doug.That might very well be it.Especially if they are the heavy vinyl records that might noticeably upset the VTA setting. | |
| Older PURE CLASS-A Amplifiers Consider checking out a Stax DA-80.Pure Class A.Runs hotter than hell. You could fry an egg on it.Sounds great.It will be in your price range or below. | |
| effective mass of rb300 with hvywght, , Lyra clavi I believe that the RB300 is actually about 11 grams effective mass.I think that the standard RB300 will work fine with the Lyra, or the Benz, and would need a bit of additional mass for the Shelter. Some people use the DIY HiFi mod to very good ef... | |
| Lowther speakers for Fisher X-202-B? El, yes some whizzers do exactly that. That's what happened in the older Lowther models with the old whizzer cone.Now it is different.While it is true that whizzers can have their downsides, they also have their good points. There is no doubt that... | |
| Dogs and wobbly speakers I agree that behavior modification for the dogs is a good idea.However, if you decide to bolt the speaker to the floor, it could be good for the sound quality. There will be no possibility for rocking movement of the speakers during play, and it w... | |
| Suggestion for more detail It may help to try a more detailed cartridge, but it also might not. And it might have something to do with wear on some records, and it might not.Many of the newer re-releases of CD's are re-mixed.As such, some of the things that were not so prom... | |
| Lowther speakers for Fisher X-202-B? Jtnicolosi, yes probably the Fostex would be a bit less revealing in ultimate detail, and may provide a bit more ease of listening for those who tire of deep detail in their systems. | |
| Lowther speakers for Fisher X-202-B? Both Fostex and Lowther are good drivers. Some will prefer the Fostex, and some will prefer the Lowther.Personally, I found the Lowther drivers to be what I preferred.Generally the Fostex drivers are a little bit less in sensitivity, with about 94... | |
| Lowther speakers for Fisher X-202-B? Perhaps I made my post sound a bit to negative.I use Lowthers, and like them very much.I was just trying to point out that there have been changes in the last couple of years, and maybe some people hadn't heard the newer versions, which are better... | |
| Sub stand? I always used Timken bearings when racing my SCCA Sprite in H production. Great bearings. |
