| Turntable is the most expensive in the chain, do it make sense @tablejockey ”…I’m aware the VPI philosophy is far from true ‘high performance’…” I am not sure why you would say that. I went from a Garard to a Dual 1229 to a VPI HW MK II, upgraded to MK IV. I’ve had the VPI for 38 years. Built like a br... | |
| Best turntable under $4000 Imho, never consider buying a table without also considering the arm and cartridge to go with it as a system. fwiiw, I’ve got a VPI HW MK IV, Sumiko MMT, and a Koetsu Onyx. I bought the store model of the table and arm, the cartridge second han... | |
| Free air resonance @curiousjim — I am not aware that I have any control over the Velodyne crossover setting. It comes at 85HZ. I don't know where you get over 100. The Velodyne frequency response is 18-85hz. The resonant frequency is <4hz — Yes they are great! ... | |
| Free air resonance Good morning @mijostyn - plywood - the “port” is just a rectangular hole about 2.5” or 3” x 12” cut into the baffle in front, below the driver. A wooden block is affixed inside the cabinet that I slide up and down to open or close the port, or ... | |
| Free air resonance @mijostyn "....In order for me to get a handle on your enclosures I need the interior dimensions and the material they are made of such as 3/4" plywood or 1" MDF." I am certain that they are plywood but I can tell you tomorrow. Altec specs f... | |
| Free air resonance @mijostyn - there will be three Moroccan rugs. 🙂 - I use Doug Sax’s Mastering Lab crossovers. http://www.rintelen.ch/download/604xover_SP.pdf I had Jon Specter replace all the caps with Jensen audio grade caps - as for the current enclosures, ... | |
| Free air resonance @mijostyn @erik_squires Thank you both, bunches. I’m learning a lot already. Eric, the room is semi-anechoic, not anechoic. The floor would have to be treated as well, which it most certainly is not. In my last home, I did the room this way... | |
| Free air resonance @erik_squires thank you Eric. I am working on finishing the room. All the walls are 5” rock wool. The gable ceiling is 12” rock wool. All covered with fire resistant burlap instead of sheet rock. The floor is hard wood. Essentially, a semi-... | |
| Free air resonance Thank you @mijostyn @mahgister This is not about a subwoofer. The reason I ask is that I have a pair of Altec Lansing 604Cs and I now, as of last night, was able to get a 604D to match the 604D that I already have. I am currently using t... | |
| Integrating speakers into contemporary decor - can WAF ever be overcome? Hide the speakers underneath the two tiger skin rugs that she got while she was on safari. | |
| Curious to know what you guys think/like about Pink Floyd's early work I listen pretty much only to early Floyd, up to and including DSOTM, but especially Meddle, Atom Heart Mother and Ummagumma. I don’t listen to their later work as much. | |
| My Final System Build in Words & Pictures Room treatment? | |
| Biggest "bang for the buck" audio gear you have owned(in your history)? Dyna 70 - $150 A pair of Dyna MK IIIs - $200 Altec Lansing 604Cs - $1500 pair I still use the Altecs, 43 years. The Dynas are back up for my Futtermans. | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? 1 - compatibility 2 - how it sounds, to my ears. | |
| Storage boxes. Can I discard high end shipping boxes, and still sell in the future? I acquired most of my equipment second hand. I never gave thought to whether or not it came in it’s original box. Most of the time, it did not. |
