| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 I hate to interject subjective, 'system-dependent,' synergy-type thinking here, since despite my subjectivist leanings, I tend to think of turntables in terms of accuracy, speed constancy, low noise and neutrality, but is some of the difference he... | |
| Subwoofers for Stacked Quad ESL 57's I think if I include an email in the message they block it. That's why you didn't receive it. My media website is flyingreptilemediagroup if you go there you can email me from there. What a pain. It is not like I am trying to deprive the Gon of a ... | |
| Subwoofers for Stacked Quad ESL 57's Rmarcus - I sent you a PM, please let me know if you got it.Best, | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 I don't think getting a projectable sample is of any value here guys. I think you have to put these units in the system in question, and live with them for a while. That's the only way. Expensive, perhaps, but if Maril bought a good MS, and got Je... | |
| Subwoofers for Stacked Quad ESL 57's I experimented years ago using a single pair of the old esl, decca ribbons, and could not get a conventional woofer to blend well. There is a possibility that you could use a planar type woofer- years ago, HP had Tympani bass panels with Quads, I ... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 I have no dog in this fight, other than that I'm sympatico with the OP because we share certain system attributes. I don't doubt Pani heard what he heard and will admit that the only time I've heard the AC table (I think it was the Black Knight) w... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Jaspert raises a real point here: short of setting up several tables in the same system, using identical arms and cartridges, it would be impossible to discern these differences in any absolute way. I suppose that if you heard some of these same t... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Maril: I can't answer your question, because I have no hands-on experience with either table. I'd also ask about the 8000, and there are a few owners of both Micro Seiki tables here who could tell you the differences. They would seem to be tweakie... | |
| Best Electrostatic loudspeaker? Wilfredt- Sarcher has some Sanders or the earlier version, I forget the name. You might look at his system and ping him. I started with 'stats back in the early 70's and could never find midrange comparable on other speakers, but using the origina... | |
| Preamp with quality MC phono section I think your starting list is a very good one, and you've gotten some thoughtful input (no pun) from others as well. Much is going to depend on synergy with the rest of your system. I was trying to get the VAC Sig IIa for a listen in my system rec... | |
| How to get the impact of a live concert? I agree with an earlier post in this thread by Wolf Garcia that it is virtually impossible to get that explosive quality of a kick drum right over a home system. I use very efficient horn speakers which have a self-powered dynamic subwoofer system... | |
| Why does better power = better sound? I'll share a few anecdotes based on my experience in my system, for what they are worth:first, I use very efficient horn speakers and it took some doing to get the line quiet. Not 60 hz hum exactly, but you could hear a sort of hash that was reduc... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE WillemJ- I have had my pair of ESLs since 1974, but they need to be restored. I will continue to use them, and will probably add a second pair to do a stacked array. I still have my Decca ribbon tweeters, which also need to be restored. And a pair... | |
| NYC new LPs store ? I used to drive to Princeton back in the day for vinyl. Now i just buy online. Interestingly, I've have had fewer problems with used records on places like e-bay than I have had buying reissues from the usual online sources- lot's of crappy re-rep... | |
| Audio Research SP3A-1 or Conrad Johnson PV11 Rrog, you and I had the same electronics, for me this was circa 1975. I used the SP 3-a-1 and Dual 75a with a pair of Quad ESLs. What about you? |
