| My history with treble. Took the OP WAY TOO LONG to realize what accurate treble reproduction sounds like!! By 1982 I was designing and building loudspeakers. I loved the Dynaudio 28 mm soft dome tweeter. I knew by then what clear, accurate treble reproduction was about.... | |
| End of life for Vandersteen IICe? I’d be interested in having them for a rebuild. Pretty sure I can repair those original drivers. I’ve done more difficult repair jobs. | |
| MM or MI Cartridge? The big difference between MC/MI/and MM cartridges boils down to a very few factors, most notably stylus profile, of which much ink has been spilled, and inductance, which is rarely mentioned. Moving coil carts have the lowest, then Moving Iron, ... | |
| Best Forum to hear experienced audiophiles exchange thoughts? “Experienced Audiophiles???” Oh!! You mean HYPER OPINIONATED” audiophiles!! How many sites do you want? 20? 30? | |
| Perfect Vinyl Forever @wolfie62 Dogberry is right. US can’t cure abused records, but US gets the most from the records you have. I run a high power lab unit at 80KHz, 2 records at a time. If you fill a low power unit running at 40 KHz with 10 records, you won’t ge... | |
| Perfect Vinyl Forever you responses are appreciated, BUT AGAIN, I am asking not your opinions on various LP cleaning methods, not your personal preferences, not what machine(s) are preferred or Hz levels, not whether you think the price per LP is reasonable, BUT simp... | |
| Perfect Vinyl Forever US cleaning is just another fad and glitz show that’s currently ruining its course among vinyl newbies. I quit using US back in 2007. Too inconsistent. Got tired of having to clean the “clean” records! Fact is, just got 5 “professionally packaged... | |
| The damper, the tension wire and cantilever position @nandric Curious that you answer the question about the ''subject matter'' which you don't understand. No. Curious that I had to “assume” what the OP was asking. And now you’re “assuming” you KNOW what the OP was asking… So how do you ... | |
| The damper, the tension wire and cantilever position Having a real difficult time understanding the OP’s question, or point here: Now my assumption is that damper to which coills are ,say, pressed by tension wire balance cantilever/stylu combo in ''all directions''; left and right and abo... | |
| Prospectives on Chi-Fi Problem is, in the Chinese economy, there is NO WAY to separate the Chinese people/manufacturers from the CCP. No matter how you slice it, every $ spent on MIC is a $ to the CCP. Period. | |
| Unscrupulous ebay buyers Got a stylus in today from an eBay purchase. Old stylus for a 1960 Empire 108 (selling for $400+ now!). When I looked at the stylus using a 25x loupe, there was NO tip on the cantilever! Just an empty hole. I took pics. Sent to the seller. He gave... | |
| Incredible improvement in sound quality So, wow. My system sounds so much better. Sometimes you just need a professional. Although technically you can buy these devices for a couple hundred on line. You need to realize you need to use it. Couple hundred? I lost complete hearing in ... | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time @akg_ca Wow …a brand new member who joined yesterday, and this is a caustic and arguably offensive first post that is just a heavily biased and misguided personal rant ,…= an internet troll substituting normal polite forum conduct with insu... | |
| Did the Old Receivers Sound Good? True. Electronics have come “a long way.” Todays electronics are wave soldered using micro component SMDs and SMD semiconductors, robotically positioned on the computer designed boards, from computer designed and modeled circuits. The old stuf... | |
| Did the Old Receivers Sound Good? Vintage gear has a certain easy laidback sound that I can enjoy, but head to head with an upper end Levinson or even Parasound system quickly reminds one what hifi sounds like. Obviously, you only listened to one vintage receiver or integrate... |
