| Sound Stage and Imaging These Falcon IMF 100 are well under 2 grand shipped. You will need stands. My nephew has them and they are a true bargain! https://www.falconacoustics.co.uk/imf-100-completeathome-loudspeaker-system.html | |
| Effects of concrete as base for subs, speakers and potentially equipment I use these concrete step stones for a base under my speaker stands. I painted them black to match the color of the stands. The results are outstanding!! https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Garden-Center-Hardscapes-Pavers-Stepping-Stones/N-5yc... | |
| Need an amp upgrade suggestion..... But not the usual upgrade request :-) Van Alstine should fit the bill. My friend is using the DVA SET 500 with his Harbeths and he is very happy with it! https://avahifi.com/collections/power-amplifiers | |
| Most recent speaker you audited in room and returned? Why did you return it? None! What say you? | |
| What does one need to know about playing old 78 rpm records? Here ya go! https://gradolabs.com/cartridges/prestige-series-specialty-cartridges/item/78-78-rpm | |
| Why don't they record in ‘surround stereo’? Quadrophonic was introduced back in the early seventies. It failed tremendously! | |
| power amp ideas for less than $3000 This Van Alstine should fit the bill. My friend is using that amp with his Harbeth M30.1s and is raving about it! https://avahifi.com/products/dva-set-500-stereo-power-amplifier | |
| Integrated with jacks for 2 sets of speakers? Any Yamaha has that feature! https://shop.usa.yamaha.com/en/c/audio-home-theater/hi-fi-components/integrated-amplifiers | |
| Cannot remove the grills from my Harbeth 30.2XD I use this magnet puller to remove the grills on my Harbeths. Many used Harbeths come with ripped grills and damaged edges from incorrect removal! https://www.homedepot.com/p/Master-Magnet-100-lb-Pull-Power-Handle-Magnets-96544/203613179 | |
| Is my amp good enough? @ tomic601 +1! | |
| What does the "high gain" option refer to when buying preamp tubes Tube depot charges $2.00 to test the tube. Like I said the gain is the same on all 6SN7s tubes. No test is going to change that! You should give them a call to explain what they mean! | |
| What does the "high gain" option refer to when buying preamp tubes All 6SN7s tubes are the same gain! 6SN7 is a dual triode vacuum tube with an eight-pin octal base. It provides a medium gain (20 dB). | |
| Does a record player make that much of a difference?? @joshindc From your original question it sounds like you don’t think your current table isn’t any ball of fire. My buddy is using a Technics SL-1210GR with the same Dynavector. It sounds great! The Technics has a decent arm and all the adjustmen... | |
| Invert ? That invert switch is a nice feature. My gear does not have that so if I wanted to check out the correct phase I would have to reverse the pos and neg on both speakers. I would have to shut off my amp every time and that’s just not worth the incon... | |
| Invert ? You can hear it. Fortunately, when two signals are badly out of phase, it’s easy to hear. When two similar tracks are mixed, they can sound thinner, tinnier, or harsher, indicating that they have a phase problem. |
