| LOOKING TO IMPROVE THE ACOUSTICS OF MY LISTENING ROOM @OP Please post a photo of your room in your virtual system. It's impossible to offer any advice without seeing your room. | |
| A great singer you may have never heard, or even heard of. Willy DeVille should we well known in Hi Fi circles because Assassin of Love was one of Ken Kessler's reference tracks for years. I use it for demonstrations at hi fi shows myself. | |
| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? @OP - as per another post above. Get a VdH cartridge - 2000 hours no problem and affordable retipping/rebuilding - in Europe at least - regarding retipping. | |
| Help getting back to enjoying music and movies in one system @OP. For audio, the amp is your weak point. Upgrade your amp rather than your speakers. The LS 50s respond very well to better amplification. | |
| USA Distributor List Re comments above about the drive unit. The Purifi drive unit is a fairly recent development - and the crinkly surround is a major part of the design. Thrax aso use it and I expect you will see it becoming a lot more common. | |
| soft dome versus hard dome tweeters Both metal and soft dome tweeters have improved over the years. But loudspeaker design, possibly more than any other aspect of hi fi, is about system performance. As an example, the Focal inverted dome titanium tweeter sounds radically different i... | |
| Does anyone listen to the radio anymore? My Meridian tuner just died, but I am still listening to on my Tivoli radio which, stupid volume taper aside, still sounds great. I listen to the radio with my wife while having dinner - same show Monday to Friday. About five years ago, I stopped ... | |
| Class A bias, speaker sensitivity, watts...? @OP Re Boomerbillone's post. It is a little misleading to tie references to distortion to the output devices. Class A operation avoids crossover distortion. However, amplifier distortion is influenced by a whole host of factors so you can still ha... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @ghdprentice, for absolute clarity, I was referring to Sony in terms of the sensors (also used b Leica) rather than Sony's cameras. But I stand by saying that the Zeiss Otus's will stand up against any 35mm lens and give top MF lenses a good run f... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @ghd prentice.Have you tried a Zeiss Otus on a Nikon with the Sony 45mp Sensor?. There are more roads to Rome than Leica. | |
| Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover) For anyone interested in cover art, I can highly recommend Aubrey Powell of Hipgnosis's compendium of their work - fabulous artwork and a great read as well. | |
| Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers @OP. You shouldn't be having imaging issues with your Harbeths. So the issue there is either setup/room and or ancillary equipment. The Harbeth's are tonally refined, which some people would characterise as laid back. But driven by a more dynamic ... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable Hi @allesandrocat. I'm delighted you have found a TT you love. If you like the SME 10 then you would be well served by an SME 20 or 30, or, depending on the age of your SME 10, one of the newer power supplies. Regards Y | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @richardbrand. I've been involved in the industry since the late seventies, so I'm pretty conversant with the history. | |
| Linn LP12 turntable @richardbrand. I'm not that far from Glasgow. But glad to know that Scotch is cheap down under - it certainly isn't in my neck of the woods - proving your scotch theory :)) @ alessandrocat - SME and Linn's turntables are the proverbial chalk and ... |
