| Vinyl lovers--in case you haven't tried this yet Drubin and Eldartford: Yes, your point about stylus profile could be reasonable, but again none of us seems to know if it's actually the case in these products, just as with the suspension question, or Eldee's suspicion (shared by me until I'm tol... | |
| Thiel 3.7 LOL. (BTW, did you ever decide that you liked the 2.4 as well as you had the 1.6?) As for me, I think my main "issue" with speakers is what I would call trust: Whenever I hear a speaker that makes a certain disk or piece of music sound unusually g... | |
| Vinyl lovers--in case you haven't tried this yet I still haven't seen an explanation for why a "mono cartridge" would be better than simply mono-ing the signal from a stereo cartridge when playing mono disks. Electrically there would seem to be a difference only if a stereo cartridge were enough... | |
| Thiel 3.7 Hi Dan, thanks for the info, you're another one I haven't communicated with in too long. I saw a thread recently about phase- and time-accurate designs where you mentioned you've moved on to Harbeths and are well pleased (I almost contributed to t... | |
| Thiel 3.7 Hey! What happened to the old Shari?? This can't be good...Looking closely at the photos on the website, I don't think the new compound driver uses the shared voice-coil design. It seems to have two adjacent inner suspension gaskets, one for the t... | |
| Thiel 3.7 Hi Unsound, thanks for the greeting, nice to talk to you again too. I don't post much here anymore, except for sometimes when one of my old threads surfaces, and hardly ever look at the new threads these days, but every once in a while I do and ju... | |
| Thiel 3.7 Thanks Unsound for alerting us. I've held off doing anything about upgrading my 2.2's for this long largely to wait and see what JT did with the 3.7. The last time I spoke with Shari about it he supposedly had just begun to sit down with the prove... | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? Is it better for one to not be sarcastic, or to not make any sense? I'll stay with those who are both sarcastic *and* make sense over those who are totally sincere and make no sense at all...However Audioari1, unlike Wellfed I suspect, it's now qu... | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? Arggg...no worse killjoy than having to explain one's wise-ass comments, but you seem like a nice guy Audioari1. I'm just undecided about how sincere you are, because I assume your posts are totally on the level, which makes me question whether yo... | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? Audioari1: Sorry, but you'll pardon me if I have to assume you define "certain level of seriousness" the same way you defined "plausible" above. But, I do have to hand it to you -- only somebody capable of granting credulity in this matter could p... | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? Joe: Dig up your yard at will, I've cancelled that check and put two photos in my freezer, sorry guy! | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? Joe: Don't you dare touch that rocky soil of yours! I'm completely dependent on its being exactly where it is, undisturbed and having absolutely no relation or interaction with my system in the least -- otherwise my sound will just totally fall ap... | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? Eldartford, you could not be more misguided my friend. If you had any idea what you're talking about, you'd know that the CLC *attracts* UFOs. How else do you account for those user testimonials if not alien abduction?BTW, I hear the company is go... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Speaking of T-shirts, one of the items of Pat's that Barb was kind enough to send me turns out not to fit well enough for me to wear. It's a genuine traditional-style Levi's jean jacket, size 46R and in great shape, with 2 embroidered patches iron... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Pat might've moderated his stance on CD somewhat since '91 -- thanks in part, it seems, to that relatively modest mid-90's vintage player I sent him over the summer, a purely unintentional byproduct but one that I did get a kick out of. (My own vi... |
