| Naim and Elac Adante, Wow @audiotroy disagree with your assessment of Harbeth being musical and lacking detail similar to the Vandersteen speakers. I appreciate your extreme knowledge of speakers and speaker design but IMHO the Harbeths are musical and detailed, especiall... | |
| Technics 1200 GAE, 1200GR or 1200G? a highly trusted source says that the GR sounds amazing and is truly 90% of the G. | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G I just ordered a GR and am looking into the details of alignment and it's ludicrous that Technics does not supply a decent protractor. relying on the gauge and the cartridge body being parallel is not doing this table justice. FYI i have heard t... | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G while i'm sure the G is an amazing table, has anyone actually heard the RP-8 / Apheta 2? One source tells me that the speed, transient response and attack is superior to the G. This is something that would make me lean to the Rega if true. | |
| New Technics SL1200G turntable in the first comparison on analog planet the sound and video are actually reversed. the caliburn video is playing the technics sound track and vice versa. to my ears the sound of the caliburn is much better than the technics, listen to the impac... | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G possibly because it is only a 9" arm? | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G I believe the RP8 and P6 share the same subplatter, motor, belt and TT-PSU, correct? If so, the RP8 will not have the speed stability / freedom from flutter that the 1200G will have. I witnessed occasional but noiticeable speed variation and flu... | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G after an extensive listen to the new P6, no way in the world would I consider the RP8 vs. the 1200 G. | |
| Technics 1200g vs Rega rp8, VPI aries, avenger, Basis 2000, Linn LP12 etc. Can it compete? kind of unsettling that the prime requires a speed controller to compete with the G. | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G congrats @jsm71 ! I will be very interested to hear how the ART9 and Delos compare as I own the '9 and am considering the Lyra. -i'm in a similar position with turntables and am considering the G, the RP8 and the VPI prime. At the moment my m... | |
| Move your sub @contuzzitrue, the phase adjustment does add delay but it has always worked for me. my typical method is to reverse polarity on the sub and take an RTA measurement using uncorrelated pink noise. It is easy to spot the main speaker's roll-off fre... | |
| Move your sub Proper sub integration starts with the room position that gives the smoothest response as measured at the listening position. For my sub it happened to be just outside one of room corners in front of me. From there you can adjust continuous phas... | |
| lush cartridge under $1500 used(?) unorthodox response but well under budget and worth the wait-get a used dynavector dv20X2L - send it to soundsmith retippers for the ruby cantilever ($350). the sound is lush, detailed and extremely dynamic. incredible. | |
| New system has fatiguing, harsh high frequency sounds. How to fix? you may have a system synergy issue (bright amp + bright speakers) especially since each are new and not close to being burned in / broken in. each should start sounding smoother over time- could take a year or so (seriously). however- your setu... | |
| Which speakers do I pick and are they close in quality As a dedicated lover of the Harbeth sound you really should get them. They sound great with all types of music and live up to their reputation. Holding their value is also a plus- keep them looking mint and save all your packaging and boxes. |
