| High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference? @lewm a smaller motor pulley driving a larger pulley (platter vs. sub platter) has many engineering advantages as can be computed in simple belt pulley - pulley drive system configurations. i performed some engineering calculations simulating a 1... | |
| 8K for a one-time listen? it would be a bummer if the power went out while playing it. | |
| Next step up from the Dynavector 20x2 for more bass? don't blame it on the cartridge- I had a DV20X2L on a VPI table and there was bass o'plenty- perhaps too much bass. if you have a rega table you need to add shims to the tonearm to set the VTA properly- the rega cartridges are ~ 4mm shorter than ... | |
| Looking for a Phono pre around 1K you need an outboard power supply and large transformer to approach the sound of the "big boys" - e.g. paraasound JC3, manley chinook, lehmann decade (take a look under their "hoods"). you can get there with slightly above $1K with the lehmann bl... | |
| FM alive and well here...curious question I use my tuner on occasion and actually have the antenna in the attic- I have not gotten around to running the cable but it's something I had planned to do. Basically one good FM station in the Chicago area that I like. But I recently purchased ... | |
| High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference? personally my no. 1 design criteria for selecting a (belt drive) turntable is that the drive system uses the outer rim of the platter as the driven pulley. i will not purchase a turntable with a sub-platter as the driven pulley. there are too ma... | |

The JJs come stock on the Cronus Magnum and are a dark sounding tube but still capable of great sound. This w... | |
| Sealed subwoofer for ESL-63 according to stereophile's measurements for your speakers drop like a rock at 80Hz which makes them excellent candidates for subwoofer integration. the key ingredients for perfect sub integration are as follows-1) subwoofer with polarity invert s... | |
| Sub-woofer connection question In my experience the high level inputs sound better because it integrates better with your main speakers. I have the JL Audio D110 subwoofer and it clearly sounds better using the high level connections- just connect the cables at your amplifier i... | |
| Anyone using a Mytek Brooklyn or Manhattan (I or II) DAC as a preamplifier? I would have bought one of these if it could connect to an integrated amp preamp input. I don't understand why more quality DACs don't allow the option of connection to a preamp or integrated amp. | |

| Bass distortion before tweeter distortion with a monitor at high volume? I measured the KEF ls50s in my room and they seem to have a low pass crossover built in- the smooth drop off starts at 80 hz. If these are your reference speaker then you need not worry (and do not want to) add your own crossover. they can play ... | |
