| Sound Absorption Behind and Between the Speakers? Before you jump in sound absorption I suggest that you consider covering the window with materials that will mimic the absorption/reflectivity of the rest of the wall behind the speakers. What you are looking for, ideally, is uniformity across the... | |
| Rekokut Turntable model NL 33H...Anyone Familiar with this model ? I have a restored a vintage Rek-O-Kut N-33H turntable. My Uncle got hold of it from a radio station and gave it to my Dad in 1969 or so. Dad used it until about 1976 when it got retired to the garage.I restored this one about 20 years ago. N33 dec... | |
| Quicksilver Mid Mono - power matching spotconlon - the Quicksilver Mid Monos are very good amps. They can work well with a wide variety of speakers. The operative term here *wide variety*. Speakers come in many shapes, styles, technologies and price points.But it's hard to provide use... | |
| The Truth About Preamps FACT!!! most sources today that have variable volume output have output stages that equal and sometimes better most preamps, especially tube ones.George, what analog source doesn't absolutely need a preamplifier gain stage?I have been in this ga... | |
| Kanazawa speaker. Who has any experience with these? Heard of them in passing reference. Probably online in a forum somewhere. Have never or heard them. There's a lot of very small batch, obscure Japanese audio gear that never made to the states. Try some Japanese audio forums. Google Translator is ... | |
| IMHO (and friend's) opinion of acrylic platter The difference between platters is much greater than even that much VTA.@millercarbon What, seriously?I have mounted hundreds (if not thousand) of cartridges in my otherwise wasted lifetime and I always use the "ear" method for making final adj... | |
| Speakers hung from ceiling on aircraft cable. In terms of losing bass, just remember that most concert speakers are suspended. Mmm, some but not most. That's why JBL makes 18" bass drivers and stage managers use plenty of 'em.Also remember that concert stages are usually higher than the au... | |
| Another review of a tweaked Denon DL-103R ??? Oh no! Boring? Surely not! Please read it! @ultima700 Jose, I am not offended and no need to "unfollow." I apologize if I touched a nerve but I stand behind what wrote. Objectivity is one of the keys to believability. Again, IMO. | |
| Speakers hung from ceiling on aircraft cable. Wow, deja vu all over again. Hanging your speakers from the ceining was a common practice when I worked for RogerSound Labs in the 1970s.Short answer: bad idea. Why?1. Imaging sucks. Do you enjoy the soundstage from ceiling mounted speakers? Cable... | |
| Another review of a tweaked Denon DL-103R ??? Oh no! Boring? Surely not! Please read it! *Note to prospective Audiogon posters*If you want me to take your post seriously, please do not write a review as if you are 16 years old and touched someone else's naughty bits for the first time. A review containing a sentence like "This is Heav... | |
| Does solar + battery installation improve sound quality vs "the grid"? I am not an expert on solar systems, but we did install solar in our SoCal home a few years ago. My knee jerk reaction to your questions is maybe but I wouldn't expect to hear a positive difference, In fact, I would have been happy had the convers... | |
| seeking ‘HORN’ ideas apart from Klipshc Lascalla As you are aware, there is a wide variety of horn speakers available. As ozzy62 suggested, how about a nice pair of Cornwalls?As I have posted in other threads I'm currently running a pair of 2-way JBL L200T3s in my living room. There are essentia... | |

| Thorens TD 124 or TD 125 MK. Which model Thorens vintage turntable you keep is entirely your call. Assuming you have played both, which do you prefer or like best?I'm a TD-124 guy. It's the swiss watch of turntables, which is both good and bad. Good in that when restored and ... | |
| Bedini 25/25 1 meg Have you ever heard a Bedini amplifier? I ask because Bedini amps have a unique sound (IMO) that is not for everyone. When I purchased my first pair of Shahinian Obelisks some years ago I was advised to drive them with a Bedini 45/45 or 100/100. I... |
