Adcom 555 SE owners .. Any reviews?
kalaliThis must be NOS Adcom amplifier. I thought Adcom was no longer in business.I thought so, too. But it looks as though the company is still in business.  
Good Matching Cartridge For Micro Seiki 505
@sampsa55, I didn't suggest that there's but one one specific effective mass cartridge that will work with any given pickup arm. A pickup arm will accept cartridges with a range of effective mass, and some pickup arms are more forgiving than other... 
THE WALL---Why?
enlitenAC power outlets can supply 10000A+ for very short periodsNo way ... at least certainly not where I live. And I've measured it. Many people would be shocked to discover that their 200A service can't even deliver 125 amps. In fact, 200A se... 
Dipole Asymmetry
sbank@cleeds the sound reflected off the wall behind the speaker is not a GOAL of dipoles it's the DOWNSIDE aka THE COST of dipoles. Try reading the setup tips page on Sound Lab's site for detailed explanation including the mathOh no, I could... 
Good Matching Cartridge For Micro Seiki 505
halcro I would have missed out on dozens of glorious arm/cartridge combinations had I not discovered the error of this 'myth' It's easier to get away with a mismatched arm and cartridge on a system that isn't full range, and of course many sy... 
Kuzma tables/arms?
fjn04... I'm also looking for more of an organic sound ... I've heard other listeners referring to sound as "organic," but never understood what they meant by that. After all, music itself isn't really organic, is it? Would you please explain... 
A80 (RC MkII) or A810 - which one should I buy? - ANY INPUT IS WELCOME !!
jsma...this is something you just have to hear, it is very organic!!!I've heard other listeners referring to sound as "organic," but never understood what they meant by that. After all, music itself isn't really organic, is it? Would you please ... 
Dipole Asymmetry
maplegrovemusicI believe room acoustics is the most important aspect in reproducing music in the home. There is no way you will here the difference with a rack behind one speaker with dipoles. Those two statements are in complete conflict with ... 
Micro Seiki MA 505 vs Triplanar MK VII UII
nandricHi cleeds, You are avoiding my question. My question was if any of your carts can track more than 50 microns with your Triplanar?I'm not avoiding anything. You've never asked me that question. Please get your facts straight.I don't persona... 
Good Matching Cartridge For Micro Seiki 505
halcroYou'll find it hard to find a cartridge that doesn't work with this creationThere's no such thing as a universal pickup arm. An arm must be matched to a cartridge that's suitable to the arm's mass.    
Micro Seiki MA 505 vs Triplanar MK VII UII
nandric... I also stated ''My Triplanar can't track anything above 50 Microns ...If you're stating that the Triplanar's tracking is easily bested by the FR regardless of cartridge, then I have to wonder about the state of your Triplanar. Did you ... 
TurnTable Quest
kgveteran Ok, whats the deal with Crosley..... I gotta askThey are pathetically cheap. See one here.I think they may actually make some "better" turntables now, but I don't think any Agoner would be caught dead with one.  
Dipole Asymmetry
@erik_squiresyou need about 15 ms between the direct signal and first strong reflections ...I get your point about that. I still don't see how absorption behind dipoles would help, unless the reflection was excessive. 
Dipole Asymmetry
sbank ...  you need absorption behind the dipoles, even more so if less than 5' distance.Would you please explain why you'd put absorption behind a dipole speaker, when part of the dipole concept includes reflection off the wall behind the speak... 
Micro Seiki MA 505 vs Triplanar MK VII UII
nandric  ... carts which track 70 microns with my FR-64 s can't track more than 50 microns with the Triplanar ... These two arms each have a very different effective mass, with the Fidelity Research being much higher than the Triplanar. So I wo...
