| What matters most in speaker design? In my meager experience I would agree with Duke and others about the crossovers. That is truly where the art meets the engineering and can make or break a speaker system. I have gone down the same path that Wireless' friend traveled. It is very ea... | |
| Choice of Koetsu cartridges? Koetsu midrange magic"Magic", huh? Well, that isn't what I would call it. ;-)I agree with Rudolff and Raul on this one and also recommend the XV-1s. That cartrige will play all of the genres you enjoy, and will also play rock, very well indeed. Th... | |
| what is the theory behind maple stands and racks? Maple isn't really all that hard, IMO. The vibrations that enter the platform are bounced around and some converted to heat within the wood. With most butcher block platforms there are many surface boundaries which effect the waves traveling throu... | |
| Mark Knophler; recommended music?? John_fink, my thoughts exactly. All the way back to when Dire Straits first showed up, Knopfler has always made me progress to pulling out Naturally, or Troubadour. I have never thought he was trying to be Cale, but that early style always brought... | |
| RB-301 Spring "ringing" when VTF set to "2"? Hi Reb,this is a well known and documented tweak to the Regas with the springs. Springs vibrate. That is what they are meant to do. Removing the spring helps takes away unwanted resonances. | |
| anybody have a doshi pre to audition? Hi all,Peter, thanks for a very nice time the other day! If we do this again I'll dispense with the Garmin and follow how I know to drive out to the coast. Maybe then I would have the time to have heard Alan's H20. That was my first experience wit... | |
| What are you using to clean LP album covers? baby wipes. Just carefully blot those paper covers. | |
| Enough detail or too much? If it is on the record, I want to hear ALL of it the way it was recorded. If it is not on the record, I don't want to hear anything added. That is my goal. | |
| Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt HI Emailist,It is a slight difference to the touch. I find that the textured side will stick a bit when the mylar is allowed to freely slide on my finger. The smooth side just glides along. And, it is usually the side that the mylar wants to curl to. | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility Axelwahl,What you are describing is NOT normal and does NOT have to be accepted. New or used arm doesn't matter. If one can't set up a 9" arm correctly, one probably can't set up a 12" arm correctly either. | |
| Can a small amount of bleach hurt your records? A few drops won't hurt, but if your solution is growing things those dead carcasses are going to wind up on your LPs. If it were me, I'd dump the old stuff and get a fresh batch. Keep it cool and in the dark to prevent future regrowth. | |
| Speaker Pairing Question why ask here? the speaker has no idea there is a turntable upline. | |
| Looking for a good speaker cable for tube amps. Clear Day that advertises here on A'gon makes a very decent sounding speaker cable. I have a pair of the double shotgun cables and compared them to my Valkyrja cables. The Clear Day's haven't replaced my Nordost but they do sound good. I find the ... | |
| Large PA schematic for awkward space Horns, like every other venue of such size. Like the tiddy hippie said, you need to seek professional help to do it right. | |
| What component should be on a walnut board? The other possible answer is "none of them". |
