| Best 2-way room friendly speakers Yada, yada, yada. Sorry, no disrespect intended to well intended suggestions, but you don't provide nearly enough information for truly meaningful suggestions. What amp? Are you keeping the Denon? Where are you placing your speakers in the room? W... | |
| Can My Subwoofers Damage My Home I would be careful if I were you. I live in a 110 yr old Victorian with plaster walls and plaster detail. Each of the three main rooms in the middle floor have a large ornate plaster "medallion" around the ceiling light fixture. My listening room ... | |
| Capacitor Size How does the amp SOUND? | |
| Build a new system around pair of Snell Alll's? How's it going? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, Lewm's comments re loudness and how distortion affects perceived loudness are correct. Banquo wrote how dynamics connotes a relationship between peak and minimal db's. I would modify that to say that it is the relationship between peak an... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? ****Supposed (?!) superiority of live sound to reproduced sound****Wow! I don't really know where to start. Let me put it this way: No question that reproduced music can SOUND better than live at times. But, good live sound (and certainly, the bes... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro, I think you are talking about two different things. The fact that music is live does not necessarily make it a good performance; that is obvious. I will gladly mention the live music events that fail to convince; I have heard many and been... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, thank you for addressing my comments. I can't disagree with anything that you wrote. My comments about the seeking perfection are not meant to suggest that there is anything inherently wrong with wanting it, but rather an attempt at sug... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? ****....but I am listening for something else in the music, call it visceral, and for another reason.**** - LewmVisceral, that's it! How does one measure/quantify "visceral"? Can it be done? I don't think so. But, like Lewm, I sure as hell know it... | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No Wolf said it all. Exactly right. | |
| Harry Pearson HP No Longer at TAS HP, warts and all (he could be pompous and indulgent with his use of language) was, IMO, the most relevant audio reviewer to ever appear in print. Relevant because his reviews (especially in the early days) always related to MUSIC not just sound. ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Acman3, I just picked up a (supposedly) mint copy of "Pictures". I will listen to it with the 412 and report back. I have not mounted the 412 since buying it. A Dejonette recording is as good a reason to do so as any that I think of; my favorite d... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? My feelings about the sound of the Acutex 420 have not changed. I find it to be a very realistically alive sounding cartridge, and refreshing in it's unwillingness to sound "pleasant" at all times. I have never listened to any other Acutex cartrid... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Slaw, I braided (twisted) the wires in pairs; red/green, white/blue. I would not braid all four. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners ****Once the wife's insulation has melted...."****Cracked myself up. Once my wife's insulation has melted, my iron.... Well, I better stop there :-) |
