| Zerostat Milty really? Simple test-do you grind your own coffee beans? If you do, you've experienced coffee bean grounds clinging to the catch-basin. Practice with your Milty Zerostat. If you don't see the clinging grounds drop off like dead flies, there is something wr... | |
| Zerostat Milty really? To add to what Lewm said above, you need to learn how to use the Uncle Milty correctly. It does work. You hold it a foot away from the record and squeeze the trigger as slowly as you can and then do the reverse (releasing as slowly as you can) whi... | |
| In search for speakers of "natural" sound Huy; again, I am not in your room. Everything matters. The flatscreen in between the speakers has to go. It is not about being on or off, it is about that highly reflective surface where you need a sound absorbing surface. If it can’t go, you mus... | |
| In search for speakers of "natural" sound Digital has a natural sound. It’s the sound of paper mache. This just goes to show that talk with someone enough, and some commonality can be found 99% of the time. To anyone who posts with a specific model or brand of loudspeaker to the OP, yo... | |
| Schitt turntable anyone? Moffat looks like he was dying to scratch his balls. That seems to be pretty much a metaphor for the Company and it's products. That is not necessarily bad. We [men] all scratch our balls now and then. But not in polite company. So in all seriousn... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? Ralph; I hope my DeVore O/93’s are on your list of the speakers that meet your preferred characteristics. But be that as it may, I want to add that I made timbre my number one pursuit when I had my last go-round with equipment upgrades. Based on m... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? Well, I do have the dedicated listening room with sound treatment on the walls and ceiling at the first reflection points and corner traps. I have sound treatment on the front wall between my DeVore 0/93's. My speakers are positioned for best soun... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? IMHO, Audiokinesis has added more useful insight into the attainment of true timbre than anyone else. Sure, it helps to have a "rich timbre" speaker to begin with, but despite all the evidence and professional agreement, the average audiophile ref... | |
| Dead Can Dance reissues - not happy My copy sucks. With digital, the shakers on the opening track pop out in front of my speakers and sound real. With my vinyl copy, they sound flat and they are not as tightly spaced. This is just one example that holds true for the entire album. It... | |
| What is the fascination? It's a Pabst I believe. It was completely stripped down and rebuilt with Audiosilente high torque brushes by Greg Metz of STS/Classic Thorens. | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Chrissie's last name is Hynde. Sorry, it bothers me. I'm from Ohio and so is Chrissie. | |
| Good carts with SME V I disagree with you Chakster. And that is despite you and I being the two principle Reed 3P fan-boys on this board. Btw, if you don't mind my asking, where are you (Asia?). Just curious. This might be the topic of a separate thread, but between th... | |
| What is the fascination? Personally, and only personally, I prefer mating a vintage deck-restored or revitalized by a pro, with a modern era arm, in my case Reed 3P's. My "trusted guy" for deck restoration mostly gravitates toward SME 3009's. When he got a chance to see, ... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? Having owned Adagios, they are a great speaker, but based upon a long history listening to them, I think that transmission lines mated to mid-woofers tend to have rather bloated, "blubbery" bass at the break-up frequency, right around 45 hz or so.... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? As good as the various designs were there was only one loudspeaker there that left me unable to find any fault sonically, and that was the Kerr Acoustic K320 (https://www.kerracoustic.com/k320) Interesting; other than having a single mid-woofer... |
