| Major innovative break through: The new NSMT Loudspeakers reference speaker @teajay i was pretty sure that as the order goes up the group delay went up, and the things that went along with slowness, muddies, and the other subjective things. And why people like transmission lines, infinite baffle and sealed boxes. WinSD ... | |
| Major innovative break through: The new NSMT Loudspeakers reference speaker I get into a lengthy explanation of why band-pass designs are rare and sound significantly sound superior in many ways to the normal designs mentioned above in the review. @teajay please do. I am attracted to BP designs, but thought that th... | |

| concrete (cinder) block tower with wood chopping block for turntable stand One can certainly bond them together with a structural adhesive like SikaFlex. (That would also likely provide some container layer dampening.) A grinding wheel to knock down high points and then another layer if adhesive to hold the top on can m... | |
| Vandersteen 2w sub hookup i do know for sure that there is no crossovers coming with the product. So I will have no w2 or such as a crossover. Find a used Vandy XO or buying a new one would work My experience is with hooking up subs with LFE. I have none in re... | |

| How does one pick in this situation? @llg98ljk could you give an example of what integrated amp you would pair for each one of those… If I was starting over, a Lyngdorf TDAI would be on my list. And if the room is troublesome, then it would move up the list. Looking at the ph... | |
| Looking for advice, recommendations Thank you everyone for your recommendations. I think I will replace my output tubes first, probably with KT 88s or KT 66s. You could do ^that^ and stop there? Next step will probably be preamp. Power amps will come after that. If you are... | |

| Ghost in the machine or I have the jedi force. Sounds like you are the Hans Christian Anderson of Marantz repairs. In addition to the anti skate, the lasers VTF and rake angle could have become aligned. My hypothesis is analogous to magnetic material being made into a magnet by aligned it in... | |
| Question for Vandersteen owners @holmz I was thinking about getting the Vandy sub but at the moment they are hard to find in my area especially one without the crossover. You sort of need their cross over wen running their sub. If you are going to run some other crossover,... | |
| Question for Vandersteen owners The Vandy sub mates well with the speakers, so that is what most use. And their Vandy crossover. | |
| SAEC Making Tonearms Again! Pindac, I was quoting from your post of 5-23-22. You can be forgiven for not recognizing something you wrote a year ago, nearly. I do not at all challenge your judgment of the copper wire that you have been discussing. I have no basis to doubt yo... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 holmz , Not at all. You ever tried an analog crossover on ESLs? Wel I have, several ones and they all turned out to be awful in the end.
