| System building; a meditation Let’s pretend that equipment is the lessor part of the whole enchilada…In that case I would be spruiking Dirac, or other EQ and room compensation schemes.At some point having an SO can be worthwhile, or at least a more costly upgrade than the audi... | |
| Koetsu Tonearm (mid 80’s I think?) Thanks @mijostynThanks @chakster that is a bit of gear.Those Luxmans look good with a couple of arms.There is an arm and Koestu Red Signature MC as a combo… Hence the Q&A. | |
| System building; a meditation I dunno… when I started the preamp and amp were often shown with the speaker I choose. And the speaker was one that was tolerant of many amplifiers. So that makes it a bit easier IMO.In an objective sense, one could use a known waveform and gated ... | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... If they don’t believe in power cords because they don’t understand how they work, I’m guessing they do not fly in airplanes either. Wright! | |

| Townshend Springs under Speakers @mitch2 thanks.the quote in the link says,…I highly recommend EVPs. They are the real deal. Norman is the real deal. Everything he designs is based on science, there is no voodoo here, and this science has served to truly improve my sound.” Bob K... | |
| High end high quality int. amp for low level listening Something like that makes more sense. Those recommendations for a more sensitive speaker or a higher powered amp still have me scratchin’ my head!Yeah…And I’d be interested in what DACs you’re choosIng from. | |
| a/v processor Look at the Lyngdorf MP-60 2.1. It is the only high end processor that I know of that has 2.1 now, and includes all the formats you listed. I’ve had the MP-50 in the past, if felt it was a very excellent receiver. It is VERY easy to set up and ca... | |
| High end high quality int. amp for low level listening At 60 db liwstening level , you are only using less than 20 watts ...if that.He said:It's known that the speakers are power hungry as they rated at 86db sensitivity and 4 ohm impedance So 1 W would make 86 dB. maybe they are 3 meters away so they ... | |
| High end high quality int. amp for low level listening More efficient and higher impedance speakers make a lot more sense than a more powerful amp. ^How^?At 60 dB they are not stressing the amplifier, and unless that 60dB goes to 80dB SPL, then there is no great reason to add more watts, nor to add mo... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Okay I get it now. EVP is confused and has conflated damping with isolation. Ok, so do these items work on the principle of damping or isolation? | |
| Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner I have one in silver in a sealed box just arrived from a authorized dealer. Circumstances have me considering a sale. Please PM if you are interested.PM sent | |
| Hana ML and Korf head shell The p77i compliance is 18, so it’s a ways away from the Hana at 10 cm/dyne.And the We-317 tonearm manual says “high mass” tonearm.Are these p77i really good?I read some subjective reviews that seemed to indicate that they’re glary?Have you fellows... | |
| Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner If anyone sees a demo model, or wants to change color, then please sing out.I am heavily lean towards one of these. | |
| Klipsch Forte ii too bright, or is it my room ? Someone in the area could have another amplifier or another set of speakers.Then if the pioneer was fine on other speakers that points to it “having been” ok. (Sure it could have changed)If the Pioneer was on those speakers in another room and “al... |
