| Dr. Feickert Analogue Woodpecker turntable @jasonbourne71 Not to feed your ego too much, but I loved your 'seismigraph' observation. That is exactly what a turntable is. And explains not only what an unlikely technology it is to have lasted over a century (!) but why turntables, arms, and... | |
| Did my preamp short kill my Mark Levinson amps and Infinity Beta servo ? OK, a 'short' means that somehow the preamp leaked DC voltage into the Infinity crossover/servo box and the power amp? But if the Infinity is a Low Pass/High Pass setup, which I think it is, the high pass section would block DC from the HP output ... | |
| MM or MI Cartridge? @terry9 I pretty clearly stated there were a lot of other factors " There are other factors, to be sure, vibration control, compliance, tracking ability, and several more but all of those can be controlled independently of the electromagnetic perf... | |
| Front or Back wall diffusers That's a generous sized room. The main thing to remember is you are treating a system that consists of the speakers, where they are in the room, and thus how the acoustically load the room, and the room characteristics themselves, including all wa... | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? With caveats and a basic understanding for room size (no LS3/5a in large rooms) placement (no Magnepans up against the wall), and power (MAs are esy to drive, moderately efficient, Maggies need more) I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with ... | |
| End of life for Vandersteen IICe? I'd c-list them for a nominal sum, buyer pickup. Your junk, another's treasure. | |

| MM or MI Cartridge? The big difference between MC/MI/and MM cartridges boils down to a very few factors, most notably stylus profile, of which much ink has been spilled, and inductance, which is rarely mentioned. Moving coil carts have the lowest, then Moving Iron, a... | |
| Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming I think a lot depends on the specifics of the digital systems used, i.e. were they 16/44, 24/96 or something else entirely? If the recordings were made using 24/96 technology, the vinyl made from those masters might sound better than CD, stream, ... | |
| Recommendations for against the wall high efficiency speakers +1 for the Monitor Audio Silver 500 7G. Not only are they the least expensive full range speakers in Stereophile's Class A Full Range category, they have an amazing combination of speed, agility and non-fatiguing ease that is very appealing. Their... | |
| Speakers for yoga studio Definitely use weatherproofed speakers. Particle board, MDF, even plywood + heat and humidity = moisture absorption and swelling cabinets, split veneers or peeling vinyl. Not to mention what hot 'n humid will do to drivers, voice coils, adhesives,... | |
| Inexpensive streaming amplifier Sell the Wharfedales and get a pair of SVS Prime Wireless Pro. Self-contained speaker/amps/streamer they won't crowd a NYC apartment and they will rock if asked. They offer just about every kind of connectivity available including HDMI ARC/eARC. I... | |
| Looking for new speakers for large audio room JBL S3900s or JBL 4367 and a pair of SVS SB or PB 16 Ultra Subwooofers. Alternatively, the pair of REL No. 31 or 32. Any combination would absolutely do the trick in a 5500 FT3 or 150 M3 room. No direct driver loudspeaker will have the output or d... | |
| Magnepan LRS+ which amps do you use ? * 100 watts or less ** 200W is only 3dB more power than 100W. Maggies do like lots of current, so any amp that is Happy at 4 Ohms and 100 W/Ch will do right on the LRS. If you want loud Maggies, then get bigger Maggies. | |
| Great sound at high volume The new big JBL monitors combine efficiency, dynamics and sound quality in ways older designs never could. I've never heard a Kilipsch that didn't sound ragged, even with the mellowest tube amps. ATCs are great, but there's simply no way a single ... |
