MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY?
lewm, for several years now I've used a JLTi phono stage which was designed, at least in part, by Allen Wright.  Mine is an earlier unit, intended for use with a wall wart.  However, a (more knowledgable) audio pal built a regulated power supply f... 
Wonder product?
Thanks for the replies. I called it a wonder product not second-guessing the audio quality but because both units seem so versatile.  I'm truing to imagine how it adjusts azimuth for example.  It can't be a matter of gain between channels since a... 
Ohm Speakers Status Update
@oldaudiophile, a parallel universe story. My sister had a pair of Ohm bookshelf speakers (Cs or Ds) from her first marriage.  Her new husband had Bose 901s.  I helped install them in the rec room and living room respectively.  My brother-in-law ... 
Devore 093 compared to o96
I’m giving consideration to DeVore speakers so appreciating comments here. It led me to the Prof’s long post and the Stereophile reviews.. It seems listening distance can be critical with both the O/93 and O/96. Perhaps that is the problem Herb f...

Oh no Raul, a new subject to argue over debate.  Should we listen with our eyes closed or open? ;^)  
Is the Townshend Rock 7 "the" giant killer?
I can't say the year but I met an English gentleman at an audio show who recently relocated to the US as the rep for Townshend Audio.  I was impressed by the Rock III he demoed and attempted to order one.  But there were production delays and I ne...

@rauliruegas, thanks for the kind words and memories.  Your visit was a wonderful leaning experience and meeting you was a pleasure. However I must make a correction, My Duntech speakers were Princesses.  The Sovereigns were much too large for my...

@lewm, you said in a few words what I attempted with many.  
MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY?
@rauliruegas , good to see you continuing the good fight in the audio wars my friend.  I'm a few days late in discovering this post. Regarding a "true" answer, I don't believe that will ever be possible.  As you pointed out there are too many var... 
Records not stored vertically for decades
soix, I've seen many cautions against horizontal stacking but never read any specific reports of damage when doing that.  I assume it relates to flatness since humidity or mold could be a problem when stored at any angle. Apparently your turntabl... 
Any normal size speakers that sound like Volti
@acman3, no update on the potential new room so some thoughts. 1.  Have a frank discussion with your wife about her objections.  As others suggested is it the size of the speakers or actually all the components in the living room? 2.  If truly t... 
Help with Dunlavy SC-IV signature
Duntech/DAL crossovers -  The crossover board on my Duntech Princess was accessed by a removable panel on the back of the cabinet.  Once opened the board could be slid out since mounted on drawer rollers. A friend of mine with design background w... 
Help with Dunlavy SC-IV signature
@cerberus79,  good that you got to the bottom of the problem, even after no longer owning the speakers. I enjoyed a pair of Duntech Princess speakers for 19 years and would like to clarify a few points here. John Dunlavy began his speaker busine... 
Dunlavy SC-IV vs Duntech Princess
Hi grumpybb, Fun moniker by the way. Since I'm the only one who replied, you comments must be directed to me.  Notice I said "less expensive drivers" and did not suggest any exotic example comparison.  My Duntechs had Dynaudio and Scanspeak driv... 
SL1200G - Tonearm shape from side question for owners
@chriscox000, I never noticed any irregularity with mine, but you made me double check.  I don't see any downward curve. I do agree it sounds great, even with my current modest Shure V15 4 with SAS stylus. You should still take a photo with a st...
