| Linn Basik LVX vs. Rega RB 303 Viridian:I've thought of keeping my eyes open for a used Ittok. The advantage would be that I already have a Linn arm board on the SOTA Sapphire so I save the cost of a new arm board from SOTA if I stick with a Linn arm.Yogiboy:Just curiosity. I'v... | |
| Talkin' 'bout my De Capo's Simao,Yes, I did. | |
| Linn Basik LVX vs. Rega RB 303 Lowrider,Thanks for the feedback. The SOTA folks make mounting arm boards precut for a variety of brands. I haven't yet checked but I have to believe that Rega is one of them. | |
| Talkin' 'bout my De Capo's Grinnell,Mine came with the Lens, so I've never heard them without. I can testify, however, that the BE tweet is a major upgrade. | |
| Reference 3A line updated Brownsfan,So glad to hear you like yours, too! | |
| Good speakers to be placed close to rear wall You might also check out (the clue) by Sjofn Hifi. Great reviews, relatively inexpensive and (so they say) bass and imaging to die for. And they are designed to sit within 2" of the wall behind them! | |
| Speaker imaging What Roy Johnson said. I don't know about the psychoacoustics piece, but things definitely seem to sound better and more dimensional with my glasses off. I also suspect that -- being REALLY nearsighted -- not being able to see my rig as clearly he... | |
| To Vandersteen or not to Vandersteen BTW, I have De Capo's now! :-) | |
| To Vandersteen or not to Vandersteen I had the original 2C way back in the mid-1980's and listened to them for many years. Don't think I could live with them now, although in fairness, I've never heard the newest models and there have been many upgrades since then! As others have sta... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? 2006 posts on this thread and growing. Wow! :-) | |
| What is Imaging? I know that some people disparage the value of imaging because you don't get imaging and sound staging effects at a live concert. But if the recording engineer deliberately manipulated or recorded or mixed the music so to create a sense of locatio... | |
| Soundstaging test tracks: Height Phasecorrect: What a fun thread! I'll try to think of some others. | |
| Soundstaging test tracks: Height "Summer's Cauldron" by XTC on their "Skylarking" album. Synthesized bird tweets come from way above the right speaker. Also, the opening bars of the title track of Sade's "Soldier of Love" CD. There is a piano figure that comes up to the ceiling! | |
| New reference 3a decapo i with Beryllium tweeter. Tubeears:Yikes!! ItÂ’s not that hard to replace the tweets, but it does get a bit tricky in spots. Here's what I learned the hard way, for the public record. First, you need to get a good quality Phillips head screw driver that is an exact match fo... | |
| Merlin TSM-MMM vs Adam Acoustics Compact MK 3 You may or may not care for Merlin's product, but I wouldn't be one to question Bobby's integrity or intentions. He is passionate about making a great product and puts a lot of love into every speaker that goes out the door. |
