| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Soundsbeyondspecs, I think that speakers and electronics cause great variation in how limited the "sweet spot" is. My quest is a very wide, deep, and high the sound stage is as well as how precise. Doing what you need to do would mean that I have ... | |
| Stillpoint Ultras anyone? Gbmcleod, the magic of great realism in sound production is quite fragile as you suggest. However, it includes many things you don't mention such as the speakers, your position, whether the power cords are on the floor, whether the speaker wires a... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Roxy54, I want to try them and possibly to review them. I have had people I respect say they are better than the StillPoints, but I will be surprised if they do. | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Glory, I have sought Sistrum stands and their new BackStage stands to no avail. Other than that IMHO no other isolation device is even close to the StillPoints. I have boxes of points, rubber like footers, string suspension systems, Nuance shelves... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers I have tried StillPoints Ultra SSs and Ultra Fives under three different speakers and often tried three versus four. The speakers were the Tidal Contrivas, the BMC Arcadias, and the LSA1 Statements. The latter are monitors and the SPs were used un... | |
| acoustic system resonators Maximus_lt, Virtual Dynamics is now High Fidelity Cables http://www.highfidelitycables.com/reviews.htmlI have no idea whether they continue to have the test data you seek. | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Rauliruegas, I am all for measurements if they measure something of value. As I said in my post above, I am more concern with the stylus drag on the speed of the turntable than whether it is at an accurate 33 1/3 rpm. Often if the torque of the mo... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Lewm, as I understand it, idler-wheel turntables is withstanding the slow ups of dynamic passages. So the EMT has that going for it. But the mass of the platter also helps greatly thanks to inertia. Also the friction of the idler-wheel is importan... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? I suspect you are talking about speed accuracy relative to the desired rpms, but what about the drag of the stylus in the vinyl groove? | |
| Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers? Melbguy1, the Stillpoint ultra base add nothing to the performance of the Ultras other than height adjustment. One thing that I have learned is that there is no such thing as too much isolation with StillPoints products. I know a guy with 92 Ultra... | |
| Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers? Melbguy1, buy two more SP Ultra Fives and compare four of them with three of them. One warning is be certain that all four are in contact between the speakers and the floor. You will keep eight rather than six. Yes, five are even better. Incidenta... | |
| Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers? Geraldbarry & Richards, initially I used four SP Ultra SSs under my Tidal speakers. I was amazed at the benefit. Shortly thereafter I heard a demonstration of the SSs versus the Ultra Fives and bought 8 on the spot. They are at least five time... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Halcro, I got in touch with Tommy. He still likes the Victor but says parts just cannot be found. I think I will probably just stick with my Nantais Lenco. Thanks for the information, however. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Ronniec15, I too had a pair and really think they were great, but, of course, Appogee moved on. I sold mine to a guy in Houston and lost contact with him. They were among my many different speakers as I switched between horns, ribbons, dynamic dri... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Halcro, is TopClass Audio in Hong Kong? |
