USA Distributor List Re comments above about the drive unit. The Purifi drive unit is a fairly recent development - and the crinkly surround is a major part of the design. Thrax aso use it and I expect you will see it becoming a lot more common. | |
soft dome versus hard dome tweeters Both metal and soft dome tweeters have improved over the years. But loudspeaker design, possibly more than any other aspect of hi fi, is about system performance. As an example, the Focal inverted dome titanium tweeter sounds radically different i... | |
Does anyone listen to the radio anymore? My Meridian tuner just died, but I am still listening to on my Tivoli radio which, stupid volume taper aside, still sounds great. I listen to the radio with my wife while having dinner - same show Monday to Friday. About five years ago, I stopped ... | |
Class A bias, speaker sensitivity, watts...? @OP Re Boomerbillone's post. It is a little misleading to tie references to distortion to the output devices. Class A operation avoids crossover distortion. However, amplifier distortion is influenced by a whole host of factors so you can still ha... | |
Linn LP12 turntable @ghdprentice, for absolute clarity, I was referring to Sony in terms of the sensors (also used b Leica) rather than Sony's cameras. But I stand by saying that the Zeiss Otus's will stand up against any 35mm lens and give top MF lenses a good run f... | |
Linn LP12 turntable @ghd prentice.Have you tried a Zeiss Otus on a Nikon with the Sony 45mp Sensor?. There are more roads to Rome than Leica. | |
Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover) For anyone interested in cover art, I can highly recommend Aubrey Powell of Hipgnosis's compendium of their work - fabulous artwork and a great read as well. | |
Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers @OP. You shouldn't be having imaging issues with your Harbeths. So the issue there is either setup/room and or ancillary equipment. The Harbeth's are tonally refined, which some people would characterise as laid back. But driven by a more dynamic ... | |
Linn LP12 turntable Hi @allesandrocat. I'm delighted you have found a TT you love. If you like the SME 10 then you would be well served by an SME 20 or 30, or, depending on the age of your SME 10, one of the newer power supplies. Regards Y | |
Linn LP12 turntable @richardbrand. I've been involved in the industry since the late seventies, so I'm pretty conversant with the history. | |
Linn LP12 turntable @richardbrand. I'm not that far from Glasgow. But glad to know that Scotch is cheap down under - it certainly isn't in my neck of the woods - proving your scotch theory :)) @ alessandrocat - SME and Linn's turntables are the proverbial chalk and ... | |
Linn LP12 turntable @Richardbrand - having serviced many Linn LP 12's, I never came across a case of a turntable being returned to the factory. Anyway, to be fair to the LP12, the only things that ever breaks in them is the electronics and, very very rarely, the moto... | |
Linn LP12 turntable @mylogic - re your question, IMO it's not in Linn's interest to produce a ground up new turntable design for two reasons: One, because, as demonstrated by this thread, the upgradeability is a major selling point. Secondly, from the time that Lin... | |
Linn LP12 turntable @mylogic - they built a lot of beautiful ships in Glasgow but, I suppose riveting large sheets of steel together is somewhat different to building a tonearm. @daveyf - yes, on one level an LP12s ability to be upgraded is a plus, but a lot of the ... | |
Linn LP12 turntable @Davey F. Interesting - thanks! Martin Colloms always maintained that different aspects of the LP 12'ss design, while perhaps questionable in themselves, were effective in terms of overall system synergy. Perhaps the same is true of the Ittok/LP 1... |
