| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Well Twl, then you know what the next step is - design and market the commercial version of it! Let me see how it's coming along during the prototype stages if you're going to be looking for investors...(Come to think of it, if you weren't thinkin... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Yes V., I realize that. Still think you'd hear the warp before the change, though, and besides, any heightened tracking ability would tend to make up for this shortcoming in my estimation, but I guess the best solution is not to have warped record... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Well, Asa, I guess there's no denying that some of our brains 'Do It' more than others...(Geez, this is beginning to resemble a Nike ad!)To paraphrase the late Dr. Bronner (one of the only lunatic philosophers I actually have a *practical* use for... | |
| The Best Amplifier Ever ? Alright, I'm game: I hereby nominate my 1964 Fender Super Reverb (tho' my '61 Ampeg Reverberocket *is* very, very special...) | |
| What is the most difficult component to upgrade At least with a preamp, there are ways of acertaining just what it is doing in your system, if you can directly plug one of your sources into your power amp (don't try this before you have an idea how loud any particular recording will play in you... | |
| An unscientific poll: How often are you happy? Thanks for the input, gents, glad to see this thread revived (Detlof sez, Let's see how long it lasts!).RC, is it your system you wind up enjoying a little less, or maybe your recordings? Does the difference matter? Should it?As for me, both my ro... | |
| Anyone hear Thiel CS1.6? I haven't heard the Arro's, so this is strictly a guess, but a woofer that small in a cabinet that small couldn't possibly really have more bottom end (and the reviews I remember reading of it - which were positive - unsurprisingly acknowledged it... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Yeah, Viridian, I had wondered before about the angle issue with the Dynavector design, though I hadn't considered a potential resonance problem. I came to the conclusion that the VTA change is probably of no real consequence on a good condition, ... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Rather than just reacting with "What a load" after reading Asa's post (no offense intended, Asa, but I do not buy your premises, inductions, or conclusions - sorry!), I thought, "I should instead try to think of something within it, or suggested b... | |
| Anyone hear Thiel CS1.6? Not quite sure what the first response is supposed to indicate, but it doesn't exactly sound like a ringing endorsement, so let me try.Properly set up Thiels are not bright - this is a myth, in my opinion, dating to back to older Thiel models, and... | |
| What could be instead of side walls? You are perfectly correct as far as that goes, Cdc - and that's just the problem, when it comes to springy suspended wooden floors. Many speaker manufactures will specify in their owner's manuals that the spikes should be omitted in cases like thi... | |
| TV picture issue, anyone? At this point, although the problem is still in evidence, unless I'm seeing things, it does seem to have somewhat ameliorated itself as I've used the set over the past few days, looking less pronounced than when it was just out of the box. Do TVs ... | |
| Review: Purist Audio Design Proteus Interconnect Glad everything has worked out for the best. Has Albert received his check from PAD yet? | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Unsound, virtually any PA system anyone in this country would have heard a live event amplified through in the last 30+ years would be solid state (this, BTW, has almost nothing to do with sound per se, and everything to do with lightweight, cool-... | |
| Speaker priority: high or low??? Hey, I've got a topic for debate - How many audiophiles does it take to screw a 'question' into the ground? |
