LCR phono stages we know about
Just wanted to report back to say I finally received my Ampearl RE2030 LCR phono. The shipping took nearly 2 months to get here but after a couple weeks in my system it sounds very nice and it is very quiet as well. Quite a surprise for $800. I up...

I had an opportunity to hear the Spatial M-5 recently. I wouldn't consider the room ideal for them, but they impressed me quite a bit nonetheless. Associate equipment was a Pass Labs amp, PS Audio BHK preamp, Spiral Groove turntable, and MSB digit...

@audiokinesis, and from a documentary I just watched, moving up the chain, it appears Geddy Lee’s inspiration is Jaco Pastorius.

I have Roger's personal ESLs and direct drive amp and they are quite good, but I think the ESLs fall off a bit due to their size. It suited Roger's tastes and mine for the most part, but they don't sound as big as my Acoustat Model 2 or Analysis A...

The really nice thing about it for Linkwitz owners is that you can run the various EQ simulations through the ASP just as you would in the miniDSP that comes with the speakers. Requires a bit more work but for an analog crossover it would be worth...

Have you heard or do you know of anyone who have combined a non ported sub with two or more dipole design subs? If I build one folded dipole, I am certainly doing two at the same time.@rixthetrick, I currently use a DBA I set up with 8 sealed su...

@rushbutton, totally agree with active crossovers. Doubt I will ever go back to passive.

Yes you can buy the sub cabinet separately, $300 per pair and free shipping.

Yes I have been watching some of the tech talk videos and decided to try using an OB sub but I decided against the GR model due to having to use the dedicated servo amps. I prefer to work with what I already have on hand and purchased the OB cabin...

@bdp24 While Roger did not like to use bass traps or other acoustic treatments he did understand the benefit of and how to get multiple subs to work well in a room. I had heard of the concept of the distributed bass array through Duke Lejuene of A...

@bdp24 he most certainly was aware of room nodes, he just believed there was a better way of dealing with them than using bass traps.
