| MM vs. MC: What Happens When People Jump Into MC Too Early? Iprefer not to name him but I know a respected turntable manufacturer who has access to 2nd generation master tapes and can compare them to LPs. And year after year he has told me the Shure V15-5 MR is the most accurate cartridge meaning makes a r... | |
| Does the Devore Fidelity Orangutan 0/96 speaker play rich and full bodied at 50 Decibels The problem at 50dB is not the speaker but the human ear. The sensitivity of the ear varies with volume and treble and especially bass are way down relative to mids at low level. Flat response comes around 100 dB(too damn loud) and at low levels b... | |
| Amir of ASR admitted 1 cable sounded better than the other. NOT CLICKBAIT I have to believe if 2 electrical output signals are the same then they should have no affect on the sound. The problem, I believe is, that we only measure some factors of our gear and there is more going on. If we knew all factors and we measured... | |
| Should Room Acoustics be an Audiogon ‘topic’? OF COURSE!!! It affects the sound of the system which is what we are trying to make as good as possible. Indeed it's part of the system whether you like it or not. | |
| CH Precision electronics inna, your statement about tubes(which I also like when used properly) is a religious statement, unless you can supply some reasonable proof for it. | |
| The “Off The Shelf” Lie A few manufacturers make their own drivers(exp ATC). Some have drivers custom made for them(exp Wilson). Most buy from OEM manufacturers such as SEAS, Scanspeak, etc. who make superb drivers but then their crossovers and enclosures are limited by ... | |
| Getting what I paid for - gut check please! I'm iffy on the face plate although my gut says they should exchange it for no charge. But a warranty is ALWAYS from the date of sale for a new unit unless there is an agreement otherwise. | |
| Which component(s) benifit the most from isolation? I have an isolation device called Pontoons, special plastic horizontal cylinders with supporting cups(3 per item). I began with a CD drive(I have an external DAC) and the change(for the better) was as if I bought another, better, CD drive for much... | |
| How do small woofers produce large bass? The comments about moving air and needing more excursion from a smaller woofer are correct. And excursion almost always leads to higher distortion. That makes the new Purifi drivers very interesting. They have long excursion and maintain low disto... | |
| Maybe Leaving SET for Solid State because I want bass Tough question. The main problem with bass with tube amps, push/pull and especially SET is their high output impedance. Low output impedance helps control woofers. And the problem with output impedance is the output transformer. The tube amps I kn... | |
| Garrard 401 or Thorens 125 I wonder if you don't mean the Thorens 124, not the Thorens 125 which is an electronically controlled belt drive. The Thorens 124 uses an idler wheel like the Garrard to drive the platter. | |
| Audio Technica VMN760xSL Reveiw Comparing MM to MC cartridges and ultimate performance makes no sense. It is assumed MCs are superior. And the most costly cartridges are all MC(except the DS Audios). Who has tried to make a super MM, a $15,000 dollar one. Until someone does how ... | |
| Why not acoustic suspension? Magico speakers are closed box. I'm not sure if they are acoustic suspension although I think they claim it. But I suspect they are not. Sonically, you can tune any closed box to a given transfer function, closed box or acoustic suspension. The a... | |
| Why not acoustic suspension? Hi Erik. I've cited this before. The most famous small closed box speaker is the BBC LS3/5a and it is NOT acoustic suspension. Acoustic suspension speakers tend to be small because it does relate to how they work but small doesn't mean acoustic su... | |
| Why not acoustic suspension? Yes the air in a closed box affects the driver suspension. But it's only acoustic suspension if the air is more significant than the spider. When Edgar Vilchur designed his prototype he used a regular driver but cut away most of the spider so it n... |
