| speakers with a "smooth" impedance curve Totem Forests are a possibility if you find their sound to your liking. I believe they don't dip below six ohms and are priced well under your $5000. mark. This will leave alot of dollars to cater to the system with cables, etc. I am getting beaut... | |
| What is a typical life span of a stylus or cartrid I don't think he is discounting the table enough for a demo price. 20% off retail might be considered typical demo price. Perhaps the low cost of this table warrants a lower discount, not sure about that. In this case I would buy new. $70.00 hardl... | |
| I HAVE A SECRET TO TEL Yes, please tell us how the Deflex is attached to your cabling. Is Deflex like the Dynamat that car stereo guys use to dampen the sheet metal of doors, floors, etc? | |
| Cary 572-3 Most I have seen were turned into 300B SE's. I believe Cary has a fixed cost for this mod. Sad that the 572-3 is no more. You can't substitute an original 572 because the pin connections are different. Have you exhausted every source for these tub... | |
| Leave tubes in phono section if not using it? I Don't know about Moscode, but I asked Cary about this on my SLP 90 preamp. The answer was, Yes, leave the tubes in place. Replace them with something less precious if they are special. Since your pre is older these days, I wouldn't take any chan... | |
| Well Tempered Ref. Arm I'm confused by your question. Is this not corrected by the azimuth adjusting knob? Are you saying that when the azimuth is correct, the paddle is not parallel? And that when the paddle is parallel, the azimuth is wrong? Remember that if you are u... | |
| Help me with OHM's law and output transformers Thank you again Al. Yes I was refering to speakers with many drivers doing the same frequencies. Something like the Pipedream speaker which looks like it has a dozen or so drivers comes to mind. If I understand you, all those drivers must be desig... | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus Whats the deal,I can't find any reference to a US distributor. No mention of this table on Stanalog's Well Tempered website. Looks like Firebaugh is back out on his own, What now is the relation to the old Well Tempered products ala Stanalog? I wa... | |
| Help me with OHM's law and output transformers Thank you for a simple and very understandable explanation! I am still confused though on the comparisons I pointed out about the Apogee speaker's voice coil compared to a multi driver cone speaker. Would you care to comment on that issue? Thanks ... | |
| Cayin CD-50T: Your favorite 12AU7 tube Don't know about your Cayin, but everything I have had with a tube shield seemed to sound better without it. The exceptions are phono preamps where the shield helps decrease noise. Is that tube mounted horizontally? Seems like it might run a bit h... | |
| Any thoughts on Nottingham/Grado combination? The Master wasn't the best choice for my Spacedeck. The less expensive Dynavector DV10X4 Gold was a better match. | |
| Preamp inverts phase question: I'm sorry, but phase really does matter and is very important. The difference is very apparent to me when using a phase inverting phono preamp. Why just assume that some recordings may be phase inverted, so it doesn't matter. You should configure ... | |
| CD's in DVD players a compromise? Thanks to all of you above for the good suggestions. Lets not stop now though, I'd like to hear as many as possible, and particularly those players that are also good value. Perhaps I was wrong to assume that good CD sound cannot come out of a DVD... | |
| funny connection of spade cables This should sound better than using any kind of "adapters" Just make sure the other half of the spade doesn't touch anything. You could put a few layers of heat shrink tubing over them, or cut them off if you don't mind compromising their resale v... | |
| which cartridge is good for Well Tempered ref TT These comments refer to a Well Tempered Super, which uses the Reference arm on the Classic table. I have used the Music Maker 111, Shure Ultra 500, Shure V15 type V MRLE, Grado Master (HO), and the Dynavector DV10X Gold (a factory tweaked version ... |
