| Hesitant to upgrade my phono cartridge I share pindac's high regard for the Ortofon Cadenza Bronze. I use a Cadenza Bronze on my Clearaudio Performance DC Wood with the Tracer tonearm, and I find the combination to be very realistic, warm, immediate and engrossing. | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll I have no intention of getting rid of the two class A stereo amps I use in my triamplified DIY fully horn loaded system because of the anthropogenic global warming scam. | |
| New Grandinote Mach 9 Loudspeakers: Holy Grail ?! Like shinjitsuaudio I am quite curious about how they protect the tweeters without a crossover network or at least a capacitor. | |
| Counter weights on your turntable...another dirty little secret? fuzztone wrote, "If you can't setup your own TT you have NO business owning one." What as piece of bloviated bullshit. I am blind in one eye and my sighted eye has required retina surgery inside the eyeball twice in the last seven years to retai... | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? In the summer of 1972 my wife and I bought a new Mac 2105 amp and a used MX110 pre amp/ tuner. The MC 2105 is still in the family. It plays in the basement party room at my son's house. It has never needed repairs. I imagine it very much needs... | |
| Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps For nearly forty years my system used tubes of various sorts. About 2016 or so I was using two pair of Cary Audio 2a3 SET monoblocks to amplify the midrange and super tweeter horn drivers in my triamplified fully horn loaded DIY speakers. Then I... | |
| Room correction room system vs ears…. I am a devotee of high quality DSP room correction. I have done some room treatment, heavy curtains behind the speakers, overstuffed furniture, etc., but my system didn't come into focus until I had programmed my DEQX DSP room correction and repr... | |
| Time-Phase-Alignment- Point Source-Classical Musicians I feel that I get very good results using my DEQX HD4 DSP to time and phase align my triamplified fully horn loaded DIY speakerts. | |
| Pass labs upgrade path Welcome back Miller Carbon. I very often disagree with you, but I really enjoy your posts. | |
| New Dennis Had amps Mr. Had's amp work sounds much like Nelson Pass with First Watt amps. Coincidentally I replaced Had designed Cary Audio 2a3 SET monoblocks with First Watt F3s. I feel that wrought a nice improvement in SQ with the midrange and super tweeter driv... | |
| First Watt SIT3 vs Dynakit ST35 I agree with the OP about First Watt F3s. They are splendid amps for those of us with very efficient speakers. I use two F3s to power the midrange and super tweeter horns of my DIY fully horn loaded triamplified speakers. The F3s replaced Cary ... | |
| Mcintosh amplifiers and preamps In 1972 my wife and I bought a Mac 2105 power amp. It has never been repaired or refurbished. It is still playing in my son's basement party room. For half a century it has played music every time it is turned on. I imagine it is in great nee... | |
| Ultrasonic record cleaners I use a Degritter ultra Sonic record cleaning machine, and I find it to be very effective with older LPs, and it is very easy to use. I have hundreds of older LPs I "inherited" from various people when folks were discarding their LPs in favor of ... | |
| Clearaudio Concept and Audio Technica AT6006R tonearm lifter??? Very neat installation. It looks like it came from the factory that way. I have the Clearaudio Performance DC Wood with the Tracer tonearm. The arrangement where the tone arm post meets the plinth is quite different from your Concept. I haven'... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? inna wrote: "Bass gives a foundation. This is a very big disadvantage of high efficiency design. " I respectfully beg to differ. My fully horn loaded DIY speakers have a measured output at 25 Hz that is identical to the 1kHz reference. Ther... |
