| Is Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF) sexist? I consider myself “woke” although I am not sure what all that entails.If it suggests being considerate and kind, that is me. I rely on my female partner for her perspective and sensitivity. Not exclusively Female traits, her point of view is diffe... | |
| Seas Excel Diamond tweeter or Plasma? I love my Tetra 606s. But I am giving my perspective on this design from a marketing point of view. This is not necessarily a speaker for me to replace my 606s but a commercial product. The 606s are $33k, his 707s are $78k and the piano enclosure ... | |
| Seas Excel Diamond tweeter or Plasma? The little I have heard about the Seas Excel is that there is none better.A least it seems that it may be the hardest material in a dome. So the fastest? And the back is sealed and in a diamond cut... kind of. It looks very cool and the front as w... | |
| New Turntable Direction +1 for a refirbed Garrard 301/401. Ever since I heard that late legendary record company owner/producer Winston Ma used his 301 as the source for one of his great Gold Label CDs, I have been searching for a good rebuilt 301. Finally found a great ... | |
| Seas Excel Diamond tweeter or Plasma? Thanks for the post. I actually already own my designer’s former top line speaker (Tetra 606) that has the Mundorf dipole AMT in a rear horn configuration. For sure they disappear and create exceptional “sound”. We are hoping to make something tha... | |

| Phono Preamp. With transformer or fully active Hi Jeff,I can’t answer your question directly but have decided on a Zesto Andros Deluxe that uses 4 internal step up transformers for the MC stage. I don’t yet have my Zesto but have well heard the original Andros at RMAF. It uses two transformers... | |
| Record Cleaning Machines It is also quite quiet! | |
| Record Cleaning Machines I have ordered a Keith Monks RCM. It may be the only machine that thoroughly removes most dirty fluid. I am convinced it is the current state of the art. | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? There are none so blind as those who will not see/hear. | |
| Putting weights on speakers? Up date,I took 20 lbs off each speaker leaving 33 lbs on each. The bass is more complex and still tightened. Works better with less weight.The extra 20 lbs deadened the bass too much! | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? “Continue to beat the drum... why?” To paraphrase. It is, obviously, a controversy. The prejudice surely goes both ways. However, those who are opposed to expensive cables ignore the fact that cables are an established part of our Industry. A dire... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? @kennycThank you for coming back to the subject of the OP.And, especially, for your clear enumeration of the factors that must be considered in cable design. Certainly each different type of component always has distinct and important factors that... |
