| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Drummermitchel, did you mean to say "our living room is NOT really big(11X12)"?Your post is a bit confusing. You reference buying a 900 sq. ft. home, then you say "So I have been buying gear suited more for a bigger room."Now if you are happy with... | |
| My dunlavy scV sound harsh Let's begin at square one. Is this a recent problem or has it existed since this particular set of components were connected together? More information is needed before assuming a new preamp is needed or the speakers need to be relocated.1. If the... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Raul, from my earlier post, you know I agree with the benefits of subwoofer(s) to both extend low frequency response and reduce distortion on speakers and amps for the upper bass and midrange.But I have a question for which I wonder if your experi... | |
| Speaker/Equipment Placement Two considerations - effect on the speakers and effect on the components.As noted, to "optimize" your sonics, you may want to avoid placing components in the middle between your speakers. This is more important if you include any video device (yes... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Hi Raul, I'm late arriving at this party and have not read through all seven pages of discussion. Therefore, forgive me if I repeat something already covered, but I'll throw out a couple of thoughts into the mix.First, I've been told that the mid-... | |
| Tripods as turntable or component base? Tripod stability as an urban legend?I've always wondered whenever I read the suggestion that a three leg support is more stable than four. Do these proponents think it is impossible for a tricycle to tip over? True that a tripod with three legs sp... | |
| what is the rule of thirds? I believe the former editor of TAS likes to take credit for identifying this concept but I think it has been known for some time, he was just the first one to publicize it. Other odd dimension fractions have been recommended as well - 1/5, 1/7, et... | |
| VPI 16.5 Problem One other tip, while you're at it. The vacuum tube can be adjusted and the slot should not point straight down (180 degree position). Per instructions I received from VPI, it should be at the 185 degree position when viewed from the spindle. Thus ... | |
| Shipping Dunlavy SC 3's Judsauce, if A-V Logic can't help, I would think your moving company could pack them adequately. I have a pair of Duntech Princess that weigh 180 pounds each. They were flown to the US from Oz in cardboard boxes, strapped to a wood pallet and came... | |
| Technics SP-10 TT motor capacitors? Some references on questions ask here:Raul, I've wondered too about the potential for "improved" performance with tt parts replacement versus piece of mind from eliminating old parts. Albert Porter who is well known on A'gon for his rebuild of his... | |
| Technics SP-10 TT motor capacitors? Hi Strathorncat:I'm just about to order the eight electrolytics for the power supply with my SP-10 Mk2A. What brand did you use and did you have any problems with size fitting the board?I assume you have the Service Manual for your Mk2. If not, yo... | |
| any mono folks out there? Norman, this link should get you started in learning more about EQ. Look for additional links at the bottom for reference by label.http://geocities.com/[email protected]/mixphono.htmIf this is not enough, Google a few search words. The net c... | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility Hi Thom:Of course I realize the headshell slots allow for offset adjustments as well as overhang. To simplify the argument (which seems to have become complex enough on its own!), I was focusing only on the overhang as it relates to individual car... | |
| any mono folks out there? In addition to Hevac1's point on styli size, here is another worry for '50s jazz (or other types). While the RIAA curve was approved around 1955, it was not implemented by all labels for another ten years or more. Therefore, some means of adjustab... | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility With such knowledgeable folks as Raul and Thom attempting to carry the flag of reason, I'm a little hesitant to join the march. But I'll go ahead and step in line anyway.Feathed stated "I on the other hand believe the presence of a slotted headshe... |
