| How to measure crosstalk A different question for Doug and others who set azimuth by ear - can this be done by one person while listening off center? My tt is on a side wall, well outside the nearest speaker. I've never tried listening to a test tone for azimuth since it ... | |
| How to measure crosstalk Sorry guys, you've confused me.Dougdeacon calls for a notch filter above/below the test tone.Restock agrees, but suggests a 1KHz bandpass filter.I'm showing my electronics ignorance here but what filtering point(s) is/are needed for a 1K test tone... | |
| Potential new room, will this work well? Chadnliz, pay attention to Jkalman's advice. If you shorten the 40' dimension by 8', you end up with 32', depending on exact wall placement. Then you would have dimensions of 32 and 24, all divisible by 2, 4, and 8. This would not be good for mode... | |
| Reviews for Electron Kinetics Eagle 7A & 2000 amps Rkmcv, the Eagle 400s have a reputation as some of the best bass amps ever. If you bi-amp using your 7a on the woofers (with your 400s on the mid/tweeters?) please give us feedback with your results. | |
| 12 inch tonearms Tbg, I don't think you read Rgordonpf's post very carefully. He offered good comments on four different arms based on personal use. He pointed out one (the VPI) was particularly useful for anyone making frequent cartridge changes because ONCE the ... | |
| How to change vacuum tubes on the VPI 16.5 ? OK, I have a 16.5 and I also misunderstood the headline. I started thinking an EL-34 might be about the right size, then . . .Serious advice on removal will not be repeated here. However, one caution is to adjust the replacement suction tube so th... | |
| re: phono preamps; is vintage ss any good? Mcpody, no. My FET-10 is the only Threshold phono stage I have experience with. A friend built a fully regulated power supply for me and that takes performance up a step - I assume similar to the later version of the FET-10. I was told the differe... | |
| re: phono preamps; is vintage ss any good? Take this for whatever it might be worth. I agree with Mcpody to add Threshold to your list of candidates. I have a FET-10 which I took to a phono stage shoot-out at a friend's house. The benchmark was a Manley Steelhead. Out of six audiophiles pr... | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik Maxson, your reference is missing. Can you repost? | |
| Best place to demo small room setup in LA/SD metro In San Diego area, check with Stereo Unlimited and Blackbird Audio.Are you a fan of Zappa and Beefheart? | |
| Best vintage Marantz receivers? I bought a Marantz 27 new in fall of 1970 and it was a Superscope product. Don't know when they bought out Marantz brand but someone made design decisions that greatly downgraded the product. Very disappointing performance but I believe most if no... | |
| Excellent turntables with threaded spindles ? Add the Kuzma Stabi to those tables with threaded clamps.Edle, if your theory of vibration transmission with threaded clamps is true (and it may be per Dougdeacon's observation), why would it not also apply to clamps which grip the spindle in some... | |
| VPI 10.5i tonearm and VTA Have you ask VPI your question? Try Mike at [email protected] luck. | |
| Exotic turntables. Eye candy Albert and Genesis:I have a couple of questions regarding SP-10 plinths. I have been doing research prior to building a plinth for my SP-10 Mk2A.My first question is why would a SP-10 need a dense and heavy (massive) wooden plinth? So far as I kno... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Audiofeil, the Edsel failed because of lack of market acceptance, the Corvair failed because of management ineptness. Anyway, your analogy for the Essential is pretty silly.Have you seen or heard the Essential 3150? I have and while I believe Raul... |
