| Di I really need to clean my LP's? mc, no offense but if you don't understand the various reasons for record cleaning and need to ask then possibly you are one of those who dosen't need to bother. However even a simple search for record cleaning will turn up hundreds of positive r... | |
| Manly Stingray....Opinions from any owners? poke, I doubt you will be disappointed. I have a pair of Snapper mono amps and have been pleased with the performance and service by Manley. I had the chance to tour the Manley facility twice with my (then) local audio club. It was impressive w... | |
| How best to eliminate LP warps @terry9, yes something similar can work for some dished records. However I had a Kuzma table which utilized a washer (diameter no more than a quarter) and threaded clamp and I only had partial success with that. But you mention a thin beveled w... | |
| How best to eliminate LP warps Interesting post Lew. I believe I have a similar situation. With a number of records in my collection (possibly a majority?), if I watch for arm movement while playing a record I can note slight side to side or up and down movement. But I do no... | |
| Bose 901's in an acoustically treated room? cleeds, thanks for digging out that review. Anyone with interest in the 901s should find it worthwhile reading. And while it may be more complementary than my memory recalled, Holt did express several reservations. But first I would note that r... | |
| Ohm Acoustic Corp., Brooklyn NY veemike, I don't know much about Ohm production, but have you compared with any specialty/custom built product in the last year or two? Family members contracted to have a new home built last year and the string of delays and price increases has ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados acman, I'm not much of a fan of big band jazz, but Herman is one of my exceptions. I have this album and enjoy it, other than the electric piano. I know they were popular around this time but I never cared for them. Here's an earlier version of... | |
| Bose 901's in an acoustically treated room? Decades ago when J Gordon Holt was chief cook and bottle washer at Stereophile he reviewed the then-new Bose 901. Bose claimed their research showed that 89% of the sounds in a concert hall were reflected, with only 11% direct to the listener. T... | |

| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers prof, as I understand this, JSE Infinite Slope speakers was a company in Connecticut which utilized a crossover designed my Modifari. I don't believe Richard was otherwise associated with JSE. He was better known for designing tuners for McIntos... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers prof, this continues to be an interesting and informative post. So thanks for your efforts. Over a year ago you ask who is Jim Smith, but I noted no one answered that. Jim has long experience working with manufacturers, as a distributor, and as... | |
| Tekton versus Klipsch dsper, sorry, I posted the above before seeing page 2. So I didn't realize you bought the Forte IVs. I'm also interested in those so have read a bit about them. Bass response/extension seems to be somewhat of a question and placement is critica... | |
| Tekton versus Klipsch dsper, this doesn't address your Tekton/Klipsch question, but may relate to the Thiels. In my experience charles1dad is absolutely correct, "So most likely complex crossovers probably siphon off more amplifier power." For years I owned a pair of... | |
| Montreal Audio Show - anyone hear the FR30’s? aj, thanks for the video. I think with any speaker there is a "best" location. For some reason many manufacturers don’t take advantage of that. Unless the design dictates something different, many speakers will sound best when well away from the w... | |
| Using a mono speaker instead of stereo? Some years ago I read an article about small bars or tea rooms in Japan which included quality mono audio systems. Typically they had SET tube amplification with a single cabinet horn or other HE design speaker and vintage idler-drive turntables,... |
