| Tonearm microphonics I'd think this would be undesirable. While the turntable is playing music, sound waves are constantly "tapping" the tone arm. Sure, it's at a microscopic level, but when you are talking about high end sound and the precision involved in playing ... | |
| Best small used monitors under $1000 Although I'm a single driver guy, I do have a second system where I'm constantly fooling around with more conventional setups using small speakers.My current favorites are Amphion Heliums. I've had many of the suggested speakers on this thread (P... | |
| Decware Mini Torii 2011 vs Audion Silver Night I'd be cautious in getting the Mini Torri before listening to one. I've heard and own a number of Decware amps, and the Mini Torri is very unique in its sound compared to the rest of the lineup. If you are interested in a Decware amp, call up St... | |
| Tekton room at the Los Angles Audio Show. There was a report on another forum of someone who heard the Tektons at the show. He wasn't impressed and figured it was a bad setup. Must not have been a good room for that speaker. | |
| Best imaging up to 3k used? Omegas excel at everything you are looking for. | |
| Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system? Anything from Omega, some of the smaller Tektons, Blumensteins, Decware or anything else with similar efficiency ratings. | |
| Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system? A nice SET and high efficiency speakers are perfect for apartment listening. All the details are there at lower volume settings, no need to keep turning it up. | |
| Need help ... Before you start spending money, make sure your set up and room are optimized. If these are bad, you will just be throwing money away. | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? I've got some Fleawatt amps as well as an APPJ. Both are great values. I prefer the APPJ, but I'm a tube guy. The Fleawatt is more versatile and has a nice clean punchy sound. Basically the differences between the two is classic tube vs solid ... | |
| “Invest” in Tekton? My experience with Tekton was similar to that of Stereo 5's. I'd heard so much hype about the Lores and Mini Lores. I finally had a chance to hear the Mini Lore. I don't know if my expectations were too high, but I walked away wondering what al... | |
| “Invest” in Tekton? FWIW, there was a user on another forum who bought the Impacts based on all the hype, but ended up sending them back. He preferred his Acoustic Zen Adagios. | |
| Amp current - how much high current to go for Some of Nelson Pass's amps do not increase power into lower impedance loads. I don't think anyone would say they are poor designs. | |
| Small room electrostat/ planar speaker? I'll also recommend a single driver near field set up. In my room which is almost identical to the OP's, this approach has been a godsend. I had Kef LS50's and Harbeth P3ESR's in the room before I switched to Omega Single Drivers and low powered... | |
| I've decided to try Tubes Another recommendation for Quicksilver. Point to point wiring, no circuit boards, big transformers. | |
| Full range speaker/high power amp I had some Pensils for awhile and actually felt that they sounded better with higher powered amps vs. the low wattage SET's that I tried them with. |
