| Near Field listening Harbeths have come up a couple of times. Which models are you speaking of? I ask because in his review of the Compact 7s, Sam Tellig said they, "didn't like to be positioned in the nearfield. give them at least 8' from your ears; anything nearer a... | |
| Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand + Bel Canto C5i vs.. Musicpod,Thanks so much for that information and for correcting my initial post. I just did some searching of Audio Asylum, where Patrick Butler of Vienna first posted about the need for sand filling. I see that he made those posts before the Gran... | |
| Woofer sucking in and out KAB sells a subsonic filter that seems to be highly regarded. I agree with Artis4n; that's probably the only way to really solve the problem, if that's what you want to do.-Bob | |
| Speakers that sound like Grado headphones? I stumbled upon this old thread after recently getting a pair of Grado SR 80 headphones. I really like their tonal balance, and I'm guessing that's what the original poster was talking about (rather than spatial presentation).I must say, though, t... | |
| Oracle Paris, 15 years old with Jelco 250ST Arm? Just to clarify, I don't believe the original arm on the Paris is exactly the same as the Jelco 250ST. For one thing, the original arm (at least on my Paris) was an Audioquest PT-5 (made, of course, by Jelco), but it had fluid damping, which I und... | |
| Oracle Paris, 15 years old with Jelco 250ST Arm? Actually, I believe that Linn arms are drop-in replacements for the old Audioquest PT series. Best to confirm that first, though.-Bob | |
| Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand + Bel Canto C5i vs.. I'm sorry I can't help with amp advice, but since your Mozarts are new, just thought I'd pass this along. A few years ago, on (I think) the Audio Asylum forum, a Vienna rep said that to achieve intended performance, the Mozarts MUST be filled with... | |
| Single driver point source speakers vs. the world? My only experience with single-driver speakers was quite enjoyable. It came at last year's Axpona show, where all day long, I had been assaulted by hyper-detailed, skreechie speakers. When I wandered into the Glow Audio room, I was quite pleasantl... | |
| How to place speakers at the optimum height You can also read John Atkinson's measurements in Stereophile, provided the speaker you're interested in has been reviewed there. He measures and discusses the vertical dispersion of speakers and usually gives you hints on optimum listening height... | |
| Damn Apple..a fence sitter's dilemma How come Internet forums are so full of abbreviations I don't understand? What's an "MBP"? Thanks.-Bob | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Fishing,Do you find the selectable oversampling and filters on the 565bee to be useful? Do you notice much of a difference with different settings? Thanks!-Bob | |
| tonearm/cartridge matching, mass/damping/tweaking Hi Mickey. Actually, I have a couple of MMTs. I'm selling one and keeping the one I have mounted on my old but trusty Oracle Paris. Both arms are pretty much identical in condition, operation, etc., but I'd been looking for an auxiliary counterwei... | |
| Replacements for Dynaudio Floorstanders I've got to go against the grain here. No amplifier change I've ever experienced comes close to effecting the degree of sonic differences that a change in speakers can make. Obviously, this is not a popular position, but I firmly believe that afte... | |
| tonearm/cartridge matching, mass/damping/tweaking I think you and I read the same forums, Mickey!-Bob | |
