| Altec Lansing A7's 50's model They can sound great with string quartet given SET amps or low wattage quality Push Pull. I've even driven mine with a 50 watt Accuphase with astounding results. Yes, to much power and mediocre electronics can make them honk, but this is not a tra... | |
| Richter's Well Tempered Clavier Oh, forgot to mention Kenneth Gilbert's recording on Archiv, a beautiful interpretation. Quite elegant and a fiery sort of poise when called to task. | |
| Richter's Well Tempered Clavier If Richter is your first choice search out LP's. But honestly if you want a fine recording and performance I suggest you look elsewhere. Even Ralph Kirkpatrick's recording on DG would be a better choice, though the recording is close miked. If it ... | |
| Great old speakers that are as good as new ones Classic Altec A7 | |
| Altec Lansing A7's 50's model I own a pair of A-7's since last fall and love them. I have run them with 3/4 of a watt and 75 watts. Depending on your room size and listening habits I recommend caution in terms of power, especially if they are 16 0hm like mine. 75 watts was a p... | |
| Square peg round hole? Cowmoozik, I've been driving Maggie 1.6 QR speakers with BC2s for the last few months and they drive a very difficult load between 1.8 - 4 ohm. Some people including Gilbert Yeung I believe have run them with Martin Logan CLS speakers. Anyhow, the... | |

| Unipivot vs Linear Tracking BTW, that Cartridge Man Conductor LT looks to bebeautifully engineered, must sound great. | |
| Unipivot vs Linear Tracking Incidentally, I have thought about using an LT with the Scheu Premier. Any recommendations? Naturally, I would have to make separate base, can this work?. LT arms to consider, Air Tangent, ET 2, Clearaudio and Airtech MG-1.Quote fromCjfrbwI spent ... | |
| Unipivot vs Linear Tracking Darkmoebius, I must admit the Scheu Classic arm was a lot of work to setup and it sounds wonderful on the Scheu Premier. For now I can sit back and enjoy the music with no fuss to tweaking the arm until I decide to change cartridge. Which incident... | |
| Unipivot vs Linear Tracking Now how about the Schroder, Graham, Breuer or Yorke ? Are these competitive with the ET II, Clearaudio TQ-1,Goldmund and perhaps further up the Linear chain? I've heard the top line Clearaudio, ET 2 and a Schroder at RMAF. Have not had one of thes... | |
