| Best protractor for aligning to cantilever I recently tried buying a Wally tool. Sent him a check in November for a protractor that was in stock. He asks you to call him and remind him to ship a week later. I found that odd but did. After many weeks of calls and emails he finally called to... | |
| Galibier owners How do you like your music now? I have one of Thom's earlier designs when he and Peter Clark were partners. Thom is one of the most knowledgable people I have met regarding analog and he has been a tremedous help in improving the sound of my system. When I first visited him to h... | |
| For those using 'Holographic Mylar' as a tt drive I am using the tape that came with my TAC splicer on holographic mylar. This tape has done very good. I have had this though for 3-4 years and will soon need to buy replacement tape. I presume the tape hasn't changed but do not know for sure. | |
| Best Speaker for Wall Placement? You should check out the Guru QM10's. I heard them at RMAF and they sounded great. They are designed to be placed against the wall. | |
| Lamm ml2's amps with coaxial speakers 97db 16ohm The 97db at 16ohm spec will be a great match for the ML2's and likely a better fit than 89db at 8 ohm. Of course all depends on the speaker and listening volume you require. With my ML2's I am using Reimer Teton's at 95db and 4 ohm and the amps co... | |
| front ported speakers with ribbon tweeters? All Reimer speakers are front ported and have ribbon tweeters. | |
| Speakers placed against back wall The Guru QM10 speakers are designed to be placed up against the wall. I heard them at RMAF and they sound great. Audio Note would be another good option. | |
| Front ported speakers recommendation I heard the Guru QM10 speakers at RMAF which are around $2,000 and was blown away at how good they sound. The bass was surprisingly good given their small size and they are designed to be placed near a wall. | |
| Tube preamp suggestions. I agree with with several others here that the Lamm LL2 deluxe would be a great fit based on your priorities. I replaced a Hovland HP100 with the Lamm due to the improved bass weight and more realistic mids. It does not have the last word in resol... | |
| Could use some help, please Dave, I picked up a pair of Athena - Audition B1.2 monitor speakers new on sale at Music Direct for $120.00. These speakers perform way above their low price. I have seen these come up on Audiogon as low as around $60 per pair. There are some on-l... | |
| Speaker recommendations specifically for Lamm ML2 Streetdaddy, sounds like fun. Lets work something out in the next few weeks. | |
| Speaker recommendations specifically for Lamm ML2 I am using Reimer Tetons on my ML2's but in a much larger room. In a smaller room I would lean towards a 2-way speaker. Of course there are many out there such as the Kharma mentioned above. I am personally intrigued by the Audio Note speakers whi... | |
| How to tell if lp is recorded with phase reversed? FYI, Silent Running Audio has an Absolute Phase chart that you can download which lists the recording labels that had a tendency towards recording in phase vs inverting. This is just a guideline but may be helpful. | |
| Lamm ML2 power cords and tube rolling I am using Silent Source Hi Current power cords from Walker Audio with good results. In the 12AX7 position I am using a Raytheon black plate O getter which I found better than the Tele smooth plate. The Tele had a nice midrange but was light on th... | |
| Efficient Dynamic Speaker with low-end punch? I second the Reimer line. The bass on these go very deep and clean. My 18 tube watts matches well with the Teton's. |
