PSB Stratus Goldi vs Paradigm Studio 100 v2
The Gold i is a very nice speaker and IMO by far a better speaker than the 100v2.The Golds have a all the virtues of an expensive speaker but what it lacks is a little finesse in its presentation. Overall an excellent value for money. BTW, I have ... 
What's under YOUR turntable?
A Vibraplane and it makes a hell of a difference. You never guessed that your TT sounded Blurrred until you put it on the Vibraplane. Wish I had extra cash to get another for the CD transport.Got mine real cheap from a local guy for $350. Will nev...

Why Sony watts aren't as good as _____ watts
Jwrobinson, "stiff" was ment to be a word NOT what you were reffering to in the 70's. What I was meaning was that the power supplies in cheaper gear were not "big" enough or will "droop" when a tough load is driven causing the amp to clip. 
Why Sony watts aren't as good as _____ watts
What were the apms driving when the power was spec? Most Japanese amps drive only a 1khz tone and not pink noise full bandwidth from 20hz-20khz You will read it in the manual something like 100w @1khz.Other thing is 100w @ 8ohm @1khz at wiat disto... 
Any Proac Supertower Owners Out There?
Yeah, take it to a speaker repair shop and they'll replace it like my first post suggest. If I am not mistaken, supertowers uses the foam surrounds. I used to have a pair a long time ago. 
Any Proac Supertower Owners Out There?
Is it the speaker surrounds? If it is, it can be replaced. 
Any Proac Supertower Owners Out There?
Non original replacememt drivers will make your speaker "different". Nobody can tell until they are repaired.The best solution is to get them refoamed professionaly. Do not do it on your own even though it looks simple. Firstly, the cone has to be...

Buying a used Oracle Delphi Mk_ ?
If the suspension towers look different from the mk5, then it could be a mk1 or mk2. If yours does not have a 33/45 rpm switch, there is a huge possibility that it is a mk1. Hope it helps. Any questions, please email me. 
Buying a used Oracle Delphi Mk_ ?
Oh, I forgot to mention. If you find a used Delphi, make sure the motor works properly, smoothly because there is no replacement parts for it.Usually they last a long, long time. Soned and look wise, it is one of the greatest tables available out ... 
Buying a used Oracle Delphi Mk_ ?
I used to own a MK3 and if you know how to set it up, it is not too hard. Oracle provides a tool to setup the suspension. I find this easy to use BUT further fine tuning is requred to make the setup perfect.When the Delphi is setup correctly, you ...
