| Turntable - On the Wall or to the Floor? Don't worry about paintings or other items attached to the wall Kenny.It's important to use strong metal brackets into the studs (or masonry) and then an MDF, plywood or wooden shelf on the metal brackets.You then simply need spikes between the sh... | |
| What makes for a "great" turntable? That's a passionate response Dolph and in a way, I know what you mean.However on this issue, we'll have to agree to 'disagree'?I believe the last 10-15 years have seen some significant advances in the thought and design of turntables, arms and car... | |
| Any cables that give more bass "I would NEVER use a signal coming off a subwoofer that would ultimately drive my main speakers."Neither would I..........by connecting the subs via the main speakers' terminals or the amps output terminals, you are not doing what you suggest you ... | |
| Last song on most LP's pressed with compression "If you can't hear this on your rig (with an LP that is cut compressed on the last track- not all are)then no doubt your system is not resolved enough."Hmmm........I don't hear it on ANY records so I guess I need to get rid of those damn arms (Cop... | |
| Any cables that give more bass I also agree with ghstudio and Tvad.Many self-powered subwoofers connect via the main speakers connections or via the amplifiers output terminals so having a sub output on the amp is irrelevant. | |
| Koetsu vs Dynavector I agree with Audiofeil.After more than 30 years of serious listening and only recently having acquired the Continuum Copperhead and DaVinci 12" Reference Grandezza, I have come to the realisation that the tone-arm is more important than the cartri... | |
| Koetsu vs Dynavector PS Rloggie,I just LOVE your system!I also had many years ago, the Clearaudio Concerto cartridge which you are running, and was very pleased with it. | |
| Koetsu vs Dynavector Rloggie,Whilst the ZYX Universe shares almost all of the DV1s' sonic vitues (solid bass, realistic mids and etherial highs), in every arm I've mounted it and on both TTs I've used it, it has the ability (unique amongst all the cartridges I've ever... | |
| Koetsu vs Dynavector Well you're in luck Dan......I had at one time, a Koetsu Urishi and I now have a Dynavector DV1s as well as a ZYX Universe.I must say that you are certainly contemplating 2 radically differently sounding cartridges and your preferences will be gre... | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing vs. Downward Firing Shadorne, you are quite correct about the REL subwoofer designs (or at least the early ones).Having had a REL Stadium II for 10 years, I found it integrated well with my full-range speakers when run from the main speaker terminals (in other words,... | |
| Subwoofer setting "...for a 20Hz wave to form in the air, the largest dimension of the room must be at least 27.5 feet."I've seen this argument before and also seen it refuted.How do you explain the stomach-churning bass able to be produced in some car installations? | |
| Cartridge setup revisited "Since a wooden arm would not be dimensionally stable at typical range of residential temps and humidity,"Perhaps the humidity may affect a wooden arm (although I can't imagine that the wood would not have been properly sealed against such absorpt... | |
| TW Acustic Raven One owners Thanks Jaspert,Don't get me wrong?.......the sound of my system with the Raven AC-3 plus DaVinci and Copperhead arms is of course far more revealing and competent than with the Rega 3/Hadcock combination.The point I was trying to make is that the ... | |
| TW Acustic Raven One owners I have to disagree slightly here........I mounted a $5000 ZYX Universe on my 30 year old Rega Planar 3 with Hadcock GH228 unipivot arm (total price 30 years ago $375) and the resultant sound was one of the 4 revelations of my audio life.I now have... | |
| How to reproduce sound of piano "-how to make a grand piano sound real in a room that is not big enough for a grand piano."I know what you're saying Shadorne, but my living room is not big enough for a symphony orchestra.....come to think of it....it's not big enough for the Bea... |
