| Tweeters got me baffled. When you try switching the speakers side to side to see which you prefer (if either at all) listen for 2 things. 1) Clarity from reducing side wall reflections a tad (when tweeter is on the outside) and, 2)Soundstaging which should be slightly wid... | |
| RB300 anti-skating problem never quite ? I'm not sure I understand what you are saying, but assume that your observations are made based on the settings and the movement of the arm without the stylus being set in the groove. Is that correct?If so, consider that anti-skating works in conj... | |
| tape out = preout ??? What Plato said. But a little more specifically, the tape out is going to pass the signal from the source without amplification or attenuation. When you hit a loud section from the source when connected thru the tape out you could damage your spea... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Al, I for one, have no reason why I couldn't agree with your proposal as suggested in the 1st sentence of your last paragraph. Loosly interperted I see that proposal as agreeing that one can improve the quality of his audio system by the addition ... | |
| Accuphase e202 hissing sound on right chanel. That is a fairly old unit. I wouldn't be surprised if you have some caps that need to be replaced. Time to find a techie who can check it out for you. | |
| 9", 10" or 12" tonearms Bottom line, the longer the arm the less distortion than that which would be created by a shorter arms geometry. The 12" arm would track in a shallower arc allowing the cartridge to trace more accurately from the beginning to the end of the record... | |
| Top Luxman integrated - 509u or 590Aii? IF you can drive your speakers adequately in the Class A amp's power envelope and your listening skills are developed sufficiently to hear the subtleties brought by Class A amps, and you are actually paying attention to those subtleties, then a Cl... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? FWIW, amoungst my failings, please include a total lack of editing skills. Total! :-) | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Gee, I was only gone for a week or so and I come back to find this thread still active. But it does seem to have morf'd into something completely different from the original post where in, as I interpreted it, Bryon was informing us that he had di... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Foster, consider when you are going to change tubes that you will have an opportunity to change the tone substantially, + or - depending on the type of and brand of tubes you can use. I'm sure you knew that, but I was just thinking about your issu... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Foster9, If you are not already famililar with the theories about sound reproduction linearity at low volumes you might like to read up on the Fletcher Munson Curve. I think how they deal with the bass issue is correct, maybe not so much with the ... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Cbw723, You are right civility is very important and hostility is always out of place. I should have stopped at the end of my second sentence in the last paragraph by which time I had said all that was on my mind regarding the subject at hand. | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Byron, It's hard to argue with your new, or restated, position. Not many nits, for me anyway, that are worth picking or restating. But you lost me with your conclusion that getting to your optimum combiniation of resolution, transparancy, and neut... | |
| Sonus Faber replacement parts Hawk, I don't know what Sonus' policy is but normally it isn't a matter of you having to buy them new so much as that they were sold new thru the dealers distribution chain in the first place. Some manufacturers only restrict their objections to w... | |
| Sonus Faber replacement parts Can't you ask for seriel numbers from the seller (as well as identifying the retailer) and then check with Sonus to make sure they were sold thru their distribution chain? They are just one of several manufacturers who go this far to protect their... |
