| elevating subwoofer... It is easy to find replacement spikes; buy a couple of bolts and check the thread and then buy the spikes. Parts Express or other suppliers will have them. | |
| Best tube-based phono stage? My friend likes the Tron; I am SS myself. Agree that there is no "best". | |
| Phono recommendations for Koetsu They were just under $3000 on my last dealer sheet but it could have gone up since then. | |
| Which amp for B&W 802 Matrix series 3 I have made several mods to my LP12; email me if you would like a description. Not a sales pitch; I bought them all retail and have no connection with any of them; just did a lot of research and willing to share it. Linn's upgrades are $$$ but the... | |
| b&w 801n used price? need a sub? Certainly not! The big recording studios used these as monitors on everything up to full orchestra. I use to sell the early 801s and they never needed more bass. What they do need is POWER. Also stands are very helpful. | |
| Best amp for bowers & Wilkins PM 1's My friend is doing it the other way; he got a Parasound A21 and intendes to get PM1s to go with them. | |
| Weak Bass from my SP 1/2s I also use RELs but the Spendors can have good bass. Back in the early 80s I use to use SP 2s to demo Krell amps when I was a Krell dealer. But I had a live end/ dead end listening room with a concrete floor. | |
| Weak Bass from my SP 1/2s I have the same speakers but do not have this problem. Right now I am using a 400 watt amp on mine [CJ 350]. This is overkill; my other speakers need it. I suspect your amp is the problem. I have driven SP 1s with a lot of amps and never had bass ... | |
| How far can room treatments solve boomy bass? They can make it better at least. How much they can do depends on the extent of the problems. | |
| Parasound Halo A21 - Power conditioner? I use a PPP with my CJ 350; which draws even more current than the A 21. It sounds better through the PPP; have also used a Quintet and a Shunyata with good results. But there is NO substitute for trying it out yourself! | |
| Phono recommendations for Koetsu It is a matter of taste; the only Koetsu I have sold so far[ a Vermillion] is being used with a Tron phono stage [tube] and works well. But SUTs work also and Audio Note makes some good ones. Their top one is fantastic by all reports but mega $. T... | |
| Review: Synergistic Research PowerCell 10 SE Mk II AC filter I use the MIGs under all my electronics. However, I did not care for the SR cables when I heard them in a system here in town; the owner eventually sold them. He had both speaker cables and ICs; several of us thought that my Cardas GR speaker cabl... | |
| Cart suggestions for Avid Acutus It would help to know the rest of your system. | |
| One sub or two? This has been gone over many times, check the archives. One is good, two is better. I went from one REL to 2; REL recommends two. How on earth Phase could declare "the bass wave from one sub will be more than adequate" is beyond me. As if all subs... | |
| VPI Traveller My point was that it is hard to comment on something you know nothing about. I have faith in Harry but I would at least like to see one before comparing it to existing models. IF it were me I would look first at something like a used Scoutmaster; ... |
