| Metal, aluminum, or wood for a rack ? I use a steel rack [Star Sound] and have no trouble so I wouldn't worry about one. | |
| Using a 3A fuse in place of a 3.15A fuse? Dropped some of my post, I meant to add that I also can't see how the difference in value could affect the sound. I haven't tried changing fuses, a friend uses magnets instead and says it is a considerable improvement; of course there is no protec... | |
| Using a 3A fuse in place of a 3.15A fuse? As long as you are going DOWN in rating you can always use a different value; it will just blow a little quicker. | |
| Records weights or pucks -heavy or light? I have had good luck with TTWeights; there are so many and so many different methods that it is hard to say anything general. Harmonix makes one that costs $3000; I have not seen one nor expect to although I am a dealer for them. If your table has... | |
| Kef 205/2 Several years ago I visited a friend and noticed that his new ML hybrid did not have the bass I expected them to have. He later found out that they had been wired out of phase at the factory by mistake. There are many test records that have in and... | |
| Tonearm for TW Acustic and heavier cartridge I have two friends who use the Phantom with this table; one uses an high end Air Tight and the other one of the better Dynavectors. Both are happy with the results. | |
| Kef 205/2 You should be getting plenty of bass;not being there the only thing I could recommend is moving the speakers around to see if that helps. The best position for one set is not always best for another; I would try them at the position recommended by... | |
| Experience w/ 40-75 watt amps on Dunlavy IVs Pryso, I was talking to Carter last summer about a pair of SC IVs that were for sale and forgot exactly what he had; I know the Duntechs were suppose to be the better ones but didn't realize they were that different. I haven't seen any in person f... | |
| Experience w/ 40-75 watt amps on Dunlavy IVs A friend has a the same or similar system with subs; however, he has settled on Parasound JC-1s, which are 400 watts a channel. He is a professional musician[ violin] who wants realistic sound so a lot of power can't hurt. I use a CJ 350 myself on... | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? Recognizing that the term "warmer" appears to be impossible to define with any degree of consensus I would add that I find soft dome tweeters "warmer" [whatever that means] than metal domes. I base this on the Scanspeak ones in my Spendor SP 1/2Es... | |
| Phono stage advice ProJect Tube Box 11 SE at $750. | |
| Amps that are "forward" If you want to hear more detail I would add room treatment; "bright" sounding amps appear to give more detail but just alter the balance of what you were already hearing. Getting rid of cancellation due to reflected sound will give you more real d... | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? Play "Light My Fire" over and over again. | |
| What causes speaker cone to extend when... There might have been enough stored in the caps in the first case if they moved when unplugged. There is sometimes some very low material that is not musical; I have notices this on a CD as well. Some kind of artifact from the recording process is... | |
| Is it hard on my amp to be driving 4 ohm speakers? No, that is not necessarily true; it is quite likely that the amp will put out as much or more power at 16 ohms. SS amps TRY to double their output every time the impedance is halved so the Sugden will struggle more with the 4 ohm load than higher... |
