As I grow old and nurse a fragile back, I too have a fantasy of a good sounding, lightweight TT (and amp, speakers for the matter).Every lightweight TT on the market makes me interested for this reason
(Rega Planar 9, Well Tempered, Roksan, Amazon,...

Thanks, msaudio, for sharing your experience with Aura and Hartley. I do not have Hartleyes. I heard them I think twice but person the people did not try to get out of their playback anything that I care, so it is hard to say anything. In contrary I ...

I would like to think a little about the monitors. A monitor is kind of bogus name but useful. I usually call a loudspeaker that is not floor standing as a monitor. Sometime they called bookshelf but I hardly image any loudspeaker on a bookshelf…

People who frequent at my site know my constant intend to assess performance of audio before even thinking to make any changes:

Approaching from this mindset I always ask people who buy n...

I don't remember and am too lazy to check the sizes of the drivers for this system, but I do "remember" this as a speaker that Wilson has never outdone since. I suppose it still comes with tech help in setting it up, which would be the ballgame for ...

[quote user="Paul S"]I think it is fair to say that no big speakers are going to "work" up to their potential without some serious effort expended in setting them up. IMO, this is no small matter, and Wilson obviously agrees,&nbs...

I still find that what Polymer Audio is reasonable if to take under consideration what they are. The Polymer Audio try to appeal for a totally different segment of prospective customers – the Robb Report reading and the sleazy Rolexes wearing y...

[quote user="ayebee"]An observation that might only be of superficial interest to the thread: I don't think the speakers use Klangfilm woofers. The pictures are a bit grainy, but the dustcaps look far too big for the original Bionor woofers. I would ...

There are at least two threads going here. I am onto the idea that Lamm has finally released his latest-and-greatest uber-amp, and I am trying to glean some idea of how it performs, other than the political mirror test. Obviously the...

This is what the Cessaro sounded like last year:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvA43ym5cYo&feature=youtu.beI don't think he's "upgraded" his camera in the meantime.There's this other "local guy" doing video reports with reasonably good sound bu...

Rooms are normally booked from Manufacturers or Distributors. Not all of them have a full line, so they look for Partners. Looking for Partners to share costs and/or to present a running System. A Turntable or Digital Manufacturers does not build amp...

I too want a monitor speaker to play with, especially for amplifier experimentation.I put another 4" Fostex in a sealed "box" (globe actually) and crossed it over at 150hz to one SS 25w/8565 on the side. Wishful thinking? -Yes.About 88-90dB sensitive...

Ok, so I'm not really going to talk about the show itself, but more of some interesting things I learned. Yes, I did have a room, but that's not the point. I was able to borrow some speakers from Azzolina. They are of the unusual Lo...

Well the whole write up i just wrote disappeared. In one sense that isn't all that different from my experience of the Festival Son et Image here in Montreal yesterday. i'll be quick this time in the hopes that my post will get through. bett-er rooms...

I agree with your thoughts. Current High End is to audio like Haute Couture is to fashion. You actually pay for something that a designer decided you may need (in fact he gives a damn if you need it or not always you buy it), and you take it as is, p...

Yeah, and I once thought Krell was the way to go, a boy's (or a man's) dream when I saw pictures of the KSA 100 poweramp for the first time. I must admit that in 1991 I heard a demo with Krell KAS poweramps, Wilson WATT/Puppy's + Pow Wow subwoofer an...

AlloWell, I hope I wasn't threadjacking too much; as far as I see it, the best case for digital processors is for messing around with the time domain, not for x/o'g. Ah, so you feel a bit of phase shift at LF is beneficial... interesting. I've a...

It is a good question that I also asked when I saw this speaker. Afterall, everything being equal using the same materials for the drivers is more optimal from a coloration standpoint. My guess is cost. They already had splurged for...

[quote user="tuga"] Do you have an idea about what could cause "ripped" CDs to sound bad and is there any way that these problems you mention could be solved or minimized? Did you also reach the same conclusions by "ripping" CDs with your DAW and pla...

I listened to those some time ago. It was a full Lamm combo with ML3 + LP2 paired with Wilson Alexandria. This Doc from the WBF Forum never missed a second to tell the world how super this combination is. Above the holy grail. I found an owner with s...

Nope I’m not familiar with Octave Research OR1. I heard about Andy Rapapport but I never heard or have seen his amps. My thinking about all of this has littler rational and even less experience. I would never think about SS but the phenomenal success...

Hi everyone,First, thank you for all your advices. The university take many most of my time, so listen to speaker had been difficult.So......I come back with many things too tell, i have made some listening sessions to find a good speaker to work wit...

hi romyi disagree totally with your point of view regarding audio industry. i think first of all, what this all is abought, is to have fun listening to music. and it is VERY subjective, what is good sound reproduction, and what is not. if someone doe...

OK, I see.
Actually, I was planning on using the Druids with their ports sealed. Bad idea?FWIW, I have a pair of Wilson Benesch Chimera speakers (the UK-based manufacturer, not to be confused with the 'famous' US one) that I'm hoping to use fo...

This weekend I was told that there is a new power conditioner out there: Dmitri from Running Springs Audio. I never heard the company and have no idea that they are, what they do and what the stand for.
A quick search lead me to number of posi...

Well, writing a critical material about the Moronity of
audio videos out there I presumably put myself in a position of a person "who
knows better". The reality of the things is that if I do believe that I
know better and if my task would be t...

Aura made their 1808 driver in 80s and most of the 90s and it was wonderful. It had huge high-temperature neodymium magnet, unique magnet geometry with underhung 4" edgewound aluminum voice coil. It was the only 18-inch...
