    Receiver to drive KLH Model 12

    Timriepe96- I have owned my Twelves' for about 20 years and still use them as my LF/RF speakers for my HT System. And I have the Model 5s for rear surround. Simply awesome! Over the 20 years, I have used the following receivers with the 12s in a 2-channel analog system---Marantz 2230 (30wpc)...

    System Of Your Dreams or Live Performances: Your Choice

    I think most listeners want premium sound quality. Been to many live performances where the sound seems like multi-single channel to me.

    Guy sings same song in 15 different environments to experiment with natural reverb.

    Mary, the video is interesting to me. I am not a home recording fanatic but I have had the opportunity to attend several live performances where I believe the architects and builders worked very hard to create amazing natural reverb in their buildings. Most notable was the Sydney Opera House...

    Show us your DIY speaker projects!

    Some very impressive designs and effort on this thread. I focused on the LFE piece for of a new 3D 5.1 system---two stacked JL Audio 10W3DVC D4 drivers wired in series/parallel for 6-ohm impedance in a DIY sealed box and powered by a separate Sonance Model 260 amplifier. The (5.1) receiver is a...

    Ugly cartridges

    Agree. It is an unrecognizable ugly beast. Here are a couple of photos showing more detail. Question: How can one read the specs and think it could be medical equipment? For example, to me, one of the better design features is the high vertical compliance----means that stylus will follow record...

    Ugly cartridges

    Introducing the world’s most ugly stereo cartridge. I have a Norelco AG-3400 that sings like a champ at the end of an SME 3009II tonearm. In fact, it may be the world’s most bountiful stereo cartridge. It is an MM cartridge but designed on the Magneto–Dynamic principle—let me explain. In usual...

    How Much Power Should My Receiver Have

    ....it's fairly easy to estimate the necessary power for HT because reference level is actually a specification/standard...... That was extremely informative! I have played with my system's "music path" and "HT path" for quite some time----processor/decoders, L&R Mains and Sub + Room Modes. So...

    How Much Power Should My Receiver Have

    1. Have a properly calibrated HT system, and 2. know what volume position represents calibrated Dolby reference level, and 3. run it at Dolby reference level during movie playback? 1)Not many--for most LFE is a showstopper when it comes down to Room Correction... 2)75 to 85db rather than a...

    "An Audiophile's Journey"

    04blackmaxx… I’m just not happy I created this thread...I was weak. First: Don't drink the Kool-Aid... Thank you for starting this thread. You have no idea how helpful it is to me to hear how the Wilson Team designed this amazing mid-band clarity and detail and still include the lower octave...

    DIY bass traps and acoustic panels

    thymanst: Nice work--traps and panels look professional. What you did fits in with my "prejudice" of room first in the HiFi audio chain of components. I think all rooms can benefit from bass traps. One technique I used when sorting out the best position of a wall panel was this--I used a...

    Please show your pics of tube amps

    Zandru –Webster-Chicago Corp Tube amp made for Army Signal Corps Not much info on the web about my mono amp. Military does not share much product data.

    Whats the most Important component in a system ?

    just dave---crappy stereo in a great room than a great stereo in a crappy room? yes, crappy stereo sounds better in a great room. I proved it to myself---took a plain oatmeal box painted the outside with diluted school glue for rigidity then sealed (latex caulk) a 4" fe103 full-range driver...

    Whats the most Important component in a system ?

    My first “choice“ in the Hi-Fi chain is room acoustics—even trumps other upgrades (source, electronics, speakers).I’ve learned that good room acoustics contribute a great deal to better sound imagery (tone, transients, phase coherence, etc.). Said another way---I really need my room to help me...

    Portable "discman" style CD player

    Samsung's Yepp YP-T5---I use mine all the time. Form-Factor Chic and functions galore. But the most amazing thing is the weight of just 24 grams, though you do have to add in the AAA battery (that in itself weighs about 12 grams), making a total of 36, although I can promise you that is still...

    Thorens TD 124.. What makes its so special?

    That's a very curious plinth! Beatcomber, I wanted to replace my original 124 plinth (made of thin pressboard as it wanted to sing along with the music) so I decided to have a shop fabricate a steel stand. The steel frame is made with very heavy gauge (11 ga.) ¾” square tubing and is filled...

    Orchestral recording with the BIGGEST dynamics?

    Almost any Mercury Living Presence LP that has Wilma Cozart Fine as producer and husband Robert Fine as engineer listed in the liner notes or on the gatefold--- very wide dynamic range. I say that because Mercury Living Presence LPs are among the most cherished by audiophile classical...
