@lalitk It’s not the one in the picture, but I’ve now been using a Tri-Planar U12 SE tonearm, which is one of the best tonearms engineered today. I am a Tri-Planar dealer, as the company is local to me here in Minnesota. Please send me a private message if you have interest in learning more about it. Happy to answer any questions.
@lalitk I hear you, absolutely. It will most likely happen, just a matter of priority between upgrading the floor system and investing in customer inventory. Kicking off my business as a dealer has been a fun challenge! Should you want to trade anything in towards an N30SA or MC20 if you don’t have them already, let me know. I’ll do everything I can to work with you!
@lalitk Thank you! I was eyeing rhe MC20 at AXPONA and it certainly piqued my interest. It might be something I add, but the internal clocks in both the N30SA and T+A reference DAC are already very stellar. The itch is there, so who knows?
Thank you, @jond! Yes what you refer to are Synergistic Research HFT Speaker kits. They act as tiny little transducers that help battle standing waves and phasing issues to help the speakers’ resolution and enable them to more easily disappear into the room. I use other HFTs around the room and the effect is notable.
@jjbechto I went for the SVS SB-4000 over the SB16 Ultra for a few reasons:
1. Bigger woofers that reach lower frequencies are often not “faster”. I wanted the quality of the carbon-like driver in a sealed enclosure that could perform as fast as possible with the music. I’m predominantly using the sub for soundstage improvement and clarity across the frequency range vs adding thump.
2. My room is medium sized, and two of the SB-4000 are sufficient. I also didn’t want the footprint of a larger sub taking up more space.
3. I didn’t go for another sub brand because of a cost for value ratio. I respect REL, but the subs are incredibly expensive if you want them to go lower than 20hz at -3db. Also, SVS’ DSP capabilities and ability to adjust everything (crossover, phase degrees, parametric EQ, etc) through their mobile app from my listening chair is priceless as proper sub integration is such a pain in the butt.
@larry572 You’re a funny one. If you’re not joking, well, everyone’s tastes are different. But yes, she understands me and I understand her. The system in a main room of our house.
@jerryg123 The other windows have blinds that roll down to diffuse reflections from the glass and they are always down when I listen, but the Vicoustic between the speakers makes for an incredible center image.
