Slaw...Looks like an excellent design Steve. The layout of my current room prevents wall mounting my Townshend Rock Elite table (it has Sorbothane feet, which I bypass with a set of the Seismic Pods), but... posted over 6 years ago | View comment | |
Small Room, Big SoundSimon, I have read only part of the thread you provided below (I'll get back to it shortly), but very much agree with your comment about ARC phono stages---too much gain for high output pickups,... posted over 6 years ago | View comment | |
Small Room, Big SoundSimon is the very definition of a perfectionist! I've never before seen or heard a system assembled with such attention to detail, and I've seen and heard a few in the past fifty years. I spent ... posted over 6 years ago | View comment | |

Kenny's SystemJay's associate did a great job matching the sub's veneer to your speakers, Kenny. I was pretty sure the OB Subs would provide the sound you were looking for, as that is the same sound as was I. I ... posted over 6 years ago | View comment | |
Kenny's SystemGood to hear the GR Research/Rythmik OB/Dipole Subs met your high standards, Kenny. My pair work very well as substitutes for the stock woofers in a pair of Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeakers, ... posted over 6 years ago | View comment | |

Small Room, Big SoundAh yes ff, I misread where you substituted Nitride in your system. $60 for a set of three 1/2" SN ball bearings is reasonable. I could justify that for source components, and maybe tube pre and ... posted almost 7 years ago | View comment | |
Small Room, Big Soundff, I'm going to have to find out your source for the Si Nitride ball bearings you installed in your Roller Block Jr's. Geoffrey Owen of Helius Designs offers Si Nitride ball bearings in place of R... posted almost 7 years ago | View comment | |

Air, Magnets, String & TapeChris, I've heard the ET 8a's, at Brooks Berdan's shop. The change in the b version was to the tweeter and it's cross-over only, which is at the unusually high frequency of 10kHz! The x/o is 1st or... posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |
