All of us have swapped gear in our systems over the years. Other than
room treatment or other space improvements, what piece of gear changed
the sound of your system for the better to the largest degree?

For me it was either changing a Micro Seiki TT/arm with Shure cartridge
for the Oracle/Alphason/Dynavector combo in the 80s, or DCM Timewindows
traded for Maggie MG IC speakers, also in the 80s.

Throwing out my turntable

Heh! Ironically, I was going to say "adding a turntable", but that
wouldn't be entirely true. It's pretty difficult to top the impact of
changings speakers.

Without a doubt, upgrading B&W 603s to B&W 703s brought the biggest
improvement in sound quality, but adding a turntable brought a whole new
level of enthusiam to the hobby.

The LP12 was tons better than the Pioneer, and the Quads much more to my
taste than the Kabers, but moving to an apartment with concrete floors
and double drywall made the biggest change.

Sure, makes sense.

How are things in Austin? Sure would like to go there again. My friend
Jerry Judkin (conductor at UT) is starting to shop around for new audio
gear, speared on my the folks at Reference, for whom he records. He has
a really good room to build it around. Isn't Absolute Sound's
operations there now?

It seems to me there is no such thing as a one-size-fits all
system. So I switch speakers to suit my mood and the music
to which I am listening. I have access to JBL, a remarkable
pair of Kef K1 Monitors,Tannoy Golds and also B+W 801D.

I agree with you that considerable improvement can be made
with wise changes in a vinyl rig. I have recently acquired a
turntable that I have dreamed of since I was a teenager -
the EMT 948, with the EMT 929 tone arm, and an
EMT cartridge type TSD15,or XSD15

http://www.kolumbus.fi/iain.churches...T948/EMT06.jpg

This turntable is rather different in that it has built-in
balanced line electronics, which means that it can be
placed at distance from the main system. I cannot say
it is better or worse than my Garrard 401/SME/V15II
set up. But it is certainly different. The first vinyl pressing
I played on it was Samuel Barber: Adagio for Strings.

Most likely due to collection of poorly recorded music and

That reminds me of Borat. The Romanian village of Glod is suing.
If they win, they can afford to buy a second horse to pull
their broken down Dacia (car).

I've been in Glod, BTW. My car broke down coming down the mountain.
We stored it in some villagers yard till we could get back with a lift
truck to
tote it back to Bucharest. Luckily it was protected by a friendly
villager, and not strippede to the bones.

When we were stuck halfway down the mountain, the local Sherriff Andy
and his sidekick BArney drove by in
his pickup, on patrol with his pregnant wife, no less. and told us we
better get the car
down the mountain before dark, or else tomorrow,
we would find it stripped by local scavengers. So we coasted it
down, my friends almost killed themselves going around a curve.
they sent me down on some other truck that was going down the
mountain, so i missed that adventure.

Anyway its a strange village, the poorest and dirtiest, most low down
village i have seen there.
The residents are strange, sort of like gypsys, but something else. ,
sort of
inbred looking.Its like a Romanian version of backwater West Virginai.
The people su[pport themselves by collecting slate like rocks
from the river bed. they stack them up out by the street, and sell
them
'to passers by.

So far speakers and next in line an amp. I don't even have a TT set
up as of yet, but I'm making a place for it. if I thought I could get
the control box repaired I would use the Micro Seiki table I have,
otherwise it will be an old Phillips.

One can easily build a small head amp to do the same thing with any
table, although certainly EMT had the right idea. Who needs preamps
any more?

The EMT solution is a good one. The card rack includes a
headphone amp, the two RIAA channels, with presets for
alignment and also the motor servo board. There is even a
spare slot which holds the extender board.

'Tis a wondrous machine:-)

I don't have a first-hand listening experience with maggies which are
magneplanar and flat panels. But I have a hybred electrostat which
also has flat panels that are paired with a pea-sized 8" impotent woofer
subjacent to the stators that produces no palpable thrust below and
beyond the sultry bottom region.

As with flat panels, more often than not, musically integrating the
subwoofer with the main panel speakers is difficult. The initial settings
I made had a distracting discontinuity in the musical fabric. Selecting
hi-pass/low-pass filter at crossover points correctly is tricky. I spend
hours after hours adjusting the freq. points. In my case, it's tiny chips
labeled 30hz, 35hz, 40hz, .... up to 55hz, which I plugged inside the
amps circuit board. Coincidently, I also have to rearrange the movable
articles in the listening room. I never really got the optimum setting
but the improvement were already there.

The dynamic range and extension were greatly increased particularly
at the bottom end. Much to my desire.

Most likely due to collection of poorly recorded music and
sound along with, without a doubt, aggravation from an

Just wild speculation on your part, Borglet. I couldn't be using the

A sentence that is absolute nonsense due to a looped time line. I'm going to
do some speculative decoding with it and take a wild guess at its meaning. I
think you are asking whether I tried other things before treating the room
and rearranging it. The answer is that the room has been rearranged,
redecorated, and rearranged many times. The speakers and electronics have
gone through several generations of changes.

What would be your advice to clients.

Fix room acoustics first, equalize as needed to address issues with music
sources, equipment, and finally the room.

I never said any such thing, and this question is not even a reasonable
question in this context.

Audio systems are just that - systems. The various pieces all require each
other to make sound.

There is no best sounding piece of equipment in a system. You would have to
take each component out of the system to evaluate that, and then you would
be avoiding possible synergistic interactions.

It is very difficult to integrate speakers that have vastly differing

The maggies are bipolar radiators in their bass range.

A bipolar subwoofer seems to be the better choice:

Well yes, but you admitted below that the reasons you desire to
obtain improved performance using equalizer was decided upon
after you rearranged, redecorated, and rearranged your room
many times. Why would you imply that your situation would be good
enough for most when, in fact, you have to drastically rearranged
your room and still, utilize equalizer to improved your situation.


Exactly, how would most people find your situation good enough ?



After treating the room and rearranging the space, have
you tried other things before that ?

A sentence that is absolute nonsense due to a looped time line. I'm
going to do some speculative decoding with it and take a wild guess
at its meaning. I think you are asking whether I tried other things
before treating the room and rearranging it. [...]


I said, have you tried other things AFTER treating the room and space.



The answer is that the
room has been rearranged, redecorated, and rearranged many times. he
speakers and electronics have gone through several generations of
changes.


So yes, you arrange and rearrange your room and failing that --
you decided to utilize an equalizer.to ameliorate your poor listening
environment.


OR, did you wished to incorporate Rane equalizer into your system
firsthand and then, decided to rearrange the hell out of your room
in order to easily equalize your equalizer ?

????


What would be your advice to clients.

Fix room acoustics first, equalize as needed to address issues with
music sources, equipment, and finally the room.


Was you intention to use Rane equalizer to compensate for your
poorly designed listening environment or, to address issues you
have with your poorly recorded music sources ?

Rane equalizer.


It is a MQ 302S.

Most likely due to collection of poorly recorded music
and sound along with, without a doubt, aggravation from
an unsuitable listening environment having unwavering
and uncorrectable room acoustic.

Just wild speculation on your part, Borglet. I couldn't
be using the equalizer to obtain improved levels of
performance in a situation that most would find to be
good enough, now could I?

Well yes,

Thank you.

but you admitted below that the reasons you

What's wrong with that?

Every approach has its limits. The more relevant approaches you apply to the
difficult proposition of properly reproducing music, the better the results,
no?

Exactly, how would most people find your situation good
enough ?

Obviously, it sounded good enough for most people, even picky people.

you tried other things before that ?

What you said before that made the whole run-on into a big train wreck.

No, having obtained some but not yet enough success to satisfy me...

you decided to utilize an equalizer.to ameliorate your
poor listening environment.

Why would it necessarily be poor?

OR, did you wished to incorporate Rane equalizer into
your system firsthand and then, decided to rearrange the

No, the Rane is a fairly recent addition, but not the first equalizer to be
used in that system.

What would be your advice to clients.

Fix room acoustics first, equalize as needed to address
issues with music sources, equipment, and finally the
room.

Was you intention to use Rane equalizer to compensate for your poorly

Who says that either is the reason why I added the Rane?

the equalizer is your best sounding piece because you
can use it to dial out any particular out of tune
singer in your church choir recordings.
Not that there's anything left after that.


I have the feeling that since our system are good enough,
he feels it necessary to add rane equalizer in his because
it makes him feel special.
