My score was 20! I'm so calm, valium takes me! :-)

Great question. I heard a few different pairs at CES earlier this year, and was non-plussed for the most part. Of course, there were many variables involved, including different ancilliary gear, room acoustics, etc., so one can hardly fairly blame the speakers. However, one room that did very...

The rationale is this: MLs sound best when using the inner third of the curved electrostatic panel. If you sit further back from the speaker plane than a certain distance, you must slightly toe out the speakers so that the inner third is pointing in your direction. Does it make sense now?

Agreed! I'm glad the video also specifically mentioned toe-OUT, as my Spires are slightly toed out.

Very cool!

And fantastic it is--I love it!

Very likely. Unlike us, Justin probably has a life! :-)

Congratulations on your retirement, Jim. Enjoy the break--you've earned it! :bowdown: And congrats to Melodie, too, on her promotion!

Nothing will convince her more than a personal audition. I am very happy with my ML Spires!

Class A and Class A/B is a way of describing how the output devices in an amp are biased. Your Pass X350.5, unless I am mistaken, is a Class A/B design, hence my joke about your bias being Class A/B. If you had one of Pass' XA models, I'd have said that your bias was Class A instead. Call it...

Class A/B? Tee hee hee! :-)

Sounds to me there might be compliance/effective mass mismatch that this particular record is exacerbating (perhaps by sub-sonic sound). What does the music do at this time? Is a loud bang, or a quiet passage? If the former (and perhaps even the latter), it could be that this record is...

Anti static sleeves are *wonderful*. I've just run out of the Nagaoka 102 sleeves I've used exclusively for the past 15+ years (I bought 1,000 at a hifi show in England once), so I've had to find replacements. The best I've found so far are from Elusive Disc. Note that I use these sleeves to...

Agreed! When it comes to vinyl, cleanliness is next to godliness!

The MMF 2.2 would be a great choice, as would the Pro-Ject Debut III and the Rega P2 (or it might be the P1; I forget, sorry!). I'd definately lean towards news, because unless you know the seller, you never know how badly the TT has been treated (think: bearing damage).

Agreed, especially when one considers NAFTA...

Welcome from a fellow vinyl-spinner!

Or, perhaps (considering the season), tuque-firmly-in-cheek? :-)

Hi All, Jenny and I spent the last few days in Vancouver, soaking up some Olympic atmosphere. I mentioned to fellow forum member, Lance (Zaphod), that we'd be in the area, and asked if he would be interested in getting together for an hour or two. He was, so on Saturday Jenny and I met Lance...

Jeff and co are all capable of defending themselves, but I have to agree with them. Your behaviour is remarkably troll-like. This forum welcomes polite, reasoned debate and dissenting opinions. You are of course entitled to hold any opinion you want, and chose how to express said opinion...
