I hate to say I told you so but back at the beginning of this thread I suggested that there was a compliance mismatch going on with basite's TT. I suggested a lower compliance cartridge then!

this might be a stupid question, but why do the grado's have such a high frequence response/range (10hz->50khz)? also, the humming, is it only with direct drives or also with belt drive?

i heard this on the news (i said this in your sacd topic) that the vinyl industry (and sales) is booming because of the kids who buy vinyl.

We had alot of good inputs, and I think alot of people learned a thing or two. I know I did. Turned out to be one of the best thread in Analog Room in a while.

I believe I said higher compliance. My post should have said lower compliance. A lower compliance cartridge like a Dynavector DV10X would couple better with that rather massive S shaped tonearm on your TT. This is not an attack on your tonearm. It's just an observation from lessons I have learned over the years.

the biggest thread in the analog room i knew, i also learned alot too.

[basite]

good, here i am again, something completely different (didn't mind openig a new thread),
german is going well, so are the other lessons, so i think the pro ject will be mine very soon
long term projects.

i'm 16 now, in Belgium, that means you can work as a jobstudent/vacation work (work for students), next summer i'm planning to do that, and with the money i earn, i'm planning to buy these:
http://www.wharfedale.co.uk/model.ph...=16&finish=11#

that's right, a new set of speakers, they will NOT replace the advents completely, they will be 'additioned' to the system so i can switch between speakers,

first, i also thought about mageplanar mmg's but then again, they are kind of big, and i haven't heard a planar speaker ever (at least not playing music) and they're difficult to power.

so, for now, wharfedale's
note that this can change dramattically, saturday it's hi-fi show in brussels, there will be alot of brands (which are waaaay to expensive for me) but we'll see.

Hi,

I think it's a good move to look at new speakers. Speaker design and materials used has moved on a fair bit.
Enjoy the show on Saturday, I was in two minds if I should go, but since we will have one here in January I passed on the Brussels one.
Wharfedale make some really fine Budget Standmounts. I have never heard any of their Floor standing range, so can't comment.
If this is your first show, a couple of tips.Take some music with you and ask to listen to stuff you know to speakers you might like. I would just concentrate on the stuff you will be able to afford and not get side-tracked by the big hitters. But most off all enjoy and trust your ears and bare in mind that sound at a show is usual not very good.

Have fun

Peace

Bernd
