It is 4” exit and reportedly goes down to 27Hz. I do not know what a lot about this diver but it might be a good driver for 40Hz horn. 4” into 40hz? God, it has to be at least 16 feet long horn! I would take my head off to somebody who goes for it. A...

Coops, do you have any personal observations or ideas about the ultimate TT, or are you already invested and just checking my credentials? I would like to know your thoughts, too, based on your own personal listening habits, preferences an...

What they say:Every audiophile music lover knows of the legendary sound of Koetsu phono cartridges from decades past. Those old enough to have experienced Sugano's Koetsus retain the memory of a musical experience unequaled. Few were privilegedd to o...

Best contact Ortofon in Denmark and arrange through them (unless you bought through a US dealer).
They will send you another one on receipt of the damaged one.
Charge you replacement cost for it though - compare with Japanese price for new.

Was talking with various audio people about the 6C33C I was amazed that people are so clueless about this tube. The people are so filled with some foolish prejudges and faulty notions about 6C33C that I deseeded to put together a brief “6C33C user ma...

Since my last post to this thread I have listened to a few more versions of Ein deutsches Requiem, and I plan to share my thoughts about some of them, starting with the best so far. This is the 1940 live performance by the Concertgebouw Orchestra wi...

Yes, Hamlet by the RSC can be a truly seminal experience in the original English; every academic I know working in literature thinks that their particular field is superior to all others "with the obvious exception of Hamlet". Shakespeare gets to the...

I might approach the problem a bit differently. Think "space efficiency" and "space effectiveness."In my travels, I have seen that a lot of Europeans and Asians live in very small spaces. Of course, the Japanese have their futon beds, which they can ...

Yep, the Toscanini performance was a big surprise to me as well. Interestingly he does not play it as I would like Buckner generally, it is too “artistically expressive”, good only for Rimsky-Korsakov or Ravel but… still the way how Toscanini’s orche...
