    Music lover: severe hearing loss >=4k Hz

    There are harmonics and other things that define treble above 4khz but I am sure you can enjoy music not going beyond that. An imbalance is another thing and may be very bothersome. I believe a Wiim (example) lets you adjust sides independently and the solution may be to adjust it to below your...

    It's for a domestic environment.

    Acoustic Energy AE1 Active or Genelec 8040

    Perhaps a little small regardless of the near identical SPL capability. The larger driver will likely have better dynamics and power is almost double. It could, however pose a room problem. I have a nasty in room bass mode.

    Acoustic Energy AE1 Active or Genelec 8040

    It's time to change. I have a relatively small room, approx 3.5 x 3.5 meters. I listen approx 2 to 2.5 meters away. The two above are the only ones on my shortlist and they will likely be paired with either my Audiolab 6000A in Pre-amp function or a EverSolo DAC-Z6 DAC, to be determined yet. If...

    What about the Shibata version. Any less peak?

    AsciLab F6Bs Speaker Review

    I really like the look (and measurements) of these. Unfortunately the grey sample seems non available in the UK. Matte finishes can be prone to even the slightest marks and white can discolour with time.

    AsciLab F6Bs Speaker Review

    Its not just sensitivity but load difficulty. You need a good, load tolerant amplifier. If this one is anything like the C6B's measured by Erin, they go below 2ohms.

    focused on purchasing a new turntable... SNR >70db

    As just mentioned in another thread, got an SL100C. Lovely. Can't see how you can go wrong with the brand.

    New Turntables - AT-LP8X, DP3000NE, SL-1300GK, and others

    Got myself an SL100C recently. Rock solid turntable with a feel of heft and precision my (latest) Rega P3 lacked. The platter spins close to it's surround/case with absolutely no unevenness/noise. Different cartridge so I wouldn't dare compare but I thoroughly enjoy it. Added bonus, it looks...

    New Turntables - AT-LP8X, DP3000NE, SL-1300GK, and others

    Don't know about the AT but I just had a SL100C delivered. Solid thing, no TA bearing play and the adjustability is a breath of fresh air (previously a Rega user). I don't like the raise/lower lever but understand this is the same up until the new 1300 so am not bothered about it. It'll likely...

    Turntable platter and record damping

    Not sure where to put this but are there measurements on vibrations regarding using clamps, weights and different platter mats? I don't know how you would accurately measure vibrations/resonance on the actual record whilst spinning to assess if clamps/weights make a difference and if so, what...

    Good point and quite a serious oversight
