    Home theatre seats. Its an older picture. Today, there is an LSi15 flanking each side on custom-built risers that match the LSi15.
    Do you hear that buzzing noise? :confused:

    Your room is much better than mine but your placement could not be worse for an SDA. I bet they still sound fantastic.

    Here is my room and it is all bad. To close together at 5'8" and to close the side walls at 2'6". Sheet goods on concrete for the flooring. Heavy, rubber backed, black out curtain. Lowes rug and dog beds for the room treatments. Rent house so not many options.

    might have to bite the bullet and pair this monstrosity with a pair of vintage Polk Audio Monitors (although, truth be told, I am thinking about the HPM-1100s as being somehow more apropos).

    Interesting.
    It spent much of its life in the vicinity of White Plains, NY... (it was my in-laws')
    as I recall, the manufacture date stencilled on the back is 1949; does that sound about right

    Hello,
    This is a photo of a classic Linn LP12 with Linn Ittok LVII tonearm and Shure cartridge I worked on. I installed the cartridge and made some measurements and did a general cleanup, removed some scratches on the dust cover and got rid of some mars on the base. Sounds very good!
    Enjoy, Ken

    Since I had two different turntables and tonearms both mounted with the same model Shure M97xE cartridges I could make some measurements with my Ortofon analyzer. I believe this shows how the tonearm can effect the performance of the cartridge. The output on the Thorens was 3.4mV (left) and 3.4mV (right), the Linn was 3.7mV (left) and 3.5mV (right), channel balance was 0.1dB Thorens and 0.5dB Linn. Channel separation was 29.1dB left minus right and 18.2dB right minus left for the Thorens and 22.0dB left minus right and 23.7dB right minus left for the Linn. This difference would affect the soundstage presentation, I believe. Both setups showed no vertical resonance with the Shure stabilizer in operation, and 8Hz lateral resonance for the Thorens and 7Hz for the Linn, being a slightly more massive tonearm. The biggest difference is the frequency response, with the Thorens having a moderate peak at 15khz and the Linn being within 2.0dB from 1Hz to 20kHz attributable to the tonearm wiring and connecting cable. But the final quality of the frequency response will be determined, a great deal, on the loading each owner will use with their respective turntables.
    I noticed the Linn played slightly faster at 33.5rpm instead of 33.3rpm (adjustable) on the Thorens, which might support a theory of mine that some turntables sound more "involving" because they are playing slightly faster, pitching everything slightly higher. As I said, just a theory.
