I've been suspecting it, now my wife verified it: Size does matter.

Aloha,

I've been playing with some different 'subwoofers' to see if they could integrate with the Ferguson Hill Lowther based speakers.

I tried two kinds of those flat stiff small diameter woofer cubes, but they really seemed to only add that 'one note' dimension to the sound.

Then, I went back to an old pair of Genesis 12-inch sealed box woofers (from 1993 or 1994) and got a much more sonorous result. More nuance and 'musical content.' They seemed to be able to 'keep up' with the Lowthers much better in terms of speed and remaining 'invisible,' too.

Whenever my family and I travel together, I catch a glimpse of how the human mind works. Immediately after checking into our hotel, my wife goes to work distributing the contents of our suitcases among the room's various cabinets, closets, and drawers. Then, the next morning, I discover the location of my underpants <I>heuristically</I>: seeking without knowing, in the hope that some newly learned pattern will be imprinted on my brain. Thus do I earn the luxury of complacence: Every morning thereafter, my things are right where I know they should be.

Anti-skating, my turntable rocks!

Got the new Stooges LP (not that great, as it turns out, IMHO). Anyway, there are 3 sides, so side 4 isn't really side 4, it's blank/smooth. Just for fun, I "played" side 4. When I lowered the stylus to it, it tracked smoothly and noiselessly, without moving a bit laterally. The tonearm was motionless when I placed the stylus near the outer edge of the record, or near the label, or in the middle. I presume that's a fair indicator that my anti-skating is set "just right".
