    How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl?

    Dear all, Firstly there are thousands of non RIAA records. Secondly the EQ-100 is a superb choice for sonics and flexibility. Match it with a GE vari for heavenly sound. The designer at Aurorasound should in my opinion be heavily revered. The Pada and Preda combination have beaten all others...

    Sir, I experience the flare as offering better integration of sound emanating from the bass port or mouth. Without them the layering that I hear in the Maag midsummer is veiled by bass prominence. I have also tried the larger flair which I found to be too much the other way. Kindest regards, G.

    Dear Morricab, I believe the horn flare is vacuum formed plexi? Filip Keller at AER would be the correct person to inform us all on the flare. Kindest regards, G.

    Sure, The "Webster" was recorded using "Beyerdynamic M90x pro" microphones. Large condenser cardiod pairs. The others were recorded using "Earthworks" small condenser hyper cardiod pairs. The mics go straight into a "Canon XC-15" with no pre or post editing or production. Kindest regards, G.
