| CLAYTON SHAW - CALADAN - JULY SHIPMENT LIST Just an fyi... I canceled my Caladan order and was promptly refunded the total amount to my credit card in a matter of a few days. I just couldn't stand the extended delivery timeline suspense, no updates, etc. Still looking for my next speaker... | |
| CLAYTON SHAW - CALADAN - JULY SHIPMENT LIST Anyone hear of any updates on the production of the Caladans? I have not been able to register for the Clayton Shaw forum. My order is about 9 weeks old. Has anyone received their Caladans lately? How long did they actually take to fulfill the ord... | |
| New Cartridge advice I ended up buying a Denon 301MKII with a Denon head shell. The combined weight of the head shell and cart is about 15-16 grams which falls into the sweet spot for the S arm, (11-20 grams including head shell. spacers, and screws.) I plan to set my... | |
| New Cartridge advice @porchlight1 I'm loving my Linn Nexus speakers. I originally bought them new in 89 for $1100 I think. They demoed with Linn cd player and turntable at the time. Had an A/B switch so you could compare. They played Sheffield Labs James Newton Howard... | |
| New Cartridge advice @markmoskow My Denon Dl-62 has both the straight and s-curved tonearms. Which would give better results with the Denon 301MK2? In the manual, it looks like the straight arm is for lighter carts. I do like the head shell mounting system on the S ... | |
| New Cartridge advice @markmoskow Thank you for the specific information on what works with the Denon tables.. That's exactly the type of information I was looking for. Thanks to that responded. Has anyone tried the Hana SL with a similar model Denon? | |
| Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly... My own experience with the A8 has been great. To improve your streaming experience, I recommend upgrading your internet connection by using a product like the Ifi galvanic isolator between your router and your A8. I also use a Puron AC Power Condi... | |
| Vibration dampening I am using a product like this under my Hsu sub: Aurelex SubDude II. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/969016-REG/auralex_subdude_ii_subwoofer_isolation.html?ap=y&smp=y&msclkid=cdd589d9277412c4410def41335905eb Works well and defini... | |
| Looking for phono preamp advice in the $1000 - $1600 range Check out the Darlington Labs MP8B. It will work with low output moving coils and has an upgraded power supply. I have the MP7 which sounds great with my moving magnet pickups. It seems to be customizable for any coil and setup you have. Of course... | |
| Free Tip for Jumpers So if I don't bi-wire, can I insert the red banana up to the tweeter and the black banana up to the base midrange without damaging my speakers? My speakers are Linn Nexus with factory copper jumpers. | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 vs iPhone plugged directly to integrated amp - why no difference? I own the Eversolo A8. Originally, I used it in front of my Audible Illusions preamp. I was amazed at the inprovement when I took the preamp out of the chain and used the XLR inputs from the A8 to my amp. I find the A8 internal preamp sounds great... | |
| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo @Troutstream I checked our Kit Walker and it's produced by Andy Narrell. He plays steel pans and his albums are some of the best sounding recordings I own. Highly recommend his Little Secrets album from 1989. It has the legendary Bernie Grundman ... | |
| Subwoofer Suggestions Make sure the sub you choose hs line level inputs. Do a search to see the wiring diagram. This takes the hard to drive low frequencies load from the receiver and uses the powered subs amp to drive the lows. I think this set up provides better dyna... | |
| Eversolo or Aurender: Options and Opinions I forgot to mention the A8 has an equalizer for active room adjustment. | |
| Eversolo or Aurender: Options and Opinions I've been using the ever solo A8 since it was available. I've never had any trouble with the software and it's always been very solid and easy to use. The DAC sounds better to me then my gustard r26. The internal analog preamp replaced my Audible ... |
