| 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. |
