| Masseto break-in time Dr John - I am embarrassed to admit I don't know the name of Mr. Bauer's tonearm. He designed it specifically for the Ayre-DPS, but I assume it can be used with other tables. Any Ayre dealer should be able to tell you more. My dealer is Don Better... | |
| Try a different turntable? If the OP/other is inclined to try DD, two other excellent choices are the Luxman PD-441 and the even better PD-444. Very musical. Somewhat hard to come by, though. | |
| does a subwoofer kill stereo sound? Respectfully disagree that subs necessarily exaggerate the lower end. In my experience, the only time this happens is when the crossover is not properly set and/or the output is too high and/or the sub is not properly positioned.Seamless integrati... | |
| Masseto break-in time If it is compatible with your tonearm and you do not mind having to use a SUT, I have found the EMT JSD5 to be terrific with the Masseto. The turntable is the Ayre-DPS with Mr. Bauer's excellent new tonearm. | |
| If you could only keep 5 Lp vinyl which ones 1 thru 3 - Bach Cello Suites; Janos Starker; Mercury4 - Malcolm Frager Plays Chopiin; Telarc5 - Bach: 3 Sonata for Viola Da Gamba & Cembalo; Cervera & Puyan; Philips | |
| Is there a 'Song Painter' loudspeaker? Depending upon the type of music you like to listen to and how deep your pockets are, either the Shindo Latour (~$48K) or the Auditorium 23 Solovox (~$11K). And they must be paired with the best possible electronics, which in my experience means S... | |
| Speakers that excel at depth/layering/space Vandersteen. | |
| Masseto break-in time I really noticed a huge improvement in mine at around 150 hours. Incredible preamp! | |
| 8 ohm speaker that sounds like sonus faber I have been following this thread with interest. One of my systems has a pair of Fidelio Encores. I have heard these speakers sound terrific in 2 rooms in our home and with amplifiers ranging in power from 25 wpc pure class A up to 200 wpc. I am l... | |
| Older PURE CLASS-A Amplifiers Bedini 25/25. If you can find one, buy a lottery ticket the same day. The 25/25 continues to astonish me! | |
| pre and amp ideas 10-12K Budget Another vote for Shindo preamps. I first had the Aurieges paired with an Accuphase P-3000 and also tried it with my Luxman MQ-88 and Nagra PSA. All were superb pairings, and the Aurieges easily bettered my Audio Research Ref 3. All of those combos... | |
| Subwoofer with good monitors I just had installed a REL R-305 in my 2-channel system that has a pair of SF Guarneri Mementos (go down to 39 Hz) driven by an Accuphase P-3000. The room is 19' x' 13' x 8'. Seamless integration. A dramatic improvement. | |
| Mcintosh MCD-500 vs Esoteric X-05 Noticed you have not had any responses yet so I thought I would share my experience with my three SACD/CD players, one of which is the MCD-500, the others being the Marantz SA-11S2 and the Ayre C-5xeMP. All are excellent at both redbook and SACD, ... | |
| Best Amp/Preamp Combo-10M, 15M, 20M The best Shindo preamp and amplifier(s) you can get that will drive your speakers. With that recommendation made, and since you did not stipulate a price range/limit for speakers or share what type(s) of music you listen to and the size of your li... |
