| Looking for a new Turntable and need some advice. I have a suggestion that is less costly than some of your stated interests and IMHO far exceeds the musicality of the Rega P9. The new Well Tempered Amadeus is a superb turntable system for $2850. For my auditioning it was far more musical than th... | |
| How to Increase Turntable Height on High WAF Rack Restock - Let me offer a belated thanks for the heads up about the Stereophile review. I have since heard the Ayre/DPS with Mr. Bauer's new tonearm specifically designed for his table. It is a unipivot design and a thing of beauty, both sonically ... | |
| High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more Great topic and replies so far (for the most part). Fewer (actually preferably no) personal insults would be even better, but still a great topic. | |
| High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more Shindo Latour, Auditorium 23 Solovox, and Omega Max Hemp. | |
| Looking for a preamp............... The already mentioned Quicksilver would be a very good match with your other system components. | |
| recommendations for TT + arm + cart, around $3.5k The Well Tempered Amadeus (which includes a phenomenal tonearm) and an Ortofon 2M Black MM cartridge are just toward the upper end of your price range and will equal or better TT/cartridge combos costing far, far more. My opinion, of course. YMMV. | |
| WOW Aerial 10T vs. B&W 801II/III 10T's need power to really show what they are capable of. Think on the order of at least 300 wpc into 8 ohms. They can be bi-wired or bi-amped. Another consideration is room placement. They need to be at least 3 to 4 feet from the rear wall and at... | |
| Help me start off right in the reel to reel realm Mepearson et al,Thank you for your thoughtful responses. It is clear that I need to become much more familiar with the technical aspects of this playback venue, then "choose my poison" (;->) as I do not want to go with 2 decks. I will study up ... | |
| Help me start off right in the reel to reel realm Thank you all for the responses so far and the guidance. As I feared, I do not know enough (yet) to ask a question that is focused enough.In example, Mepearson - You asked me about TP type tapes versus 7.5" 4 track tapes, or both. I don't even kno... | |
| Dynavector DV XX-2 MK II + SME 309 + ???? Maz65,You are welcome. I really don't have another TT suggestion that I know of to be better than the Amadeus AND within your stated price range. Having said that, I suspect that my comment might trigger some feedback from others who have heard bo... | |
| DPS/Ayre Turntable does anyone know anything I have owned this turntable with a RB300 arm modded by Mr. Bauer for several months now and I am thrilled with it. I am using it with an EMT JSD5 cartridge and Aud23 SUT into a Shindo Masseto. This is vinyl heaven! I recently heard the table set u... | |
| Dynavector DV XX-2 MK II + SME 309 + ???? I have the Well Tempered Amadeus in one of my systems and it is fitted with the exact same cartridge you just bought. It is a great combination, and the Amadeus performs WAY beyond its price point. The basic table is $2850; you can spend an extra ... | |
| Help Me Choose Better 5-Channel Amp Well, you have all given me a lot of good ideas to think about and research. I believe I will keep my A5 and use it for the center and rears, then add a high quality 2-channel amp for the FR and FL. After researching all of the ideas offered, I lu... | |
| Looking to upgrade my preamp - suggestions? Another very strong vote for the Shindo Aurieges. A 2nd choice would be the line-level Leben. Both should be available used within your price range. Either one could easily be the last preamp you will ever buy. Yes, they are that good! | |
| Best $2000-$3000 full range speaker? I have heard the exact pair of Max Hemps that is on sale on the Gon. They are mint and sound superb! And no, they are not mine. |
