| My current Benz-Micro ACE low or Koetsu Black? Ooops, didn't mean to exclude Doug from the "good advice" category. He must have posted as I was writing. | |
| My current Benz-Micro ACE low or Koetsu Black? Wow, KurtTank, Tom, and Jean have all really banged the nail on the head for you, Mark. Good advice. I have tried both of the cartridges you mention. The Ace is a pleasing cartridge, as you say, and though maybe not "better" than the Black, this i... | |
| Lowther speakers for Fisher X-202-B? My apologies. I was pretty certain that wasn't what you meant. It seemed that you drew a comparison of the Coincidents to the Lowthers and mentioned that the Lowthers invoked a sense of live music better than most others youd heard. Then you said... | |
| Lowther speakers for Fisher X-202-B? Is that another way of saying you find Vandersteens horrifically upfront and bright, Joe? Just asking. | |
| McCormack pres/amps and Steve's mods Given the extra dough, I'd love to have a clone to my DNA-225 to do just that. | |
| McCormack pres/amps and Steve's mods I will agree with both the Swampwalker and Phd with respect to the 0.5.I have had both tube and SS preamps with my McCormack DNA-225. There are wonderful possibilities, either way, in addition to passives. My only caveat would be to make sure you ... | |
| Graham Phantom vs the Graham 2.2 Larry, am I experiencing a weird sense of deja vu, or did that last post of yours appear yesterday and then reappear today? I know I'm losing my mind, but this is spooky! :-) | |
| how did you find "the gon" From a retailer who once carried a deep line of two-channel audio products but was forced to cater to the HT business in order to feed his family. I will withhold his name, lest he face recriminations! :-) | |
| Advice on upgrading phono stage I've had both the XOno and the K&K as mentioned by Ozzy in my system - with a Spacedeck/Spacearm/Benz Ref2, among other cartridges. No real contest. The K&K is better - more liquid and at the same time spacious. Better top to bottom. Plus,... | |
| Graham 2.2 tonearm cables I agree fully with SS with respect to the damping fluid. I almost gave up on my 2.2 before critically experimenting with the fluid level. | |
| How about a "Remember This?" forum AudioGon? Nice idea for a thread.I've asked this a couple of times but NEVER received a response from someone who recalled a system of speakers I once had (of course, there could be other reasons for no responses!). :-)During the "Quad Days", in about 1976,... | |
| LP collection management...what do you guys do? Wow, you must have posted while I was writing. Seems like we are in at least partial agreement. | |
| LP collection management...what do you guys do? Yes, I agree Tvad, my only point was that if you complain about the nature of posts, maybe offer a suggestion or solution. So, your point is well taken and it extended mine. :-)Jsujo, I have always been generally loathe to part with LP's I've acqu... | |
| LP collection management...what do you guys do? Does anybody complaining about the posts of others offer useful suggestions of their own? | |
| Building an equipment rack from scratch Good to hear regarding the VTI racks. They used to be very common on E-Bay and I almost bought one once. Sight unseen, I always questioned if they were junk trying to use a name that sounded like VPI. |
