| Review: Shure M97xE Cartridge Thank you Ed, a perfect review and fair assessment of the bargain priced Shure M97xE cartridge.I was shocked at how good the Shure V15 was on my Lenco, and now after reading your review, suspect the M97 is equally stunning for the dollar.This revi... | |
| New tubes, possible matching difficulties Are you sure the driver is 6SN7 and not 6SL7 like the Aurora?If 6SL7 there is a US Military tube that will make more difference than all the other tube rolling combined. Check and let me know. | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Pat, one request. Even if your feeling on top of the world, please don't post any images of you dressed only in your aviator hat and "birthday" suit. | |
| Thinking about a tube roll to Brimar or Telefunken I prefer the Telefunken 12AX7 to all others but getting quiet ones is becoming more and more difficult.For 6922, favorites are Telefunken 6DJ8 and Mullard gold pin 6922 (preferably Mullard with white dot on top).Other tubes for 6922 position that ... | |
| New tubes, possible matching difficulties Please specify what driver tube your Viva uses. I have done some experimentation with the Viva Aurora. | |
| Connect Cassette Deck to a Computer? You need an A to D converter such as the Data Video DAC 100, It will do what you need.It is inexpensive and capable of transferring video to your computer too, should you ever need that function. | |
| its all about the music,no way hose Audiodoc, he meant "No way Bose" not No way Hose. I agree, the music could never be important enought to listen on Bose. | |
| Wadia 861se vs All others. Several great DAC's don't upsample. In addition to the Zanden you already mentioned, there is the (Kondo-San) Audio Note and 47 Labs. All three of these are great DAC'S. Although I have not heard your Altis I seriously doubt it deserves being call... | |
| Line Arrays - Competitive with best dynanics, ESL? I love the Dali and the Kharma. Without a doubt the best two best sounding rigs of all my friends and contacts. The guy that has the Kharma Exquisite owned the Dynaudio Evidence a couple of years ago and I could live with that speaker too. It was ... | |
| Line Arrays - Competitive with best dynanics, ESL? Albertporter - What dynamic speakers did you own? What compelled you to move to the Sound Labs? Can you compare/contrast the pros/cons of the Dalis relative to the Soundlabs?Since the late 1960's when I was still in school, until now: Bozak B-4000... | |
| Most beautifull turntables today.... Albert, I wish I shared your admiration for the aesthetics of my table. Try as I might, it still has a face only a mother can love. Do you still have your Dalis? I need to pick yer brain again as I am thinking of going back to a second power suppl... | |
| Most beautifull turntables today.... FmpndI think mine is the ugliest!!! Does that count? Maybe knida like a Pug - so ugly it's cute?I have an SME30. Looks like crap, sounds like a dream.Am I the only guy at Audiogon that likes the looks of the SME? I think it's design is beautifully... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Sony 9000es as transport, running into Scott Nixon tube DAC. Surprisingly good and very inexpensive. | |
| Line Arrays - Competitive with best dynanics, ESL? I am a convert, having owned six traditional cone type loudspeaker systems before discovering Sound labs. The A-1 (and later) Ultimate 1 Sound Labs had every modification and tweak possible done to them and were my absolute favorite, maintaining t... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Pat (quoting you)One thing for sure, of all the fine folks I've met personally here at Audiogon I think I'm most like Albert. I bothers me NOT if a record is less than audiophile grade IF the music moves me. I demand my system to allow me to enjoy... |
