| Replacing my Arcam cd 23 with what?? Bryn, if you like the sound of CD23 there is really only two ways to go, in my opinion - dCS and Museatex. I went dCS first (ended up with their complete pro system) but then had a chance to listen to John Wright's baby. Never changed my DAC ever ... | |
| Review: Denon dp-500m Turntable This is actually a very interesting table with great potential. I replaced tonearm on mine with SME M2 with very good results. | |
| do burnt CD copys sound as good as originals? If a copy is made correctly it could sound better than original. However, this is not an easy process. | |
| Denon DP-500M Turntable? I did not like it. I would get SL1200 instead. | |
| $2k for new Cartridge Benz LP or...... I would have suggested Shelter 901 if it was not too late. | |
| Proac D25's Dave, one always has to remember that frequency does not only depend on equipment, but on room, too. I am not sure I would put D25's into room of this size. While having reasonably decent lows (useful not being in the 20s, but in mid 30s), they co... | |
| Choice Rega P5 or VPI Scout? Bobby, "rude" is a very big word, one should be careful using it. You will have to spend a lot of time trying to find anyone who would find me being rude. Short - yes. But not rude. | |
| Tonearms: the lightest, the best ? This is exactly the way to do this. Just make sure you use common sense. | |
| Choice Rega P5 or VPI Scout? Tfkaudio, he did not ask for a suggestion, he gave two names and asked - which one. I had both and I don't care for either. Thus my (normally too short) answer.I actually think that P5 is a major step down from P25, I've no idea why Rega did this ... | |
| Choice Rega P5 or VPI Scout? Neither. | |
| Ear 834 P, ortofon kontrapunk A, Rega P9 MC transformers in E.A.R. 834 are nothing to write home about, but Kontrapunkt B is good enough cartridge to treat well. I would go for separate transformers in addition to MM-only 834. Ortofon should be OK on RB900, though it works better with he... | |
| Has anyone listened to the Grado Statement ? I have the Statement for some time now and I like it a lot. It has its specialty - female vocals, and that is what I mostly use it for. I would not keep it if it was my only cartridge, but then again I have yet to hear one that I would have as my ... | |
| Is there high output MC that can compete/beat ... Sonata is a very good cartridge, 10x5 is absolutely not going to beat it. You need to do better that that. If talking Dynavector you need to get into at least 20X, but I personally don't like its hight output version, low output sounds much sweete... | |
| best CD player or DAC under $1000 Museatex Bitstream can be bought completely modified for around that much. I doubt there is any DAC out there that sounds better in the similar price range. | |
| Line conditioner - how much power do I need? Herman, are you sure they were talking about Class A amplification?Aggielaw, voltage regulator is normally not a good idea, but in your case you probably should use it. Unless you are using your amp at very high volume even 600V should be fine. |
