| Mo Fi box sets BTW - Anyone know what a mint UHQR copy of Crime of the Century is worth these days? | |
| Mo Fi box sets Guess it depends on the whims of the marketplace. I was able to purchase the Sinatra box set on eBay a couple of weeks ago for $ 350, including shipping. Amazingly enough...it is in mint condition (except for a tiny scuff mark on the 3rd LP)...AND... | |
| Duke Ellington CD Recommendations Try Jazz Party In Stereo and Ellingon Indigoes as well | |
| Alternative feet for LINN LP-12 On my path to a Mana set-up w/ the 3 M Bump On feet, I sold my Trampoli and had to make do w/ what I had on hand. BDR cones were awful. Very hard, etched sound under the LP12. Sorbothane feet from AQ were horrible too (the bottom end was way smear... | |
| Cable Supenders - Anyone Try Vibrapods? Sean - good tip. Will look into that. Still haven't heard a good reason for why ceramic is better, though. If the principle is to isolate the cables from the static electricity generated by the carpet and ceramic is good because it's a good insula... | |
| muse 9 to Signature upgrade, worth it? I went from an 8/296 combo to a Signature. Well worth the $$. Look at it this way...you won't be ab;e to do better for agrand plus whatever you get for your second hand 9. | |
| Shelf Material - Neuance Redwiki et al - I received my first Neuance shelf last week and installed it last Sunday under my LP12 on a Mana rack. Have been quite paient and not done a lot of listening to it so as not to prejudge it. Once I get a read on it under the LP12, p... | |
| Payment by paypal,keep your records Always send Money ORders via Certified Mail and insured for the face value. Well worth the few x-tra dollars. As for shipping gear, I always use USPS Priority Mail, insured AND with Delivery Confirmation. Better be safe than sorry! After being bur... | |
| Lyra Lydian or Benz L2 for a Linn Table The Klyde is not bad at all...just needs expert set-up. However, I have the same anaolog gear you have and IMHO the Linto does not have enough gain for the 150uV Klyde. If you want to go the Linn route, keep in mind the Linto was designed to mate ... | |
| Buying from outside the United States? I bought an expensive pair of speaker cables from Lituania, routing paymnet via Audio Note in the UK. No problems whatsoever, no customs issues at all. | |
| Speaker Cable Lengths - W/ Monos My mono blocks sit right under my stand-mounted speakers. Because the stands are quite tall, the amps are nowhere near the first reflection point. You cna also put them behind or to the side. Depends on the speakers. You of course do not want to b... | |
| Linnn Linto Linto + Klyde is an awesome combo. Not AT ALL cold, but then again I have tubed pe amp and amps. Gets WAY better when you put it on a Phase 4 Mana and remove the LP12's bottom plate. | |
| Linn/ tonearm cables 3402 (?) - The work was done by a former Linn dealer. I did not try other cables (yet!). | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" After my experiences this weekend listneing to AQ Clear Se, AZ Satori and AQ Dragon SE in my system...I'm afraid I don'd but this. In a high rez system, differences between cables are very much audible. | |
| Carl hears through Diamond I use Diamond X3's throughout my system, as well as AQ Dragin SE cables. Burn-in on a Mobie was a godsend. No contest. Brand new Diamonds were cold and harsh. A week on a Mobie gets you to what Carl is describing. Yes, you can get there by playing... |
