| Setting up old Pro-ject turntable. I think if you spend 500 new it won't be much better. I would either fix it up, lubricate, align and new cartridge, or spend 1k in the used market. | |
| BI WIRE EXPERIENCE DARK SIDE How could directivity be a factor when music signal is AC??!! | |
| Speakers with closest sound of Tannoy KensingtonGR The Kensington would work in your room no problem. They don't have rear ports so they don't overwhelm rooms as much as others their size. Nothing else really sounds like a Tannoy IMHO. Maybe harbeth but they are not point source. The fact that the... | |
| 6922 tube selection The tube store in Canada is another with a stellar reputation. They had a very good deal on telefunken 7dj8's. I have also had excellent service from Andy at vintage. | |
| Why are records still warped? Downunder, I too think that 180 g is the culprit. The thinner stuff would be flexible and spring back and the heavy stuff assumes a warp | |
| Herron VTPH-2 Phono Preamp Czbbcl I'm pretty sure you can switch the tubes yourself for different gain. I have done it and noticed no ill effects. I'm using a Lyra Delos and the combo is rich and detailed. | |
| Burning question 20k would get a heck of an analog rig. Why bother with an approximation ;) | |
| Aesthetix vs. Allnic vs. ARC ph7 Sbrown not really a fair comparison, the IO is a lot more money. Which Herron did you compare the rhea to? The op should also know that you could spend the cost of a used car just retubing a rhea with good nos tubes. They are known to be noisy and... | |
| Dynavector XX-2 MK2 vs Shelter 901 MK2 If I had 2k to spend I would buy a Lyra Delos. | |
| Aesthetix vs. Allnic vs. ARC ph7 You should definitely consider the Herron. I AB'd it against the aesthetix rhea signature and it was no contest. The Herron was far more open and natural sounding. | |
| sound-Smith VPI Counter Intuitive Exactly. I use putty to dial in the last little bit and it works well. You get it. Erg close to VTf but bang on with azimuth then you drop little bits of putty on either end until you have VTf bang on. | |
| LAMM2.1 with Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Speakers I own yorkminsters and have the sophia 845. Sounds beautiful together and has loads of power. Goes nice and deep with much more character than ss bass. I also built a pair of 300b that I run as well. They also sound good but feel like they are wor... | |
| Tannoy Yorkminster vs Canterbury Just stumbled across this and figured I would post an update. Still living happily with the Yorkies and continually amazed at their ability to excell at all genres. When I here other peoples setups often I am left underwhelmed at the "thin" presen... | |
| Tannoy Arden - any comment? Stingreen you are right as far as the older ones go. Newer ones are state of the art speakers that sound better than most anything out there. From a satisfied Yorkie owner. | |
| Lampizator question Buy an ayre. They provide updates at reasonable pricing and sound amazing for half the money. I bought my dac as a demo for 1800 6 years ago and now with the dsd update I could get 2400 for it. What they are charging for new lampizators is obscene... |
