| Best 'Gon humor Audio is serious stuff.There is no place for humor. | |
| Esoteric P5/D5 Opinions please >>why would you settle for an X-03se when you can afford better units.<<No intention of starting a war here but sometimes value becomes a consideration. Player Y might be better than player X but at what cost and how much better is it?... | |
| Best speaker for small room? The smaller Paradigms are very good values. You won't need to spend $1500 as well. | |
| What is the best DAC under $2000 and why? The Kora Hermes at slightly over $1000 used is a great buy IMO.Much more natural sounding to my ears than the Benchmark. | |
| esoteric x-03 se vs x-01 ltd >>how about going from x-03 se to p5/d5 ?how big is difference?<<Depends largely on the other system components and your listening skills.Dealer disclosure. | |
| Avalon Eidolon and Krell, good match or not? I agree with Dave_b except for the in and out. | |
| Upgrade turntable, arm or cartridge? Great cartridge.Tonearm/turntable mismatch. | |
| 'they blew'em off the stage' I saw New York Dolls and Aerosmith in October 1973; both of them smoked the opening act, Mott the Hoople.I enjoy Mick Ralphs and Ian Hunter but Mott is a very overrated band in the annals of rock and roll history. | |
| Wilson WP 8 or Sonus Amati Anniversary? Cables choice is a determinant of whatever sounds and works best in your system.Not what somebody else says "should be".That shows a complete misunderstanding of the cables' role in a system. | |
| Hadcock tonearms on a Technics SL1210 I generally don't comment on products in my line but wanted to address a concern posted earlier.During George Hadcock's lengthy illness (he passed away last year) there was an occasional problem in worksmanship. He was a very proud man and refused... | |
| Driven to Tears >>nothing like a western road 'trip'<<Yup.Coyotes and peyotes. | |
| First used turntable +- $20,000. Any suggestions? A "top of the line" combination of components is no guarantee and/or predictor of any listener's expectations or results for that matter.You will learn this through more listening experience. | |
| First used turntable +- $20,000. Any suggestions? Follow up to my previous post.I sell Thorens turntables and a couple of the most expensive models are available with SME tonearms.However, I am not an SME dealer and do not sell the tonearms separately.In fact, I do have an "association" albeit in... | |
| First used turntable +- $20,000. Any suggestions? I suppose any tonearm with the wrong table/cartridge could sound "mechanical".However, across the board I find SME tonearms to be extremely well built (far better than Origin/Rega), neutral, highly reliable, and compatible with a wide variety of c... | |
| Ortofon 2M Black- Graham 1.5/Rega/Origin Silver The 2M series work very well with low to medium effective mass tonearms.I would not use it in the Rega (Origin) tonearms; it is a bad match. The resonant frequency of 7.23Hz is not a "little" low. It is low; substantially below the magical 10Hz bo... |
