| Krell KPE vs. Aesthetx IO Sig. I think one of the reasons the dealers are suggesting the BAT is that it is a great phono preamp, and maybe they are swaying you for the dealer sell. When I was on the hunt for my phono amp, I took almost two years, I demoed the ASR, listened to t... | |
| Krell KPE vs. Aesthetx IO Sig. Radrog, Did you get the two power supply option? I am considering doing that upgrade this year sometime. The IO Sig is an awesome sounding phono amp and I have had many a pleasant listening hours with it. I owul suggest that you have some spare tu... | |
| How To Add A Sub To B&W N802's I use a B&W ASW 850 sub with the Velodyne SMS-1 sub controller. I have B&W 800's with this setup and run them full range. I cross the sub at 40hz and have experimented with al the options on the sub EQ to arrive to where I am at right now.... | |
| Good sounding 70's live LPs... I have to say that the Supertramp Live in Paris and the Allman brothers band, Live the Philmore East (classic 200gram) are one of the best live LP's I have heard. I need to dog out the waiting for Columbus by Little Feat and give that a spin. Audi... | |
| Has anyone used the Klangmodul breakers? Hi, I responded to your post over at the AA. The breaker panel in the states must be modded to fit these. They take up two places compared the normal German size. | |
| Does it really get any better than the Raven AC ?? I think from Transrotor, the Transrotor Apollon that I wrote a review on has an equal footing in the performance area when equipped with the 3 motors, TMD, 80MM aluminum platter and special heavy duty quartz controlled outboard speed controller. T... | |
| Is the market changeing? I heard an article yesterday on the AM show and they were talking about how Chinese workers were demanding higher wages, more rights and developing unions such as in the states. The show was interesting in the way they conveyed the fact depsite th... | |
| Aesthetix IO tube rolling experiment at Area 51 I know people keep saying that, once you do NOS you never go back..., haha. I am keeping self control over wanting to try any NOS right now, but for how long? Cheers,Audioquest4life | |
| Aesthetix IO tube rolling experiment at Area 51 I thought my experiences would be helpful to some people. As there were so many writeups about using NOS tubes with these products, but nothing with the newer tubes I decided to investigate for myself. The tubes I used were all matched pairs, so i... | |
| Aesthetix IO Sig tube rolling/initial impressions Hello all, I took the tube rolling route based on availability of newer tubes vs. prices and availability of NOS. The older tubes seem to be getting even more scarce and the prices higher. I personally do not have time to search high and low for v... | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? I would love to commend Jonathin Valin for his review and detailed remarks about the Raven AC. The review was well thought out and of course was thought provocative for some, hey, we don't all agree about the same wine or champagne do we? I apprec... | |
| Blue Note 45rpm reissue I feel lucky to have the opportunity to purchase such great re-issues at a decent price compared to the price gouged ones we see on e-pay. That being said, I ordered from both collections. Now the wait. I praise anyone taking a chance to conduct r... | |
| How do you know when to replace the stylist? Usually it starts out with a slight degradation in cymbals, or some sybilance in sounds, then outright distortion with various types of music. It will appear at first as if the needle is dirty and trying to clean it will not change the sound. Try ... | |
| High End Isolation - HRS, SRA, Active platforms The Copulare equipment racks are considered exotic and have a nice system to isolate vibrations using lead/sand wooden filled platforms and the base of the racks filled with the same thing. You can customize the fills with quartz sand, lead sand o... | |
| Transrotor Fat Bob S or ZET 3.1. Differences???? Last turntable purchase, wow, I did the same thing a few years ago when I purchased the Transrotor Apallon. In Germany there is almost a cult following for the Transrotor Fat Bob S, it can be modded way beyond the standard configuration. The Raven... |
