| What is the best phono preamp you have heard? Phono section in NYAL ncp11, tube power supply. The VAC signature is warmer but quite good also. | |
| How long did it take to get your dream system? Well Im on my third pair of speakers since (1975) turntable, Forsell 1989. Amps, Manley same vintage. Still look at ads but at some point I got satisfied. Diy looks like fun and its less financially intrusive. Sometimes I wonder at all the posts h... | |
| seeking a sound consultant in New York Area As you have only recently purchased what is a good system it may be that the set up is responsible for your lack of satisfaction. Your room is less than ideal in that it is square rather than rectangular and Quads are very sensetive to placement. ... | |
| Contact email or phone for Forsell , There is no email, or tel # anymore. Call Jay Bertrand at Bertrand Audio in New Hampshire for more info. Good luck. | |
| When did it all start? It all started when I bought a Linn, in 73, and heard old Quads well driven. Still have a Linn as a spare and would have old Quads if I had space for a second system. What I heard then is not so far away from what I hear now.. and it was far less ... | |
| VTL MB-125s or comparable single chassis unit? dont change a thing | |
| Cartridge / Tonearm opinions requested... It was/is an Analog. Recently retipped by vandenhul. Baldwin | |
| Cartridge / Tonearm opinions requested... The WB is an accurate and neutral arm that is a little bass shy. This was very noticeable on a Pink Triangle Anniversary table which is as good as most tables out there. Not hard to set up but the vta is not easy to make small changes as it is the... | |
| An arm to live with for years to come The SMEV is not an ideal match for your table. The bass is not accurate or wasnt in my set up. I switched to a Graham with very good results. The Naim aro would also work well, much better than its plain construction would suggest and that would b... | |
| Manley 500 Neo Classic Monoblocks I have used Manley 350 amps for many years and I believe the circuits in current models are very close even as the fit and finish has greatly improved. This is a very good amp that I have not been tempted tochange. I heard the Tenor OTLs and was i... | |
| Anybody any comments on Tannoy Churchill or D12? Have much experience with Churchills and do not think that any Naim amps are an ideal match. The upper midrange works better with tube amps of the VAC/MANLEY/CJ family of sound.Naim amps do not image incredibally well either so the Tannoys would b... | |
| Any Versa Dynamics TT Owners?? Curious about your website. I am a long time owner of the Forsell tt. A flawed product capable of exceptional sound. Would like to correspond. Dean | |
| Best Pre-Amp with Phono Stage The Atma Sphere is a good pre amp, as is the expensive Vac signature. The Cat in its many iterations is a great unit. However the best Ive heard is the 2box NYAL NCP11 which shows up once in a while on ag. The bottom octave is hard to find, as it ... |
