| Dual CS515 It is a perfectly decent entry level turntable. Came with an Ortofon OM10 so that works best. Modern Pro-ject Essential, Rega P1 or Elipson Alpha are all vastly better but the Dual is very decent. I bought mine new in 1986 for $150 so don't pay... | |
| Dynaudio Evoke or Focal Aria Or Paradigm Prestige Not sure where you live in Canada (I am in Toronto) but I own all 3 brands and each has a different house sound. Dynaudio is the most neutral, Focal has the best highs and Paradigm always seems to strike a good balance. All 3 work with Yamaha. I ... | |
| Proac Tablette - which version is best at imaging? I have owned a few and they are all really good at imaging but the Tablettte 10 that I own now are fundamentally different. The new one is sealed versus all of the old ones are ported. The new ones are nearly identical in size and shape to LS3/5... | |
| Rega P6/ or Clearaudio Concept, both with same cartridge? I own a Concept current and have owned many Regas including a P5 TT PSU. The tables are night and day.The German table feels better made and is vastly more neutral sounding - great if you listen to a lot of instrumental music (my collection is mo... | |
| Acoustic Signature Primus - any owners? Seriously? No owners? AS has a whole bunch of Stereophile recommended models and this one is quite affordable. I have only seen one in a store but it was not hooked up to listen to (no cartridge). | |
| Cartridge (other than Rega) with Rega RP10 Modern Rega MC cartridges actually sound very good - not at all like the original Apheta. Popular non Rega choices here in the Toronto area include LOMC designs from Dynavector, Hana, Ortofon and Clearaudio.I recent heard the Ania on a new P8 and... | |
| Harbeth vs Graham audio Graham make the real BBC monitors in terms of the LS3/5a (similar to P3) and the LS5/9 (similar to M30). It depends on whether you care about having an actual BBC monitor or the Harbeth versions which to my hears are better for a home based syste... | |
| Harbeth P3ESR or Monitor 30? I run the C7s and I personally love all of the Harbeth speakers. You cannot go wrong with any of them. The M30 however is a reference quality monitor closely linked back to the BBC LS5/9a. I was also a huge fan of Rogers so quite familiar with... | |
| Problem w/Clearaudio Nano phonostage I wonder if the jumpers under the unit are correctly installed?The mm/mc gain is switched by moving the two jumpers on the underside.They are very small and I have accidentally put them on MC when I wanted MM and lost the volume. Also mine has th... | |
| What is your recommendation on upgrading a Linn LP Nothing sounds like a Linn. Get a tuneup, buy a new cartridge. Play records. There are lot of new designs out there that all offer a different sound and all of them are easier to own, but they are not LP12s.If you can upgrade the arm at some point... | |
| Pro-Ject phono preamps? I use the Phonobox 2 and Phonobo 2SE. Both are excellent for the money but I have have two Clearaudio ones.I think the Pro-ject ones are very competent but not exceptional. The RS offers a lot of flexibility but I went for the 2-box Clearaudio Bas... | |
| Montreal vs Toronto for Vinyl shopping Good list - sadly, both locations of Sunrise on Yonge closed earlier this year. | |
| Help deciding which TT Any possibility to add a subsonic filter? Lots of budget phono Pre amps have them too. | |
| Montreal vs Toronto for Vinyl shopping Lots of vinyl in TO. I have 5 shops that are within a 15 minute walk of my downtown office. HMV, and Play de Record at Yonge and Gould. Kops and Amoroso at Queen and McCaul. Around again at Baldwin near McCaul. | |
| mixing brands Nothing for $100 from Nordost and the speaker wire is fairly pricey, even used.At your price point, Audioquest has good options or buy used budget Kimber. |
