| Splendor D9’s.2 vs B&W 803 D2 which I own More imaging and a bit more bass would be nice! The 803’s produce respectable bass but not like the sub power GE Triton 1’s or my Cornwall’s with 15” woofer. The Corns produce the best bass of all the speakers I’ve owned. I’ll play around with pla... | |
| Splendor D9’s.2 vs B&W 803 D2 which I own I appreciate the feedback @milpai. My room is 26x13 with a vaulted ceiling that goes from 8’ to 9’ to 4’ behind my listening couch. My speakers are 9’ apart and my listening position is 9’ away. There are a pair of D7’s listed in Houston and might... | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above I read recently that a low capacitance cable also help with carts. Any suggestions other than Fire IC’s that make good RCA to RCA phono IC’s? | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above @pani limited dynamics could be a product of the table. I guess the only way to know would be to bring another one in my system to compare so need to see if I can swing that financially. Would be fun to do an A/B test. Maybe that’s what I’ll do wi... | |
| Splendor D9’s.2 vs B&W 803 D2 which I own Thanks for your feedback, soix! | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above Not fussy is one of the attributes I like about the 1200G too. I would say it’s neutral. I think dynamic is the descriptor where I’m looking for more. But, other things could contribute to that like cart, preamp, speakers, etc. I listened to a cou... | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above Yes, I agree, the 1200G arm is no slouch. If I wanted to upgrade I’ve learned of some nice arms to upgrade through this thread. In a previous post on this thread I mentioned having a AQ Earth IC on demo and would move it from the table to my phono... | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above What’s the feedback on the 1200G arm vs. the SME V arm on the Sota I’m considering? The owner also says the Sota has the electronic fly wheel and along with the latest generation motor. How would the latest fly wheel and motor compare to what’s of... | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above No DIN. RCA on back. Been thinking about getting better IC’s for the TT/Phono Preamp/Amp. Not ready to spend $4,500 on one pair of interconnects. I’m demoing a pair of Earth I think makes a difference in my system but haven’t hooked them up to my ... | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above “I think you should spend $ on Fire Level or better IC out of table and phono, different cartridge and isolation for table. Maybe not in that order.” @tomic601 are you referring to AQ Fire interconnects? I couldn’t find a Fire Level interconnect d... | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above Thanks for sharing the sound hi fi link, @rogerstaton. Definitely something to consider. Always learn something new on Audiogon. | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above @tomic601 i was thinking of upgrading my IC’s to phono preamp to amp. I just leaned about lower capacitance IC’s for TT’s, so they got me thinking if that could make an improvement. I have my 1200G on a Auralex isolation platforms for TT’s. Probab... | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above Thank you for the tonearm info. I have a Cadenza Black on this table. I need to double check if it’s a good compliance match. | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above I’ve been looking at carts this evening. Looking to stay in the $3K + - range. Does anyone know the effective mass on the 1200 G arm? | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above There is some compelling info shared here on both options. I’ve learned of some good options of tonearms I’ve never heard before. Searches for 1200 tone arm replacements have yielded so-so results. But, all these tone arms look to be around $5K? $... |
