| TT suggestion in the $7 - 10K range? Stringreen, all is good. I settled on the Sound Smith VPI Zephyr, which I understand was designed with the VPI Classic in mind -- or so I heard. The DV 20X worked ok too, but the Zephyr is better. I suspect that low compliance/heavy carties work b... | |
| TT suggestion in the $7 - 10K range? Just a thought about the VPI uni-pivot turntables. If you pull my posts, you will see that I own the VPI Classic 1 (w/Classic 3 arm wand). My bottom line opinion: if you can find a carty that matches well with the JMW unstabilized uni-pivot set up... | |
| Which power amplifier match audio research ref 3 I used to own the Ref 3 and now the Ref 5. My companion amp is the ARC VS 115. The match is naturally terrific. I am sure if you read through the various OPs on the Forum, you will undoubtedly see many Ref 3 owners who swear by their non ARC-amp m... | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 and Krell amps Sfstereo, where can I learn more about the Ref 5 SE. This is the first I heard about it. Is the upgrade done by ARC?? | |
| The amazing new Marigo Evolution Signature Mat Rob, would placing the mat under other gear make a difference, e.g., pre, TT etc? | |
| klipsch vs paradigm vs bryston vs classe?? Help I own Paradigm Sig 8 v2. IMHO, an under-appreciated tremendous audio bargain in audiophile land. Check my posts where I listed a web site that ranked the top 25 speakers. The S8s came in at number 7!! Pretty impressive when you consider the compet... | |
| Sad news for VPI - from their Facebook page... Raphuah slaima. | |
| The amazing new Marigo Evolution Signature Mat I consider Rob a friend and very knowledgeable. He owns a top flight system, two actually. If Rob recommends checking out the mat, for 200 bucks, it's a no-brainer. Just sayin' | |
| Ref 3 Impedence Mismatch HELP please Sgr, pull my old OPs that considered a very similar problem, in some ways even worse than what you have. I used to own a Ref 3 and now a Ref 5. A fellow by the name of Tom Tutay built a custom impedance buffer for me.Admittedly, it is principally ... | |
| Anyone used VS-110 with KT120 for extended period? Bjesien, sorry but IMO, your comment is a bit hyped. As stated, I own a VS-115, which has KT-120 tubes. During the summer, I retubed the amp with the fresh KT-120s. Some time after, I blew a bias resister. The tube appeared to work (probably arced... | |
| I currently have a ARC ph-5 phono stage Anyone compare the PH-7 to the PH-6 or PH-8? | |
| Analog Gurus - What cartridge after Grado Ref 1??? A post-script to my last post. I'm sure there are many folks who justifiably maintain very positive opinions about Grado carties. Having said that, it has been my personal experience and that of others as well that many Grados carties have hum pro... | |
| Analog Gurus - What cartridge after Grado Ref 1??? Ravi, if you pull my old OPs, you will see I went through cartridge Hell to find something that worked with my TT/arm combo. During my carty travels, I tried a number of cartridges that were within your price range and that have been well received... | |
| How do we remember 1970s amplifiers? Not trying to be argumentative. As I mentioned above, I used to own Crown gear. As I recall, it was considered SOTA in its day. I beieve it was top rated by J. Gordon Holt's Stereophile (before it accepted advertising) back in the 70s and was used... | |
| How do we remember 1970s amplifiers? Back in the 70s, I used to own a Crown IC 150 pre and DC 300 amp. Speakers were Infinity 2000a electrostats (tweeters). TT was a Thorens TD 160 w/ Ortofon cartridge. I loved that system and had it for more years than I can remember. The Crown gear... |
