| Best Subwoofer for Quad 2805 under $5k The JL subs will work well, but you might want to consider the latest BalancedForce subs from Martin Logan. They are designed to integrate well with their electrostatic speakers and retail at $2,995 (210) or $3,995 (212). With their optional Perfe... | |
| Shindo? Shindo gear has cult like following, and is designed and best used in a system approach. Many users do however just use their preamps with other equipment. It has a very pure sound quality that is quite different from the majority of other gear, s... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Rather than pure pink noise, you might want to use the CASCADE burn-in track provided for free from TARA Labs. | |
| Phono preamp with two inputs: two MMs or MM+MC? The Audia Flight Phono has two independent phono inputs, and can be ordered configured as MM/MM, MC/MM, or MC/MC. | |
| Anyone heard PSB Imagine T3? I would not describe the PSB Imagine T3 speakers as having a soundstage that starts 3 to 4 feet behind the speaker's front and goes back from there, if I understand your desire correctly. While it's not overly forward or aggressive sounding, its s... | |
| Anyone heard PSB Imagine T3? Not being a professional reviewer I don't feel like I'm conveying just how good the Imagine T3s are. I find them to perform well beyond any previous speakers from PSB, many of which have been award winning models. Since they are such a new model t... | |
| Anyone heard PSB Imagine T3? Milpai - I find them to be an exceptional value, but selecting speakers is a very subjective endeavor. Any further description that I provide would still require you to hear and compare them for yourself with the rest of your planned system. Compo... | |
| Well Tempered bearing old vs new I apologize for confirming that the old and new bearings both have five contact points, as that may have apparently changed in the newer designs as pointed out by Mr-m. | |
| Well Tempered bearing old vs new Oregonpapa - Good lead on the replacement belt available from OL. They are a first class operation and very reputable. I run their top of the line Enterprise-C tonearm and it is superb. | |
| Well Tempered bearing old vs new The answer to your first question is yes, both designs have five contact points which support the platter bearing. I do not think that you could use the newer thread belts on one of the older tables since the pulley design is different for a flat ... | |
| Anyone heard PSB Imagine T3? I have already given my impressions above. FYI, a full review is scheduled to appear in the upcoming issue 255 of The Absolute Sound. | |
| Pro-ject Xtension 10 vs. VPI Prime vs. Amadeus Just a minor correction regarding the VPI Prime, while it was initially introduced at a special $3,500 price it has been $3,800 since the beginning of 2015. | |
| Jeff Rowland Bombaywalla - Your post was factually correct, but I felt it could use some further clarification after you stated: "Ask Rowland if driving 1.5 Ohms in bridged mode will be an issue." I thought as Guido stated that this could be interpreted as if ... | |
| NAD M51 DAC high-pitched ringing? Have you tried keeping everything else the same with a different amp? It's possible that the ringing you are hearing when music is playing is due to an issue with the Jolida amp like having microphonic tubes. I would try to eliminate the Jolida to... | |
| Jeff Rowland Guido is absolutely correct, he beat me to it in pointing that out. |
