| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Actually, this is a great analogue question - Most RIAA equalizers are designed for roll off about the same place as a full range speaker. Here's the wierd part - records can and do go lower. I would be curious if anyone knows why this is even tho... | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? Nagra reel to reel. | |
| Subtlety ? do any American amps do it? Yeah... I know what you mean. VPI or my Spacedeck? Easy. Manchester United or the Yankees? Again, easy. 'Vette or Lotus S2? No question. But when it comes to Cary or Wright I gotta go with the US. Like the laid back style of those two - maybe it's... | |
| BAT vs Pass Labs Amp Although the Pass is a solid state amp, the basic layout and design is very similar to a single ended, zero feedback tube amp like the Cary 805's for instance. | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? When I first had to do something pro, this was my first experience - back in college. I boggled at how life-like and artifact free that first master was. | |
| Tonearm - Incognito VS Origin Live Leaving out the eternal bearing vs. unipivot arguement, why not go with Nottingham's arm? I here great things about it. If you don't like the wiring, you can change it out. And in theory it should have more synergy with the table... | |
| Helikon or Shelter 501/901 ? I like them both but I think they're different. The 90x is a great step up, but, mot people seem to think the 901 and Helicon are comparable but differently flavored - also, your expereience seems dead on the money. uestion of tastes I guess. | |
| Aries turntable with JMW -10 tonearm Get your Dynavector from Juki here on 'gon he has them out of Hong Kong for CHEAP. XX-2's are like $800. | |
| Paper Cones in HiFi? Used to have a pair of paper cone full range speakers. Spectrums, I think they were Dutch, taken over by Fisher at some point. Great speakers. They had been my grandfather's with an old NAD integrated. Both came out of a screening room at CBS 60 M... | |
| Help with what's wrong with my 300b amp? agree with perfectionist; it does sound like a bad capacitor | |
| Heavy Kit / Power Supply upgrade for Nottingham? Considering my upgrade path... is the hyperspace worth the extra money? anyone gone from the Space to the Hyper? Not to derail... | |
| Lyra Dorian - Opinion? Yeah, I like how even and reserved they are. They always seem like they have a little more to give back there somewhere. | |
| Music for "Tough Times" Like the PJ and Nick Cave references... Flaming Lips after midnight on Sundays works for me. The Harder They Come and Jackie Brown. Are soundtracks too lame? Junior Murvin and Desmond Decker always make me feel better. Bob Mould. Jayhawks. Yo La T... | |
| Lyra Dorian - Opinion? Anyone know where you can get a Lyra the same way you can with the Dynavector out of Hong Kong or anywhere? I have had exactly the same question about the Dorian as an entry place, and based on the Helicon and good review I may just go for it. Any... | |
