| Computer audio, I am not convinced yet ...... >>The guys that have been running USB servers for a while now are going back to CD players. To me, that is abandoning USB.Cerrot, who are "the guys"? And are you certain that ALL of "the guys" abandoning USB servers for CD players, or is you... | |
| If you had a Benz cartridge would you let someone >>No thanks, you're system isn't very interesting compared to ours.Is it just me, or did anyone else read this and think "Wow, what a dick!" | |
| Best of Both Worlds, Hybrid Amps . I have owned a couple of Moscode 300s over the years, and were sorry both times after I sold them. As stock units they were very good amps and they are reasonably pricedon the used market, if not the ultimate in build quality. George Kaye upgrades... | |
| Yamamoto A-08S vs Decware amps Apples and oranges.Are you asking the members of this forum to compare the vendors products (eg. build quality), or are you asking for an opinion on the sound differences between the 45 triode (Yammy) or EL84/SV83/6L6 (Decware)tube types? | |
| Speakers that do pianos really well IMO, no speaker can actually reproduce the tonal range and timbre of an acoustic piano realistically, but some I have heard have come closer than most.To my ears, the old Apogee Full Range Planar was the best at reproducing piano, other EL/planar ... | |
| anybody modded a Sophia music baby? I agree with the above posts, the Baby is a very under-rated amp for the money. I have owned a couple of these, and upgrading the coupling caps provided a modest but noticeable difference in the sound. I found the biggest improvements were upgradi... | |
| Oh, the frustrations of the speaker search Interesting responses so far. Without knowing anything about your room or your gear, but based on your mix of musical preferences I would have suggest you check out the following:1- Vandersteen (new or used, whichever model works in your room)2- (... | |
| It's time for a new button on Audiogon Interesting post and responses. Personally, I will almost never buy anything where the ad lists "price is firm"; not because I think that the item is priced too high (although that is often the case), but because it represents to me a basic inflex... | |
| Opinions - Best Sound at T.H.E. Newport 2013 Show? I agree with the OP - I thought that the Earo room was simply marvelous and sublime. The Ulf speakers sounded great, and the new "Wally" wall-mount units sounded much better than I was expecting. The Dirac room correction made a huge difference, s... | |
| Small Speakers For A Large Room... I will second the recommendation for the KEF LS50, and assuming that you can mate them to the right amp they sound wonderful.Another couple of speaker lines you might consider looking and listening to are the JM Reynaud and Triangle stand mount mo... | |
| OMA Soundsmith Cartridge I have a couple of Schick tonearms, and I use them exclusively with Ortofon SPU and Denon DL-103R (stock and modified) cartridges and I'm extremely happy with the performance.I have tried the OMA/Soundsmith cartridge yet, but if it is like Peter's... | |
| Mounting a Mono cartridge If your mono cartridge has four pins, it's technically a dual-mono cartridge. Just connect it as you would any stereo cartridge. A true mono cartridge (one channel only) will have two pins, and will require a little more work to mount on a standar... | |
| Integrated amp choice for JMR Offrande Supreme V2 I had a pair of original Offrandes for a couple of years. I ultimately sold them because they just didn't work in my small (12 x 14) room, but I think that these are a very special speaker design.I tried a variety of amps with these speakers, but ... | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? After hearing the Zesto Andros PS 1 I would totally endorse that phono stage...totally.It's considered good etiquette on this forum to declare yourself as a dealer for the product that you are schilling. | |
| Turntable with stable speed. I agree w/ all that Drpank said above, except that I would advise the OP to consider a couple of things. It is equally important to (1) drive (accelerate) a platter to the right speed, then to (2) maintain it at that speed, and finally to (3) mini... |
