| ARCAM CD73 and CD73T? If you are thinking about purchasing this player, you may want to gather slightly more funds and purchase the cd 23. I had a 73T and it was good. The CD 23 is significantly better and can be had for as low as $700 here on Audiogon. Don't worry abo... | |
| ruined a phillips screw, any inspired solution? Or, if you have a Dremel tool and a steady hand.... use the cutting wheel attachment. Protect the cabinet as you will have small metal bits flying about. Cut a slot in the head of the screw and use a conventional flat head screwdriver to get the s... | |
| VPI super mini feet under VPI Scout ?? Goatwuss (nice tag name) The soundstage is not what it is with the same music through my digital front end. As I am new to vinyl I thought I'd try. Any specific carts from the above manufacturers you would recommend? I'm thinking around $1000 list... | |
| VPI super mini feet under VPI Scout ?? Hmmmmm.... I have some Star Sound points. Do you need cups for those? Or, can you just use them bare, pointing into the rack surface?B | |
| cables for Lavardin/ Living Voice combo ?? Yes indeed, moving the speakers in slightly brought a more cohesive soundstage. I put in my old power conditioner a few days ago and the old beast has done wonders to the sound. I am slowly regaining my audio satisfaction. I'll try further to posi... | |
| cables for Lavardin/ Living Voice combo ?? Well, I have this set up in a small room. 12' x 10' with the speakers on the short wall. 18" from the rear and 15" from the sides. Speakers are toed in quite heavily so that the sound crosses just in front of the listening position as LV suggests.... | |
| Referrence 3A's a good match with Lavardin? I'm splitting up my IS Reference and DeCappo i partnership. If it's the reference 3A's you're wanting then I might try some high quality tubes. I'm going to try Living Voice speakers as I cherish the Lavardin. I understand the WAF as mine does not... | |
| ARCAM CD23 Transformer Buzzzzzzzzz Yup, my transformer has buzzed since day 1. Of course, it's most noticeable when in standby mode. I assume noisy AC will increase this sound. Try fiddling with a dimmer switch nearby (if youhave one). You will notice a change in the tone and ampli... | |
| Rega Saturn versus Resolution Audio Opus 21? So What do you think Ng8? Did you make a good decision? Reference mods? Or regular mods?Cheers,B | |
| Rega Saturn versus Resolution Audio Opus 21? Wow. Odd you should ask this question. I'm looking at upgrading from My Arcam cd 23. The players I was looking at were the ones you mentioned here. I hope there is someone out there who has experienced both players. I'll be watching this post as w... | |
| Reference 3a MM De Capo's vs Totem Sttaf vs LSi9's 'Lush' If you went Totem, the Hawks would be a better option. I think I will definitely seek an audition of the De Capos myself. I personally wasn't impressed by the Moon Nova, so it's good to know your player beats it. | |
| Reference 3a MM De Capo's vs Totem Sttaf vs LSi9's Well, odd enough, I own the I-5080 and Sttaf combo right now, with an Arcam CD 23 front end. You are correct about the shortcomings of the PSB and Paradigm speakers. It seems you have a fetish for Canadian loudspeakers?Keep in mind there is a sign... | |
| Shipping out of the USA MMMM...yes NAFTA. Not alot of 'FREE' in NAFTA. I try and avoid shipping UPS out of the states (i live in Canada) as they show up at your door several weeks late with a bill; for duty (a % of your purchase), tax on duty, provincial sales tax on pur... | |
| Review: Arcam Diva CD72 CD Player From what I understand there will always be audible hiss (ambient noise) which is most apperent at higher volume levels. Try turning down the gain a notch on your preamp, if you have this option. I'll probably pick up that disc this weekend so I w... | |
| Tinnitus - do you have ringing in the ears? Joel. After a concussion in the summer I had Tinnitus for only 3 weeks (thankfully) in my left ear. Female voice and other high pitched freq. caused nasty buzzing. I thought about selling my gear, but rode out the short storm. If this is a persis... |
