| Tube preamp with cinema bypass?? Most of the VAC preamps have cinema by-pass. | |
| Best Tonearm Match for Shelter 901 Whoops - I didn't realize (prior to posting) that Moerch is a unipivot design and would fall into the category of "not" being the best option for a low compliance cartridge like the Shelter. I think I'll look elsewhere...Speaking of elsewhere, I'm... | |
| Best Tonearm Match for Shelter 901 TWL - thanks for the great response. While it may be the preferred method, I'm still new to this and easily freaked out by things like the "thread and weight" method of setting up the anti-skate bias. Perhaps the only way to overcome that "fear" i... | |
| Best Tonearm Match for Shelter 901 Hi Twl... I knew it was you who mentioned the Graham not working with the Shelter --- but I just didn't want to mention any names. :)Thanks for the fantastic reply. It is very much appreciated.I've looked at the OL Arms and find them to be very in... | |
| If your CD's are harsh, try this Cdc is correct (not about the analog part) but I have noticed that some CD-R's do sound better - less edgy - than the originals.Some digital dude told me a few weeks ago (not sure how true it is) that some CDs were produced out of phase and puttin... | |
| CD Players with Analogue Sound Audiomeca Mephisto IIx -- the new kid on the block -- I presume this will be the top dog IMHO. I don't believe there are any in the US yet, but they will be here very soon.With its upgraded power supply, I expect this unit to have increased impact... | |
| More plinth questions Bkcme - I enjoyed your post. Mostly because I no longer feel alone.... *I've* been loosing sleep at night, designing Teres plinths in my head. I just cannot stop thinking about it.Soapstone seems like as good a material to use as any I've thought of. | |
| Flipping the LP over ... Cpdunn99. I guess you're lucky Some of the 200 gram Classic Records re-releases are just about the exact same size as the LP12 platter giving you very little to grab ahold of when removing the LP from the table. It's super easy to screw up with th... | |
| Flipping the LP over ... Kinsekd - how many records did you destroy before you figured it out?? :) | |
| Why do AC cords make so much difference? Cables are mysterious ~! But I think I am getting close to figuring it out. There is a great deal more to why power cords effect the sound of a component than simply "cleaning" the power or filtering out all the bad stuff.Applying power to a condu... | |
| ICs for Supratek Pre Hi Jazzdude, Mick is the man and if he told you he's doing fully balanced then he must be - I know the Cortese has come with XLR outputs for a while now but this discussion was regarding the Chardonnay. | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. Ears. None of this really matters without 'em. :) Second most important is room. No system will sound good in the wrong room I don't care what components you have. Third - When it comes to electronics, speakers are the most important. Yes.. yes.. ... | |
| ICs for Supratek Pre Oh.. and if the Supratek has XLR output, I guarantee its not a truly balanced signal. Just get used to using RCA as long as you have the Supratek. I wouldn't trust the XLRs.I agree that XLR's are cooler but truth is single ended cables sound just ... | |
| ICs for Supratek Pre With my Supratek, I've settled on Audio Note Kondo KSL I/C's. A friend (who also has a Supratek) uses Audio Note Kondo AN-Vz. I've tried just about everything (except Jena and Purist) and the IC's I have left are Audio Notes, NBS Statement and FIM... | |
| Flipping the LP over ... I developed a habit of flipping LP's on my LP12 without turning the motor off. It seems this works great with light / thin LP's but... I have ruined a few nice 200 gram LP's when they slipped out of my hands, fell back onto the platter and got all... |
