| Artemis Labs SA-1 Turntable anyone? I owned an SA-1 for a short time. I thought it sounded really good. I used a TriPlanar and not the Schroeder arm. My only concern was the tape drive, I could hear a ticking noise when the tape splice met the pulley. I also felt concerned about the... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 I have owned M40s, M30.2 Anniversaries, and SHL5's I have used in a room 12.5 feet by 22 feet by nine feet high. The M40s, in their original version, were not suited to my room and overwhelmed with bass regardless of placement or even stuffing soc... | |
| Linn Audio Just to clarify my prior post, Mr. Tiefenbrun's intelligence, confidence and aggressive promotion of Linn products struck - and may still strike - many as arrogant. The company sometimes reflected its founder's attitudes and some US dealers opted ... | |
| Linn Audio With the various arms, subchassis, bearings, power supplies, top plates, bottom plates and even plinths, LP12's are not all the same. Those upgraded to the highest levels are very good and compete with other expensive turntables. In my experience,... | |
| Repair Linn turntable vs buying a different one Dear Moses189,I own a Linn LP12 that I have upgraded three times during the last five years, taking it from a simple Rega RB300 arm and Valhalla power supply to an RB300 with a Lingo II power supply and a Kore subchassis. Finally, I upgraded to a ... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A, Herron VTSP-360 and Herron M2 Keith Herron describes the VTSP-360 as both fuller and more detailed than the VTSP-3A (r03) and that seems right, though I don’t have them side by side for comparison. | |
| Herron VTPH-2A, Herron VTSP-360 and Herron M2 I received my updated M2 power amps, now at M2A spec, my VTSP-360 to replace my VTSP-3A(r03) and my updated VTPH-2A. While I do not believe that I have given them a full chance to break in, I am extremely pleased with the sound. The entire set is ... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A, Herron VTSP-360 and Herron M2 Thanks so much for your response. I have the latest prior versions of these products and am considering upgrading them to current. Terrific products and a terrific guy in Keith Herron. | |
| Review: Resolution Audio Cantata Music Center CD Player So far as I know, the upgrade from 2.0 to 3.0 affected only the DAC and not the CD drive. Since the signal from both the CD drive and USB input travel through the DAC, I expect that the upgrade has affected both CD and USB playback practically equ... | |
| Review: Resolution Audio Cantata Music Center CD Player I recently returned from a trip and could swear that my Cantata 3.0 has changed a bit for the better. It seems as though the bass is a bit more extended and a bit fuller. These changes are a further enhancement to my involvement. After having been... | |
| Review: Resolution Audio Cantata Music Center CD Player It is my understanding that the 2.0 upgrade dealt with the USB/Processor board...that brought the Music Center from 96k capability to 192k and allowed for UPnP network playback too. This 3.0 version/upgrade is primarily a DAC board upgrade and alt... | |
| Review: Resolution Audio Cantata Music Center CD Player I have what must be one of the very first Cantata Music Center 3.0 versions out there. While I have not had it long, I am really enjoying the sound.Steve Huntley upgraded my unit a couple of weeks ago. The 3.0 upgrade represents almost four years ... | |
| Why are Harbeth speakers expensive while its drivers are not. I own a pair of Harbeth Super HL5's that I bought about ten years ago. I have always enjoyed them. So, maybe seven or eight years after I got my SHL 5's, Harbeth introduced the SHL 5 plus. I am not sure how many years Alan Shaw dedicated to refini... | |
| New Luxman DA-06 doesnt sound so great. Will it get better? I have heard a Luxman DA-06 from an authorized dealer in the US so its voltage was set to the US 115v standard. Using the DA-06 out of a Macbook Pro computer up sampling to DSD using JRiver Media 21, the DA-06 has different digital filter setting... | |
| Upgrade Linn LP 12 or buy new table I respectfully disagree with bpoletti when he says that the "absolute BEST a LINN can sound is nowhere close to modern tables in that price range." I suggest that you find a competent Linn dealer to help replace the springs and grommets, tune the ... |
