| Linn sondek vs sme Hi daveyf. I agree with you regarding tone arms. The LP12 suspension limits the tone arm selection and the RB300 is not in the league of a Triplanar; provided, however, that the RB300 is really, really good for the money. I am sure that Linn would... | |
| Linn sondek vs sme Comparing turntables can be really difficult. If one really wants to compare turntables, one needs to mount the same tonearm and cartridge on both turntables one intends to compare - and hope that there is not sample-to-sample variation between th... | |
| Turntable for life Even a Linn LP12 sold in 1973 can be brought to current production standard. And with 150,000 LP12's in circulation, Linn has incentive to continue to improve the LP12. Linn is a substantial company with 150 to 200 employees, far larger than pract... | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions Thanks daveyf and zavato. My answer to the original question in this thread is, "yes, the LP12 is still in use" despite its 'old design' and the LP12 serves as a "reference." lharasim suggested that current vogue favors idler wheel and direct driv... | |
| Any Herron VTPH-2 Phono Stage Owners out there? I recently received a Herron VTPH-2 from Keith Herron. I bought the unit at the same time that I updated my VTSP-3A(r02) to (r03) status and updated my M1A's to current production standards. I own a Nagra VPS phono stage along with a Nagra PL-L li... | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions I bought my first LP12 in 1982 and have owned one for most of the time since, though I have also owned other tables including several Rega P3's, the Roksan Xerxes, Roksan TMS, Michell Orbe SE, Avid Acutus, Spiral Groove SG2 and, currently, a Spira... | |
| Where to get GNSC mod CD player repaired Hi Everyone, Steve no longer does any repairs or support of GNSC modded units. That business closed and Steve is not able to make himself available for support and repairs. When GNSC closed, he did provide a link to some technicians he recommended... | |
| Resolution Audio - Cantata The Stereophile review omitted much of any description of how the Resolution Audio Cantata sounded. John Iverson did a good job of checking out all of the different ways in which one can get digital signals to the Cantata and said that all of thos... | |
| Resolution Audio - Cantata Stereophile has dedicated it's cover to the Cantata music center. It is a very favorable review. It is well worth checking out. I have listened to the Cantata extensively and think that it is really, really good. | |
| Anyone heard Resolution Audio Cantata C-50 amp ? I have an Opus 21 stack, consisting of the Opus 21 CD player, power supply, s30 integrated and XS ("Extra Sources"). Mine, too, was modified by Great Northern Sound. I understand that the C-50 is based on the s30, which had lots of good low bass, ... | |
| Resolution Audio Cantata Hi,I got my Resolution Audio Cantata about 2.5 weeks ago and have had a good chance to listen. I have compared it extensively with my Great Northern Sound Company modified Wadia S7i. I posted a review of the Cantata in the "Reviews" section of Aud... | |
| resolution opus 21 cd player OPINIONS PLEASE I have a GNSC Reference Opus 21 and have owned Opus 21s in both stock and GNSC Reference modification versions. The GNSC mods seemed to give the greatest impact in the areas of bass weight and depth and overall dynamics. As others have commented, ... | |
| Turntables better than a Wadia 861SE w/ Statement I have owned a Great Northern Sound Statement mod Wadia 861 SE since 2003, so I am very familiar with its sound. Likewise, I have owned or been privileged to long term loans of several very competent turntables including an Avid Acutus with SME V ... | |
| Mods for ARC preamp / amp I hesitate to jump into the fray on this subject because I have not engaged GNSC to modify any Audio Research products for me. I have, however, engaged GNSC to modify a Wadia 861 to the Reference, then SE and Statement levels, a Resolution Audio O... | |
