| SP-10 Mat I have an Artisan Fidelity SP-10 with upgraded copper platter. I've found George Merrill's GEM Dandy cork mat to work very well. | |
| Retip for zyx Except in this case Porsche will not fix it. . .he has to buy a new Porsche. | |
| Stillpoints LP Isolator Record Weight I was using the LPI on my Technics SP10. The difference it made compared to my TTW weights was not subtle. It brought a level of clarity to playback that was prevously missing. It's expensive, but IMHO, worth the investment.I say "was" above, beca... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic I researched the Bardo and Oasis heavily before deciding on my Technics SP10. The Bardo and Oasis have the same drive mechanism and base platter, the only difference being that the Oasis has a plinth. Since the plinth imparts a sonic characteristi... | |
| PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better? You can't judge the quality of a crossover by the quantity of its components. Many times, simpler is better, and that simplicity is most likely driven by the choice of drivers in the speaker. | |
| The usual suspects: S1, Cirrus, Tempesta, MMM1 It's easy to tell who csmgolf is...his name is Chris. Just check his feedback here on Audiogon. | |
| The usual suspects: S1, Cirrus, Tempesta, MMM1 I've had the Vapor Cirrus in my room, with my electronics, side-by-side with my Salk SoundScape 10s. Other than the lowest octave of bass, the Cirrus was at least the equal of the SS10. The top end of the Cirrus was actually a little smoother.Hope... | |
| Speaker recommendations, budget $10-15K Another recommendation here for the Daedalus Ulysses. I stumbled upon a pair for sale locally, and picked them up last Saturday.The Ulysses are running in place of my Sanders 10Cs which are also a good choice within your price range.The Daedalus a... | |
| BMC MCCI vs Roksan Reference DXP SE I agree with Tbg. I have the MCCI, and I think it's fantastic. Although I've never heard the Roksan, I have heard the following in my system:Ray Samuels NighthawkPS Audio GCPHLinn UphorikSutherland Ph3DMusical Fidelity M1 ViNLSanders Sound Systems... | |
| Contrast/compare Magneplanar 20 vs Sanders 10c ESL Why is hearing the Sanders problematic? Roger has a 30 day in-home trial, with freight covered both ways. It couldn't be any easier. . . | |
| AIFF or FLAC? If you use iTunes for both library management and playback, you need to stick with AIFF. iTunes cannot play FLAC files.If you are willing to use a 3rd party playback software, then FLAC is the way to go for storage and ease of use. Both Audirvana ... | |
| Cartridge dilemma Of those you have listed, I would go for the 17D3. This is a sweet cartridge, and the diamond cantilever really transmits the dynamics. Lots of happy D3 owners out there. . . | |
| Sanders 10c Owners I have the 10C system, and I also use Magtech's for both the woofer and panels. Previously, I had used NAT Audio Generator Monoblocks for the panels.I like the idea of tubes for the upper and SS for the lower, but the zero maintenance of the Magte... | |
| Replacement for Maggie's? I've read some comments on the web that claim DeVore speakers are very "Magnepan like". | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Has anyone heard the Def4, or Druid5/Subs compared to the Sanders Sound Systems 10C? Very curious as I have the Sanders, but am contemplating a simpler system. |
