| Need help with the set up on a new Shelter 501 Inner groove issue may be anti skate. I would try both of the ohms settings to see what sounds best for you. | |
| Esoteric SA-50 SACD player, Is it for me? The Esoterics take an incredibly long time to break in, easilly over 500 hours and some, over 1,000 hours. They may not sound dry after break in (mine doesn't). Also, power cable and IC matching a must. They do sound better using balanced out. | |
| OT: Fine Writing Instruments I enjoy pens as well. I just picked up my first Omas Italia (bottle) and am in heaven. I have the large Mount Blanc (Diplomat or 1849 or something) and the Omas blows it away. Rollerball over ball for me BUT I have this Chopard (black rubber &... | |
| Hum Coming Through Amp, What Happened? Interested to see what/if something changed anywhere on the electrical system since the hum started, ie, new ac system, added a cable somewhere else, new LCD in soundroom, etc. | |
| the perfect tonearm You must give a listen to an RS Labs RS A1 tonearm. It has a rotating headshell and is one of the (if not best) arms I have ever heard. I think new is $2,900 (maybe $3900-can't remember) but used should be in your budget-if you can find one. Only ... | |
| SDS Power cord I had a few shunyata diamondbacks lying around, so installed them into the sds/motor - nice difference. I think any power cables near cartridge/phono stage should be shielded-and decent. I wouldn't get pythons for it but do see (hear) improvement ... | |
| Benchmark DAC1 Pre - anybody heard a mod? I have the benhmark and once I upgraded cables & power cords (tara labs the one rca & shunyata python Vx Alpha Helix PC) and set all on a symposium shelf (w/nordost digital cable from digital source) the sound is awesome. The cables made a... | |
| Any U2 Fans Here? I aw the War tour at the pier, NYC, 1980(?). All downhill since that album. | |
| Want to buy Ayre C-5xeMP but... The ayer is a great unit. I preferred my Esoterix X03SE but that may be my syestem and room. I felt less digital, better resolution and timber, detail and greater soundstage depth-but that could be my system-solid state, electrostatics and a small... | |
| How to configure a PC for outstanding Audio? Isolating the pSU from the PC case also helps (nice rubber grommets) as well as a good power cord and a line conditioner. Also, if using an internal CD player (I don't-I use an external Lacie), also isolate CD from from case w/grommets as well as ... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high I visited an (audio) designer/engineers house/shop/showroomlast week. After an awesone vinyl demo, he took me into his shop where he was designing a new tonearm. I don't know if his arm will be $12k to $15k but looking at his gear (much of the equ... | |
| Clearaudio Stradivari Thanks so much for the time you spent, Axel~truly enlightning. | |
| Why are European Amps more expensive than Domestic Dollar exchange and shipping costs. | |
| Need advice on acoustic panels. Call echobusters-great guy-great product. Totally made my speakers disappear. | |
| SB duet dig to theta casanova vs transporter dac me thinks newer dac (transporter or outboard) will be better (sounding) assuming you have a resolving system, good cables, etc) |
