| Anxiety help needed. New instal of Hana ML I have had cartridges with the cantilevers slightly off, but looked fine when playing a record. Welcome to the world of analog. If this bothers you, call your dealer. That’s what they get paid for. | |
| Ear training suggestions Take piano lessons. | |
| Audio stand needed....Moving main components from mechanical room to listening room Check out Quadraspire. A lot of options, but check the depth. I would probably do a single for the TT and put it right next to a double wide so you have some mechanical separation for the vinyl. | |
| upgrade path from my current speakers? (Dynaudio Special Forty) I have to agree with @ghdprentice. You are focused on the speakers, but there’s a lot more out there than Bluesound , RME and NAD. Bring your RME into a dealer and ask them to demo it against some other dacs and see what you think. | |
| CD/ SACD advice needed Why don’t you have the Mac CD player serviced? | |
| Ayre C-5xe to Kii 3 speakers using AES Personally, if it’s a new system, I would start with Mogami or some other pro cable and listen for a few months. Because when you get a me component you don’t know if it’s the unit, the cable or something else. So buy some Mogami cables, sort ever... | |
| New R2R DAC The AN 2.1x signature is excellent , but stretch to the 3 series is you can. Or at least the 2.1x signature balanced. Also remember the 2.1x sig is only balanced and spdif. No toslink, usb,I2s. | |
| CD Transport Great choice. Just don’t get a hernia installing it :) | |
| Cambridge Audio DAC magic I think it’s due to the fact that Cambridge products are designed to have an inoffensive, pleasing sound that mates well with lower cost electronics and speakers. Some higher end dacs are designed to be very revealing, which can sound unpleasant w... | |
| CD Transport @cleeds - that photo is definitely from a higher end VRDS. | |
| CD Transport I just want to add that just because Teac says it’s a VRDS (or whatever) doesn’t mean much. I had an Esoteric X-05 with a so-called VRDS transport that was just a glorified plastic transport with a top clamp resembling the clamp in the 701. It was... | |
| Isolation platforms for Cube Audio Jazzon speakers I looked up your speakers and they have spikes on the bottom to keep them off the floor, correct? Symposium platforms are stainless steel, so you would have to use a disk under the spikes. Look up Symposium Svelte Shelf and you’ll find it. That a... | |
| CD Transport The Jays is a beautiful product but it’s huge and weighs almost 50 pounds. I couldn’t swing that. It’s definitely an issue for some. The CD2 weighs about 33 pounds which is no lightweight either. The TL5 is 18 pounds and the TL2N at about 26 pound... | |
| Isolation platforms for Cube Audio Jazzon speakers What about symposium? No drilling, but no guarantee you’ll like the sound better than what you have. Did you ever try them sitting on the floor without a platform? | |
| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong My uncle’s JBL Paragon was pretty good. |
