| The Audio Critic I don't think Aczel or anyone else ever said that "all wire sounds the same". I believe the statement was that any differences in wires can be attributed to their electrical characteristics of resistance, capacitance and inductance. In other words... | |
| The Audio Critic Back in the 80's, TAC was a very highly respected magazine and Aczel's word could make or break a company. It seems to me his earlier work was very different, as he gushed over certain high-end brands like Rappaport and Cotter. (Who?) Later on, he... | |
| Need opinion with new cd player purchase From hanging around here for a number of years, I just don't think you're going to find many (if any) who have actual experience with Roksan CD players. They just don't seem to be very popular for whatever reason. I think both Cambridge and Naim a... | |
| Naim Amp Wattage Ratings As with any amplifier question, it all depends on how loud you want to listen and whether the amp can handle Wilson's tough impedance curve. IMO, the 300 would be an excellent match if you listen at moderate volumes. I've heard the Sophias with th... | |
| Hey Elizabeth Where you be?? Beethoven was deaf in both ears. | |
| moving magnet cartridge suggestions for rp8? Goldring Eroica high output MC. Works well in the Rega arms and you may not have to use a spacer at all. Maybe. Very nice cart for under a grand. | |
| Rega RP8 cartridge? The Delos is a very significant upgrade from the Denon, but you will have to raise the arm significantly to accommodate the extra height. As I recall, you may need 3-4 Rega shims. I personally had no problem with that, but some people don't like t... | |
| EAR ACUTE DRIVE 4 +DAC 4 This may answer some of your questions. I saw the unit at the NY show, but I don't think audio shows are great places to evaluate equipment in any meaningful way.http://www.audiostream.com/content/wes-bender-studioear | |
| What is the answer? The Counsil of Trent. | |
| Monty Alexander lp recommendations Love and Sunshine. If you like Monty Alexander, you'll love that record. He's a little too busy for my taste, but that's me. | |
| Effective ways to upgrade a Music Hall MMF 2.2 When I had my Music Hall MMF5, a Herbies Mat made a huge difference, giving the table a much fuller sound. But the same mat was a downgrade on my Linn. Money back if not satisfied, so it's a very low-risk proposition. Honestly, I would not put muc... | |
| Speaker cables for Kef LS50.... 20 feet? Wow, I don't think you're going to find anything in your price range. Personally, I'd probably just get some 12-gauge Belden from Blue Jeans Cable and start with that. I'm not sure that anything for $500 for 20' will be any better. Maybe ... | |
| Advice - What turntable should I buy ??? I have to disagree with Dentdog. I had a $12K digital player at the time I bought my MMF5 and I was able to appreciate what analog had to offer, even with that huge price disparity. Yes, a very good analog front end has it's virtues, but I think a... | |
| Advice - What turntable should I buy ??? I had a Music Hall MMF5 and I thought it was very nice taste of what analog is about. I ended up selling it for a couple hundred less than I paid and bought a much more expensive tt when I decided that I wanted to pursue vinyl. If I were in your p... | |
| Upgrade from Harbeth Compact 7 If you like the basic sound of Harbeth, the SHL5 is, IMO, a superior speaker with a more coherent sound, a bigger soundstage and deeper bass. Harbeths are not known as rock speakers, but if you are satisfied with the C7 in that regard, the SHL5s d... |
