| 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... | |
| Totem Mani 2 Sig. vs Dynaudio C1 The bass response you will get depends on the room to a large degree. Some rooms seem to amplify and muddy the bass, while other rooms just seem to cancel it out, leaving you with a thin sound. IMO, in the normal domestic environment, it's largely... | |
| VPI classic 3 or Prime ? Personally, I would not buy a new model of anything. Let the product get released, see how the reviews come in and make an informed decision based on actual owner feedback. | |
| Cambridge Audio 840-C cd- problems Could just be a new transport, which should not be a big deal. Bring it in to a service center. | |
| Alternative AU24 'e' IC Try a Black Cat Lectraline. I have one and it's really good. Does require a significant break in, but worth it. | |
| linn sondek CD12 How does one "come into possession" of a CD12? Sounds wrong to me. | |
| Advice from apartment dwellers I have the same issues as you. I would go for a pair of Harbeth SHL5s and perhaps an integrated with tone controls like Marantz or Cambridge, assuming that's high-end enough for you. You might also want to mount the speakers closer to the floor li... |
