| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions My Civic will ride over rough roads that my buddy's Corvette can't traverse. Putting a lot of money into a Linn is a choice one makes, hopefully aware of the pros and cons. You just have to want to own a Linn. You either feel it or you don't. | |
| First Table Setup: Org. VPI Scout Why don't you trust the dealer? | |
| 29" Speaker Stands for Paradigm 20 v5 Monitors? Don't skimp on the stands, as the sound of the speaker will greatly suffer. Sound Anchors are excellent, but they are expensive. Try Target MR stands - much cheaper, but still very good. | |
| S.F. Guarneri Evolution IMO, in a home environment, it is impossible to predict the bass response of a speaker without trying it. In my room, the small Opera Callas monitors had a much better low end response than the much larger Harbeth SHL5s or the Totem Forest. It's p... | |
| Can headphones ever be as good as high end stereo? Schubert nailed it. You either like headphones or you don't. I don't. I bought a pair of Grado GS1000s, which give me a better sense of space than other that may have better "audiophile" sound. But remember, if you get good phones, you need a good... | |
| Upgrade question. Rega RP3 or RP6. You have tiny speakers. How much bass do you expect? I think you should add a sub and you'll be much happier. | |
| Amp Suggestion for Harbeth C7es3 Buy an Onkyo 9050 from Amazon for $350. I was using it's predecessor with Monitor 30s while waiting for my "good" amp to be delivered and it was pretty damn good. If you can't reconcile that one, try a Bada DC222 (or whatever it is right now) from... | |
| Jazz In A Woody Allen Movie: "Fading Gigolo" That movie was classic Woody. I find it hard to believe Allen didn't write or direct that movie. I think he did, but for some reason, he wanted Turturro to take the credit. Why? God only knows. Allen's mind works in mysterious ways. | |
| Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns? You hit the point of diminishing returns when you want to justify not spending any more money. | |
| Isolation disc for speaker spikes on wood floors. The Herbies teflon gliders are nice and allow you to move the speaker around to optimize the sound. I use them on a thin carpet floor and really appreciate being able to easily move the speakers if I have to. As an aside, Jim Smith from "Get Bette... | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions So Daveyf - how much would you say you put into the Linn at this point total? | |
| We get into a GROOVE. Hopefully your tastes will eventually evolve to the point where you're just thinking about whether you're digging the experience of listening to the record and less about the sonics. When you reach that stage, you'll actually be enjoying yourself.... | |
| Turntable Upgrade: What Sonic areas will improve? IMO, you should buy the Music Hall 7.1 Underwoodwally has up for sale for $1100. Nice table, nice arm/cartridge, dust cover, dealer support and if it comes smashed, you won't be responsible. It's a hell of a lot better than what you had and you'll... | |
| Zu Audio Soul Supreme Impressions? I think everyone tends to read reviews, look at pictures and imagine how various components sound, to the point where we actually think we're right. The truth is, until you have something home in your system, you're pretty much engaging in fantasy. |
