| Naim + Cardas Check the Naim forum for this. As I’m sure you know, some, but not all Naim amps require speaker wire with higher inductance to keep the amp stable, so you should take that into account. Many Naim users do not use Naim cables, so you can get some ... | |
| New SS integrated choice....Rotel 1572Mk2, Audiolab 7000A, Exposure 2510 If possible, you should go to a local dealer and listen. Hopefully you will recognize what you like when you hear it. Don’t worry about price. Just listen for sonic quality that resonates with you. Then when you found it (hopefully) you can either... | |
| Linn tabel won't stay on 45 slips to 33 As I recall, before I got the Lingo with speed control, there was this flaky little adapter you put over the 33 rpm pulley that never worked very well for me. If this is still the case, I would remove it, clean with an alcohol wipe and reinstall. ... | |
| Moved from Logitech Squeezebox to Cambridge CXN V2 w/NAS - sound not as good You simply prefer the sound of one component over another. It is no more complicated than that. That’s what it’s all about. Find out what makes you happy and drink it. Really. | |
| Got a message from a "suspended" member Pass. If they really want to sell, they probably would put an ad on US Audiomart. Take a look over there. But it doesn’t sound legit at first glance. | |
| The Midnight Effect - Who-How? My dealer told me that a certain preamp he sells, which I do not own, takes about 5 hours to reach its peak. While my equipment sounds good after an hour, I do find it sounds better after a few hours, regardless of the time of day. I cannot say wh... | |
| Getting into vinyl for the first time I think the Zphono is a good match for your system and you should just hold on and play records for now. If you stay interested and are ready to break some eggs, you can upgrade to something like a Technics 1200 (about 2k I think). If you’re not w... | |
| Grado Customer Service (Bad) My only service experience with them was very positive. I had a pair of G1000s and the wood turned sort of grayish. I’m not sure how long I had them, but I think it was a couple of years. I sent them in and they sent a new pair. I didn’t expect th... | |
| full range or mini's and a sub The monitor/sub route is certainly valid, but it can cause the OCD parts of the brain to fire up due to the numerous options presented as far as placement, crossover points, volume, etc. a good 2-way floorstander or larger monitor can provide sati... | |
| Mint Protractor. A Pretty Nice Alignment Tool @neonknight As a former Mint user, I believe what @rauliruegas is saying is that the Mint may be using the Stevenson alignment, which creates a higher level of distortion than the Lofgren alignment and that Mint can make a new version for you usi... | |
| Mint Protractor. A Pretty Nice Alignment Tool I could have managed it with magnifying goggles, but I decided to just stay with the basis protractor. | |
| Mint Protractor. A Pretty Nice Alignment Tool I had a Mint for my Basis, but I found it too hard to see with my Transfiguration cart, with a small cantilever tucked under the body. It’s probably a lot easier with a Lyra or any cart with the cantilever out in front. | |
| Rega P10 with Apheta 3 IMO, it’s a great table, you love looking at it, which is important, and full warranty and dealer support. Upgrading the source is not a mistake. As long as you can responsibly afford it of course. With prices rising the way they are, I personally... | |
| Topping D90 bass bloat? I can’t speak about your exact setup, but when changing out any components, we sometimes forget that we took a lot of time optimizing what we had to fit our taste. When you change things you need to spend some time integrating it into the system. ... | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love @bolong - I have it on vinyl, just a regular $25 pressing, and it’s the same. The first track has some issues with the recording. I thought it was just my pressing, but your post confirms what I heard as well. |
