| Ansuz Darkz resonance control footers @davejaz - I don’t know if this is what you meant in your last post, but I would not use the Symposium together with Vibrapods, as Symposium works with rigid coupling between the component and the shelf. One or the other. | |
| Ansuz Darkz resonance control footers @davejaz - I never tried any other footers under the OPPO other than the vibrapods. All I can say is that they worked amazingly well. Personally, I wouldn’t spend more on isolation than the component is worth. And I use the svelte shelf under my o... | |
| Ansuz Darkz resonance control footers You’re going to laugh, but when I had my OPPO 205, I found the sound improved significantly with a Vibrapod under each foot. Never heard them improve anything else, but it was a big difference on that player. About $25 for a set of 4. I think I us... | |
| Should I connect my OPPO BDP 105 to my PontisII? @yyzsantabarbara - very interesting piece of gear if you have a lot of SACDs. | |
| Should I connect my OPPO BDP 105 to my PontisII? Just a question here- if you want to play an SACD, doesn’t that have to be done from the analog outputs of the OPPO? I recall with my Sony XA9000, I used a coax to a Bel Canto dac for CD withe the outputs of the BC into my integrated amp and the o... | |
| Music Hall Maverick SACD Player repair Wow. I had one of those years ago. It was a nice player. I believe it was made by Shanling, so maybe check for anyone who repairs Shanling. You might also check with member @bigkidz, who does audio repair in NJ I believe. | |
| Are You A Disciplined Audiophile? @hilde45 - personally, other than the component, I just follow my normal routines of life. I don’t get obsessive over the other things. For me, I think that a month or 2 will give me enough input to decide what I want to do. | |
| Opinions on Daniel Hertz equipment Mark made no bones about the fact that he adopted some pro-audio concepts. Large woofers and bi/tri amping with external crossovers in the larger systems. As far as the C Wave and Mighty Cat chip stuff- pro audio has every processor you can imagi... | |
| Turntable advice If you have a nearby dealer, get a Linn. You can start simple and upgrade to your hearts content with no need to change tables. There is a lot of anti-Linn sentiment on this forum, but many devotees elsewhere. | |
| Weirdest record defect? I’ve never experienced a pressing defect that showed up every 90 seconds. The ones I’ve heard happen every revolution as the defect comes around again. It may be in the recording itself, although I can’t imagine how it got there. Every 90 seconds?... | |
| New SS integrated choice....Rotel 1572Mk2, Audiolab 7000A, Exposure 2510 I recommend contacting Gene Rubin in California. He deals with a lot of the British brands and could probably help you sort things out. Excellent customer service as well. You won’t see a bad word about him anywhere. | |
| 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. |
