| My Oppo is a bit too bright Glad you are getting better results. I mentioned to you about Vibrapods making a big difference with the Oppo and you seem to be experiencing a similar improvement with the pods you tried. I would still try the Vibrapods if you have some lying a... | |
| Starter turntable and MM cartridge recommendations I don't have any advice about your old tt, but if you're kids are just getting into it, I recommend them buying new from a dealer, so they will have someone to call and discuss any technical issues should they arise. And they will. | |
| Starter turntable and MM cartridge recommendations You will get plenty of recommendations, but before they start it would be wise to see if they have a place to put it where it won't go off the rails when you walk by. I recommend putting a half glass of water on the proposed place and if it wobbl... | |
| My Oppo is a bit too bright Try a Vibrapod 3 under each foot. I was never a fan of tweaks, but this really made my Oppo205 sound much more tonally rich. Worth trying before going down the more expensive paths I think. | |
| Am I out of my mind? #obsessed Looking at black cars or piano black lacquer the wrong way can cause swirls or marring. The speakers are probably a polyurethane finish and I would not try to remove the swirls with an aggressive polish as you may dull the finish. If you can't l... | |
| Oppo UDP-205 Op Amp, Linear Power Supply @unsound - no, I never paid much attention to tweaks, footers, etc. I don't know what made me even think to put them under the Oppo. But after that, I put them under my Heed dac and they did the same thing - an added sense of harmonic richness. ... | |
| Oppo UDP-205 Op Amp, Linear Power Supply IMO, before you do any surgery, try a Vibrapod 3 under each foot. I never thought much of VPs before, but it made a substantial improvement on the 205. It brought out a greater sense of tonality and harmonic completeness. You probably have some... | |
| Modifications on ASL Hurricane 200 DT ? I would contact Response Audio. The owner has a lot of experience modding the Hurricanes and I’m sure he would have no issue with telling you what he found works best. He’s a good guy.I didn't notice - he responded above - Response34. | |
| Record Care Regime can I do better ? Right now, ultrasonic machines are the gold standard and the people who own them swear by their effectiveness. What you are doing is fine, but it would be a lot easier if you invested in a vacuum machine like a VPI or Nitty-Gritty so you don't ha... | |
| What’s the best DAC match for the Cambridge Audio CXC original or V2? @curiousjim - There are several very positive reviews of the Heed abacus on You Tube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fdwyzuixkqc | |
| What’s the best DAC match for the Cambridge Audio CXC original or V2? To answer your question, I am using a Heed Abacus DAC with my CXC. It sounds very good to me. Bought a Wireworld digital cable for $100 and it seems to work well, although I haven't compared it to anything else. | |
| Power amp recommendation for Harbeth 30.2s It's funny - I had the Monitor 30s and they just had no bass in my room, which I thought was incredible because I had the SHL5s and now the P3s, which produce a better bass response in the same room. I just chalked it up to the speaker not jibing... | |
| MM cartridge I see from your other post that you are very new to turntables. I agree that the ortofon may be better, but my advice is to get the Rega cart and you will know everything is set up correctly and you won't have to think about it. Some people shy ... | |
| Proud Harbeth p3esr owner - need help tweaking/troubleshooting @ghualmr I had no idea you needed 30' of wire! It would set you back a lot more than $2700. Not a good idea. I agree with JJSS49. If you like the Harbeth sound, I would move to a larger model if you have the room for it. | |
| Proud Harbeth p3esr owner - need help tweaking/troubleshooting @ghulamr - I am using a Heed Elixir. 50 wpc. I like it, but I would not describe it as particularly warm. It definitely leans towards the warmer side, but it's not like a tube amp. Maybe you're barking up the wrong tree with the P3s. If you wa... |
