| SS Amp Preference for DeVore Fidelity Silverbacks Yeah I would have said try Pass but that's hot Class A.Small Plinius 50 watt a/b for warm SS sound?Have you tried the Redwine?Nice that they are easy to run so you can put $$$ into sound not watts.Want to follow this as I have horns and will proba... | |
| Room treatment advice needed Bass will be reinforced with movement back towards rear wall or to side wall but imaging could suffer.if you have hard room then adding drapes could help and carpet on floor but actually a diffuser of thick carpet behind speaker can have dramatic ... | |
| SME V or Graham 2.2 on Michell Gyro SE Stan hjas been arround block but also think Atmasphere has a good point about Cart/Arm compliance.Chazz | |
| VPI 10.5i mod....very worthwhile Hmm.Call Harry an ask him why this might be?Do you have VTA adjustment or think you might get one?Assume you have a Classic.Like the deck?CheersChazz | |
| Best Cartridge under $1000.00 for Rega 700 Glider is nice.My buddy likes his 17D but I would also low at Lyra Dorian.Depends when you say low if you have enough gain for Dyna since it is .23Mv.If looking for a bargain I haven't heard them but eh re-wired Zu 103's when they come back on lin... | |
| Footers? Depends on your taste on how it effects the sound.As a rule you would say yes good footers work well.But I am always for first mass loading a rack or wall mount and then trying different typed cheap and expensive.I always think it weird people wil... | |
| VPI Help Also you can just call them and from the serial number plate they can sell you and you can describe what the arm looks like so you can know if it has a regular arm or a "signature" one with better wiring.Many of them have plate that say's Aries,Ar... | |
| Differences in sound as related to watts? Yeah efficiency and your room size and how loud you play.More likely to damage speaker by clipping an amp than running it with price greater than recommended rage though this has it's limits of course.But point about say lager "sound stage" isn't ... | |
| Very interesting radio shack vs. audioquest Alway thought this myself except certain cases when I sold Krell to friends and though our shop didn't have them got them some Cardas to tamp down mettalic nastiness in mids.But you can find some really good reviews of cheap stuff like Anti-Cables... | |
| Class D amp wyred4sound and B&W 803D I sold B&W from 1996 to 2001They are a very forgiving speaker and don't benefit from tubes the way many speakers to.That said they can be revealing. and we heard the major differences between the McIntosh and the Krell in our main room quite w... | |
| Best REL Subwoofer for Magnepan 3.6's Going to go single or double(yeah I know that beneath 150 hrz that you "can't localize) bass but two is what many folks do.Storm would be first choice.Or larger.But remember that a 20 Hrz wave is 56.something large so even in big room your not goi... | |
| Tube or Solid State If you can get both and compare.Not only for loudness but also for whether you think Usher benefits from tubes.Some speakers it's dramatic others it's not worth the loss in some area's like dynamics or bass control.I sold Mac before 2001 and loved... | |
| Dynamics at lower volumes? That's one think I liked about my friends Audio Physics.Some just can sound really nice at lower volume levels some don't.That's one think I like about my Odeon Horns they do sound good at low levels.And as above some electrostatics as opposed to ... | |
| Cartridge for VPI Scoutmaster and Bottlehead gear. Dynavector is good as unlike another good cart shelter it's smooth across bandwidth.My friend likes his 17D but thinks output at 2.23 is a bit low.Over performer for cheap is Denon DL series.I have wondered about the Zu modded 103's.Sumiko another... | |
| Best way to spend $2k on a used Turntable & Arm? VPI Scout is goo performer but some don't like Uni-pivot or no anti skate but it's good one.But I own Aries and really like it.Always pluses and minuses.Owned Rega but at lower and not the best construction in table but arms like 250 and 300 are v... |
