| Alesis masterlink arrived I used a Masterlink as a transport for a while with great results. However, mine was modified by Paul Weitzel at TRL who uses a Masterlink for mix downs of recordings he makes. According to Paul the analog inputs and outputs are the weak links of ... | |
| MM Cart or MC Cart with a SUT? Based on my own recent experience I'd vote for A. I've been down the C path. First with a Hagerman Trumpet, K&K Audio SUT, and Benz L2. Then with the K&K SE (uses internal SUT) and Dynavector 20XL. Both were very good in my system. However... | |
| Holographic imaging For me the use of psilocybin always increases my sonic holography taking it way beyond 3D. | |
| need comment for chimera labs rca cables I bought a set of the XLR cables and find they are quite neutral. I've never heard the Kimber Select but have compared the Chimera to cables costing from $100 to $2000. They hold their own and then some in my system. | |
| Tonearm suggestions for a Micro Seiki DDX-1000 A Micro Seiki MA-505 will work. Used they run about $500 or so. As Raul said whatever you get will need a cartridge that matches up with the arm. I used a Dynavector 20XL on my MA-505. | |
| Suggestions for "balanced" interconnects? I have a set of the Mogami, as well as Oyaide PA-02, Chimera Labs Advantage Audio and Supra Sword. All are very good and with the exception of the Supra Sword all are reasonably priced. | |
| Best preamp for atma sphere m60 under $3000 used? Jeff Rowland Capri might work here. However, I have heard the M60s with the MP3 and the combination was excellent. Might be worth sticking with Atma for synergy. | |
| SS quality pre-amp with HT bypass-suggestions? Another one for the Capri. Great preamp for the money. | |
| LessLoss DFPC versus LessLoss BTB I've owned VD cables, including the Nite II and Master. They are nice cables but a bit difficult to put in your system. They will most likely require some strain relief. I now use 3 Tel Wire PCs in my system (and a pair of Fusion Audio Predators o... | |
| phono preamp advice A friend of mine just bought an Acqvox and has really been enjoying it. At the top end of your budget.If you don't mind tubes and stretching your budget just a little the K&K Audio SE is a really fine phono stage. I owned one and my rock colle... | |
| Most transparent amp you've heard? Agree with Pubul57. It is interesting to be able to hear the engineers signature in a recording, not to mention the sound stage changes from one recording to another. | |
| Our home system: How good it is? Yes, I used the Audio Physic method of speaker placement very effectively when long wall placement was afforded to me in a very small room. The chair was about 1.5 ft out from the wall and my head maybe 6" further when I sat in it for a total of a... | |
| Tube Pre/SS Amp versus SS Pre/Tube Amp I used to have tube pre and ss amp, but now have the opposite. As stated it can and does work both ways. | |
| TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp I have not done the comparison, but did use my TRL D-225 with both a Cary SLP-98 and Joule Electra LA-100 MkIII and can say that the solid state amp/tube preamp combination worked extremely well in my system.From what I have read about the AH TP 2... | |
| Best balanced signal cable The Chimera Labs are new for me too. Sort of fell into them. Check out the information on their website. Also, a 4m pair of Alpha Core TQ-2 cables are for sale here on Audiogon. These are very well regarded cables as well in your price range.Lastl... |
