| which jumpers for Vandersteen 2 Ce's?? When I first acquired my Vandy 3A's, I needed to have a pair of Cardas Golden Reference speaker cables reconfigured by the factory into bi-wires. So until that took place, I ran a pair of Cardas jumpers with the speakers cables. After the reconfig... | |
| Best Tonearm for Thorens TD-124. Presently running a TD-124 mki with an SME 3012r and a Denon DL-103 with the Level 3 retip ifrom Soundsmith in a Uwe African ebony body. Pairs really well with my older Audio Research-based system. I also have a TD-124 mkii with an Ortofon RMG 212... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Tbg,Referencing your 9/15/12 post, I was finally able to acquire a pair of Wright Sound WPA 3.5 SET monoblocks to pair with the Altec 846A Valencia's. I now see (hear) what all the fuss is about with zero feedback flea powered amps! I've been play... | |
| Garrard 301/401 audition request Phil,Would very much like to hear the Garrard 401 within the context of your system. I live behind the Orange Curtain but work in South Bay. I too have a 401 that will eventually get worked on, but the 301 comes first.Kind regards,Lawrence | |
| Power cords for ModWright SCD-XA5400es Thanks for the recommendations everyone! For those that replied, I'd appreciate a clarification as to whether you used your recommended PC in conjunction with your ModWright XA5400es or to some other component within your system. When I did see th... | |
| Garrard 301/401 audition request Just a follow up to my OP. I was able to acquire a grease bearing cream colored 301 from the original owner but I got sidetracked over the past year with having a Thorens TD-124 mki refurbished and mounted on a multi-layered baltic birch plinth. P... | |
| Audiophile Speakers with 25 yr + Longevity Earlier this year, I acquired a pair of Altec 846A Valencia speakers from the son of the original owner. Other than a little sun damage to the top of the cabinets (made less apparent by applying liberal amounts of Scott's Liquid Gold wood cleaner ... | |
| Aragon 4004 vs. McCormack DNA-1? I owned both amps up until several months ago and rotated them in and out of my system that featured Vandersteen 3A's and various Audio Research tube preamps. As far as SS amps go, both got the job done with a nod to the McCormack for both refinem... | |
| Best amplifier for klipsch heresy 3 speakers. I've been using both a McCormack DNA-1 (SS) and an Audio Research VT100 mkiii (tubes) with the Klipsch Heresy III's to good effect. The ARC is a little warmer than the McCormack. Preamp is either an ARC SP-10 mki or an SP-11 mki. | |
| Pitch Perfect Audio Jhardy, sorry for the delayed response; I don't have PC access on the weekends. It's a difficult question to answer as we were listening to cuts from different LPs that were often times, my first exposure to the music. And when speakers, turntable... | |
| Has anyone on Audiogon listen to Line Magnetic 755 I attended Matt Rotunda of Pitch Perfect Audio's Greenhaus event in January of this year. It was a two-day event and on the first evening, he played the Devore Orangutan O/96 followed by a pair of Devore Gibbon X speakers that had debuted at the C... | |
| Pitch Perfect Audio Matt is as good as they come. I was all set to buy a previously owned pair of Quad 57's that he had taken as a trade in when he called to let me know a buzz had developed while he was running the speakers before packing them in anticipation of my ... | |
| BEST POWER AMP OR INTEGRATED AMP FOR HERESY 3 I rotate in a pair of Heresy III's with either an Audio Research VT100 mkiii or a McCormack DNA-1 and an Audio Research preamp to good effect. Rock and roll, jazz, classical, etc. Not to ear splitting levels, but loud enough. | |
| NAD 3020 What to do with it ??? I too have a NAD 3020 that's been sitting in a closet since 2006. Just for grins, I disconnected my Audio Research amp/preamps and subbed in the 3020. Had to use Radio Shack speaker cables of unequal length and no-name ICs to fit the narrower dime... | |
| Ortofon --- A90 or SPU 90th? I don't have much first hand experience with the A90, but I have been thoroughly enjoying a brand new Ortofon 90th Anniversary SPU mounted on a Thorens TD-124 mkii with an Ortofon RMG 212 tonearm. Coupled with an Audio Research amp/preamp and a pa... |
