| I've found the cd player for analog lovers Doug, grammatically you cannot refer to yourself as "we", unless Doug and Deacon are 2 separate individuals. ;)I did have the opportunity to listen to a few 3910, albeit through different systems at the last RMAF, and I would agree it is pretty an... | |
| Personal turntable/cartridge evolution Hi RwdThe Galibier and Schroeder would be an excellent combination. I've heard about the long waiting time, here in Singapore, the dealer said he had trouble getting any Schroeder arm, so I'm considered to be one of the lucky few. Some time ago, I... | |
| Celebration Cartridge w/VPI table & arm? I would agree with Raul that the SME is a better match for the Celebration. Does the Superscoutmaster allow you to swap armboards? This option would be costly.Raul, just a side question: with the many arms you use, how do you swap between the arms... | |
| Personal turntable/cartridge evolution Hi RwdYes, its their latest stab at the SOTA of turntable playback. There are 2 models, just simply called no1 and no2, no2 being their top of the line, which is the one I got.I bought the Scheu unseen/unheard, only through the pictures and descri... | |
| Celebration Cartridge w/VPI table & arm? I've not tried either cart/arm, just FYI, you should be just fine with that combination.Celebration compliance is 12cu with cart mass of 7gJMW9 tonearm effective mass is 8.7gThe system resonant freq would be 11.6hz, just in the 8-12hz ideal. | |
| Personal turntable/cartridge evolution Update time!1970s Original LP12, Grace 707 with a Dyna 10x4Stopped for years...then read in Stereophile that no system is complete without the analog experience, so jumped back in again.1987 VPI HW19 Jr, AT PT9 with a Dyna 10x4. Somehow wasn't qui... | |
| 12" Tonearm What Have You Heard & Recommend? You can consider the Schue Classic 12". I've heard them with Denon 103r and AT33PTG and both sounded excellent. | |
| Help search for a phono stage that fits my system Take a look at the Herron Audio VTPH-1mc. I thought it sounds fantastic with Dyna lo-mc carts. I used to use it with the Dyna TeKaitora until mine went dead in one channel, after which I swithced to the Denon 103R.Matching of the phono stage shoul... | |
| Living Voice Mystic Mat Experiences Dgad, glad that you like it too. I think your experience with the softening bass is just a matter of VTA adjustment. A bit higher should tighten things up. My Denon 103R is less sensitive to VTA generally. | |
| Opus 3 tonearm Hi FlyingredThanks for the insights. WRT the modded Rega, which cart/arm setup was used? I'm trying to get some point of reference here.I've seen the Conductor arm and yes, its a very interesting arm, tackling the same problem with a different app... | |
| Living Voice Mystic Mat Experiences Hi DgadThe Kuzma platter is made of alu with a felt surface.The shop here that sells the mat and the outer ring said that the mat made a more musical difference than the outer ring.My own experience of getting an insight into the soundstage was th... | |
| Living Voice Mystic Mat Experiences DgadThe Mystic Mat on my Kuzma had the effect of tightening images, ie in the lower mid/bass, there was better focus. This was the most obvious difference. Of course once you listen more, then you will notice that the background gets quieter, thus... | |
| Living Voice Mystic Mat Experiences Its a great product, IMO a must have.Have a look here :http://www.soundscapehifi.com/lv.htm#mystic | |
| best upgrades? I doubt anyone can give a suitable recommendation without first knowing what you have to begin with. Can you list out your playback system first? | |
| Baby Koetsus? ie, Poor Mans Koetsu Definitely the Denon DL103R, same type of sound, but without the big price tag. |
