| SME Model 10 How much should I spend on speakers? Speakers should suit the room, so if you're going to get big speakers and put them into a small room, you'll have more problems after that. | |
| Which cartridge is the Imaging/soundstaging champ Its a combination of the cartridge and the phono stage, not just one, but the key lies in speaker choice & positioning.All else being equal, if you are comparing between digital and analogue, then you're probably listening to the wrong format ... | |
| ZYX Universe and Lyra Titan PcostaAre you referring to the recent RMAF show at Denver?If yes, I would agree that the setup was err... "less than ideal".I did get a chance to listen to the Titan/VPI in another room demoing the Audiospace amps driving Harbeths and I was truely... | |
| Yet another wacko 'Help Me Decide' thread... Loricraft - every LP sounds better and you dig up more information than before and you wonder why you didn't get it earlier.With the cart on the same (level of cleaness/dirty) LP, you only get a different presentation.The Loricraft changes the pla... | |
| ZYX Universe - Unipivot or Dual Gimbal arm DougAn alternative explanation is that the 2.2 doesn't mate well with any of the ZYXs due to a cart/arm resonance mismatch(?), or that the ZYXs are too hot on top and that they match the Schroeder/Triplanar better.When I heard the ZYX at Tom's roo... | |
| Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2005 Those of you who went to the fest, what was your opinion of the show?Good sounding rooms? My vote goes to :a) Herron audiob) Boulder/JM Lab Utopia | |
| Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2005 Will anyone be there on Thu afternoon?I was thinking of meeting up with some folks here before the show starts, just to get to know you guys. | |
| Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2005 Ok, I tried to use Marriott's main booking system and they didn't have the special rates for the show, was quoted $160-180+tax.Just called the Marriott Tech Center direct and got my accomodation settled, its $119 for the first nite and $79 for the... | |
| Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2005 SchangI would like to take up your offer if you don't mind. I'll be arriving on the Sep 29 about noon, so I'll only have the afternoon.Just wanted to check, is the Marriot Tech Centre the only hotel there? Are there any other hotels in the vincini... | |
| Best MC cartridge for a nott/schroder - under 2k The Galibier site has very good information about Schroeder arms :http://www.galibierdesign.com/prd_schroeder_faq.html#setupand Frank's comments on matching carts :http://db.audioasylum.com/cgi/m.mpl?forum=vinyl&n=221921 | |
| Dynavector or Grado ? I'd go for the Dynavectors, depending on your budget, and phono stage gain. | |
| Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2005 Last year I couldn't make, although I had a great time with Thom Mackris listening to 2 Galibier Supremes with the Schroeder Ref & the Triplanar 7. So this year, I've got this chance and will go for sure.For those you want to know more, check ... | |
| Rewire and new power cord or Upgrade TT I would lean towards upgrading the TT/arm/cart or just the cart/phono - making sure that the cart/phono match. Powercord or interconnects cannot put back what's not already there from the pickup. | |
| The Schroeder has arrived DmailerThe wait is certainly worthwhile. I think the simplicity of the design in great - everything you need is there, but the implimentation is form following function. What is the rest of your system?I'd suggest you experiment with the gap betwe... | |
| Visit the Wonderful World of Analog Raul Style RaulHats off to you Sir! Well done.BTW, what is your impression of the JA MC2 Finish vs the other high end carts? |
