| Teres vs VPI, SME, Origin Live, etc. MichaelWhich turntables do you consider to be involving? I'm not trying to bait you or anything, just want to know where you are coming from.CheersKenneth | |
| Separate Transport & DAC: Why not? The Benchmark has a vol pot. Its a great unit in a small package. | |
| Separate Transport & DAC: Why not? I'm a believer in separates, tried CDPs and separates from the same brand and found that even though the DAC section is the same, there is a marked improvement in detail retrieval and resolution when going separate.Now with the so reasonably price... | |
| Teres vs VPI, SME, Origin Live, etc. RaulYes, I've read that reply, but what is doesn't tell me is the differences he heard, just a reference that one was superior to the other, but I still do not know, in what way(s) was it "superior"???Can you tell me? | |
| Teres vs VPI, SME, Origin Live, etc. I realise this could be a can of worms, but I am curious, has anyone actually done a fair A/B comparison between a Teres and an equivalent Galibier or Redpoint? No doubt there will be differences, but can someone without a vested interest, also se... | |
| Teres vs VPI, SME, Origin Live, etc. As a very satisfied owner of a Schroeder Model 2, I can confidently say that it changes the landscape and makes listening to music a pure joy.In fact, I would recommend that you spend on the table and arm, and leave the rest of the budget on the c... | |

| What's wrong with classical music on vinyl? StyxYou could probably find CD and LP versions of classical music during the time when both formats were still competing with each other, circa 70s-early 80s. Nowadays its just CDs and SACDs. There are good SACDs, and there are not-so-good SACDs, ... | |
| What's wrong with classical music on vinyl? Guys I think part of the answer is in the current Feb/Mar 2005 TAS issue on page 92 RE "Dynamic Compression and the Loudness Race".With CDs being mixed louder and louder to out match the competition on the radio, dynamic compression is applied - c... | |
| To Loricraft users Congrats JeffMay I suggest you give the fluid a little more time to soak into the grooves and use the Loricraft brush to scrub a bit.I don't use RRL or SVW, but on the first cleaning, I will use a detergent - just 2 drops, with an alcohol solution... | |
| DACS: Meridian 563 vs 566 vs Benchmark vs Bel Cant I use the Meridian 566(20bit version) and had the Benchmark DAC1 for trial. For accessories, I was using the Apogee Wideeye balanced IC, JPS digital powercord and all source equipment was plugged into the PS Audio P300 set to sine wave. Transport ... | |
| What's wrong with classical music on vinyl? I think Doug's answer sums it up best. Classical music does place more demands on the playback system. Noise of any sort tends to be exaggerated during quiet passages which are common with classical music.I too did have problems with classical stu... | |
