| Allaerts MC2 Finish Dear RaulThanks, I think I know what you mean about the MC2 and XV1.To complicate matters a little more, there's also the Koetsu RS Plat in the same price range. I've heard the Urushi and liked the sound, but not the RSP. How does the Koetsu RSP c... | |
| Allaerts MC2 Finish Thanks Tbg and Rauliruegas for your informative replies.My phono should not have problems with the 0.2mv output of the Finish. The Herron VTPH-1mc is one of the best available, RIAA 1 Hz to beyond 100 kHz, 20 Hz to 20 kHz ±0.1 dB, S/N ratio 80 dB,... | |
| Allaerts MC2 Finish Hi TopoxforddocIts great to hear from a fellow Schroeder Model 2 owner! Mine is on the Kuzma Stabi with a Dynavector Te Kaitora mounted on it. With the 0.2mv output, it does pose some problems for phono stages. I'm just wondering if the Herron wit... | |
| AMP-Preamp Combo for Vandersteen 2CE's Diva Classic One preamp and Diva Blue Sky Signature 50w class AB push pull. With this combination I had sufficient power to play earth shaking rock, pop, and yet also had the finese to play classical, jazz, with all the tonal colors displayed.The ... | |
| Speakers for loud listening. really loud... Cabasse spks are generally highly efficient, >92db/w and can handle huge amounts of power. I mean really huge, most of them can handle >500w.Tonally they are accurate, like the Totems, but I think they are faster. | |
| Well Tempered or Teres ..... RauliruegasIt was a Kuzma Stogi Ref mated with the Dynavector Te Kaitora.Point to note was that it was only audible on certain LPs. So I reckon that not all LPs are ideally cut, so a certain amount of give is desirable to reduce the inner groove d... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Cabasse Baltic II and Thor II subwoofer.For:Tonal accuracyFastDynamic - both micro and macroSpatial coherenceExtraordinary musicalityAgainst:Unusual looks | |
| Well Tempered or Teres ..... DougI don't have extensive experience with gimbal arms, but my experience parallels yours. I used the Kuzma Stogi Reference prior to the Schroeder. A well made gimball arm, very tight tolerances, ABEC 7 bearings(same as SME). Same cart - Dyna TK. ... | |
| Well Tempered or Teres ..... DougNice writeup on arm differences. If you like the Schroeder sound, or lack thereof, but don't like the price, I'm with Topoxforddoc and highly recommend the model 2. For a little more than your OL, you'll get most of the way there.I've had the ... | |
| How international is your system? Cpdunn99, important thing is it makes music together. All the pieces were selected on their individual merits. This last upgrade was by far the most expensive more me, and I can safely say it was worth it. :-) | |

| What sub do "U" use ? REL Stadium II for HT.Cabasse Thor II for stereo. | |
| Cartridge Recommendation The Dyna 17d2 is a great fast cart, only drawback being its low output of 0.23mv which mandates a phonostage gain of at least 60db or it will sound lifeless or noisy. The rest of the equation is setup.I would therefore recommend that you consider ... | |
| Reconciling analog and digital playback I really think it has moved. While it is true of most high end redbook playback systems that these are still competitive - I still like my CEC TL2/Meridien 566DAC(20 bit balanced DACs) for redbook, a newer and cheaper Universal Player like the Den... | |
| Monitor recommendations with sensitivity =90 Try out the Cabasse range of spks. They have some very sexy looking and good sounding monitors. Should fit most contemporary decors with a high WAF factor. |
