| Cartridges for rear of stage orchestral resolution Go to a concert, close your eyes and listen for depth...It's not going to be there.I don't think you can conclusively say that all concert halls sound like this. This really depends on how the back wall of the concert hall was designed. Some which... | |
| Esoteric X-01 Limited or Esoteric P-05/D-05 combo? Both the AES/EBU Dual and the iLink cable options sound good. Either one can be "tuned" to sound better depending on your setup, so I wouldn't say that one is definitely superior to the other. | |
| Cartridges for rear of stage orchestral resolution Opus88Rsrex is correct in that back of hall imaging is usually a function of the speakers and room acoustics. Although of course if this information was not in the original signal, it would not be possible to reproduce it.The other area which you ... | |
| Cartridges for rear of stage orchestral resolution How about the Dynavector XX2 Mk2? Won't break the bank and I believe it has the kind of resolution you're looking for. | |
| BAT with Harbeth? Other recommendation..? 2 weeks' ago I heard a friend's system which comprised : Ayre CDP, Blue Circle pre, Sanders ESL Stereo driving the Harbeth SHL5, cabling was Audio Magic. My jaw dropped. It was fast and dynamic and had great tonal accuracy and the images were outs... | |
| Which is your fav Beethoven String Qt version? I really wish they will issue some of these gems on LP, nowadays almost all modern classical music is only issued on CD/SACD.Anyway, I continued to enjoy the Alban Berg version. I don't find the first violin strident in any way. I suspect it depen... | |
| Choice on a $3,000 to $5,000 SS amp You ought to consider the Sanders ESL stereo amp. I have heard it driving Cabasse, Dynaudios, Harbeths, Vandersteens and it is consistently good with all. There is something "correct" about the highs, a kind of purity which is hard to describe. So... | |
| Unipivots Hadcocks Vs Grahams I'm curious as to why you will not consider gimball arms, or one Rega based arms.If given the choice, I would prefer unipivots too, just want to know what pushes you in that direction.This maybe crazy, but you could consider a Schroeder model 2, w... | |
| Technics SL1200/1210 owners - which mat? Has anyone compared the SDS mat against the Mystic mat? | |
| Riggle Vtaf w/Rega P9 & RB1000. Good idea or not? Hi JbcelloI'm currently having some issues with my Conductor, so the VTAF project will have to wait.Post some pics when you're done. I think it'll be of interest to many here. | |
| Vinyl Frontend/Linn LP12 Question If you are constrained by the entertainment centre, then consider the Clearaudio Performance TT with the ceramic magnetic bearing - which basically floats the platter. Another forumer, Cytocycle, reported good results with the bigger Ambient (upgr... | |

| Rega RB 1000 - Outgunned by Origin Live? CytocycleI've heard the little brother of your TT, the Performance(?). Yes it is very quiet and has virtually no bearing chatter with the CMB. The Benz cart was also probably designed with the Clearaudio, hence the synergy.Johnnyb53The soundstage ... | |
| Rega RB 1000 - Outgunned by Origin Live? Hi CytocycleInteresting comment about the Technics arm. I think Kevin feels the M5G version with the upgraded tonearm wire is good enough that it may not be necessary to rewire the arm.Just curious about how you feel the sound of your current rig ... | |
| Vinyl Frontend/Linn LP12 Question Great dynamics comes with weight and non-suspended designs.I second Tobias choice of TTs - with a preference for the Galibier/Teres/Scheu/Redpoint/Acoustic Signature range.Arm/cart/phono has to be considered as a whole. Arm/cart for resonant freq ... |
