| I want more from my Rega P5 First I would make sure your set-up is correct.... Is the 'table level? Do you have the cart aligned properly? How is the VTA? (you would have to add shims, or some other after market (Teres) fix if it's not). If all this checks out OK, then start... | |
| Leviathan Signature Monoblocks -- What is the vir Guido,Do like me and turn on your freakin AC....See you in a couple of weeks.Chris | |
| HELP Horns, Stats or Conventional Speakers Another option (to further cloud you decision) might be a pair of Maggie's. I think your room may be too small for 3.6's, but 1.6' and a sub (go for a REL) might be a good fit for you. IMHO the Maggie 1.6 is a great speaker at a reasonable price. ... | |
| HELP Horns, Stats or Conventional Speakers You need to listen to these various kinds of speakers....... I know you said you can't, but I would sincerely make the effort as they all sound VERY different. I have gone through all kinds of speakers cones, 'stats, and now horns (I have a pair o... | |
| Austin , TX . Hi,Yes we get together once in a while...... probably a little less in the summer. Email soliver and he can put you on the mailing list for future events. BTW, what kind of TT and tonearm do you have? I might be able to help a bit.Chris | |
| Shortlist of best cartridges with VPI Depending on your budget........ I have had great results from my ZYX Airy 3S on my VPI Aries/JMW10. Before this, I had been using a Grado Statement Reference........ It was nice, but the ZYX is on another planet in another universe far far above ... | |
| Review: Spendor S5e Speaker Nice review. I too have Maggie 1.6's in my second system (which does double duty for HT and music). I love the Maggies and have not found anything close to their sound in the same ballpark money wise. The only drawback, like you have already said,... | |
| Ayre C-5xe or the CJ McCormack UDP1 Deluxe? I don't know how much use this info will be but..... I auditioned the Ayre in my system and was very impressed. It is one of the best players I have heard with redbook and went to a completely higher level with SACD. I heard the McCormack (not del... | |
| Bass traps: RPG Modex Corner vs ASC Tube Traps vs? I second the Realtraps Mondo traps........ I have them (along with some other Realtraps stuff) in my room and am very pleased. The price/performance ratio of these products is very good.Chris | |
| Turntable Upgrade Suggestion Marc,If it were me, I'd stay away from the removable headshell tonearms...... Why not try to get a little VPI Scout/JMW 9 and a second armwand. It's really easy to swap out the wands with these designs. The arm/table is designed to TOGETHER and wo... | |
| Please recommend CD player w/volume under $5500 Dbld,I can really only compare the ARC LS25II (which I used to own) and the Aesthetix Callisto that I have now........ Well, I guess I just answered which of those two I prefer. The CJ was in a different system, so I can't really compare it to my ... | |
| Please recommend CD player w/volume under $5500 I'll probably get bashed for this but........... Every CD player I have ever heard (with a built in pre-amp/volume control) sounded better through a preamp. I have heard/done comparisons with the Wadia seperates, DCS stack, and my own Theta Miles.... | |
| magnepan 1.6 needs help in the bass I'm with Ozzy on this one........ I have 1.6's and run them full out with a REL Storm III set at about 35Hz. TO my ears things sound pretty good.Chris | |
| Mono Switch? I recently upgraded my preamp.......... Going from an ARC LS25II to an Aesthetix Callisto sig. The sonic upgrade was huge, but I sure missed that mono switch on the ARC. Thank god my phono stage has one because I use it mainly for vinyl playback.C... | |
| Difference between JMW 12.5 and JMW 12.6 tonearm When does the Nordost internal wiring come into play????? Is it with the .6 upgrade or, is there something beyond?Chris |
