| Any good stereo shops in Dayton or Cincinnati Ohio Yes there is a place in Oakwood (S. Dayton suburb), on Far Hills that has some nice gear. I was in last summer and listened to the new Thiel's (their flagship new model) They also had Jm Labs, Dyaudio, CJ, etc..... Pretty nice guy's too.Chris | |
| TT mat suggestions... Frank M, Can you tell me where you bought your Harmonix? The only place I found them was THe Cable Co. and they wanted like $400...... Which is WAY out of my budget- So is $300, but I could see stretching if it was that great of an improvement.THa... | |
| TT mat suggestions... I have the 5mm version of the Achromat.... And, yes I am adjusting VTA when changing the mats around. The Herbie's was a HUGE improvement over the stock rubber mat that came with my Garrard..... The Achro and Boston are more subtle improvements on... | |
| TT mat suggestions... I am in the throws of trying a few different mats on my 'table as I type. I have the Boston mat, the Herbie's, and the Archromat. I rank them 1THe Achro; 2 Boston; 3 Herbie's. THe Achro definitely has more bass and a more organic sound. It is very... | |
| Natalie Merchant's Tigerlily on LP...any good? I have both the LP and the CD too. The CD is kinda crappy sounding to me.... Real up front in the upper mids, and very compressed sounding. The LP is a lot better IMHO. Definitely smoother, more laid back sounding. More dynamic too.... Pretty much... | |
| Speaker suggestions for an Art Audio PX25 Kevin...... I think you already said what speakers to match them with. Avantgardes, of course;-)Chris | |
| Ipod and quality sound A friend told me that the older iPods use Wolfson DACs and have much better sound that the newer Classic, and touch screen models..... I forget what DACs he said are in the new one's. I actually heard his iPod playing through a pair of Wilson Soph... | |
| ARC Ref 3, Rowland Concerto, or Capri line stage? Ooops... I meant to say "better than the final H-CAT"... | |
| ARC Ref 3, Rowland Concerto, or Capri line stage? Guido,I'm going to ignore your request for information regarding the Rowland vs ARC Ref3 and just tell you there is nothing better than a CAT....... smiles!ChrisPS how are you doing, BTW | |
| Art Audio Carissa? PX-25? Druids? I agree with Mike; you should give Joe a call. He is a super nice guy and would surely help you out.FWIW, I have a PX-25 with AVG Duos that sounds really good to my ears.... I'm not sure I would call it forward or laid back. It's pretty much neutr... | |
| Power amp s for Avantgarde Duos? It's a no-brainer to me.... Get an Art Audio PX-25 (AVG/low gain model). I have tried quite a few amps (some much more expensive) and haven't found anything as good. Joe Fratus really treats the people who buy his amps well, and has got to be one ... | |
| What mat for aluminum I have a Herbie's Audio mat on my Garrard 301 and really like it (especially for the $). I am interested in some of the others, like the Boston carbon fiber, but they're super pricey. Would ove to hear from others on this. | |
| Aesthetix Callisto signature or ARC Ref3 I had a reamp party over at my place a while back that included these two pre's..... Email me if you want the details.Chris | |
| Any new record cleaning products? I have about three full bottles of RRL sitting around since I swiched to the AI stuff.... Much preferred.Chris | |
| Springsteen's "Magic" on vinyl, opinions? I am a huge Springsteen fan, but for the life of me can't understand why his records sound so terrible. He obviously has money for production and control over his music at this point in his career. I have purchased a couple of his "newer" LP's and... |
