| What brass cones are the best? Audio Points worked best with my components. | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? Herron Audio MC Phono Pre-amp. Goose Bumps! | |
| reference speakers or super amp and good speakers Speakers, speakers, speakers. However, my own experience is, that excellent speakers leads to up-grading components. When I purchased Talon Audio speakers, I could no longer stand to listen to the less than stellar performance of my DVD player use... | |
| Levinson owners, what cables are u using? With my ML 37, Chord DAC 64, ML 380S, and my Talon Audio speakers, I use Analysis Plus. Oval Video from the aes/ebu on the 37 to the DAC, Copper Oval balanced to the 380S, and Copper Oval balanced to the amp. I also use Silver Oval from my phono p... | |
| Earbuds & Motion Sickness? Good News & Bad News. The bad news; they will probably have the same result on a plane, for you (they don't bother me). The good news; there is a little bag in the pocket of the seat in front of you. | |
| Speaker Cables to Audition in 1500 price range Contact Oliver at Delve Audio (NJ dealer who is an Agon dealer) he has always given me excellent advice, and has a variety of demo cables. Tell him consttraveler sent you (no, I don't get ANYTHING from a referral). | |
| ONE shot to show off your System's Stuff The first track on Super Sesion by Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper. | |
| System Reference Recordings Bach, Goldberg Variations, played by Glen Gould. I consider the piano the hardest instrument to record/reproduce in a "life like" manner. On a "good" system with better than "good" speakers, you can clearly hear not only beautiful piano, but also ... | |
| What do you currently own that was bought on 'Gon? Rega P-25, Levinson 37 Transport, Levinson 380S Preamp, and a whole bunch of IC's, Power Cords, and Speaker Cable (all Analysis Plus, I love the stuff). | |
| What is your most beautiful component? Less is more! My Chord DAC 64. | |
| Going SACD or analog? I have found that I enjoy my analog set-up much more for listening to music, when that is all I am doing. For background music while working, tieing flies, doing the dishes, etc., the digital is much more convenient. There is nothing worse than ru... | |
| Phono Preamp Help - 47K Ohms - 100 Ohms .. Huh? Zaikesman:That's what I was afraid of, and where my next purchase will be. Do you (or anyone else) have a recommendation? I've been reading about the EAR MC3, which seems to be the likely candidate.Dave | |
| Phono Preamp Help - 47K Ohms - 100 Ohms .. Huh? Bwhite:I am reservedly happy with the Coph Nia. I have not had it very long (maybe 40 hrs. play time), and I am relatively new to analog. I just got back into LP's about a year ago after a layoff of about 25 years, so a review by me probably will ... | |
| Any small speakers equal in sound to Hales Rev III For detail and ease of set-up, consider a pair of Talon Audio Khites. They are front ported which minimizes problems with the distance from the wall behind them. As to detail, I had to replace a number of components to realize their full potential... | |
| Phono Preamp Help - 47K Ohms - 100 Ohms .. Huh? The Coph Nia is factory set at 100 ohms, but, pop the cover off and there are a series of dip switches that allow adjustment from 40 to 47k Ohms. I found that 100 Ohms is the "best" setting for my Dynavector 17 D-II, Karat. Any higher and the uppe... |
