| Cartridge Match for Krell KPE Reference/Rega P25 I can't comment on the Shelter (have not heard it) but both the heavyweight and the VTA adjustment made noticable improvements in my P-25. I am very happy with my Dynavector 17 D-II, Karat. It is low output (0.23mv) and loaded at 100 ohms, it is t... | |
| Where does your user name come from? Mine is a shortening of Construction Traveler. I work heavy construction and as a result I might have to move 5 or 6 times a year. In 2000, I started in WY, went to HI, NY, and two jobs in CA. This year 4 jobs, all in NY. | |
| Big Difference With New Source? Cdc;My experience is very similar to yours. A few months ago, I got the bug and up-graded my speakers to Talon Audio Khites. The result was I had to follow that by up-grading to a CD Transport and DAC, from an "all in one box" high end DVD player ... | |
| Best live album you've ever heard? Hbarrel: I saw Heart when they were the "house band" at a bar in Seattle. They had excellent sound and could really move an audiance.Two LP's stand out in my listening experience for great sound from a live recording; David Bowie Live at the Tower... | |
| SIlver Cable Experiences? I am in agreement with most of the above. In my own experiance, silver speaker cables do not work well in my Home Theatre, due I think, to the metal tweeters in my Def Tech's. However, I use silver/copper hybreds exclusively with my Talon Audio Sp... | |
| Songs that you just have to sing The Beatles, "Back In The U.S.S.R". | |
| Best band never to release a truly great album? Two individuals who knock me out, but never turned out a solid album (IMHO)are Mike Bloomfield and Roy Buchanan. The best from each (again IMHO) is Super Session, MB & Al Kooper & Steven Stills; and Hot Wires by RB. | |
| If you had a limo... I am in the same boat as Lakefrontroad, the stereo in my 92 Jaguar 4-door sedan, was the best I have ever heard in any auto. 140 mph on I-5, the sun going down over the Coast Range, and Beethoven on the stereo, ah, the good old days! | |
| any decent amps 17" wide? Take a look at Bob Carver's Sunfire site .http://www.sunfire.com/products/index.htmlThey have a number of amps (two and five channel) they make in 17-inch width. I use one of their "Cinema Grand" amps in my home theatre, and I am happy with it.Dave | |
| speaker cable and interconnect different brands? I have tried many different brands and I am currently running at least 5 in my music and home theatre set-up's.The only brand (in my experience) that I like across the board, is Analysis Plus. I have used, and am using their Oval 9, Oval Twelve, a... | |
| What's everybody listening to this evening? Kind of an odd mix last evening. Started with Dylan, Blond on Blond CD; Moved to Glen Gould playing Bach English Suites CD; The Doors, Greatest Hits CD; Eric Clapton & BB King, Riding With the King LP (excellent recording quality, BTW); and fi... | |
| Speaker recommendation for Rega Mira Talon Audio Khites, very detailed and musical. They are also relatively easy to set-up, as they have no rear ports. | |
| For All You CCR Fans By chance, I was listening to CCR last evening and "Favorite Son" came up in the rotation. It put a whole new spin on the post 9-11 flag waving. All night the thought "God, I hope I don't have to go through that again." kept running through my hea... | |
| Music Hall MMF-7 or the Rega 25 I should have added that the whole set-up took about a half an hour the first time, and about 15 minutes now. My Thorens TD-520 by contrast, I have owned for over a year and it still is not "right."Dave. | |
| Music Hall MMF-7 or the Rega 25 I have not had any experience with the MMF-7, but I recently purchased a P-25.The set-up is not difficult but it is exacting. Take your time and you will be rewarded. I found that with my cartridge I had to retrofit the arm with a verticle adjuste... |
