| Review: Blue Circle Audio BC-21 Tube preamp Kvburns,How do you like the BC23 phono stage? I recently auditioned one, but found that all DIP switch settings (except 47k ohm) had no effect on the sound. I have a Goldring Excel VX cartridge (moving coil with load resistance of 100 ohm) and 47k... | |
| OK.......I need more info on the Shelter 901...... Thanks for clearing that up, twl! I think I get it! | |
| Diana Krall's New CD "Live in Paris"???? Fpeel:I know what you mean about Tierney Sutton perhaps being too technical. I don't really get that from her, but the fact that she is a member of some university's music faculty could lead to that result. Nonetheless, I enjoy her considerably mo... | |
| OK.......I need more info on the Shelter 901...... At this risk of revealing my complete naivete, is this "cu" thing (as in low compliance = 9cu) the same as what my Goldring instructions call "internal resistance?" Or is it something else entirely? Otherwise, this Goldring scrap of paper refers t... | |
| VTL 5.5 Phono Section.... I, too, would opt for the factory-installed phono section. If that is not a viable option for whatever reason, VTL makes a great phono stage (VTL TP2.5). I have been using a couple of others with good results that can be aquired used for something... | |
| Phono Preamp Help - 47K Ohms - 100 Ohms .. Huh? This is one of those "holy grail" issues that has no set answer; it is all so personal!My Goldring Excel VX is rated at 100 ohm and is a low- to medium-output MC cartridge (0.5mv) Using an EAR/Yoshino 834P tube phono stage works very, although I d... | |
| Diana Krall's New CD "Live in Paris"???? I agree with Bmatth about Stacey Kent and Nora Jones (particularly the latter's first recording). Although some people erroneously think that Kent is English (she is married to an Englishman who acccompanies her on her recordings and lives there),... | |
| Review: New York Audio Labs Minuet in Tube preamp You would NOT recommend him? Is there someone else qualified and experienced in these mods? | |
| Diana Krall's New CD "Live in Paris"???? I have yet to hear this one. I have her other recordings and rarely listen to them. Truthfully, I have friends who like her and so I have them available for company.If you like the sound of a white female singer, they try Tierney Sutton (smooth, l... | |
| Linn Ittok Arm Adjustments Twl:hmmm.... tempting to give the Denon a try. I am currently using an EAR phono stage which has suitable gain and will be trying out a Blue Circle in the next week or so. | |
| Replacing cable from tonearm to phono stage Gregm:Thanks for the advice and for sharing your experience. I will certainly take all this into account. I won't do anything immediately (or rashly, for that matter!). Should I decide to rewire, I would need to find a qualifed Linn person in the ... | |
| Replacing cable from tonearm to phono stage Sc53: well, that's interesting!! Goes along with Twl's feelings.Basement: I don't know about rewiring the arm. I assume that the Ittock is already pretty good, but the notion of going directly to the phono amp is one that I've heard about, but not... | |
| Dylan News And his movie "Masked and Anonymous" will be released next summer. Also, his multi-volume autobiography ("Chronicles") was due to be released last month and keeps getting postponed (may never see it, despite Simon & Schuster's best efforts).Wh... | |
| Linn Ittok Arm Adjustments I might send an e-mail to John at Goldring and ask him about the VTA. He's been very helpful in other matters.In another discussion forum, you recommended a Denon cartridge (I think the same one you use in your system) for this Ittock arm. Is my m... | |
| Replacing cable from tonearm to phono stage My thoughts exactly, TWL. It's good to have my intuitive impression validated! Thanks for the link, though, to extremephono; I will certainly check it out. Yes, this audio dealer is not completely up on the tt world, although his repair technician... |
