| Rega RB 1000 - Outgunned by Origin Live? Dsa: Don't write off the Technics arm, once my old table had the Silicon damper, the whole table was vastly improved, plus the Mapleshade m6 threaded brass footers and 4" Timbernation maple board. The KAB record clamp and the thicker Technics Mat ... | |
| Rega RB 1000 - Outgunned by Origin Live? The RB1000 doesn't mount like an RB250/RB300 so I don't think it will mount on the Origin Live board. quoted from manual "It is fitted to the plinth by a 3-point fixing."I had a Technics SL1210M5G and later moved to a table with an RB300. I prefer... | |
| Theta Compli vs Wadia 9rw: I have listened up to the 861 series, but I have friends with the 581SE models and they switched back to preamps because of better spacial imaging versus direct. Of Course they were jumpered correctly to match output level with input level of... | |
| Clearaudio Performance Turntable Yes Clearaudio offers a CMB bearing upgrade and you can even step up to a Magnum upgrade which is the 70mm platter and tonearm tower.... That's a really nice thing about Clearaudio tables! | |
| Theta Compli vs Wadia So you need to determine your goals.....If you want SACD then get the Wadia 581 and buy a good preamp..... I tried the SACD on my Compli, compared it to a top Marantz, and top Sony, and the latest EMM single box and didn't care for any of the SACD... | |
| Bass traps? (to solve a suck out) Have you considered elevating you sub with an ASC sub stand? this will change the positioning of your bass measurments.Typically you will need to move your positioning of your speakers or your listening position to change a null. | |
| Great -Small- Cheap subwoofer ? partsexpress.com has some decent kits, you are better off with DIY kits where you pack the insulation and install the drivers at this price point, the subwoofer boxes will be larger but you will get a really nice sub for the money. | |
| Concerto peramp vs. Synergy IIi Wuangi: I don't have the wiring diagram or the cable anymore as I've changed gear. I sent you a PM with my email address I have a wiring diagram but it doesn't show you how to make the cable just how to hook it up.. | |
| High-current tube amps Gmood1: And I agree with you about speaker matching which the poster is asking about and I was answering... What will match with Wilson Watt Puppy 7's? a 14wpc SET will be unsatisfying (and typically won't be accurate trying to drive down to a 2.4... | |
| High-current tube amps First off put your Wilson Audio Tube ports in the head unit to reduce the required damping factor for tube amps. Since you had a Krell amp prior, I would skip the SET unless it is a 45watt or higher SET. Get that sound from your preamp if you crav... | |
| What is under $5k speaker with best bass slam? Powered Sub (JL Audio) if you want to be able to feel bass slam at low volume, and you can adjust the slam as feel the need! | |
| Ground Loop Issues Do you have a cable box connected to your preamp? #1 reason for a ground loop.Have you tried putting everything on the same circuit to see if the ground noise goes away?Have you changed out your interconnects with other sets? I had a 2 pairs of Mo... | |
| What have you used with MAPLESHADE platforms I prefer Aurio Pro Max Bearing with 5/8" Tungsten Balls to float and decouple the Theta Compli from my rack and found that sounded better than it resting on Maple on Audiopoints, DH Cones, Vibrapods, BDR cones/those things. I do prefer having my T... | |
| File format compatible with iTunes and J.River dbpoweramp uses the EAC engine and Accurip and compares with a database. It definitely can rip ones EAC doesn't like to, and when I had problems I just washed the cd with liquid soap and dried it with a microfiber cloth pulling from the center out... | |
| High end processors with HDMI 1.3a Kal,Thanks for the update, but the earlier ones required hardware updates for the HDMI chips, and people had a hard time getting Integra to admit it, much less fix it. Sounds like they have finished with the Beta phase on the public and it's ready... |
