| What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin? Nothing is "The Best". Any decent turntable that will turn and allow a good arm and cartridge will suffice, but try to isolate it as well as possible. Mine i in the next room with my electronics. A mirror makes the CD remote work from afar. | |
| Preamp inverts signal. Yes...BUT!As long as it is your only source. | |
| Best Way to Spend ~ $2000 for System Improvement Whoops: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/91-audio-theory-setup-chat/1243132-hall-fame-audio-equipment.htmlI am not suggesting anything except that a high damping factor gives tighter bass.The 350 wpc Classe does not compare with my 125 wpc Forte, ... | |
| Best Way to Spend ~ $2000 for System Improvement There is a lot of disagreement on this site, but I still say that an amp with a high damping factor has tighter bass. Check out the match between Audire Forte and B&W DM 16 omn the site listed below.I have tried a lot of amps, including giant ... | |
| Why do all audio forums on the internet seem "dead" ? The younger generation spent its funds on computers. Here is an example of what happened when I brought a few college boys home to hear music on my system: They were absolutely amazed that it could sound so good. When one replied, "WOW! I'd like t... | |
| if you had my system and $2,000 budgeted for an upgrade, where would you spend it? Speajers!!!! You need full range speakers. Your system is great, but you meed speakers. For well under $2000, you can pick up B&W 803 Matrix Series 2 and subs. I have experimented with these for years and they are hard to beat with the right s... | |
| I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible That is the most expensive POS I have seen, but my all time favorite piece is a super heavy, vinyl pressing, half speed mastered, audiophile LP of a horrible punk "Band" FOR ONLY $165."Originally recorded live on an iPhone."Wow! | |
| Grace F9 F8 F-9 F-8 Andante F9 F-9 H S Sumiko Pearl Supex Phono Stylus GAS Sleeping Beauty Chakster, I am aware of Supex MM cartridges, but I have never heard anything but that they exist. | |
| Grace F9 F8 F-9 F-8 Andante F9 F-9 H S Sumiko Pearl Supex Phono Stylus GAS Sleeping Beauty OK, I'll bite. I have listened to the Grace F9E on my system, with Audire powered, B&W 803's with B&W DM 16 woofers for subs (recently replacing, for now, Peerless 850146 aka NHT SW2Si) subs powered by a second Audire amp and preamp wi... | |
| Grace F9 F8 F-9 F-8 Andante F9 F-9 H S Sumiko Pearl Supex Phono Stylus GAS Sleeping Beauty Lewm,I did not really mean the tip, but the assembly. Yes, the R has the Ruby cantilever. | |
| Grace F9 F8 F-9 F-8 Andante F9 F-9 H S Sumiko Pearl Supex Phono Stylus GAS Sleeping Beauty Above, I was referring to Lexicon, which put a $500 OPPO CD?DVD player in an aluminum box and charged $2500. | |
| Grace F9 F8 F-9 F-8 Andante F9 F-9 H S Sumiko Pearl Supex Phono Stylus GAS Sleeping Beauty I should have known to suspect the history of Grace as told to me by a factory sales rep for Supex. Oh Well, I have looked dumb before and it will certainly happen again. I do stand by my assertion that there is exactly one Grace F-9. On... | |
| Bass is not enough !!! Speaker problem? Speaker cable? Power Amp? PC of Power Amp? I use a separate amp and preamp to power my subs, It works great. The two systems are matched and the subs are time aligned, using a ruler, with my B&W's. I recently had to use a different preamp for a while, and my bass got really muddy, desp... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I am sorry, but I stopped reading when you said your MC hummed. Mine doesn't. Get better equipment. I you correct this statement, then good.BTW, a friend has a Grace F-9 Ruby, and it is fine. I could live with it. | |
| Suspensions on turntable...really effective? On my wooden floored chalet in Tennessee, my suspended Ariston TT sounds best. Here on my South Florida wood covered concrete floor, my chunk of bathroom sink matching fake marble Kenwood sounds fine.Both have extra motor/platter/tonearm isolation... |
