| SCHEU Premier substitution Hi Sirspeedy,Scheu got a real visual winner on their hands with the new table. I cannot wait to hear the sonic benefits of this design (if any). It is interesting that they are moving away from the one of the primary design criterion of the late T... | |
| SCHEU Premier substitution I can understand your frustration, Ad010685. But, don't give up so quickly, the performance of the table is incredible. Really on par with the other tables you are considering at a far lower price. I have two Premier mkII's (one w/ 50mm & 80mm... | |
| SCHEU Premier substitution Hi Ad010685,As you've noticed, Scheu has introduced a new website not too long ago and not everything works properly on it, so emails may not be getting to them.From your post on Audio Asylum and Inmate ID, I see you are in Italy. As Restock menti... | |
| Opinions on Todd Rundgren fronting the New Cars? Rundgren is a great experimenter, no doubt. And he definetly deserves credit for never getting stuck in a groove for too long.But, I just don't see how The Cars monotonic music(which I like) is going to survive his guitar pyrotechnics. There's not... | |
| Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences I remeber reading in a thread that DougDeacon and his partner did some serious comparing between the two before settling on a Triplanar for it's ease of repeatable, cablibrated, adjustments. Hopefully he'll jump in with some insights.And I'm prett... | |
| Opinions on Todd Rundgren fronting the New Cars? Egads, Two parts The CarsTwo parts UtopiaOne part The TubesHopefully, the upside will be that The Cars won't be as deathly boring live as they were in their heyday.Any chance for "White Punks On Dope", "Number 1 Lowest Common Denominator", and "La... | |
| PX-25 Tubes. Too exotic?? Pawlowski6132,Are you asking about vintage NOS PX-25's? Osram, Marconi, etc. PX-25 are available from tube collector/dealers, but they start at ~$1,000 a pair and go up up to $2,000 or more(?). But, as I said in my first post, there are 3 current ... | |
| Transformer based passives vs passive stepladder Gliderguider,Do you know which version of the S&B Transformers your Bent has in it? The mkI & mkIII versions are supposed to be noticably superior to the mkII. I really haven't noticed any of the problems you mention going from my phono pr... | |
| Have any experience with Richard Gray power stuff? I've had a RG Pole Pig with a Substation 400S plugged into it in my system for a little over a wek now on loan from a local dealer, Paul Lim of Imagine Hifi.I've had to endure an annoying hum/buzz in my AC line since I upgraded my system to high-e... | |
| DaVinci Tonearm Tmij,You state "I do lust for it and would swap my Dyna DV507mkII in a heartbeat", is there any particular reasons why you would give up the 507 mkII?Does it's it's 3 lb. weight cause probems with the balance of your Yorke 7?The reason I ask is th... | |
| ... Newbie looking for sonic heaven with SETs... Hi johnstax,Man, you've assembled some great components for going at this hodge-podge! I just went through exactly what you are facing a few years ago. It is a daunting task and try to go into accepting that the odds of "getting it right" with you... | |
| Transformer based passives vs passive stepladder Thanks for the clarification Atmasphere.In the case of my S&B TVC, I run true balanced output from the transformers and balanced interconnects to Jensen JT-11P4-1 input transformers which do the conversion back to single-ended for my amps. Exc... | |
| Amplifier for Vandersteen 3A sigs? My brother has the 3A Sigs and he took the traditional, most recommended, route - Audio Research 100.2 SS amp w/ AR LS16 mkII preamp. That combo is guaranteed to deliver satisfying results. Why not check out the AR 300.2? There's a used one here f... | |
| Transformer based passives vs passive stepladder Hi Atmasphere (Ralph?),Don't active tube preamps face similar hysterisis issues with their own output transformers?I have a DIY S&B transformer volume control and am very, very, happy with the performance in my fairly resolving system. I'm not... | |
