| Looking for help on upgrading my entire vinyl rig. It will be interesting to know what the Sutherland does for the sound of your current carts. | |
| Rega RB300 tonearm VTA adjusters I never found the Michell adjuster very easy to use. | |
| Rogues Cronus Magnum -KT120 version Integrated amp I wish they'd had this version earlier. I was not impressed with the regular Cronus with EL34 tubes.The KT-120s are also a big step up in Rogue's M-180 monoblocks.I've tried clear tops and bugle boys in the M-180s, but I've gone back to the Philip... | |
| Best classical SACDs out there I actually have the 24/96 download of this, but it's heavenly:http://www.amazon.com/Mozart-Clarinet-Concerto-Wolfgang-Amadeus/dp/B0000E69HF(But it seems only the Quintet was recorded at 96 kHz.) | |
| Looking for help on upgrading my entire vinyl rig. I think upgrading to a phono pre that doesn't limit your choice of carts is a good idea. For the TT, you'll probably want to look for a good TT/arm/cart bundle (or at least a TT/arm bundle), so I'd put off any decision about carts until after you ... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD I've been very impressed with what I've heard of the Vanska set. It's certainly the best sounding Beethoven I've heard. | |
| SB Touch...buh bye. Hello Android Media Box... Can the Android box do 24/96? Also, can you create your own menus like Custom Browse? | |
| Beethoven Violin Sonatas---favorites and recs How is Francescatti's playing "unmusical". In my experience "unmusical" just means "I don't like it", but maybe you have more specifics. | |
| I heard BAT was sold I noticed that the 3iX was not available at musicdirect.com. It's still listed as a current product at balanced.com. | |
| Beethoven Violin Sonatas---favorites and recs Franscescatti/Casadesus and Suk/Panenka. Both stereo, but neither audiophile quality, I suppose. | |
| Phono advice for my current set up please? The 10x5 is a nice sounding cartridge, but you can easily better it. The Dynavector 20x2 (the low output version) is an obvious upgrade, and I believe you can get a trade-in discount.I have a 20x low-output (the previous incarnation of the Dynavec... | |
| Upscale audio advice I'm using Genalex Gold Lion 6922 reissues in my 3iX. Pricey for a current production tube, but they have very nice "tone". I've tried some orange globe Amperex 6DJ8s, but otherwise haven't experimented much with NOS tubes in this pre-amp. | |
| Forgotten early New Wave... 20/20, a fantastic power pop band from L.A. http://www.amazon.com/20-Look-Out/dp/B008BBSGI8 | |
| Heeeelp New used BAT Vxi3 - Hisssssssss The max gain of the Parasound is probably higher than ideal for the pre-amp, so try turning it down via the gain knobs on the back of the amp (nice feature!).Speaking for myself, it's OK if I can discern the hiss at the listening position when fli... | |
| New tubes in Rogue M-180 Monoblocks Thanks for the update, Actusreus. I've already had the 120s biased at 40mA for a couple days now. Perhaps it's my imagination, but the sound is perhaps a bit more present. |
