| REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers I own a JR model 8T. I had the same type of issues as you. Having contacted REL, I was told to hook up the system essentially the same way, yellow on the positive left, red on the positive right and the black to the negative ( neutral) of the red ... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. @smodtactical. The small Carmel 2’s are an interesting design, not sure that they would be extended enough in the lows for me, but I guess with added subs, they could indeed be a contender. | |
| Sonus Faber peeling leather Looking at the pics that you posted, it looks like the cause of the damage to the leather was either shipping, or vandalism. Doesn't look to me to be a factory defect. | |
| Radikal Linn LP12 or Palmer 2.5? @latenitecity Glad that you made a choice that sounds and works well in your system. I totally understand where you are coming from in your selection. The Blackbird is a very nice TT. I think that there was no wrong answer here. Blackbird, LP12 or... | |
| Wilson v Sonus Faber @jsautter Funny that you should bring up the fact that the old Wilson tweeter was terrible ( which I agree with you 100%!). BUT we have to remember who Wilson were attempting to impress as their customer. The older guy with a very flexible walle... | |
| Sonus Faber Electa Amator III with Hegel at RMAF @mheinze You are right, the OP should absolutely listen to the A1 ( NOT the A3, as he wasn’t asking about that speaker...even though you thought to defend that model, as you own it). I recommended (speculated) what I did because...and here it is..... | |
| Hendrix blues Listen to Jimi on the album ’What’d I say’. Not particularly well recorded, BUT if you like Blues...his rendition of Driving South is truly astounding! The whole record is killer..and shows, at least to me, that Jimi was one of the best blues play... | |
| Sonus Faber Electa Amator III with Hegel at RMAF The SF EA3 is what you heard and liked...nothing wrong in that. The Magico, while it might be a good speaker, would probably be like Dave and Troy stated. Therefore, +1 @ Dave and Troy. | |
| ESL57 vs ESL63 The ’57’s are some of the most coherent speakers I have ever heard in the mids to the lower treble. The ’63’s are not quite as coherent, but they are a little more extended in both frequency extremes, IMO. Stacked ’57’s are pretty amazing IF you c... | |
| SACD Player--Do you use it and feel you'd replace it if it broke? @jafant. TAP told me that all of the parts are available for these models, they have no problem working on them. | |
| SACD Player--Do you use it and feel you'd replace it if it broke? I just upgraded my digital system to an Esoteric DV60. Sounds sublime on redbook and SACD. One thing I considered is whether the transport/sled can be replaced in the event of failure. The Esoteric offers this benefit; unfortunately the older Mara... | |
| Blood On The Tracks MoFi UD1S @hdm I think with the 'One Steps' it is a good idea to be somewhat cognizant of what the original master recording sounds like before placing an order.For example, what you stated about the Gaye release is to be somewhat expected based on what t... | |
| LP12- Power Supply- Need education @phoenixengr That is also correct. There is an optical reader that mounts under the platter and reads a mark on the platter every revolution. | |
| MORE Esoteric problems I recently bought a DV60, I was told by TAP that the sled and the transport are still available. I may look into buying a spare of these parts. | |
| LP12- Power Supply- Need education @phoenixengr I believe in the Linn Radikal upgrade the motor is a brushed DC design. |
