| Review: Audio Research D-70 mkII Tube amp Dhcod,The amp has the biasing stats in the manual. If you cannot source one, ARC has the parameters, I'm sure they would supply to you. As I stated above, the biasing procedure isn't for the faint of heart or less technically inclined...like mysel... | |
| Review: Audio Research Ref-3 Tube preamp Excellent review, Rhyno. It would be interesting to see how the Ref 3 performs with rolled in tubes. With my CAT, rolling in tubes was a very big upgrade, increasing dynamics, firming up the bass, and considerably opening up the soundstage. I woul... | |
| Anyone own Nordost TYR or ODIN? I recently placed Tyr ic and phono cable into my system and IMO, they are superb cables. Easily beating out my Highwire cabling that was no slouch. Resolution of fine detail and speed are the highlights of this cable. | |
| Linn LP12 vs. VPI Classic 1 and 3 Agree with Headsnappin. A well set Linn, should and does stay well set up for a very long time. That has been my experience. Many myths have been propagated about Linn's in the past, quickly falling out of a good setup is one of them. | |
| Linn LP12 vs. VPI Classic 1 and 3 Wynnosu, I agree with you. The poster who said the Linn is a POS either a) has never heard a Linn, or b) Has never heard a correctly set up Linn.Did you have a chance to hear the Classic 1 vs. the Classic 2,3 or 4? BTW, you have a great looking sy... | |
| Linn LP12 vs. VPI Classic 1 and 3 Pani, I agree with what you say. I ask the question on this forum to see what the consensus of opinion on this forum will be. OTOH, I can assure you that I NEVER buy any audio gear unless I have heard it in my own system and room first, regardless... | |
| HDCD Decoding ? Interesting post Elizabeth. I use an EAD 7000Mk3 DAC which decodes HDCD. I think it still competes well with the newer DAC's of today. Recently did an AB with the new Benchmark DAC...EAD was FAR more analog sounding. When I play any of the Ref Rec... | |
| Linn LP12 vs. VPI Classic 1 and 3 Buy both, Polk432! BTW, anyone compare the Linn Radikal vs. the VPI 3 or 4?Thoughts.. | |
| Nordost Frey interconnect hum Bo 1972, Wenn you use a REL sub, you have to make sure that it is dialed in correctly; that way when you listen to it, it will blend into the mix...;0) | |
| Nordost Frey interconnect hum Xti16, I have heard the Frey 2 ic's but not the speaker cables. I think the Tyr ic's are still superior to the Frey 2 ic's. Happy with my Frey sc's...for now:0) | |
| Nordost Frey interconnect hum Xti16, I too have the Frey sc's and am also using Tyr ic's. I think this is a great combo. | |
| Nordost Frey interconnect hum Bo1972, I used to own Highwire cables which replaced Audioquest cables. The Nordost are FAR more resolving than either cable. Not sure what your your system consists of, BUT in my system, the differences are easy to hear. The Nordost cables are fa... | |
| Linn LP12 vs. VPI Classic 1 and 3 Theo, I am of the same opinion as you. The upgrade path for the Linn is not IMO cost effective at all. I'm not tied to the VPI's, but they do seem to be easy to source and I have heard great things about the Classic 3 and 4. When I heard the Class... | |
| Linn LP12 vs. VPI Classic 1 and 3 Pani, I have to disagree with you. The VPI's and the Linn's are there to recreate the most accurate sound off the record. Simply by listening to the two, I believe one can formulate which is the more accurate and realistic to the "live". After all... | |
| Nordost Frey interconnect hum Bo1972, you think the Red Dawn rev2 and Baldur are better than the Frey cables?? I have Red Dawn rev2 and Frey and Tyr in my system and I can tell you the Red Dawn's are at the bottom of the heap. Red Dawn rev2 is a good cable, particularly for th... |
