| Best Tonearm Upgrades for Linn LP12 I too had a Basik Plus arm.Changed it out with my current Well Tempered Arm. If you can find one grab it....HUUUUUGE difference. Mine has been modded with VDH wiring, dual weighting and new arm wand. However,prior to the mods the diff between the ... | |
| What is the best CDP to be used as a Transport? Abex, if you can try a EAD 7000 Mk 3 or 9000, you might want to keep your cd80. They have a great interface and are pretty reliable. Just a thought. | |
| Review: Philips CD-880 CD Player Newyorkjosh,I got the EAD 7000 Mk 111 about two weeks ago. The CD 80 is now hooked up to it via a Harmonic Tech Cyber Platinum IC and the sound is amazing.I have the CD80 on its own dedicated stand with Combak Harmonix footers beneath it. Did an A... | |
| best upgrade for 'standard' LP12 Praudio, I am also curious about the power cord. On my LP12 the power cord is hard wired in. How to change it out? BTW I sit my table on a Seismic sink which really sounds amazing.. big improvement IMHO. | |
| What is the best CDP to be used as a Transport? I also have a CD 80 and am using it now with an EAD 7000 Mk 111. IMHO this makes a pretty tough to beat combo. I am going to interested also in the replies to this thread.Have you tried any other transports? | |
| Review: Philips CD-880 CD Player I also own a CD80 from circa '89. It does not say Bitstream anywhere on it. However, I am pretty sure it samples at 16bit 4X. I am getting ready to use it as a transport only with a EAD 7000 that has been upgraded to Mk 3 status. I wander if anyon... | |
| Am I missing something in the MFSL Tarkus LP That's the problem Marakenetz, the MFSL Lp costs about 20 times the original! I just must be missing something, because most of the MFSL 200G's are awesome. This one just seems to be no better than any other 70's processed Lp. I checked the phase,... | |
| ONE shot to show off your System's Stuff On CD I would definitely go with the soundtrack from Gladiator, on Lp I think a mint copy of Muddy Waters' Folk Singer on MFSL 200G. | |
| speaker placement in a tough room, please help. Rives and Kana813, thanks for the responses. I always prefer to listen in a dark room regardless of size, since I agree with you that the distractions are absent and the music seems to bloom more. Incidentally, the Hales Sig's 2 have little bass i... | |
| speaker placement in a tough room, please help. Rives, thanks for the response. Oddly enough when I had these speakers in a largish room ( 20x15) the sound was actually inferior than in my current smaller room (15x13).This effect has been noticed by me on numerous systems, the intimacy of the p... | |
| speaker placement in a tough room, please help. Thanks Rives,the room has a continuous slope from low to high. The room will be used as a dedicated room, I'm a little worried about how small it is, but these days in S.Cal the price of the room makes the equipment price seem almost inconsequential. | |
| benz ruby Used to own the Ruby,now own the Ruby 2. In a nutshell, the original Ruby, circa 1990 had an output of 0.2mv, while the Ruby 2 has 0.3mv. The Ruby 2 is a little more resolving and airy in the top end. According to Garth the new Ruby 2 is a biig im... | |
| Best Phono stage for a .3 mv Ruby 2 ? I use my Ruby 2 with the CAT signature phono stage. Seems like a match made in heaven, the Ruby likes to be loaded down to about 700 ohms,IMHO much airier and resolving than at the standard 47K.Plenty of gain with the CAT, even had enough gain wit... | |
| Has anyone heard the Usher Audio Speakers Heard these a couple of months ago. Sorry can't remember which model,but it had the Thiel ceramic drivers and a 10"bass driver. Sound was truly exceptional, great imaging with a high end that was smooth and non-fatiguing.The bass was good down to ... | |
