| Graceline cable from Black Cat cables Having compared the new Graceline model 1 to the 3202 and the Coppertone, I can tell you that the Graceline is a more 'refined' sounding cable...and a little more resolving than the other two. There is a family resemblance in Chris' cables and thi... | |
| Rockport Atria II or Magico A5 I asked this question on another forum and was immediately flamed...so I will put on my flame suit and ask it here...How much power is required to truly drive the new A5's? IOW, for those with SET's or low powered amps...say below 50 watts/ch, are... | |
| The Sonus Faber Maxima Amator...worth a look. @tonnesen Thanks for posting the link to the mini-review. The new Maxima would appear to be constructed of solid walnut, which these days is a rarity in speaker production. For someone with a small room, who cannot accommodate the speaker in tabl... | |
| The Linn Karousel bearing. @vitussl101. I can tell you that there was absolutely nothing wrong with my LP12 when I changed out the original bearing and heard the significant across the board improvements with the then new Cirkus bearing. If you ask most folk who own Linns t... | |
| The Sonus Faber Maxima Amator...worth a look. @zipost Unfortunately, like many folk, you have now made a wide generalization about a company, that frankly is far from correct! The entry level SF's are made in China, not so the upper end models, including the new model that I reference in my ... | |
| B&W vs. Sonus Faber @andrewmr +1The SF G's are an incredible speaker that I think have few if any peers. Certainly I can think of no stand mount that betters them. Adding a sub (or two) is the way to go, but it needs to be a fast and agile sub. B&W's tempt me on... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @thom_at_galibier_design Well Thom, I did learn that there is a member who uses Brake Cleaning fluid on his records, and to him I am Victorian. There is that, lol. | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 @rauliruegas LOL, now that you clarify your post to include MF as his marketing director ( and you could add as his ad writer as well), I agree with you 100%. It boggles my mind that ANYONE would buy a product as expensive as the SAT arm ( or wors... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! Not sure how my thread went from inquiring about the age old anti-static formulation that RCA was using on their vinyl, and which seems to work like a charm, even decades later...to: Brake Cleaning fluid used to clean one members LP's!! Just goes ... | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 @rauliruegas Raul, I agree with almost everything that you state in your post. However, you assume that Marc Gomez has a marketing director, do we know this? Also, even if he does, surely as the owner of the company he would have final say over s... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @mijostyn As a long time record collector, calling me Victorian is quite a complement. LOL.@antinn Thanks for attempting to bring some common sense and experience to this thread. +1 | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @mijostyn No record of mine is ever going near Brake cleaning fluid, just like no record of mine is going in a plastic inner sleeve, they only go into rice paper sleeves. YMMV | |
| If Nordost won't shorten & terminate it's own speaker cables who can please? Thank you! The rep for Nordost told my dealer that the factory cannot re-terminate my phono cable going from RCA to DIN. I am under the impression that it is technically not possible, BUT I have a very hard time understanding this. Nordost did re-terminate m... | |
| Rockport owners. Isn't the Alexx a lot more $$ than the other two? What are you planning on driving these speakers with? | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @cleeds Or, maybe’s he’s wrong! Or, maybe for his definition of clean and his expectation of what a ’clean’ LP sounds like, maybe that is good enough...and you are correct...maybe he’s right (for him)! I’m not buying it though. |
