| Any Linn LP12 owners in So Cal get the Karousel bearing upgrade? @mabonn I posted my impressions on the new Karousel bearing in the members review section, it is a superb upgrade. If you believe mijostyn above, and really why would you, lol; then its time to trade in a superior turntable! Anyhow, to answer your... | |
| Rockport Atria II or Magico A5 Harbeth’s seem to like some power upstream. But, I suppose from Alan Shaw’s perspective 25 watts is enough to drive them. There certainly does seem like there are folks who like to listen at low levels in small rooms, and those that like concert h... | |
| Rockport Atria II or Magico A5 I think the philosophy of finding the speaker first and then trying to acquire the appropriate amp could lead to an expensive mistake. Take for instance the pricey YG’s ( which I think are excellent speakers), here we have a good example. One of ... | |
| Rockport Atria II or Magico A5 @rhapsody Thanks for your information on the required amp to drive the A5. I think this would rule out a lot of great sounding gear. I also believe that very careful amp/speaker matching is going to be required with the A5's, given what you poste... | |
| An audio rack that really does make a difference. @duckworp Interesting post about the CM CS Footers, I have heard very mixed results about these...some raves, and a lot of disappointments. One thing, they are sure pricey! I wonder if you could elaborate a little as to your post. BTW, the reason... | |
| 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... |
