| Recommendation for MM cartridge to fit Linn Ittok LVII arm that will outperform Adikt @masi61 What you have decided to do probably makes the mosts sense and goes along with the Linn upgrade protocol. Should be an excellent increase in SQ. | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc @rauliruegas I'm not going to say all digital recordings are not great, just the majority of them, IME. OTOH, I can think of one that is actually reference quality...and it is the MoFi Allison Krauss and Union station Live album. This one is a su... | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc @rauliruegas You posted this:" The level of stress on that precise live recording by the artist/player". Which brings about my point! | |
| Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers @edgewear I think that a speaker and a system that is ultra revealing is in fact a major plus. While this system will sound horrible on a lot of poorly recored music, it will also sound amazing on well recorded pieces. Therefore, I believe that o... | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc @rauliruegas What you just posted accounts for the differences in music/performance, not so much to the sound of the recording. IMHO, there are a lot more excellent sounding Opus 3 LP's than there are D to D LP's. From a recording perspective- an... | |
| Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers @edgewear You bring up an interesting point. As your system gets more and more resolving and accurate, you will unfortunately hear more of the recording, warts and all. Since the vast majority of recorded music is done so poorly, you are now stuck... | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc @rauliruegas Not sure what racing drivers and their abilities have to do with this discussion?? BTW, "Now if in your system you can't detect that big difference in between then could be maybe because your room/system has not yet the resolution to ... | |
| Recommendation for MM cartridge to fit Linn Ittok LVII arm that will outperform Adikt A MM cartridge would not be my first choice...However, the Hana line is quite good, or maybe one of the new Clearaudio MM’s. As to your hum issue, you are connecting a grounding wire from the tonearm wiring to the phono preamp..yes? | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc @rauliruegas I totally agree with oldears, the Opus 3 Lp’s are superb on many levels. They do NOT have a hyped up sound that a lot of D to D’s do. I think my system is perfectly capable of hearing the differences between the two formats, which is ... | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc @rauliruegas Interesting post that you said about the Opus 3 LP's not being in the 'same league' as the well recorded D to D's. Maybe you could elaborate on why you think that. Owning a large number of both D to D's and Opus 3's, I think that the... | |
| Audio Research Classic 30: how does it compare to ARC current power amps? @shastasheen65 You post a very interesting question. How far have ARC come in their amp designs from the Classic 30 to today. I used to own and love a ARC D70Mk2...a superb amp. I did have the opportunity to compare it with an ARC Ref 75 and IMO ... | |
| Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers @rocray Only good so long as you are on the third floor with non-re-enforced flooring joists. | |
| Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers @tablejockey LOL, best post here so far, IMO. | |
| Tube Preamp with Solid State Amp? Tonight I hooked up my ss Jeff Rowland to match up with my CAT SL1 5000 series. The tube preamp is always, at least in my systems, the heart of the system. When I want a little sweeter sound and with slightly more depth, then I utilize my tube mon... | |
| TechDAS lll experience @mijostyn I heard the Grand Prix Monaco 2.0. It was matched with a carbon fibre Triplanar Arm and a Lyra Etna. One of the best sounding analog front ends that I have heard. Extremely quiet in the groove and very resolving, plus the speed control ... |
