| Linn LP12 vs VPI prime / classic / signature You ask an interesting question. I have heard both tables, not in my system though. The Linn is the table that I own, if that tells you something.. The VPI Classic is a nice sounding table with some decent attributes...the basic model was priced a... | |
| Replacement Sonus Faber grille strings? @french_fries I think that price from SF was for the material only, then you had to have someone string them...another crazy cost!I certainly hope someone would invent a grill replacement that would fit on the speaker. I have been recently tighten... | |
| Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier G. I run my mono blocks off the same circuit. Admittedly they do not pull that much current off the wall. However, I was initially not doing this and was running them like you suggest. I found that I was getting more noise this way, and was told i... | |
| Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier G. Very interested in your results once you are up and running again. Questions..shouldn’t you plug the 925’s into one AC circuit, either AC circuit 1 or AC circuit 3...and not one amp into a separate circuit, like you contemplate?Are the circuits... | |
| Break in time that extends to months or maybe even years!! @heaudio123 Couple of questions for you...What is your definition of a ’burned in’ unit? When do you consider an effect 'audible'? | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon I have heard all of the Harbeth models. They have a family sound that is extremely attractive. Warmth is a word that comes to mind with these speakers...which, although something of a dirty word these days in high end, is where I believe a lot of ... | |
| Are 500 hours too many for a used hi-end cartridge? @bukanona. Unfortunately, several of my old mono LPS are ruined due to a worn stylus. Now, I grant you, if you don’t mind a ton of snap, crackle and pop, then one could still listen to these...with the cartridges you suggest. | |
| Are 500 hours too many for a used hi-end cartridge? @chakster Before you call someone’s statement as questionable, look at what you are going to write first. Your post about a conical stylus is comical.@bukanona I own a number of mono records, some of them are just about unlistenable...because they... | |
| Break in time that extends to months or maybe even years!! @cleeds ARC didn't state anything about the long break in time in the manual of the piece I am referring to ( I did not say they did, you somehow read that?) , but in a response to a review, this was recommended. I doubt any company mentions much... | |
| Not impressed Very interesting OP. There used to be an argument that it was foolish to spend really big $$ on audio gear, better to use less money and attend a lot of live music. Or, if the budget is big enough, which these days for the cost of some systems, it... | |
| Break in time that extends to months or maybe even years!! @phd Question is how many users that you were referencing leave their gear on all the time, or listen as often as it takes to actually break the gear in. The ARC preamp I mentioned, would have required a number of months or more...perhaps more th... | |
| The bass is the place... Might be useful to define what I consider to be accurate bass. That is the sound of a bass drum or stand up bass that can be heard in the listeners room with the ability to fool the listener into believing that the ’real un-amplified’ instrument i... | |
| Break in time that extends to months or maybe even years!! @djones51 Your console unit still sounds good to you doesn't it..? | |
| Are 500 hours too many for a used hi-end cartridge? One thing to consider when buying a used cartridge, and I know that the folks trying to sell them will NOT like this! That is, it is fairly well known that just one (1) play of a record with a damaged stylus is going to ruin that record! So, if yo... | |
| Break in time that extends to months or maybe even years!! G, Now I see what you are getting at with the stereo amps bridged for mono. That would have been an interesting experiment. Meanwhile, do post back in your thread when you have had a chance to AB vs the 925's. |
