| Sonus Faber Electa Amator III with Hegel at RMAF @mheinze You are right, the OP should absolutely listen to the A1 ( NOT the A3, as he wasn’t asking about that speaker...even though you thought to defend that model, as you own it). I recommended (speculated) what I did because...and here it is..... | |
| Hendrix blues Listen to Jimi on the album ’What’d I say’. Not particularly well recorded, BUT if you like Blues...his rendition of Driving South is truly astounding! The whole record is killer..and shows, at least to me, that Jimi was one of the best blues play... | |
| Sonus Faber Electa Amator III with Hegel at RMAF The SF EA3 is what you heard and liked...nothing wrong in that. The Magico, while it might be a good speaker, would probably be like Dave and Troy stated. Therefore, +1 @ Dave and Troy. | |
| ESL57 vs ESL63 The ’57’s are some of the most coherent speakers I have ever heard in the mids to the lower treble. The ’63’s are not quite as coherent, but they are a little more extended in both frequency extremes, IMO. Stacked ’57’s are pretty amazing IF you c... | |
| SACD Player--Do you use it and feel you'd replace it if it broke? @jafant. TAP told me that all of the parts are available for these models, they have no problem working on them. | |
| SACD Player--Do you use it and feel you'd replace it if it broke? I just upgraded my digital system to an Esoteric DV60. Sounds sublime on redbook and SACD. One thing I considered is whether the transport/sled can be replaced in the event of failure. The Esoteric offers this benefit; unfortunately the older Mara... | |
| Blood On The Tracks MoFi UD1S @hdm I think with the 'One Steps' it is a good idea to be somewhat cognizant of what the original master recording sounds like before placing an order.For example, what you stated about the Gaye release is to be somewhat expected based on what t... | |
| LP12- Power Supply- Need education @phoenixengr That is also correct. There is an optical reader that mounts under the platter and reads a mark on the platter every revolution. | |
| MORE Esoteric problems I recently bought a DV60, I was told by TAP that the sled and the transport are still available. I may look into buying a spare of these parts. | |
| LP12- Power Supply- Need education @phoenixengr I believe in the Linn Radikal upgrade the motor is a brushed DC design. | |
| LP12- Power Supply- Need education Ivor T used to believe that AC motors were the only way to go, that changed with the introduction of the Radikal...and its DC motor. ( Linn was never supposed to be interested in digital either...that also seems to have changed over the years.) No... | |
| LP12- Power Supply- Need education @mijostyn, Since you just posted that the last time you owned an LP12 was in 1980...I think that tells us all we need to know. “There is no way to set up a LP12 correctly”...i’m sure back in 1980 that was your experience. LMAO.”I have not playe... | |
| LP12- Power Supply- Need education @msnpassion. The LP12 Klimax...in its full guise consists of the Radikal Klimax motor controller, a Urika 2 phono stage...which is mounted on the Trampolin 2 base, the Keel sub-chassis and the latest corner reenforced plinth, the Cirkus bearing,th... | |
| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad Depends on the size of the room. Ideally, like others have said, if you have enough room ( this is the crucial aspect) then having the rack out of the plane of the speakers and at the side is best. OTOH, IF your room is too small, like mine, then ... | |
| LP12- Power Supply- Need education @mijostyn You say you lived with an LP12 for 10 years...when was that?...thirty years ago!! Funny thing, I used to own a SOTA Sapphire, liked it for the time, but sold it and replaced it with a VPI 19, which killed it...then i sold the VPI when i... |
