| Do Dealers think it is sinful.......... I buy from a dealer from the NYC area and he has always given me 25-30% off everything I have purchased from him.He also spends 10-15 minutes per phone call when I have a question on something he has or just for advice.I guess one just has to find... | |
| Isolation for turntables I went wild building a wall mount shelf for my P-25.I bought some heavy steel 18"long L brackets and bolted them to 2 2x4's which I then bolted to the wall.The bolts go through the wall to the outside where they are very tightly secured with nuts.... | |
| Preamp HELP!!! for Pass Aleph 3 As far as a tube preamp "not working" with a aleph-3 thats incorrect.My 99 mates very well with it.Maybe yours didnt but to say "tubes dont work" is silly.Second,if you read the reviews you will see many tried using different power cords with the ... | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendations Oh BTW you may be able to find a used one for $1500-$1800.Lots of dealer demos out there too since Mark added the Magnum upgrades to the newest Rogue products. | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendations I have a Rogue Audio 99 with phono.I replaced the stock tubes with Telefunkens and Radiotechniques.I enjoy the detail and bass very much.Also it throws a huge soundstage.Mark O'Brien is a first class guy too. | |
| Wrong direction? Stereophile is in my opinion already dead.I havent read a good issue in many months.As far as the "list" goes,cornfedboy hit it right on the head.What surprises me is Stereophile seems to be so blatently obvious about it. | |
| Cheap bi-wiring? Leafs you cant read as usual.Read what I wrote and dont twist things around.One will get better performance from a real good speaker in bi-wire than a mid-fi one.In other words a better resolving speaker.Is that clear enough.If you are looking to ... | |
| Best Turntable at $1,500? Please Advise. I lstened to the P-25 and the 1400.The P-25 sounded more dynamic,smoother and deeper bass.So I bought the P-25.Plus less money for better sound. | |
| Best Turntable at $1,500? Please Advise. Jim,I wasnt talkng about the "Regas" in general.The P-2 and P-3 are more than OK, but what I was recommending is the P-25 with the RB-600 tonearm.Specifically this table/arm.I would like to have a high priced T.T./ cartridge but cant afford both.I... | |
| Preamp HELP!!! for Pass Aleph 3 I use a Rogue Audio 99 with phono stuffed full of Telefunkens.With my Aleph-3 I get a monster of a soundstage,deep,tight bass and pristine highs.The mids are very tonally pure.My only problem is some slight upper mid forwardness.I think that will ... | |
| Best Turntable at $1,500? Please Advise. There is no "big problem" with the lack of VTA on the Rega arms.Add a spacer or 2,I found the angle with no spacer works the best for me. Big problem?? If it were so critical there wouldnt be so many arms sold,awesome reviews,MANY other table manu... | |
| Cheap bi-wiring? I believe one needs a real good speaker also to hear an improvement with bi-wiring.(IMO) Maybe thats why some dont hear the improvement and state "It doesnt work" Well maybe it doesnt on their speakers.HeyHorse,If you want a real good bi-wire set ... | |
| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? Most tweaks dont come cheaply.Keeping your connections clean is maybe the cheapest but doesnt last long enough.Blu-tak is good for under small speakers/stands.When I had small speaker I used poster putty @ a buck or so a slab.I couldnt see spendin... | |
| Turntable for Rega RB300 Arm If you want a KILLER table/arm combo save your pennies and get a Rega Planar-25 with the RB-600 arm.It is the best table for $2000 and under IMO and Rega offers a trade in allowance for a 3 to go up to a 25.Its a very nice allowance too! I had a 3... | |
