| How long should a cartridge last? You should have gotten a trade in for your old shelter 501. The replacement price is $650-$700, somewhere in between. This is from Axiss audio, the importer. Not setting up the Cartridge properly will shorten the life. My last Shelter 501 had abou... | |
| Herron VTPH-2 I recently went to a VTPH-2 from a eastern electric minimax phono. Now the mini max had about $300 worth of carefully selected NOS tubes and I continue to think the minimax is the best buy in phono amps, that being said, I like the Herron more. It... | |
| Thiel speaker placement - am I crazy? I am glad your system is sounding better, one must adjust it to their ears and space. But, back to your original question. Yes, you are crazy. Enjoy the insanity. | |
| for the ultimate vinyl analog lover---when you die I'd die if my vinyl was full of my ashes, how would my RCM get that crap out of the grooves. | |
| The Hub: News, events, gossip - Sound by Singer to close Audiogon-bill, don't forget Jacob Marley. As seen above there are those that had positive experiences with SbyS and remember those with enough fondness to weigh in on a positive note. Jacob was the first ghost and expressed his concern for his old... | |
| The Hub: News, events, gossip - Sound by Singer to close Boy, from what I have read on this and other sites I sure hope that Mr. Singer gets visited by four ghosts real soon. | |
| The CD player is dead....... Ok, you say "sell your cd player and embrace the future". Who do we sell it too, wouldn't those people who would purchase the used cd player be morons as well for buying a cd player? I will forward a copy of this thread to a friend who's computer ... | |
| Need suggestions about replacing a Classe' 2200 I have the CA2200 and it is a wonderful amp. I chose it for my system over the Pass 250.5, Mac402, Sim W7 and Nagra PSA. If I was to look at something in a mono-bloc I would probably audition the Classe M400 and would love to try the Pass XA60 but... | |
| Quick poll: Most enjoyable audio magazine ? For me it used to be HiFi+ but they have really gone down hill lately, even to the point of the local book store seems to be still waiting for thier december issues to arrive. Now it would be a toss between TAS and Stereophile. I prefer a few of t... | |
| Billy Bags Cracked Glass I know the english are fond of glass and the Naim Fraim are very highly regarded rack systems. I will probably give the Billy Bags cracked glass a try, awaiting to see color samples. | |
| Still point risers or Racing cones? I use stillpoints but they are not always the "Best". On my Classe CA2200 power amp, a real benefit, would not use them without. My Belles 21A, very nice, cleaner and more detail than BDR cones and Herbies Iso-cups and ebony balls. On Mini Max pho... | |
| Belles 22A users yet? I did get a chance to audition a VTL 5.5 series II for a week and it was much better. There was a small wiring error in my first one and VTL was very quick to address the issue. The VTL series II as a whole was better than my 21A. The VTL had more... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck or Pro-ject 9.1? I would compare the nottingham to the Pro-ject 10.1. I have heard both and own the spacedeck. I am biased and do prefer the nottingham but the 10.1 is very nice, it has a nicer base but I did upgrade my Spacedeck with a custom base from Silent Run... | |
| Sonus Faber Fenice Now that is a new look. Not nearly as stunning as the strad. Will look forward to reading more information as it comes out. | |
| RE: Better...Classe CA-2200 or Levinson 333-5-6? I have not heard the 350.5 but with the parsifals I don't think it would make much difference to me. I don't listen to music load, don't require vise like base control and really enjoy the sweetness of music in the mid range. Now if I could I woul... |
