| Belles 22A users yet? I actually had a VT-01 in the house along with the new phono stage that has not yet been produced for market. I did like the VT-01 but did not find it greatly different from the 21A, though it had stock tubes and power cord. I think the case work ... | |
| Belles 22A users yet? I will add a bit to the above. I have been searching for a replacement for my 21A with auricap preamp for a couple of years. I just feel I should have a better preamp for my system. I am constantly left with a feeling that there is not much to be ... | |
| shelter 501 mk2 with sme 309 I would agree with what Elizabeth said. I have the shelter and love it. My dealer has had the Dynavector Karat 17D3 and if my phono stage could handle it's output I would love to give it a try, very detailed without being shrill at all. I have not... | |
| vibration system control Another option would be Silent Running Audio. They would have to make the base specifically for your turntable. I can't say it is the best as I have never tested every option but I am very happy with mine for my Nottingham. | |
| Solid state preamp warm up time? I don't know what you have for a preamp and amp but I would worry about the safety of leaving the amp on and turning the pre off and on. | |
| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. Well, this may be a stretch but Antony Hegarty from Antony and the Johnsons comes to mind. I would argue that it is a female voice though not necessarily from a female. Joanne Newsome fits the unusual but some may feel not so mesmerizing. One I th... | |
| Wilson Sophia 3 When is the Sasha 2 comming out? The Sophia 4? | |
| Mac 402 or 501 for B&W 802D? I think the 802D is a great speaker. The fact that they continue to sound better with better amps is not a detractor but speaks highly of the quality of the speaker. I have heard the 802D with the 402 and 501 and preferred the 501, more detail, ne... | |
| MFSL Gold cd's I have a few, including dark side of the moon, and have compared them with many of my standard CD's. My standard ones are worth about $10, the MFSL Gold are better in most cases, I would value them at $11. | |
| Classics Clarity Vinyl I purchased a couple of dozen Classic 180gm and they were all perfect. When they went to the 200gm I got about 1/2 that were from good to perfect,(a few pops to perfectly quiet) a few that were bad but not worth the trouble of sending back and abo... | |
| EAR 868 VS Belles 21A? Wig, I use a pair of Mirror Matched RCA 5814A from the 1950's. These tested very low Mic. and are the 3 Mica type. I got one set from Andy at Vintage Tube Service and they sounded so good I got a second set as backup. I am still using the first se... | |
| EAR 868 VS Belles 21A? I have not but I have compared many preamps to my 21A Auricap and I have always returned to the Belles. I did like a few more, the ARC Ref 3 provided a little more air, detail and was a little more musical but lost a little warmth and base, overal... | |
| Schematics Well, that's about the silliest question I have heard. | |
| Best power conditioner? I had a Shunyata Hydra 6 with 20amp Python power cord and recently changed to the Audience Adept with audience cords. They sound different and I can see where on initial impression the Audience may be more impressive. After several weeks of listen... | |
| Where to go from a Shelter 901 Mk1. Could try the 901 MkII. I have not heard it but I believe there is a review in a past copy of Tone Audio online magazine. |
