| Matching Amp to Wilson Sophia 2 In my search for a new amp for my Verity Parsifals I spent a day listening to the ARC Ref. 110 with the Sophia II's. It was nice but was a bit forward in the upper mids and a little light in the base. This was with the ARC 26 pre and ref phono, cl... | |
| who needs a cd player anymore Usarmyvet91, yes, I have tried the wadia and have listened to it in other systems as well. Wonderful product. But it is not the same as my Naim CDX2. It is convenient, the attributes you speak of in your initial post were about convenience, not so... | |
| 'In Home Dealers' are the future? My brick and morter dealers have been wonderful and I support them 100%. Due dilligence, one cannot get a full sense of system synergy when adding a new product until after having added it. My dealer has saved me several thousand dollars by allowi... | |
| who needs a cd player anymore Yep, use my cd player about every day. Haven't used my Ipod in months cuz it just doesn't sound all that good. | |
| nottingham 294 or spacedeck A few years ago, when the Ace Space and 294 came on the market I had the chance to listen to the Spacedeck, AceSpace and 294 together. I thought the Ace Space and 294 were a little more detailed and the bass maybe a little more solid. Then I heard... | |
| New to Vinyl - Need Some Advice Go to the ASL web site and download the dealer manual instructions, they are pretty good. | |
| Cheap Plater dust cover Nottingham uses a non cut LP disc. What you could do is buy an old beat up record for a dollar and use that. It would be cheaper than the pizza. | |
| Clearaudio Symphony I came across your post while googling the same question. Ihave heard the clearaudio concerto and liked it very very much and would highly recommend it. I have not heard the symphony so I cannot be of much help, but if you if the concerto is in yo... | |
| how many hours? I have heard from 1500hrs to 4000 hrs for a good moving coil. 600hrs would be about 4-5months life for some people I know and I have never heard of anyone wearing one out that fast. Clearaudio has a two year warranty on thier MC carts and recently... | |
| MiniMax Phono the shelter 501 with my acespace arm gave a calculated resonance frequency of just over 15hz, definetly at the high end of things. The clearaudio compliance with higher and calculated resonance was just at 11hz, much better. Both sounded great how... | |
| MiniMax Phono No, I don't remember which issue but perhaps if you did a google you would find it and many others. I use a shelter 501 mk II right now, I have also heard it with a shelter 7000, very nice, and a clearaudio concerto, very very nice. I think the co... | |
| The Economy.. will hi end audio mfgs lower prices? When I first started looking at the Naim CDX2 it was $5600.00, it went up to 6150.00 and more recently back to 5600.00. Sonus Faber just had a sale of speakers. I think that there will be a reshuffling of prices in some areas and consumers will be... | |
| MiniMax Phono I would strongly recommend it in MC only. I did listen to it with a dynavecto 10x5 and felt it was only so-so, a little flat and thin. I would recommend reading michael fremers old review of this phono stage and it will explain why. It is a good p... | |
| dynaudio s5.4 vs. c2 in a smaller room I have listened to both and used to own the C1. I would think that the c2 would be better in a small room. | |
| MiniMax Phono I use my Mini Max with a nottingham ace space/spacedeck and shelter 501 MkII. I have also heard it with the Clearaudio Concerto and that will probably be my next cartridge. One thing I cannot recommend highly enough, a tube upgrade. I had Andy at ... |
