| Power cord for Belles 350A Reference I have a Belles 150A reference and I have used shunyata Tiapan, Python but the one I liked the best was the Audience Powerchord. Very nice, neutral and detailed. | |
| Does this bother anyone else? Actually, I was only using that album as an example. With one vendor I would pre-order and place the title on my "Wish List" so I did not forget that I may have that album comming. I cancelled all of these a few months ago when I realized that I h... | |
| Dynaudio Special 25's I also have the special 25 and really enjoy them. They do not need lots of power, but they continue to seem to sound better and better with better quality amp and source. I really like my belles seperates but would really like to try the Mac 2275 ... | |
| Blue Note 45rpm reissue Just got my reciept, the next two are on the way! I have listened to the first two sets from music matters and they are a little different the the originals, much quieter. In some ways I have learned to appreciate the "record player ambience" of t... | |
| Dynaudio C1 + Mcintosh 275 amp, do they match? I think that it might make a very nice pairing. Though the Dynaudio's are thought of as being "power hungry" I think that quality of electronics is more important. The C1 are not real efficient but the impedence curve does not have dramatic dips b... | |
| How do you know that a record is really worn? On a serious note, if you use a well adusted TT, clean your records well and maintain the system you should be able to get several hundred plays out of a vinyl record before any significant loss of signal. Clean and a properly set up TT is the key. | |
| Power Cable for Belles 150A Reference I have that amp and love it, tried some others and went back to the belles. I have been happiest with the Audience PowerChord on my amp. In my old apartment I plugged the amp into my Shunyata Hydra 6 but my new place has much better electicity, (n... | |
| How do you know that a record is really worn? When you are playing side one and you start hearing the tracks from side two. | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri Memento's I just spent the weekend auditioning audio with the thought of planning my future upgrades. One of the standouts was Ayre equipment. Though I was primarily looking at carts and speakers the Ayre I listened to from the entry end all the way through... | |
| Nottingham Space Deck 294 I listened to the 294 and Ace Space when they first came out. Both with Shelter 501 going through an Aesthetix Rhea phono stage and the same system. Had to think awhile and was not sure I heard a significant difference so I ordered an Ace Space. U... | |
| Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms Because we already have 9" arms and as there are a limited number of audiophiles who listen to vinyl and a business needs to keep doing business we need to learn that all of our current equipment is no longer any good and that we need to replace i... | |
| Blue Note 45rpm reissue Dan_ed, when I recieved my first two I inspected them very very closely with a magnifing glass, cleaned them carefully with a vpi and re-inspected them. On the second side of one album I found a flaw in the grooves that I could see with the magnif... | |
| Blue Note 45rpm reissue Dan_ed, check the web site, www.musicmattersjazz.com, they address the mono vs. stereo well. I am not sure if they are still taking subscription orders or not, they were very helpful when I called. The site also discusses their special jackets etc. | |
| Blue Note 45rpm reissue I just got notification of the next two being sent. I did end up subscribing direct from Music Matters for the full 64 lps. It will take away from my general music fund however I am discovering that I cannot have all the music, vinyl, that I want.... | |
| Any exp. w/ Shunyata Dark Field Cable Elevators Adhaney, I have not used any other cable elevators or isolators with my current system. I did try some Music Direct ceramic with an older system in a very noisy building and noticed no benefit or musical loss but it was not a very fair trial. |
