| CDP to replace vinyl I am a huge fan of vinyl, I purchase about 600 lps a year, have a nice Nottingham TT, Shelter etc. But, I do think that one can build a very pleasing system with digital. I have an Arcam FMJ 33 CDP. Though there are many much nicer, and more expen... | |
| VTA and 180 gram vinyl I listen to a lot of vinyl with a nottingham spacedeck and shelter 501. I found a nice happy medium and have left it without loosing anything. I would worry more that my mat swithching would color things more that the slight variance of VTA | |
| Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective -ality. Musicality, bassality, tonality, trebality, darkality, lightality. What we don't need is more-ality. I also cast a vote for minty. I will never buy an item that is minty. Gives me the impression the seller has been licking the product. | |
| Additional isolation for Preamp/ components I use stillpoints with risers under my CDP and really did not want to hear an improvement but I did. I also tried Herbies iso-cups with ebony balls and they were almost, (probably just as), good as the still points. A bit more detail without being... | |
| Will a Full Page Ad Guarantee a Review? I know a guy who talked to a guy who used to be a roommate of a guy who worked for this audio guy and he said.........I really don't have any reason to question the ethics of the audio magazines or reviewers. Although I, at times, disagree with th... | |
| Dynaydio Temptation owners - what's you setup? I have heard the C2 and the Temptation. Both wonderful products. So is the Special 25, which I own. Before even considering upgrading speakers you should look at upgrading your source and amplification of your Special 25's. Though they may sound n... | |
| Phono amp recommendations Well, after a great deal of research I ordered a MiniMax phono stage. Not because it is the best phono stage available at the price but because the consensus of it's attributes will probably work with my system the best. I am a little hesitant bec... | |
| Phono amp recommendations I got the standard spacedeck but with the new arm. I wanted the arm the most. All things being equal I would have liked the newer AceSpace turntable with the new bearing and higher mass motor but I had set a budget and was getting darn close to it... | |
| Phono amp recommendations Sberger, how would you compare the jtli to the Dynavector P75, I see you have used the Dynavector in the past. | |
| Phono amp recommendations Nicksgem10s, I am sending you an e-mail but will also post here so others may benefit from the question. I have read some of your earlier posts, when you had the Eastern Electric MiniMax Phono were you using it with the Dynaudio 20XH? The reason f... | |
| Phono amp recommendations Boy, thanks for the ideas. I think I need to add the K&K to my list and give it a listen. I have also been thinking or perhaps springing for a Sutherland Phd as the battery really appeals to me, and the $400+ savings on a power cord.Audio_blow... | |
| cello music A strong recommendation for the Mercury Bach Suites for Solo Cello with Janos Starker. I have this in both vinyl and CD, they are nice but the vinyl is breathtaking. I also enjoy "Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone" from Sony. It is a CD of Ennio Morr... | |
| Whats the best MC cartridge for my new VPI SCOUT? I think the Dynavector line would be a very good place to start, look at your phono stage as this will also play a part in your decision. I used to have a Dynavector 10X5 and it is a great musical cart. if you need higher output, the 17D2MKII is a... | |
| Tips for warming up Rotel + B&W system? I would give the Rotel amp and CDP a chance to break in as well. I had a Rotel 1052 reciever and 1072 CDP and they really benefit from breakin as well. Also look at moving the speakers around, check relationship to walls etc as room acoustics will... | |
| Speaker Cables for Dynaudio Special 25 Jack, I just spent considerable time trying cables for my Special 25's and it is on the Cable threads, something about nordost and shunyata. I did try the Nordost Heimdall and they were very nice, just a tad forward. I do not think that this was a... |
