| Best Integrated for JM Labs Micro Utopia BE I have spent a week with the Micro's, very nice speaker. Though I have not listened to the two together I think the combination of the VTL IT-85 and the Micro's might be a wonderful combo. | |
| Why so many Rotel RCD-1072 players for sale ? I am one of the ones who has sold a RCD-1072 over the past year. It is a wonderfull CD player, very detailed, musical with a wide range. Perhaps the reason for the sales is that there are a lot of people who buy them, also they touch the surface o... | |
| best ? ss integrated for Dynaudio Contour 1.3SE The Belles in made by David Belles, there is a link here in audiogon. He makes very fine pre-amps and power amps one at a time. His 21A pre-amp is a hybrid tubed pre-amp. You can read the reviews in the man. links. I had a demo in my home and they... | |
| best ? ss integrated for Dynaudio Contour 1.3SE I also enjoyed the Creek 5350SE with dynaudio, I used it with my Dynaudio 52SE and it was a great pair. Some think the Creek is a little thin but I suspect that impression came from creek that had not fully broken in as mine really came to life wi... | |
| Verity Audio I recently auditioned the Tamino X2 and really liked it. They also agreed to build a pair in the Macore finish for a little extra money. I then auditioned a pair of dynaudio special 25's, about the same money as the Tamino. I fell in love with the... | |
| Dynaudio Audience 52 vs 52 SE I have and highly enjoyed a pair of 52SE for the past year. The only thing they share with the standard 52 is the cabinet. The base driver comes from the old Contour 1.3Mk II and the tweeter from the new Contour 1.4. It also has a nicer crossover.... | |
| Dynavector 10X5 vs Blue Point Special "Evo III" I have listened to the Denon, a very nice cartridge, another to recommend. But I did put it up next to my Dynavector and it did not soundly beat the Dynavector. They didn't even get into a wrestling match, no angry words. I always wonder about thi... | |
| Dynavector 10X5 vs Blue Point Special "Evo III" I have a VPI Jr. with AQ PT-6 and Dynavector 10x5 and enjoy it a great deal. Very musical, detailed, quiet, easy to listen to and a very good match with the VPI/AQ PT-6 combo. I can highly recommend the pairing. Sorry I cannot compare it to the Bl... | |
| where do you bye your LPs I get some of my vinyl from used record stores when I'm visit larger cities, I have gotten a number of nice used records from the audio dealer that I buy most of my stereo equipment from, I have gotten a few from e-bay though I hate the auction sc... | |
| VPI HW 19? I e-mailed VPI last year about this issue and recieved a very nice reply that VPI was committed to continued support of those who have the HW-19Jr. Upgrade parts may be limited but I was told that repair parts are and will continue to be available. | |
| VTL IT-85 or Mcintosh MA6500 I have listened to both the McIntosh MA6500 and the VTL with both Dynaudio 52se and Verity Audio Tamino X2. I was kind of surprised that the Mac sounded a bit two demensional, thin, and lacked the dynamics of the little VTL integrated as the Mac h... | |
| Arcam FMJ CD36 or Simaudio Moon Nova? I have spent time with New Arcam 36, the 33, the CD192 and the audio aero prima, older model. I think the Arcams are on the warm musical side, tremendous depth, and very enjoyable to listen to. The 192 did not have the depth, detail of upper frequ... | |
| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews Check out the online magazine, "Stereo Times", for VSA speaker reviews. At last look they had reviewed five different pairs over the past few years. You can find these in Archives. | |
| Trying to get back into Lps, I seem to be throwing Powers55, sorry if this has been covered, I am in a hurry and did not read all of the above posts, If this highs are a bit thin and you are lacking bass I am wondering about your VTA, perhaps try lowering the tone arm a bit, if this is mentioned a... | |
| Help a vinyl-phile with a digital upgrade I was in a similar position until I heard a BAT CD player, but I could not afford the $6000.00 asking price. I went about looking and found the Arcam FMJ33 CD player. On more than one occasion I went to take an album off my TT and was shocked to s... |
