| Recommendations For New Table/Arm Under $4k Sure Tvad, the Serac is over his price range for one, costing more like $4600 currently with a decent arm, so far as I can tell without getting a fresh quote. Included in the price of the RM-10 is a 10", carbon fiber tone arm, highly effective iso... | |
| Recommendations For New Table/Arm Under $4k Well Bill, except you're not going to get a comparable arm in that price range. Actually the RM10 is far less tweaky and gives a lot more value in this price range.Dave | |
| Balanced or Unbalanced? Eactly Lupin. I think that's how we started the thread, YMMV and it's environment dependent.Dave | |

| Class D amp with Tube Preamp Combo? I suspect you're right Guido, or it could be the new capcitors. Anyone got a Continuum 250 (without PFC) and would they share their burn-in experience???Dave | |
| Class D amp with Tube Preamp Combo? Guido and I tend to agree, but I must report that my Continuum 500 seemed fully burned-in by 200-hours. Jeff is constantly improving, so maybe his latest capacitors or something else changed the burn-in characteristic.Others I trust report 500+ ho... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre I love your passion Sirspeedy. ;-)Dave | |
| Recommendations For New Table/Arm Under $4k Hey SD, good to see you at A'gon. | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Yeah, French_fries got it right. SOTA is somewhat like buying a computer or CDP, if you wait until things "settle down" you'll never buy. You just need to pick something near the top of the heap and jump in, then plan to go with it for a few years... | |
| roland 501's vs ps audio gcc 500 Assuming that you can afford either, then the Rowland is the way to go. Just look at the chassis to see that it's totally different class. I've owned both brands and, while the PS Audio is good, the Rowland goes way beyond.My question for you is, ... | |
| Recommendations For New Table/Arm Under $4k Well within your budget, you can buy the Pro-ject RM10, which includes a 10" carbon fiber arm, thick/heavy glass platter with magnetic repulsion bearing to reduce inertia. The included isolation bass is very effective and a must-have type componen... | |
| Class D amp with Tube Preamp Combo? 07-24-08: Guidocorona asked:"Hi Dave, did you mean Spectron digital amps rather than Spectral? Spectron Mus 3 is a fabulous switching amp!"Sorry, yes I meant Spectron.Dave | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Psag, A'gon isn't all that bad a resouce. Just like with the printed mags and online mags, you have to learn to read the reviewers. Generally I don't think that advertising "buys" good reviews, but the advertisers probably do tend to get reviewed ... | |
| Class D amp with Tube Preamp Combo? If you can get a good impedence match, use balanced IC runs and the amps have good RFI/EMI rejection, then it can work very nicely. The Bel Canto is one good choice. Also look at Jeff Rowland Design Group and Spectral for amps that do all the abov... | |
| ARC Ref 3: Tung-Sol 6550 in power supply? Great advice Guido. Given your deep knowledge of music and all the famous musicians that you know, your ability to pick chips must be peerless. Thanks for taking time out of you busy schedule of listening to live music to address my concerns.Dave |
