| Best transport to use with Jadis JS 1 tube dac Tweekerman, I'm afraid I must contradict you most earnestly, bcause from 1963 there was already a decline in the art of recording classical music. The best RCA's and Mercs are from 59 until about 62 and remain unsurpassed. But as far as EMI and De... | |
| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? Thanks Clueless, very kind, but I polarised them already myself. They all face due north and the St. Elmo's fire keeps the electrons flowing nice and steady.The sound stage is much improved and the resolution, you wouldn't believe it, I've finally... | |
| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? cfb, how did you come to get this cable so cheaply? I paid$18,000 for a pair of 0.5 meter ics off the same roll and it wasn't even broken in. Cheers, | |
| VPI ARIES and Lyra Helikon SL Is there distortion at all frequencies or only at the high end? If its only on top, I'd be patient and see if it becomes less as the cartridge is broken in. If its through the entire frequency spectrum, I'd follow all the steps very carefully as A... | |
| Are You Content With Your System? My state of contentment varies and neither side of the amplitude is particularly easy to objectivise, complex as my system is. Sometimes its the system, sometimes myself, sometimes both. Guess, my system and I are both complex systems. However, if... | |
| Goldmund record collector's standards VS. English Albert's advice is excellent. I've learnt to trust one or two sellers, one local, the other Canadian, to be fully trustworthy in their grading. Buying through Ebay on the other hand has always been a lottery. Sometimes you're lucky, most often you... | |
| Best transport to use with Jadis JS 1 tube dac To my mind, RCprince's advice is sound....and yes,my ears love that "old technology" almost dayly. Cheers, | |
| European -vs- US high-end Sean T, the Europeans do not realise sufficiently the shock which was caused by 11th Sept. in your country and how you feel threatened by further attacks, possibly by weapons of mass destruction. The politics your governement is implementing, seem... | |
| European -vs- US high-end Solen caps are nice and their prices are competitiveand the Oracle TT was once (almost) SOTA. Thats all, except for those Sean has mentioned, that I can think of. Cheers, | |
| Tweaks KP, no need for it. I'm here. (o: | |
| Tweaks KP, I'm not sure..I suppose it depends, when on vibrapods, he seems of a more gentle disposition...... on spikes he's probably more astute...... | |
| European -vs- US high-end Slawney, to my mind the gap which there was, especially with British hifi and US gear seems to be closing. For a long time the Europeans (France, Germany, Switzerland, the UK in part) had the better vinyl play back gear in practically all price ra... | |
| Quality of recording vs Musical tastes An excellent point Craig, Sean! As a pure Classical and Jazz fan, some other titles come to mind though:The Dire Straights LPs (all)Joni Mitchel, whose "Blue" LP brought me on to her.Chet Atkins " in Hollywood" brought me on to his other RCA LPs"P... | |
| Best match electrostats for Jadis JA-30 Tateb, the speaker wire, which you can buy through Roger Sanders (www.innersound.net) are very nice for Quads and they don't cost a packet. As for the tweaks you've mentioned, please take the Quads off the line current 24 hours or so before. (You ... | |
| Tweaks Slawney, we need more of you here, especially if you've tweaked yourself to such excellent performance! Cheers, |
