| Merlin 1B They sounded nice. Nice really says it all. Nothing special. Merlins new speakers are much more resolving of low level detail. The cabinets are more inert etc. | |
| B&W Nautilus 802D, Wilson Sophia 2, or others? Soundisntmusic,I love how you explain your decision making process. It is fabulous and definitely helps others. And, I agree with you from experience. My love affair ended w. the B&W once I had kids. They need to be played loud and that was no... | |
| I can't stop listening, the magic is back Thanks to everyone here. Cytocycle. I used the formula for the heads. You can position up and down the angle depending on how you sit. The speaker becomes bright if the tweeter is off axis too much. I only used a the paw. No spacers for spiking. M... | |
| I can't stop listening, the magic is back Plato, my speakers are on tile. 400 lbs. To be honest, positioning can mean a lot. They were on spikes on footers. But one thing I noticed is that different equipment can make a major difference in setup parameters and synergy. I also think the mi... | |
| B&W Nautilus 802D, Wilson Sophia 2, or others? I don't have familiarity w. the 802Ds but did own the 801s. I upgraded to WP7s. In a nutshell I never looked back. Some prefer the diamond tweeter. The 7s didn't lack in bass, but the Sophia's might. The B&Ws, even the Ds will still have the k... | |
| VTL MB-450 with Maggies The new 450s are fabulous. Several reports of people who have listened to the VTL in the LA High End show commented very favorably. As far as compatability w. Maggies, all I can say is I used to own VTL 100s w. Martin Logan CLSs years ago. That wa... | |
| TW Acoustic Raven owners There was a new motor controller provided free of charge. It was basically an update. Not sure when it was released. I do know Thomas was providing them via the dealers to people. Jeff in the US was taking care of his US customers. It is a simple ... | |
| Review: VTL TL 6.5 Tube preamp Very nice review. The 6.5 sounds to be excellent. I heard it in a few systems and really liked the sound of these system. I am using an Elrod Power cord on my 7.5. Prior to my 7.5 I had an active Placette which had incredible bass and neutrality. ... | |
| Review: ZYX Atmos X-SB (low output) Cartridge I don't understand how any Airy 3 can not be repaired??? | |
| TW Acoustic Raven owners Theo,Both Empire cartridges recommended by Raul. But honestly, I wonder when I will get a chance to listen.I tried the Millenium. As stated by a few, it softens transient attack slightly. I have a feeling w. some cartriges it will work well. | |
| TW Acoustic Raven owners Good idea to keep the thread in one place. Now if I can gather all my posts from other threads & put them here. Oh Well. Let me start going down the line. My Raven AC replaced a Nottingham Hyperspace. No slouch at all. The Raven is in a nutshe... | |
| The Cartridgeman Isolater. Shane,I honestly am not fidling around in vinyl as much these days. Once I get the Phantom I will start again. The Schroder SQ definitely does not need it. Nor does the Phantom. As for the Ikeda, I spent too much on some headshells already but let... | |
| The Cartridgeman Isolater. I did some further research into people who tried the isolator. It appears to be very tonearm & cartridge dependant. I think that it will benefit some on using the VPI arm, depending on the cartridge. The Phantom most likely wont benefit on mo... | |
| Any Comparisons between VTL 7.5 & ARC Ref 3 I had an extensive explanantion of the principles behind the VTL 7.5 design. In a nutshell and from my minimal understanding, a Tube based current source will always be limiting compared to a Mosfet one. Hence the VTL decision to use Mosfets for t... | |
| The Cartridgeman Isolater. Shane,You have me slightly convinced. Can you get a Jade to try with it on a non unipivot arm. Just kidding. I stopped listening to Vinyl recently. Breaking in my EMM CSSAse. Much better now after a lot of play time. Still not Vinyl. I need to bre... |
