| Review: J&R Essential Essential 3160 Preamplifier Brizonbiovizier, yes it has both options although the balanced input and outputs are by far my favourite. I think that from a quick glance at your system, it would be interesting to hear your opinion of the Essential, but you'll already have gathe... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s set up Thanks Raul, just to note that I have recently swapped the Altai headshell for a Nagaoka magnesium headshell and my Mat1 platter for an Autio Technica AT 666 pneumatic mat. The improvement is startling and informative. Leaving me compelled to leav... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s set up It has since been generally agreed that the XV-1s performs best at around 2.1g VTF. However, it might be worth trying it with a slightly greater weight until it is broken in. SO far, I have found the best tonearm match to be with an Ikeda IT407 wi... | |
| Jazz Recommendations Eljaro, an excellent response. The best option is always to find a source (live or recorded) where you can appreciate what you like before parting with your money. I suppose our suggestions are just a chance to share our personal revelations and f... | |
| Jazz Recommendations Dean, given your apparent preferences, you might also want to mention Tina May, Kitty Margolis and Camille. | |
| Review: J&R Essential Essential 3160 Preamplifier Doug, I wholly agree. Maybe you will give it a new listen with Albert once Raul and Jose have an opportunity to provide one. My system's currently going through major transformations and stretching each component to the limits of its performance i... | |
| Amplifiers for Talon Hawk monitors Thanks to all respondents, however I have now sorted my apparent problems in driving the Talons and they are singing like the proverbial lark. I managed this with a different system change that has meant that the Levinson/Hawk combination seems to... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Hi folks, I recently had the upgrade from Raul and Jose on my Essential 3150 and have posted a full review on audiogon at http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?rprea&1187459855&openusid&zzDgob&4&5#Dgob.I hope it will prove us... | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik For technical reasons, I have not had a chance to run my LTD 750 yet. Can anyone give me their impressions of its sound and, most importantly, of how it compares to a Music Maker MKIII?Many thanks | |
| Bat VK-600M SE, or halcro dm-88 or MBL 9011 If you're still looking in this super league, have you thought about any of the FM Acoustic amps? They are special and you can view testimony from more experienced ears than mine on their website: www.fmacoustics.com | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? Dave_b, just curious to hear if you find that sound stage (as presented through much hifi) is not what you experience when presented through these live venues? And do you think that it is interesting to note the differences between home audio norm... | |
| speakers similar to Magico Mini's Rhljazz, have you thought of taking a cheaper option in monitors and integrating them with a stereo pair of seal boxed subwoofers? I think that the finest top end that you can get is probably in the ported Talon Hawk monitors and I have linked the... | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? Dave b, I know that the expense of the FM gear is often a prohibitor and - maybe - one reason why they are not as frequently lauded in popular high end circles. I suspect this is in part a consequence of the company's low profile advertising, geog... | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? Dave b, excuse my long delay but I only just read your responses. Have you heard the FM Acoustic pre's or the Essential 3150 and, if so, which FM Acoustic pre's and what were your impressions of these and the Essential - particularly in comparison... | |
| Amplifiers for Talon Hawk monitors Many thanks Rives. I'll give it a go with the Musicblocs as soon I can arrange to audition a set. Concerning the super tweeters, I also sympathise/suffer with the effects of age but still suspect you'd hear the difference in a number of areas but ... |
