| Phono Stage to replace Sonic Frontiers Phono 1 You may also want to check out the Hagerman Trumpet. It is a little more than you want to spend new but is an outstanding buy for the money. | |
| suggestions for turntable set up around $6,000. You may also want to check out a Redpoint table. They are very well made and have several platter options. Their turntables run around $3-$4M without arm depending on platter and model. This as the Teres competes with tables costing much more. | |
| Where can I hear Teres Twl, I have read many threads you have participated in and respect your opinions regarding analog systems. You obviously do not like the industial design of the Redpoint product. Before buying I had checked out the Teres website and was turned off... | |
| Where can I hear Teres As I mentioned before I have never seen or heard the Teres in the flesh so I would never claim that the Redpoint actually sounds better than the Teres. I suspect that both tables are quiet good and most likely a much better value than anything you... | |
| Where can I hear Teres I have never seen or heard the Teres first hand. One of the founders of Redpoint was one of the founders of the Teres project and he said that they wanted to expand on what had been done and take it to the next level with Redpoint. I must say the ... | |
| Where can I hear Teres I guess that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I recently purchased a Redpoint Testa Rosa and very much like its industrial look. The parts are shined to a high gloss and are very user friendly. I am using a Kuzma Stogi Reference arm and a She... | |
| Aries owner, what isolation device do you use? I also recommend the Vibraplane. I am using under a VPI HW19MKIV and it was a significant improvement. I am sure since the Aries is an unsuspended table the improvement may be even more dramatic. | |
| Best set-up for up to 9k retail? You may also want to consider a Redpoint Testa Rosa. It is at the same price point as the Avid Volvere without arm and gives you alot of value. I have ordered one which will arrive in a few weeks and will be using a Kuzma Stogi Reference arm. The ... | |
| Best Tonearm Match for Shelter 901 I have heard from others that the new Kuzma Reference cartridge is actually a shelter 901 with the Kuzma label. Kuzma must then feel that this cartridge is a match for their arms which have about 12-12.5gr mass. | |
| Let's talk tube amps - no ss discussion I also have the Sonic Frontiers Power 3 SE's. The power 3 series is an excellent buy at this time as the prices for the standard 3's are in the $3000-$3500 range used. These amps are very neutral and do provide power on par with many SS amps. I am... | |
| Power Cords - Pixie Dust? I have a SAMA with my VPI HW19MKIV and am using the SDS. My SAMA does not have the interchangeable power cord. I assumed that it wouldn't make a difference what type of power cord feeding the SDS as long as the SDS was putting out the proper frequ... | |
| Svetlana KT88 VS EH6550 Kevin, I value your opinion regarding tubes as I have bought tubes from you in the past for several of my components. I am willing to replace resistors occasionaly in order to deliver the best sound. I went with Chris's recommendation that the Sve... | |
| Svetlana KT88 VS EH6550 I just spoke with Chris Johnson at the Parts Connexion regarding the recommended tubes for the Power 3's. Chris was president of SFI and knows the product better than anyone. He strongly suggested the Svetlana KT88 tube as the best option. He said... | |
| Svetlana KT88 VS EH6550 The resistor blew yesterday and I suspect it was a bad tube. I plan to call them tomorrow and see if they will send me some new resistors so that I can intall rather than sending it back to the factory. The tech people had told me that the early S... | |
| Svetlana KT88 VS EH6550 My Svetlana KT88's have about 1200 hours on them. The were original equipment with the PW3 se's. SF's tech department is though discouraging their use and suggesting 6550's but I am hesitant to change as I really like the sound of the KT88's. |
