| Guitar's...what do the audionuts play? I have a 1965 Epiphone Olympic Double that I have had since I was ten. I also have a 1965 Gibson ES335 which I purchased as an investment guitar. I have a Carr Mercury amp and a Martin 00028EC acoustic. | |
| Al Stiefel of RMAF Has Passed Away This is very sad news and Al will be missed by all. I first met Al via Audiogon. I bought the Vibraplane he listed when he first ordered the Walket TT. He found that I lived only a few miles away from him and he offered to help me get it to my hou... | |
| Shindo lab pre amps I have not heard the Kondo or Wavac. The Vosne Romanee has RCA inputs and balanced output. | |
| Shindo lab pre amps No I have not had a chance to compare a Shindo amp with the Lamm's. That is something I would like to do. I just have not had the opportunity. | |
| SRA Isolation Platform under a Turntable I have an early Redpoint Testa Rosa TT with the latest Galbier TPI platter. I am using an HRS record weight rather than the anvil. I liked the anvil on the teflon platter but not as much with the graphite TPI. I cannot say why has been discontinue... | |
| Shindo lab pre amps Bnrlaw, the rest of my system consists of a Redpoint/Galibier Turntable, Schroeder Reference and ZYX Univers cartridge. CD player is a Cary 306-200. The VR is going into a pair of Lamm ML2 18 watt monoblocks. I am using Reimer Teton speakers. | |
| Good budget alternative IC's with Shindo preamp I am using the Shindo IC's with my Shindo. You may want to check out Greg Straley's Reality cables. A friend of mine is using these with his Aurieges. I have not heard them to compare with Shindo but they are rather inexpensive. Another is the Ter... | |
| Shindo lab pre amps I currently have the Vosne Romanee. I previously had the Hovland HP100, traded that for the Lamm LL2 and then that for the Lamm L2 which is a very good detailed preamp. After a few years with the L2 I changed to the Wyetech Opal which I found as d... | |
| Best matching phono stage with Zyx Universe cartr. I have used the Artemis PH1 and Bent Audio S&B stepup 1:10 with good results going into a Wytech Opal with my .24 Universe. This combo though was bettered by my Shindo Vosne Romanee with built in phono. | |
| Stereovox LSP-600c and Merlin? The Kubala Emotion were too dark and slow sounding in my system. I went from Valhalla to Audio Magic Clairvoyant and then to Stereovox LSP 600C. The Stereovox cables are definitely in the upper tier of cables. In my system they had the speed, tran... | |
| Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt I finally got around to doing this over the weekend. For any that are looking to get etching cream Michael's has the Armour etching cream for $11.99 a bottle. They had a coupon in the paper for 40% off any item thus making it less than $7.00. Not ... | |
| what should i keep, shindo or mcintosh I disagree with your blanket statement that Shindo amps are only for horn speakers. All the amps are tube but some are single ended some are push pull. The 8-10 watt amps do need a fairly efficient speaker but there are many efficient speakers tha... | |
| what should i keep, shindo or mcintosh I am currently running Reimer Teton full range speakers 95db (4ohm) with Lamm ML2 amps. The Tetons go deep and tight in the bass. Not sure how the Shindo amps may compare with the Lamms but the Masetto has great dynamics in my system. | |
| what should i keep, shindo or mcintosh Not sure if I agree that the Shindo preamps do not have punch. My Masetto has lots of punch with my Lamm ML2's. It bettered my Wyetech Opal in this regard and I felt the Wyetech was one of the best I had heard. | |
| Galibier questions I personally would go for the Triplanar and start off with the standard PVC platter. Thom is very good about allowing you to upgrade without penalty if you choose to do so at a later time. I have an earlier galibier/Redpoint and started with the P... |
