| J. Sikora Initial turntable I’d recommend you take a look at the Sempersonus TE-2. It can be ordered with the same OL Silver that comes on the Volare and having heard both I’m guessing the TE-2 will significantly outperform the Volare. | |
| Review: Sempersonus TE-2 Idler-Type Turntable System (TW Raven 12/Charisma Signature One) Update: I experimented with the rubber and cork mats that came with the TE-2, finding that the rubber mat alone sounded better than the cork/rubber compound. This led me to explore other mats via internet research and user comments. I decided to t... | |
| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? Sizing the speaker to the room is very important. I consider the M40s one of the best speakers out there and could easily live with them forever. That said, I would not go up to the M40's in a room that small. You won't get what they are capable o... | |
| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? @aj523 yes Daedalus Audio. The challenge will be auditioning but very much worth the effort! | |
| Cartridge recommendations under $2500 Cool—please post your observations! | |
| Cartridge recommendations under $2500 @lalitk I am using the Signature One but my comments apply to the entire line based on my reading of the reviews but also more importantly speaking in depth with Bernard Li of Charisma about his design objectives. | |
| Cartridge recommendations under $2500 At that price point lots of great options many already mentioned. Over time I have discovered the value of a “balanced” presentation after experience with cartridges that excelled in certain areas or were colored in some way. I always felt my ART ... | |
| More power for moderate listening levels? Interesting--lots of commentary here but apparently not by many that own or have experience with Harbeth's. I would suggest you check out the Harbeth user forum. Tons of information there posted by people using many different amps with YOUR speake... | |
| Vinyl Accessories - Skip It or Buy It! Anyone try both the Funk Achromat and the Boston Audio Design "The Mat"? I'd be interested in comparisons as these both have strong supporters. Not cheap but user reports seem to confirm both offer a significant SQ benefit compared with felt, rubb... | |
| Room Acoustics With Vaulted Ceiling Hey thanks again everyone. I was over at the new house yesterday and saw that the ceiling does not rise to a peak. Rather, it rises to about 12 feet and then there is a flat section connecting the two sections of the peak. As for materials, the ro... | |
| Vinyl Accessories - Skip It or Buy It! Anyone try the Degritter? It looks like the best record cleaner I've seen in a while. | |
| Vinyl Accessories - Skip It or Buy It! @slaw can u post or pm a link to the my mat for us? | |
| Room Acoustics With Vaulted Ceiling Thanks, @jriggy Not the best at describing these things but the high point is at the middle of the longer dimension with the peak roughly directly above my listening position. Happy to PM about the 360. | |
| KEF Blade -- how good are they? I heard them at a show in a large room—didn’t do a thing for me but I’m not often impressed by systems I hear under show conditions. | |
| Room Acoustics With Vaulted Ceiling Thanks guys—a mixed bag so far I’ll have to see how it goes. Someone once said or wrote “big room, big problems” and I have been “blessed” throughout my journey to have consistently small or medium size rooms despite moving my system at least eigh... |
