| Do you use VPI Anti-skating? I have owned two VPI tables and have chosen to use the wire twist rather than the anti-skate. I tried it, I did not prefer it to the wire twist approach. Currently using a Soundsmith MIMC Star and loving how it sounds sans AS. | |
| Alternatives to Stillpoints I would suggest Daedalus DiDs, particularly under DACs and other digital equipment. I had a chance to hear them A-B and the improvement was noticeable. As for Stillpoints, I'm using a set of Ultra SS under my speakers and they are excellent, thoug... | |
| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... A perspective on the quality of amplifier issue...I bought my C7s while living in England for a year. I connected them up to my roommates inexpensive Yamaha integrated amp (around 50wpc) which was connected to a equally unimpressive CD player. The... | |
| ***Going Insane***End Game Speakers***Harbeth Verity or Living Voice*** In my experience, your amp will not have enough drive for the Harbeth's. See if you can find a used pair of Daedalus Audio speakers--maybe the Athena or call Lou and see what he can do on a pair of Muse Studio's. Either will rival the 30.1 in the ... | |
| Portland Maine Thanks, everyone for the tips so far. Larry--I'll reach out and appreciate your help. | |
| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) Over the holidays I took delivery of a pair of Daedalus Apollo's. With the lion's share of the break in process complete, I can say with confidence that the midrange presentation hits that very elusive sweet spot where tonal fidelity, extraordinar... | |
| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) Since Harbeth has been mentioned several times here I'll chime back in on the whole "midrange detail" thing....Harbeth, to my ear, is a good example of a speaker that is very balanced and gets the midrange correct. Though it is not the last word i... | |
| VPI Prime and Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC Star Sounds like a great plan. Many of us are using Soundsmith carts with our 3D arms. If you can stretch, you may want to grab a Sussuro MKII which are being heavily discounted at the moment to clear the way for new models. I am using the MIMC Star at... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A / Origin Live Conqueror / Koetsu Black Goldline Millercarbon your last post perfectly illustrates why Keith Herron's designs are unique and so musically satisfying. Keith is both an engineer and musician by training AND he is meticulous in his pursuit of perfection. I have known Keith for at le... | |
| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) Woof--I would prefer not to name specific brands/models out of respect for the unique listening preferences of different folks who frequent this site. Everyone hears differently, has different room characteristics to work with, and different ideas... | |
| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) I have heard a number of dynamic speakers with extraordinary detail through the midrange but none that have sounded musically correct to my ear. They either have a very forward presentation and/or provide an unbalanced perspective and/or have inco... | |
| I would love some suggestions on great acoustic... Some great ones here....did anyone mention Nick Drake "Pink Moon"? | |
| Herron VTPH-2A / Origin Live Conqueror / Koetsu Black Goldline What table are you running the Conqueror on? I've always been interested in the OL arms but not so much their tables...... | |
| Bach Double Violin Concerto This piece has a special place in my heart. In 1986 I was a graduate student in DC and knew nothing about classical music. One night I went to see "Children of a Lesser God" in the local theater. The film has a weird soundtrack but at several poin... | |
| The quest for the hot stamper or is it a myth Can someone define "hot stamper" and explain how to identify/determine whether you have one, the differences between versions, and why anyone should care? What makes a "hot stamper" different from other pressings of the same LP?Sorry but I see thi... |
