| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... I think the whole topic of equipment break in is over cooked. In my experience the essential characteristics of ANY piece of gear are discernible within the first five hours of playback. Yes, subtle improvements do occur over time--more so with eq... | |
| Phoenix Engineering Falcon and Eagle Does anyone know if the new ADS combines speed control with speed monitoring? | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Since there were no "professional" reviews of this cartridge I had to set my skepticism aside and take a leap of faith based on several positive reports posted here. While the A'gon can often be an instrument of hype, in this case the reverse was ... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Not sure how much can be gleaned from this review. First, the clarity of the evaluation and review conclusions is compromised by the translation. Second, the reviewer highlights the "weakness of TD 240 - 2... which makes the exquisite sound usin... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Not at all to my ears in my system. I'd love to read the review--can you post a link? | |
| Environmental Potentials whole house surge protection, can I get your opinions? I've had one installed directly on the panel of two different homes over the past decade. I use no other power conditioning--I have my equipment plugged directly into Porter Ports on a 20amp dedicated line. Like Folkfreak, I can't really say if it... | |
| VPI Classic Platter- Naked or better with a mat? Hey guys--reviving this thread. For those using the Classic platter--are you using the small round disc (about 1.5" diameter) over the spindle and under the record so that when the clamp is applied the record does not "dish"? This came with my ori... | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 Just saw an OC9MLII come on this site. The asking is almost $400 which to me is way to high. I had one in beautiful shape that I sold for $200 here several months ago and was happy with what I got. | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 Just saw this sorry....As far as I know you cannot replace the stylus on the AT OC9MLII though I'm sure you could get a retip from Soundsmith. The OC9 can usually be found here for about $250 and I see VPI Scouts all the time so you should not hav... | |
| Cartridge Recommendation srafi:So I've run both the XX2MKII and the ART9 in my VPI Scout. The bad news is that I had an OC9MLII in between and made a few system changes as well so I cannot report on a direct comparison. What I can say is that the XX2MKII was a nice cartri... | |
| Ry Cooder recommendation... Love his work on John Hiatt's "Bring the Family". | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 I ran a VPI Scout for many years with an AT OC9MLII. You can probably find a used Scout for $1K and a used AT OC9 for $200. I thought the combination was awesome for the money. | |
| Please Recommend Audiophile Solo Piano Recordings The Stereophile recordings with Robert Silverman are all very well recorded. I'm not a huge fan of his playing style but the piano sounds very true to my ears. Another favorite for both sound and performance is Uchida's live Mozart recording from ... | |
