| Modwright KWA 100SE or 150SE Alamandog:Saw your post here and the other one about the PH150. I have only heard the PH150 in show conditions so chose not to post on the other thread but I have owned a KWA150SE for several years now and have been extremely happy with the amp. P... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Got some time to listen this weekend and really heard the break in process unfold. Not sure if this has happened to anyone else before but this is the second time for me (the first was with my current speakers)--while listening (i.e. in the middle... | |
| Harbeth Super 5s vs 5+s I've heard both and agree with Pdreher. If your room will accommodate, I'd spend the extra money and upgrade to a used pair of Monitor 40s. No disrespect to the Super HL5's--a great speaker for sure. | |
| Audio stores in N. Virginia? I would recommend checking out Scott Dalzell at Viva HiFi in Vienna VA. Scott is passionate about audio and determined to help his clients get the best possible sound for their money. He carries a some well know brands like VPI but also lesser kno... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Got it dialed in on Saturday but only had time to listen to a few LPs. So far....Wow. Looking forward to how this evolves! | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Arrived and will mount this weekend. I'll let you all know what happens.....What VTF are you guys using? | |
| Esoteric K-07 conversion Jafant: I haven't heard any of the new K series players but have been the VERY happy owner of an X-03SE for a number of years. Great machine--sound, build quality--superb unit! | |
| Recommend A More Dynamic Monitor Than Harbeth C7 Not sure where the stand height of 24" is referenced but having owned C-7s I totally agree--too high for proper treble presentation. I ran mine on 19" Sound Anchors and that was perfect for my listening position. Pani--not sure if we share the sam... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Well, it felt a little like an impulse buy (no professional reviews and no chance to audition) but I've gone ahead and ordered an ART 9. I'm grateful to those who have posted about their experience with this cartridge and am very curious as to how... | |
| Recommend A More Dynamic Monitor Than Harbeth C7 Love the C-7s--owned a pair for many years and set up a friend with a pair he continues to enjoy today. When I decided to upgrade it was for the same reasons you reference--I wanted more speed and dynamics but was determined to get something that ... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Gents: Using an OC9MLII but am very much considering an ART9. For those who have taken the plunge....any regrets? There are a lot of cartridges out there for $1K why should I be getting the ART9? | |
| Herron pre upgrade... Mlo97:I would echo Chayro--through nearly a half dozen linestage changes I have found that the preamp has a surprisingly large impact on the system sound. I would also second those who suggest you call Keith--you will be hard pressed to find a mor... | |
| Preamp Help I used and enjoyed a number of ARC preamps over the years (SP16, LS26) and then moved on to both of Modwright's preamps (LS36.5 and then LS100). All were very strong performers in their own way, but each left me feeling that some element of their ... | |
| Anyone moved on from Harbeth C7es3? I've written here extensively about my quest for something more full range and dynamically agile than my C7s. It took several years of looking but finally landed with Daedalus--the only speaker I've heard that is as musically natural, correct and ... | |
| Audio and Vinyl Shops in Charlottesville VA Thanks, Notec. Would rather hit the two on the downtown mall than go up 29. Aiming for Friday. |
