| New Lyra Delos Cartridge Old post I know but I'd appreciate hearing from anyone here who has now used a Delos. Anyone run one of these in a VPI JMW9 (mounted to a Scout?). Great post--thanks Jcarr for your thorough commentary. | |
| Harbeth vs Proac I've had or heard both--2.5, Response 3's, 3.8, D25, D38 and Compact 7's, Super HL5, Monitor 40. The sound is not greatly dissimilar but I prefer the Harbeth's. They are more musically natural sounding while the Proac's tend to sound more hifi. | |
| Is anyone using Harbeth speakers with a sub-woofer Hi Taters:I ran my Compact 7's with a Rel Stadium II for a while in my 14 X 23 X 9 room. The Rel is known for its ability to integrate seamlessly with monitors and I did feel that it added a firmer foundation to the music without a lot of disconti... | |
| McCormack DNA 500 vs DNA 225 upgraded The DNA 250 is said to run considerably hotter than the DNA 500--not sure whether that matters in your application. | |
| High Quality Fuses: Real Gains? I had the opportunity to chat with the head of the service department at said high end company and he had some interesting insight I thought I would share. He said that they have tried all the available aftermarket specialty fuses and that while t... | |
| High Quality Fuses: Real Gains? A little more research has produced three brands: Hifi Tuning (which now has a silver model), Isoclear (sp?) and Furtech. Any reason to pick one over the others? | |
| Phono stages belong to which tier? Anyone have information about the new Parasound JC-3? For $2K it could be a nice unit. | |
| What's your favorite MFSL Right now, Beck "Sea Change" | |
| Don't you love it when this happens? Love "Jeepy". One of the best recorded acoustic bass LP's in my view. Very spontaneous feel for a studio album. I love the way Marsalis steps/swings away from the microphone occasionally--seems like the three of them are just having a blast. Some ... | |
| Full Range Speaker That Can Play Near Boundaries I was just over at the home inspection today and think I can make the DA-1.1's work in the space--so Michael you can relax! I do feel that the DA-RMa's may end up being a better fit and will discuss this with Lou. My preference is to stay within t... | |
| Full Range Speaker That Can Play Near Boundaries Thanks for your responses so far--some models mentioned here that I've never heard of so that is welcome. Kana--my current speakers are fabulous and I never thought I would part with them but we have put an offer in on a home where my listening ro... | |
| Best Used CD Player Under $500? Thanks all. I found some money and can now spend up to $750. Other suggestions? Also, a friend wants to get into the act and has $1500 to throw at a player. The rest of the system is Krell 300si integrated and PSB Synchrony One's. Thoughts? Thanks! | |
| Whest ps.30r Robm1: Can you comment in greater detail about your experience going from the PS.30R to the RDT version? Did you get to swap in the RDT without changing anything else in your system? How would you describe the performance gains relative to the ext... | |
| Whest ps.30r I'd be curious if anyone has used both the single ended and balanced outputs on the PS30R and whether there is a noticeable difference. I've only used the single ended and thus have not heard the unit in balanced configuration. | |
| Whest ps.30r Based on my experience in the same price range you will have a hard time doing "better" than the PS30R. You may find "different" but not necessarily "better". I ran the PS30R against several phonostages (ARC PH5, Acoustat PH1, EAR 834) and found i... |
