| Sick of static-y Rega felt mat Pretty astute thoughts :-) | |
| Sick of static-y Rega felt mat Whether or not a Ringmat sounds bright depends on the rest of your equipment, IMO. I should have said that I believe it works best with tubed equipment where it has an open, dynamic and clear sound that I found very appealing for the money (have s... | |
| Sick of static-y Rega felt mat I'd recommend a Ringmat. Not as cheap as it looks, but I've seen good used ones for $40. Good luck, Dave | |
| The Nitty Gritty Record Cleaner?? My first Nitty Grity was in service from the early 1980s until 2004. It was still going strong but I saw a deal on Audiogon for a Record Doctor II (Audio Advisor's version of the Nitty Gritty) and couldn't pass it up. Works fine and I have no desi... | |
| Help, Turntable Belt.... Weird It would really help to know what your turntable is. If it's a VPI with the original (not black) belt(s) , I've had a lot of success with the following regimen: periodically remove the belt, clean the surface of the pulley(s) and platter with alco... | |
| The New SuperTNT 845M I guess I agree, but I wish they had someone who could write more idiomatic English :-) | |
| Cartridge Recommendation I have a Dyna 10X5 for sale here on Audiogon if anyone's interested. Dave | |
| Gallo Ref3 Subwoofer Amplifier This makes sense to me. I'm driving the second voice coils of my Ref 3s with a Hsu 500A (500 watt) subwoofer amp. Sounds great, but there's only so much bass to be had from the Gallo woofer, two voice coils or not. Dave | |
| Transport to accompany DAC Just a note about the Sony XA777ES. I have an Ack dAck 2.0 and think it sounds better using a $50 Toshiba DVD/CD player as a transport than it does using the Sony. The combo sounds a bunch better than using the Sony alone. Can't explain this, but ... | |
| auric illuminator, effective? disc beveling? I'll split the difference. I think it works but the improvement is so slight that it isn't worth the bother. Dave | |
| Does a subwoofer amplifer exist? Visit the Hsu Research website and check out Hsu's 500A (500 watt) subwoofer amp. I believe that the owner's manual is available as a download. I'm using one to power the second voice coils on my Gallo Reference 3 speakers and like it a lot. Cost ... | |
| what the heck is a Namiki DF-100 Direction Finder As I recall, there were reliability issues with this thing, so if it doesn't work for you, don't blame yourself. Good luck, Dave | |
| "The Ground" by Tord Gustavsen Trio. Anyone heard? Jfz, agree about "Soul of Things." Haunting album. Dave | |
| "The Ground" by Tord Gustavsen Trio. Anyone heard? Fellini Jazz is rather atypical of Pieranunzi's work, although clearly he is a more spirited player than Gustavsen is (so far, at least, from the two albums I've heard). Here's a few Pieranunzi records I'd recommend:* "Current Conditions" (CamJazz... | |
| "The Ground" by Tord Gustavsen Trio. Anyone heard? Another that appeals to me as much as the two Gustavsen's is "Rosslyn" by the John Taylor Trio (Taylor, piano; Marc Johnson, bass; Joey Baron) on ECM 1751. Still another really terrific and lyrical jazz pianist is Enrico Pieranunzi. Anybody know h... |
