| Skeptic or just plain hard headed Mr. DB,Doug Schroeder is one of the prime reviewers of Dagogo Online. He has 4 reference systems using different types of speakers. He tries many things, so when he says this also works, it should be good for all.Bob | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed Barnettk,Doug Schroeder just posted on another thread that he has tried this also with the preamp to amp ICs using doubles. It had the same result as the source to preamp ICs. Use the same length cables and preferably the same make and model for... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? I'll have to agree with Doug Schroeder of Dagogo and Mike Powell of Verastarr cables that choice of cables will make or break a system. I'm definitely learning that. | |
| Questions to ask as I shop for a tonearm? I've had a Grace 707 arm of 20 years and sold it; Maplenoll Ariadne air bearing arm/ turntable--the best I've had for sound up to now; VPI Scout w/ arm; VPI Classic w/ arm; Avid Diva II w/ Origin Live Silver II arm; Super Lenco TT w/ OL Silver II... | |
| The quest for the hot stamper or is it a myth I agree, they earn good money, but too much. I apparently don't agree with their conclusions, or they hear differently than I do. | |
| The quest for the hot stamper or is it a myth I bought 2 of the 2nd best sounding records they sell--not the White Hot Stampers, but the next ones. I can’t remember what they’re called. I had regular copies of the exact albums from when I was in college in 1970-75. Yes--Close to the Edge and ... | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed Got to add one more thing Doug said at Axpona. I believe he said that ALL components exhibit at least 90% of the sound they will have on first listen. They will not change perceptibly after that. If you don't like the sound after you get them (... | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed Wow! That's good to know, Doug. Might have to do the same to the ICs going from my preamp to the Nuforce Ref 9 V3 SE monos. Doug, does this work with identical length and models from other makers besides Teo?Bob | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed Hey Keith,Doug made a pretty strong warning against using the double ICs going to any amplifier. I don't know enough about electronics to tell you why. Used from your source to the preamp, they are WAY beyond performance to cost value.Bob | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed Keith,I am one of the dudes Doug mentioned in his post on the Schroeder method of the double Teo's for ICs--he ran into a friend of mine and myself at last years Axpona. We were outside the Teo room and Taras of Teo Audio came out and joined our ... | |
| Does anyone use white gloves to handle records? I have really big hands, so I can actually hold the records on opposite sides without touching any of the inside parts.Not true! Would be something though. Had a friend in college that could grab pretty much any watermelon like palming a basketbal... | |
| Where do cables upgrades have the most impact? Personally, I've found that the ICs have been the most profound improvement in my system. I think the speaker cables would be right there also, but, most systems have SCs that are similarly priced as the PCs and ICs. To get an equivalent jump in... | |
| What is the most dramatic way of increasing a speaker's Bass and Low mid? A good speaker cable that may give you a little deeper and more solid bass is the Cerious Technologies Graphene Extreme original. It costs about $640 new. You will probably find used ones at about $400. The newer Matrix is more than twice as exp... | |
| Thinking about a new, lower end CD Player I will echo the NAD recommendation. They have a few at that price range. NAD was the first player I bought after being a record man most of my life. The NAD 502 was the first player that wasn't crap at a very reasonable price. They've made the... | |
| Time for a Pre change? Need the wisdom... I've had VMPS RM40 ribbon speakers that are highly detailed and transparent. I went the same route as you seem to be going. Changed to Teo Game Changer II ICs. Then went to double Teo GCII ICs. Each change brought more organic sound and more b... |
