| looking for a new cd player........ There are currently 2 Modwright players on A'Gon, the Sony 5400 and Oppo 105. Either one at $1795 (used) will sound better than anything short of megapriced players. I have the Modwright modified 5400 and it is awesome. I've also had the 9000 and ... | |
| Well recorded solo piano and solo acoustic guitar? Michael Hedges Solos--guitar 17/18 cuts. Up your alley. | |
| Killer combo--RTS couplers plus Sistrums platforms As an add on--the RTS couplers are claimed to make a significant improvement on your system's sound with every rack. I just think there's even greater improvement due to the similar technologies with the Sistrum racks. I have no proof of the last ... | |
| Killer combo--RTS couplers plus Sistrums platforms R & I, Phone Audio Horizons directly. I get hold of them about every other call. I believe they still sell one for $240 and 3 together for a discounted price about $610 for 3. | |
| Why is there little interest in RTS couplers? I have Sistrum racks for all my equipment. They make an instant improvement in all areas of sound--clarity, beauty, dynamics, bass, blacker backgrounds. The sound improves for several days. Before, I could only guess about the RTS couplers (Audio ... | |
| Modified Lenco vs TW Raven I feel like an idiot. Almost 4 years on my first Lenco project and I'm still learning how to get the speed dead right. Discovered that the motor housing was no parallel to the chassis because of the 6 springs that attach it to the chassis have to ... | |
| Brands w/ first order x-over, time & phase aligned Hey Robertsong, I happen to have Roy Johnson's ultimate creation, the Green Mountain Audio Continuum 3 with the latest HX upgrades on it. It already had the HD upgrades when I bought the speakers from the original owner. It has the rosewood side p... | |
| Modified Lenco vs TW Raven Gilles, I forgot to mention that the LS idler wheel is very light although extremely well machined. It's aluminum. Nice bearings inside the hole that slide over the end of the idler arm. And, you're welcome!! | |
| Modified Lenco vs TW Raven Sorry for the late response to your questions B & G--I've been out of town.Barbapappa--The 78 was an all automatic unit when purchased from the dude in Peru, if you use it as is. I didn't want the arm as it is not very nice and I already owned... | |
| Modified Lenco vs TW Raven Barbapapa, I have a very much tricked out Lenco 78 and told you all the improvements to it already on the lengthy post. I just received the Synergistics Research PHT little metal gizmo that attches to the cartridge with a small amount of a blu-tac... | |
| Audible Illusions Modulus 3 Audio Research SP-11 Should have previewed that last batch of drivel--lots of language errors, typing errors--did I mention I'm a PE teacher? Got to laugh at my own self too. As I told my principal several times after yet another screw when he asked me, "What the f--k... | |
| Audible Illusions Modulus 3 Audio Research SP-11 Stefan, The AI 3A is a much better sounding unit than the earlier 3. The 3 was not much better than my 2D. The 3A has excellent clarity, is dynamic, punchy, clean bass that has texture and nuance, and sounds just plain beautiful in MY system. Here... | |
| Audible Illusions Modulus 3 Audio Research SP-11 I owned an AI 2D from 1991 until I sold it 2 years ago. It still was as awesome sounding and looking as the day I bought it. Loved it. Sold it ONLY to upgrade to an AI 3A with John Curl MC Phono circuit so I could go back to using low output MC ca... | |
| should I suspend a floor-standing turntable? Toxic, Where are you located? I just happen to have a very good sounding for the money 4 shelf rack that is a definite step up in sound vs. my own super solid built wood rack with spikes on both. It also sounded considerably better than a custom w... | |
| SACD... can you hear the difference? Some redbook CDs sound much better than most any SACDs I've tried--admittedly that is very few (under 10). I have a Modwright 5400 with all the upgrades and it plays both formats beautifully. However, as with vinyl, there are some cds that sound b... |
