| SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44 Which Rockbare Speedy?? see link http://www.winelistaustralia.com.au/winery.php?winery=Rockbare If you don't get your system up and running soon you will be too far gone on the wine :-) BTW - Federer seems to be gone - long live Rafa!! | |
| MAC c-2300 vs. AR ph5 or 7? The MC stage in the C2300 is competitive with the PH7, except that it has more gain, so will be more compatible with LOMC's. | |
| Flattening a warped LP I have the new japanese market replacement for the air tight LP flattener. I guess you don't live in Australia, otherwise I would flatten one for a beer :--) or you could always buy one - they are very kool | |
| Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua Palasar XV-1 v original Te-Kaitora was similat to what Audiomax said, except gap between both was larger with XV-1 having better flow, dynamics and see thru transparency. ted-kaitora was a little misty in comparison. Stringreen. I know the XV-1 is... | |
| Ayre MR-X monoblocks - how good are they?? Fcrowder My only point was that the Einstein sounded wonderful, however not with all recordings and was a little unforgiving to poorer recordings. The unit is good enough for me to have another listen if I can, as i have removed one source of irri... | |
| Ayre MR-X monoblocks - how good are they?? Tab110 Not sure. I like the original ART the way it sounds now with the ever so slight warmth. ART 3 is a lot more money and a lot more neutral sounding from all reports. Not quite sure if that is for me. Would be nice to try both side by side - ... | |
| Ayre MR-X monoblocks - how good are they?? Stilskin and Semi were the MX-R's you both heard fully run in?? I know Arye state quite firmly that they need 300-400 hours to sound decent. Both of you seem to have completely different views of the amps - which is fine | |
| Ayre MR-X monoblocks - how good are they?? Semi Grand prix stand might be OK, however I am not a fan of their racks. They sway like the breeze and add a bit of upper energy which can be tiresome over time. The Pass XONO is no chopped liver and can easily hold its own to the Einstein, PH7, ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul Can a Nagaoka MP50 or B&O MMC2 be used on an arm like the Graham Phantom - or do they have to be with an arm with removable headshell?? These cartridges seem to be available from a few on line dealers. BTW, which cartridge has the better... | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? Koegz And the point of your post is?? Does this make you feel better about your Walker Black Diamond than you did before or were you tempted to trade in on the TW Acustic until you read this enlightening Valin comment. It would be interesting to s... | |
| Thanks to Raul. Raul and I have had some good meaty discussions over the years. I may not have always agreed with him, however I have always learnt things from Raul and many other good folks here on audiogon. Me I am going to take a leaf out of Raul's book and ge... | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions Yea Dan, I was talking about using the protractor and paraphrasing Thom. I have used a wally for some time with my JMW. When I upgraded from 12.5 to 12.6 - worked fine. from 12.6 to 12.7 the P2S distance changed - can't use the wally anymore. Me I... | |
| Thin record and thin sound? I have thousand's of 120gm and less vinyl and they sound great. It has more to do with the pressing and what copy of te master they used to press the vinyl that the thikcness. If you don't or cannot adjust VTA and most of your LP's are setup for 1... | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions Thomthanks for trying to explain this in more simple terms with the pro's and con's. due to the fact I live in Australia, I'll leave it up to some of the other folks in the US to take advantage of your kind offer. just a few comments/questions - G... | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions So, Out of all this great discussion. I am more confused than ever. Is there a best way to set your arm and cartridge up to minimise groove distortions, generally sound the most musical and leave it resonably easy. Or is a combination of eg Feiker... |
