| Cartridge suggestions for Rega 25 Hi- Don't overlook the Rega cartridges, they are extremely musical. And they certainly will not give you any mismatch or hum problems. I would only caution that they can be bright in an already bright system, so your mileage may vary. If not the R... | |
| NEED HELP CHOOSING NEW DAC Hi- If you get a chance to audition one, try the Audio Van Alstine OmegaStar DAC. It's a bargain, and sounds exceptionally good. It might not beat what you have, since I haven't been lucky enough to hear a Cary in my system, but the AVA is eminent... | |
| Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits Hi-You might want to try some of the Mark Knopfler written soundtracks, there's some really nice music in these: Cal Last Exit To Brooklyn Local Hero The Princess Bride Wag The Dog Or, there's a really nice double LP called "Mark Knopfler - Screen... | |
| Help Needed With Rock Music Trivia Many thanks to all who responded, both here and privately. We've come up with an answer - it was a young Ted Nugent photo. Thanks again! Ed | |
| Shure V15--A Good Cartridge? Hi- Put me down on the list of those who think the V15 is non-dynamic, and lacking in the resolution of many other cartridges in (or close to) its price range. And run away very fast from the person who said:"It's not good for anything but rock be... | |
| to cut or not to cut: help Hi- Before you cut, answer this question: Do you think a well-respected company like Air Tight would intentionally use a power cord that would make their product sound BAD? And then compound the problem by making it non-user serviceable? If you li... | |
| MC Cartridge Suggestions? Hi Dave- I can highly recommend the Dynavector, if the Rega phono stage can handle its low output. The 17D2 is extremely dynamic, rhythmic, detailed, and non-fatiguing. I think the Goldring sounds quite a bit "muddy" and non-dynamic compared to th... | |
| which is better 1.bit 256 sampling 0r 24/96 Hi gang-In my many experiences with various digital equipment I've always come away with the impression that, to my ears anyway, Bitstream/Delta DACs have been slightly "softer" dynamically than the multi-bit DACs I've heard. I've always preferred... | |
| Naim -- Fatiguing? In my opinion, you have two Hi-fi choices. Sterile, "Audiophile" type sound, where each note is reproduced separately, in all its shining glory to be enjoyed as a single entity - Or, a system (or brand name) that attempts to recreate a musical exp... | |
| Mark Levinson Owners - Camac Connector Info Follow-up to Camac Info- Hi guys- I received an e-mail from JJB (Thanks!) who said: Ed, Today I talked to Joe Cusick at Fischer Connectors who was very helpful. Fischer unfortunately doesn't have a good mechanism for dealing with the small guys. ... | |
| MC cartridge that best mates with RB300 arm.... I second the Dynavector recommendation. Absolutely musical in an RB 300. Available in high & low outputs - but some say the low outputs sound a little better, if you have the correct preamp for them. I have no real experience in that, I've onl... | |
| Are there any Audiophile versions of the Eagles..? Kw6-Get the LP. You won't listen to the CD ever again. :-)If you want a CD to use as a demo, try the Columbia/Legacy "American Milestones" reissue of Willie Nelson's "Stardust" (CK65946)- Or, the Paul McCartney "Unplugged - (The Official Bootleg)"... | |
| Cartridge recommedation needed for old table/arm Hi Ed- My recommendation would be to slap an affordable Grado into the old table and enjoy the heck out of it while you save for a better turntable/tonearm combo. Then you can put the Grado in that, and enjoy it until you can afford the cartridge ... | |
| Arm / Cartridge: How to pick the best combo ? Hi Sean- If you are looking for an affordable arm/cartidge combo - since they're going to be gifts I can't imaging your budget stretching to a couple of Koetsus :-) - I would highly recommend the Rega 250 or 300 tonearms with the Rega Bias or Elys... | |
| "tube" cd players? Nope-Sorry if I offended you. Your post sounded to me like some young kid trying to justify his recent purchase. It just gets my hairs up when someone tries to turn our hobby into a pissing contest. Obviously you do have a basis for your opinion, ... |
