| battling the pops and clicks thanks for all the info, I am finding that I am learning how to clean my records in a way that is improving the noises I was getting before. I would be interested to hear what methods Nrchy and Lugnut are using to clean their records. I have a str... | |
| I finally bought a record cleaning machine $ I sort of have the same problem. I recently got the 16.5 thinking it would give me dead quiet vinyl. That has not been the case for me either. I have some new records that are pretty darn quiet, with just the occasional pop, but I also have new LP... | |
| More Power is always good? I think Krell Man makes a good point. You may not need the extra power, but once you become accustomed to what more power can do for you at all levels it becomes hard to go back to lower powered amps. The kind and amount of power you feed to your ... | |
| Walker Audio high def links? Yeah Ric's BOB module didn't work in my systems either. | |
| Walker Audio high def links? I never had much luck with these on My Eros Mk 3. I did have great results with them on some other dynamic speakers I used them with though. Just didn't seem to do much of anything on my Eros, so I took them off. It always seemed to me that these ... | |
| cartridge on budget table? What about a Dynavector 10x5. | |
| Whats the best sampling for A do D to CD My experience is that the AD converter makes the most difference here. I have done a lot of studio work, and when I bought a Wadia 17 AD converter it really took things up a notch. When you buy an digital interface that does everything and is rela... | |
| Anyone tried the new AA Capitole Reference ? I had the upgrade done to my Capitole, which I had for 2 years before. It's hard to know for sure how much can be attributed to the upgrade, but in my opinion the 750.00 upgrade is not worth it and I feel that it has lost a bit of musicality, with... | |
| new vs. used vinyl, pops and clicks. Thanks for the info guys, you're making me feel better about it. I am getting a VPI 16.5, so I will be able to clean my records. Sounds like I don't have to much to worry about. | |
| New Amplifier: Bryston 4B ST or Pass Aleph 5 I would think the Aleph 5 would not be enough power for the MG12s. I had the Aleph 2s which are more powerful and ran them with 94db efficient speakers and I wouldn't have wanted any less power. The Aleph speakers while sounding pretty great overa... | |
| Best solid state pre-amp below US $ 10.000,00 ?? I've not tried most, but going from the tubed CJ 17LS to the Ayre K1x was like a revalation. The Ayre preamp has brought out the most significant improvment I've ever made to any stereo system. | |
| Whick system is better for 70K retail? Personally I don't think the CJ 17Ls is capable of truly world class sound. I think if you could find a few more bucks to get a better pre than the 17Ls is would be a major improvment. The Capitole can run direct, but should sound better through a... | |
| Question about quality of Meadowlark I had a pair of Kestrels for a couple of years and I had a tweeter go bad twice. They did send me a replacment, which I soldered in myself both times. In speaking with them regarding this they did mention that they had been having trouble with thi... | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. Not to trying to be a know it all, but the John Cage piece discussed is actually 4:33 and I find it quite lovely | |
| Wadia direct into amp, Sound a bit too lean?? The Z-Systems is not going to do you any good since it would require the use of a separate transports since it only offers digital ins and outs. It is a great unit however and I can see how it would be marvelous between a Wadia transport and DAC, ... |
