| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH No one has commented on my question regarding using digital playback sources to determine the sonic additions/subtractions of a vinyl playback rig.Since MF is stating that digital recordings of the table's signal can detect a signature, doesn't it... | |
| Good impedance match for Atma-Sphere MP3? Have you thought about a matching atma amp? The only tubes amps I have owned are atma's, (though I have had several solid state amps) and I attribute so much of the magic my system posseses to the atmas, but of course I have no other tube referenc... | |
| Direct-to-Disk, Yeah, Baby Beck recently cut a direct to disk 12" single. The lable is releasing other artists as well in D2D! | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH I think the simple answer (which unfortunatley isn't easy to do) is to let a mastering engineer hear the table and compare it to what's on the master tape.There has to be some objective truth as to what provides the most faithful reproduction of t... | |
| Dylan/Cash Sessions - good on LP? Slothman - notice I mentioned "or a digital version of some sort" - thanks for the suggestion. | |
| Low volume music I always audition speakers at low volume at some point during an audition.I think dealers/ salesman don't like when I do this. | |
| Best 27' speaker stands? TBG, I too was shocked when I heard the price. I was looking to get a 6 tier rack.That would only set me back $42,000. I have enough gear for 2 rack probably.When talking with Robert at Starsound he indicated that the purity and machining of brass... | |
| Best 27' speaker stands? Irish 65 thanks for the info.TBG, The top black/bottom plates are steel.I believe they are also going to release a steel plate versionof the stage rack (but with brass rods) at some point to hit a lowerprice point, as the Stage is something like $... | |
| Best 27' speaker stands? Irish,Could you provide more info about the Stage? Is it the same configuration as the 20" stand or is it a low stand like the picture of the Stage amp stand I saw from when they showed it an a show a while back? I'd love to see a picture of this.... | |
| Best 27' speaker stands? Norm, out of the price range you want but Sistrum stands are unbelievable. | |
| Raven One Dgad,what stand were you using? I think the Sistrum is not isolation but meant to act as a mechanical ground for vibration. Are you using just plain Still points or their full triangular stand? | |
| Raven One I just wanted to post a follow up that getting the correct size Sistrum stand has really taken an already stellar sounding table to a new level. I had the SP-03 temporarily since the SP-1 was out of stock.The Sistrum SP-03 was a nice improvement i... | |
| What speakers can b considered as world reference? Since MBL seems to depart from most other designs as far as being omni, what are people's opinions of MBL's?Interesting discussion about backwave. I believe that is one of the major design paramaters of the ceramic/kevlar wrapped cabinet in my Cer... | |
| Sufjan Stevens, Come On Feel The Illinoise I have a funny introduction to Sufjan.I read some reviews of Illinios when it first came out and hoped to hear it at some point. A few months later I was contact by a filmmaker that shot a Sufjan live concert all with diffferent cameras, 16mm film... | |
