| What's next after Clearaudio Concept ? What do you guys think about a Nottingham Hyperspace.Can get my hands on a mint condition one for around $2800, but the kicker is that it does not come with a tone arm, which might be a grand more.That extra grand is giving me a pause. But have he... | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill Hi Lewm,Actually the line stage on Coincident Phono is better than direct CD player connection to the Coincident power amp (which has its own volume control).The bass and "weight" of the music came back and "deflation" caused by lack of pre-amp ha... | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill 3 Months Later. To provide a conclusion to this fantastic thread.I first made the "rational" choice and got the EAR 834P. Enjoyed it for a while.I was later convinced that getting CSPS would obviate the need for a line stage for my Digital (so tru... | |
| Help for a vinyl novice The Clearaudio Concept that is on sale by me (another analog novice), is a great choice. I thoroughly enjoyed this table, its almost plug and play. | |
| What's next after Clearaudio Concept ? Fjn04, yes thats what I thought.The carts were different in the two TTs so that could be a factor.RP6 -> Exact MMNOTT -> Clearaudio Virtuoso MMNOTT sounded similar to my Clearaudio Concept with Concept MM cart more than the rega. | |
| What's next after Clearaudio Concept ? I heard the RP6 yesterday, and absolutely loved it. So engaging and lively and dynamic.Enjoyed it better than the Nottingham Interspace Jr. Though it had more details and more open soundstage, and sounded less compressed.Looking forward to hearing... | |
| Denon DL103R on Clearaudio Concept ? NEver mind, figured it out.For anyone else pondering on this in the future, no Denon DL103R will not work.Too light for the concept tonearm. | |
| Denon DL103R on Clearaudio Concept ? Maybe no one has tried this combination out.Whats a cheap MC cart (<500$) that you have tried on the Clearaudio Concept that has worked for you ? | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? My Coincident Dragons Mk II should be with me for a very long time. | |
| What's next after Clearaudio Concept ? prcinka, Speaking of Garrard 301, there is a Lenco L75 I can get my hands on. Any idea if a stock Lenco will beat the Clearaudio Concept (CC)?Vinylmad, I was thinking maybe Rega RP8, but from the responses, think VPI seems to be recommended brand ... | |
| E.A.R 834p. VS Graham Slee Reflex EAR is fantastic, and yes I agree its overpriced by a few hundred dollars.Best deal would be to buy it used for around a grand. | |
| Amp Recommendations for AZ Crescendo In atleast 2 audio shows I know of; the creator/designer of AZ speakers matched them with Triode Corp tube amps and they sounds fantastic. So I guess you cannot go wrong with that. | |
| Preamp with Tone Control Recommendations .... While the TRX-1 is only $3000, $1700 on audiogon. | |
| Preamp with Tone Control Recommendations .... Triode Corporation TRX-1 Tube Pre-amp comes with tone controls.The great thing is that these tone controls can be bypassed too; using the remote. | |
| Upgrade from Verity Parsifal to Parsifal Encore?? Thanks Marty, for your response.My guess is that Parsifal Encore might just work fine. But there is no way I can actually verify it. Wish I could find a used Leonore (never seen those) or afford a Sarastro.Think I will add Tannoy to my list, to co... |
