| Considering Shindo goldprint- have you heard the Shindo CV391? | |
| concrete (cinder) block tower with wood chopping block for turntable stand The table is a Luxman PD 151. It's doing nicely on my Lignolab suspended rack, but my preference is for this (2nd) system to be in another part of the room. Each system will occupy a different wall. | |
| concrete (cinder) block tower with wood chopping block for turntable stand Wasn't expecting so many responses. It's a dedicated room, which I have free reign to do as I wish. There are ways to spruce up the look...I think after a trip to the fabric store and a little creativity, it can be made to look acceptable. I moved... | |
| concrete (cinder) block tower with wood chopping block for turntable stand Interesting... I couldn't see these rocking due to the sheer weight of each block. These are 16 " front to back (DEEP), 8" wide, and 8" tall. Each block must have weighed near 40 Lbs. Not so much out of necessity, but more about not being very imp... | |
| Shindo Vosne Romanee / MC240 / Linn LP12 / ProAc & Altec - DAC? "I love the MC240 for the story and warmth of sound. I think the reality is that at some point Shindo Monoblocks will come into play but I feel like the 240 has more than enough power to drive the 19s and certainly the ProAc The sounds of ProA... | |
| Asking for members blessings on Nagaoka MP 300 purchase So they have a lightly used MP 500, which I believe was a return with very few hrs. I actually can get it for less than the MP 300 new. The 300 is supposed to be a bit warmer, but will does up some detail to the 500. And my understanding is the 30... | |
| My Sonic Lab Platinum v Gold Signature I was looking at the two MSL cartridges below the Gold and Platinum. The Hyper and the Ultra Eminent. I may have the model names off, but the former is $5500, and latter $8,000 US dollars. I found the Hyper did give up some detail to the Ultra. Bu... | |
| Which MM, MI, or Hi output...Nagaoka 300/500, Clearaudio Maestro, Soundsmith Carmen The Carmen is a new entry to my list of considerations. In reading a couple of reviews, it apparently has a warmer character. As good as the Goldring is supposed to be, the reviews and forum feedback do not portray it as being on the warmer side. ... | |
| You've run some pretty fancy MC's, but the _______ MM cartridge really impressed me The My Sonic Lab Hyper MC in my main system/turntable offers great detail. But with that wealth of detail, it also offers plenty of body. But I’m sure there will be trade offs for a HO cart in this price range. So with that, I’m just looking for s... | |
| You've run some pretty fancy MC's, but the _______ MM cartridge really impressed me The only mass spec on the 250 I could find was the ST (straight) version, but the S (S shaped) may have a similar mass. Apparently 18 grams total mass with the head shell itself being 15 grams alone. So there's future flexibility with changing hea... | |
| You've run some pretty fancy MC's, but the _______ MM cartridge really impressed me OP here....Let’s accept any high output cart including Moving Iron. I apologize for not being specific. I’m actually interested in Grado, along with Clearaudio and Sumiko. I just bought a Luxman PD 151, and am thinking of going with a high output ... | |
| Luxman PD 151 mk 1 or Feickert Volare I ended up buying the PD 151 mk 1. I've been quite impressed here in the early going. I think the Volare would have been fine, but I wanted to keep this second system simple. The removable head shell is really cool. I'm considering the following c... | |
| Luxman PD 151 mk 1 or Feickert Volare Thanks...I am leaning Luxman for this very reason. I think the Jelco, while not world class, has a strong reputation. And while I don't take reviews as the last word, the latest Stereophile review (of the Mk2) did inspire confidence. I believe th... | |
| SAEC Making Tonearms Again! I would be quite surprised if many of the above comments were true regarding all Saec arms. After all, Luxman has chosen to use a Saec arm on their current Mk2 version of the PD 151. Luxman knows a thing or two about Turntables. | |
| Amplifier pairing for Altec Flamencos I essentially have the same speaker, which is the Altec 846A. I also use the Werner Jagusch (Mass Mutter on eBay...?) Crossover. The Altec’s with the Werner XO have a very high performance ceiling. I use a Shindo Parallel SET 300B, which is 18 wat... |
