| best choice cartridge for my Lamm LP 2 I am open minded and want to look at any and all options I may have. That said, many great phono stages such as the ARC PH7, Herron,and others only have around 57 db of gain. Having already owned an Aesthetix Io Mk2, I cant think of an abundance o... | |
| best choice cartridge for my Lamm LP 2 Thanks for the suggestion. Just did a little reasearch,hope this may help as I am not the best technical person. The BAT linestage I tried has a 100K ohms input impedance and a 200 ohm output impedance. I may be trying an ARC linestage w/ a 120K o... | |
| Audioquest Sky/Evrest or Purist Dominus/Anniversar What is your equipment and what do you like/dislike about the AQ cables. | |
| Cary SLP-05 in combination with Theta Citadels I just heard the SLP- 05 briefly, after hearing an ARC Ref 3. The Cary had a slightly warmer midrange, which seemed to really sound nice on vocals. The ARC, while perhaps not as warm , just threw the door further openon the soundstage in all direc... | |
| CAT or VAC for Shahinian Obelsik Hi Sam,I am going to listen to a JL-2 on Monday June 5th. Even thoughI am not planning on a return to Vac amps at this time, the dealer also has the Auricle 160 monos in his showroom. I may or may not get to hear the Vacs, but would be happy to re... | |
| Best spot for my rack. My room is 23 X 12 and I have it (my Rack) on the long wall,down near my listening position. My speakers are on the short wall with my mono amps in between them. The compromise with this setup is a 25 ft. rca IC running between my rack and my amps... | |
| CAT JL-2 Signature VS. Jadis JA80 Thanks for your walk-off home run worth of responses, they helped me a great deal. In talking to CAT people, it is suggested ( and from a big CAT) not to use silver wire. After hearing this plus others using something other than an SL-1 Ultimate i... | |
| problems with CJ's Premier 140 ? anyone It has been discontinued but in certain respects, not replaced. The new reference premier tube offering is the LPM 70/LPM140 . I cannot speak of their sound, but the latestpremier offerings are supposed to be more neutral than the premier 8a I pre... | |
| Attention Vandersteen 5A owners/ amp matches I recently tried the Einstein hybrid with my 5A and all the positive press this manufacturer has received is clearly justified. It had good control of the bass , and was extremely detailed with very smooth and liquid mids and highs. As much of a w... | |
| Does anyone have the new VAC Phi 300 amplifier? Are you speaking of the one that replaced the also newVac phi 220 monos. | |
| new CJ sound compared to old CJ sound I also had a similar experience to that of Tvad. I also thought the CT-5 rounded things out in direct comparison to the FS pres Dlx2. I ultimately decided to stay w/ the FS, but am now considering going to a truly balanced preamp. I have a long 26... | |
| Attention Vandersteen 5A owners/ amp matches Thanks for all your responses to date. I see this thread dominating all even days in April, and hated to see nothing for 4/8. I am listening to an Einstein light in the dark rightnow and I guess it was aptly named. It is very quiet withvery discer... | |
| Attention Vandersteen 5A owners/ amp matches Thank you all so far. It would be easy for me to check out an ARC system with the 5A at a local dealers(NY/NJ/CT). I plan on doing so, but my only reservation would be with the current house sound of the new ARC gear. It certainly has been said pr... | |
| Vandersteen 5A or Eggleston Works Andra II It is tough to beat the 5A. It will definitley work in more room applications. The Andra 2 is a nice speaker, but I sold it to move to the 5A. I have no regrets, the Andras were much more difficult to drive. I had a 200 watt tube amp, and honestly... | |
| my tt skips I had a similar issue with my table, and my suspended floor actually turned out to be the culprit. This was only when someone moved slightly near the table. Eventually instead of tiptoeing through life, I had floor jacks installed in the room belo... |
