| What cart. for the Reed 3P? Any thoughts on pairing a Reed arm with an SME 15 or 20 table. Well designed, organic sounding arm, that mates well with a wide variety of carts. Then pair the Reed with the SME, a proven design, with a long, successful track record. A solid compa... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia & 518ia tube rolling Brent is great. Nothing but positive experience with him for me. | |
| Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K I'm going to be hearing a Stabi S with 12" VTA in a couple of weeks. I will chime in with some thoughts afterward. Alexander, may I ask what you have cherished the most from your past setups. I think an SME with something other than the matching a... | |
| Kronos vs TW Acoustic Can I crash this party, and see what thoughts are on Kuzma tables. MF just reviewed the Stabi M with 14" arm in the new Stereophile. It was a good review, but he mentioned it was a bit on the dry side with his Lyra cartridge.I've only heard a Feic... | |
| What is a good cartridge match for Shindo Monbrison preamp and pioneer plx 1000? Those Hana's are very interesting. I may look in to one myself. Thanks Johnny. If the OP is still with us, I spoke with Danny today, and he liked the CA Maestro in to Shindo MM very much. He has not heard the Nagaoka in to Shindo. Best of luck wit... | |
| Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K I think the TW Acustic GT may be north of 10K. The Brinkmann Spyder is a nice table…. I heard it last year, with a Reed arm. But definitely north of 10K. Pear Audio and Kuzma have offerings within OP's stated $ range. The Raven 1 with an Ortofon a... | |
| What is a good cartridge match for Shindo Monbrison preamp and pioneer plx 1000? johnnyb- Herb likes everything (-: The Hana's are interesting, and don't break the bank. I know both of the dealers I mentioned have experience with a few cartridges carts beyond the usual suspects. I thought my Dyn 20X2-L sounded good direct in... | |
| What is a good cartridge match for Shindo Monbrison preamp and pioneer plx 1000? Thats a great question, and one I’ve been unable to fully solve. My first thought would be the Ortofon SPU Royal N, direct in to your MC. If you want to try an MM, perhaps the Clearaudio Maestro, or one of the Nagaokas. I would ask Danny Labrecque... | |
| Kuzma tables/arms? Please help this indecisive guy make a final decision. All I'm sure about is I'm going Black on the Stabi S. Here are the things I have to decide on. I can go for the 12" version of the table, which of course would allow me to chose any 12" arm in... | |
| Harbeth dealer near Nashville, TN Gene Rubin seems to have it going on with Harbeth. He has the Exposure and Croft, both of which are supposed to be excellent with Harbeths. No affiliation, other than being a new P3 owner, and also in the market for an integrated…. | |
| Leaving the Naim game . . . I’ve yet to hear the Exposure, but have been reading the reviews, as well as user comments. I spoke with a dealer who loves the 2010S (new D version) with Harbeth P3’s, which is what I just bought. So between the Exposure and the Croft, I think I’... | |
| Building second system around Harbeth P3 esr Thanks Michael and Johnny R. I will try to hear all that I can. Please keep the thoughts coming. Ultimately, I have to figure this out, but it's always interesting to hear what's working for other Harbeth users. | |
| Sonus Faber Amati Homage - need to move Where do they need to go? | |
| Kuzma tables/arms? Will also ad.... the body of the note and decay must be fully represented, along with leading edge. Don't want any of this skeleton like, leading edge emphasis with no body. Just even handed, fully realized notes. | |
| Kuzma tables/arms? Energetic, yet immersive sound that allows emotional connection to the music. Touches the Heart, as much or more, than the brain. |
