| Can a $3K table be among the best out there? "The Amadeus' lack of suspension and use of MDF for the plinth are where that design saved money, it seems."Roscoeiii- I agree on the STD Amadeus using MDF for a Plinth. That's where someone has the option of the Aluminum sandwich Plinth on the GT... | |
| Need recommendations for a Cartridge under $2K The best sub 2K cartridge I have ever heard is the EMT tsd-15.I have no idea how it would mate w/ your tonearm or phono stage. I have mine successfully mated to a Well Tempered Amadeus. | |
| Power Plant Premier making sound worse? "BTW i prefer pure copper, silver and gold plated outlets. I have not enjoyed any experiments with rhodium-plated outlets, but that is one person's taste."I wanted to bring this thread back from the dead. I am experimenting with Cryoed Hubbell 536... | |

| Spendor speakers Hi Neal-Just bought a pair of S3/5R's for a second system. I will be running a Well Tempered Amadeus TT, and an LM Audio 211IA, 30 WPC PP amp. Still have to buy a cartridge and phono stage. Glad to hear you are loving the Spendors. My LM integrate... | |
| Recommendations for Amp/speaker combo for $10,000 Perhaps take a listen to DeVore 0/93's. You could do either the LM 211IA which use EL34's, or their KT88 amp. That model # escapes me. Either of these amps with the 0/93's will have you south of 10K. These are tube integrateds, and are IMHO, good ... | |
| Japanese pressings/thanks to unknown collector Wow-congrats on he find. I am shocked that they were made available to you right away. My local record store has an e-bay acct, where they sell stuff like this. May I ask the general prices of these records. The last Japanese pressing I bought was... | |
| Tube pre/power combo for Rockport Aviors I know at one point Andy had C-J amps in house, the Premier 12's I believe. This is going back some time, but he may still have them. | |
| AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9 Dayglow- Sounds to me like your in nice shape. The H-1200, although no longer in production, is supposed to be a nice piece. I believe Allnic is coming out with a new entry level unit. Hopefully, you will soon have an opportunity to hear one or mo... | |
| AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9 Thanks Vortrex, your comments are much appreciated. Just to make sure, it sounds like at one point you went from an Amadeus > Amadeus GTA ?If so, I assume all else including cartridge remained the same. Dayglow-If you spend around 5K on the TT ... | |
| AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9 Vortrex, Did you think the GTA was better in any specific area? I haven't done any comparisons, but I could still upgrade my order.Word has it that the upgrade path is like: Simplex > Amadeus= 10% better, Amadeus > Amadeus GTA= 5%....Sorry t... | |
| AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9 Dayglow- In main system, which is listed on my system page, I have an Amadeus. I have an Emt TSD-15 mounted on it. The retail on the EMT is around $1800. For my second system, I just bought another TT. I was debating between a Rega RP6 and Simplex... | |
| AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9 Dayglow- That's what I figured on the P9, since the RP series is out. The rock 7 is definitely more $ than an Amadeus. It's like $3200 without a tonearm. The Amadeus is $2850, or $3250 if you add the DPS power supply. So basically the Rock still n... | |
| AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9 Dayglow- It sounds like you may have read it, but there is an A/S review of the Rock 7. It's written by Robert Greene, and he makes comparisons between the Rock and the Amadeus. What I drew from the review was he seemed to like the Rock a bit bett... | |
| AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9 You may want to consider the Rega RP8! I think it will soon be available, if not already. I also recommend the Well Tempered Amadeus, as another option. I am buying a TT for a second system, and have settled on the standard Amadeus. Another intere... |
