| Why do I like the Denon 103r so much? I am setting up a second system, and am interested in the 103. I own the A23 (Denon 103) Step UP Transformer, which I occasionally use in my main system.The thing is, getting a compatible TT/ Tonearm setup that will work. I believe the 103 likes a... | |
| Benz Ebony LP or Lyra Delos ? I like the Benz, but have only heard earlier Lyra's. I had the Benz Ruby 3 mounted on my Vector 3, and it was nothing special. In no way am I saying the Benz is nothing special, but am speaking to a possible lack of synergy. The Lyra on the other ... | |
| Amp for Verity Parsifal encore I am not sure about the power of the 899 Integrated, but the P/E's are no SET speaker. I can guarantee that. The monitor itself is a fairly easy load. I played just the monitor with a 60 watt OTL. However, it could not control the bass when played... | |
| APO Doors Reissues Vinylvin- I had a friend over, and played Strange Days for him. He is an audiophile, but not really a huge Doors fan. Anyway, he was quite impressed, and bought his own copy. I also think Strange Days is excellent. So bottom line: I would suggest ... | |
| APO Doors Reissues Interesting- I decided to get LA Woman, and not Morrison Hotel. I passed on MH because I have a red E label, which sounds great to me. I listened to the QRP LA Woman last night, and it sounds great to me. I have a Butterfly label, and had the DCC,... | |
| Emma Watson- audiophile? Artist Shelby Lynne is also a strong vinyl advocate. There is an interview with her on youtube, if anyone is interested. I haven't heard her new record, which is on her own label. Just a Little Lovin' on QRP does sound fantastic though. This, IMO ... | |
| SS or Tubes for Spendor S3/5? Greg7- Did you feel the Brio R was not a good match with the Spendor 3/5R's ? | |
| My Harbeth system Noelpastor- Funny that you bought the Plinius at a Mall. Can't say there are many malls w/ stores that carry High End gear in the US. Just setup a bedroom system myself, and am thinking about an INTEGRATED. I assume you are quite pleased with the ... | |
| Traveler Vs TT15s1 vs? I believe cueing devices may now be available for the Well Tempered Simplex and Amadeus. I may be wrong on that. As far as used, you don't see many, thats for sure. | |
| Traveler Vs TT15s1 vs? Secretguy- I have the Amadeus, which retails at around $2700. I believe the Simplex is around $1500 or $1600. As you may have figured, I am quite happy with my Amadeus. I think the Simplex would be worth your exploring. | |

| NYC new LPs store ? The best shop I know of for Jazz is on 236 W. 26th St, between 7th and 8th Ave. It's called Jazz record center. They do have a website.... I hit it last month, and it was very impressive. It's on the 8th floor of a building, so you could walk righ... | |
| ARC LS25 with PASS X250 - bad match? Seems bright. The Rockports certainly aren't your problem, and I doubt its your cabling. I will assume what you describe is on all sources, with and without your sub. I have heard an ARC pre, and Pass amp once, with what I consider to be a warmer speaker. It di... | |
| Devore Nines and Daedalus Athena comparison? Been following this thread, but hesitated to comment because I have know experience with Daedalus. The Athena, according to a recent online review, retails for 10K. When I bought my Nines several years ago, they were $6500 retail. In the here and ... | |
| APO Doors Reissues I am also not sure who the reviewer for MY VINYL REVIEW is, but I did check it out. That said, I had a similar reaction about Strange Days. It was simply like, "WOW, it can't get much better than this." More importantly, it doesn't seem to strip a... |
