Well Tempered Amadeus Options
Congratulations El34eh, you will love the GTA. I doubt you will glance in the rear view mirror. Regardless if it's 5 or 10 percent better, it is a great table. Another cartridge that may be worth future consideration is the Ortofon Royal N. I thin... 
Well Tempered Amadeus Options
Interesting thought! I believe that cartridgecompatibility for both versions are the same.Certainly it would stand to reason to put the extra $850 in to a better cartridge. IMHO, the EMT tsd-15 is a great match w/ my standard Amadeus. Don is well ... 
Well Tempered Amadeus Options
I have the standard Amadeus, but unfortunately do not have the answer to your question. I did inquire about the same thing, but frankly could not get much info on the subject. That said, now I don't look back, because it has indeed lived up to my ... 
QRP/AP The Doors remasters
"It's sad that the music industry is so thin on new talent that they have to resort to endless reissues of material that most music lovers and collectors already have in spades. The Beatles, Pink Floyd, now the Doors-who's next?I question the impr... 
QRP/AP The Doors remasters
Excellent thread ! I also saw that on the AS website. I am very heavy on Doors Vinyl, just because I love The Doors. I have DCC's, 1st press Tan Labels.... I also steered clear of that last remastered set Td160 mentioned because of that word digit... 
sut with phono pre, does it keep the pre's signatu
I would double check w/ EAR or your dealer to make sure this is OK to do in the first place. I also own the Choir Audio SUT-H7, and agree it is a great sounding unit. I haven't heard the Bob's Cinemag, but it has quite the following. Certainly the... 
Miyajima Shilabe with Shindo preamp ?
Initial impressions are pretty positive. It sounds best going through the hi impedance setting on my Choir Audio H-7 SUT.It doesn't sound as if it's digging up everything in the grooves on the Vector arm. I really had no reason to thinkthis would ... 
Miyajima Shilabe with Shindo preamp ?
Dr John- To my ears, dynamic's are slightly better w/ the SUT. I may be losing a bit of air/detail on top w/ the SUT, but nothing that I have missed. Perhaps just a trade off, that for me, suits the type of music I listen to. That said, you are li... 
Miyajima Shilabe with Shindo preamp ?
Second to last word is a typo, meant to say overhang ! 
Miyajima Shilabe with Shindo preamp ?
Restock - I appreciate the suggestion on the Schroeder. I have heard it takes very good setup skills, in that it's not a set it and forget it arm. I did get most of the way through mounting the Shilabe on the Vector last night, but then I got a bi... 
Miyajima Shilabe with Shindo preamp ?
Thanks for all your opinions so far. I really do have to try the Shilabe on the Vector 3, although I have no reason to think the combo will have good synergy. The SME M2 12-R or the Schick would both seem like great choices to maximize the potenti... 
Miyajima Shilabe with Shindo preamp ?
Dr_john, I have the Monbrison. I am running an A23 Denon 103 SUT, and a Choir Audio Hashimoto H7, which offers lo/hi impedance settings. Gain has never been an issue for me w/ Shindo preamps. I have heard two Dynavectors, an Ortofon Royal N, EMT, ... 
My favorite Steely Dan song has to be...
I think Two Against Nature is a very good DVD too. Their records are all good, especially Gaucho and earlier. The only hole in my collection was Countdown, and I finally found a nice copy on MCA. Still in search of a clean ABC, but this one sounds... 
Amp for my kharma CRM3.2
I bet a Shindo Montrachet would sound good. I just haven't seen many on the used market. As you said, do give your Consonance amp a fair shot. I think Pitch Perfecthad a used Montille 6V6 for sale. That said, the Montrachet is one I have heard at ... 
Amp for my kharma CRM3.2
I have a thought, but let me first begin with a question.Do you have a feel yet, if the Nines or 3.2's are the easier load. I have owned both the Midi Grand 1.0's, and Nines, but with different amps.... This may be a tough call, since your room ha...
