| shindo pre-amp and power amp reliabilty I bought a Shindo preamp and amp. The pre is a bit over a year old, while the amp is a bit under one year old. There is something about these components that inspire confidence. They are dead quiet, the amp being much quieter than any tube amp I h... | |
| Cowboy Junkies: Trinity Sessions on Vinyl Thanks Jtinn and Has2be. Checked Acoustic Sounds and Music Direct last night. Neither has the 45 rpm, but both have the 200 gram LP. I will keep an eye out for the 45, but may have to settle on the 200 Gram. There just Has2be a way to get the 45. | |
| Cowboy Junkies: Trinity Sessions on Vinyl I just saw them live in Troy, NY recently. Not my kind of venue, but they were very good. I also have TS on a Gold CD, not sure of the label offhand. Anyway, I have gone vinyl only for now, and want to get a nice pressing. Maybe I will spring for ... | |
| Koetsu owners cartridge set up ? Samhar, Thanks for clarifying. It's always good when you can try other cartridges. I won't ask the details of your experience, as it get's off the original subject here. I am also trying a new cartridge on a new TT, not my Basis/Vector setup. I am... | |
| Koetsu owners cartridge set up ? You can see some measurments if you go to almost live audio's websire. I think it's almostliveaudio.com, or just google almost live audio. There is alink from there to Koetsu's and their measurments.... If Samhar did not mention it, and he may hav... | |
| Great 16 ohm Full Range loudspeakers Atec Valencia 846A has a 16 ohm version. The humble Duke also did not mention his Audio Kinesis speakers. Audio Note make a High Efficiency version of the AN-E, designated HE. However, I believe it's 98DB, but not 16 Ohm. I think the AN-E HE's are... | |
| Best way to get accurate rake angle on speakers Thanks for all the thoughts so far. I am running DeVore Nines, which have the Tweeter below the midrange. I use one of those chaise lounge, good for your back type chairs, so my ears are generally less than 36" from the ground. The manual suggests... | |
| driving Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations? "I need every single one of those 200watts to drive the P/E. If I crank up to about 100db my amp is playing at 80-90% output, so I don't quite see how any of these low powered amps could drive the P/E or P/O to high volumes."***Agree w/ Edorr for ... | |
| Graham Phantom II VS Vector 4 Tonearm Very nice TT setup. How would you like whatever changeyou make to impact the tonal balance of your system.What is your phono stage. | |
| Graham Phantom II VS Vector 4 Tonearm Certainly this thought won't be a revelation, but the cartridge may decide which arm is better. I heard for instance that Miyabi is great match w/ the Phantom. I have also seen the Transfiguration/Vector combo used quite a bit. No great shock , as... | |
| Dynavector 507 vs. Triplanar Lula, are you speaking of Stone or wood bodied Koetsu's.I believe Jeff at High water could shed some light on the choice for you too. | |
| Nola Viper Owners, Lend Me Your Amps "I even sent Nola an email about amplification and got no response." Hopefully, he is just slow to respond, or maybe out of town."I guess Carl didn't want to come off as biased towards one product or another, and that's cool." IMHO, this would not... | |
| SUT shootout Great thread Sibelius. Thanks for sharing your findings. I am also using a Koetsu, the Jade, in to a Shindo Monbrison. I started w/ the A23 High Impedance Denonversion SUT. I preferred it to the built in Shindo SUT,especially w/ rock music. I then... | |
| Phono cartridge for classic rock I have heard the EMT cartridges on a few occasions. I thought they were great on rock. I heard the Denon 103R for thefirst time a few days ago. Again, I liked it on rock too.EMT makes a cartridge called the tsd-15 for just south of 2K.Your price r... | |
| Looking for the Honda S2000 of turntables I know nothing about SP-10's, other than reading about it's excellent rep and strong following. I am getting ready to add a second TT, to use aside my Basis 2500/Vector 3. I am not a great setup guy, and have had a few dealers work on my TT to get... |
