| Positioning of component racks I recently changed from a 7.0 meter RCA to a 2.0 meter rca, after hearing an improvment with the shorter cable. Obviously, it was apples>apples comparison with both cables being the same brand/model. The sacrifice I made was moving my 40" high ... | |
| VAC amp and Shindo Pre Hi , I will be listening to my Vac amp with a Shindo preamp mid week. I am in upstate NY, and you would also be welcome to bring your Monbrison to my place to hear it for yourself. My Phi 300.1 certainly is not the same as Kevins Rennaisance amps,... | |
| Vac Renaissance Signature Mark II vs. Cary SLP-05 Just another thought. If you like the Vac, the Renaissance is now a mk.3 , which I believe is Vac's newest preamp offering. Perhaps yours can be upgraded. The pricing is 10K line, 12 K w/ phono. I would second John's suggestion on the Shindo and D... | |
| Shindo preamps Hi, the quote on the Shindo was stated to me as follows. "Assuming that it's the Shindo Masseto that you're considering,you should be aware that it's basically a reworking of the Marantz 7 circuit. The Wavestream phono stage is also the same basic... | |
| whats the finest recorded cd you've heard? Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds : Luther college. Shirley Horn: You won't forget me. Eagles: Hell freezes over XRCD. The Pretenders: Isle of view, which is them unplugged. Cat Stevens: Tea for the Tillerman MFSL, I know MFSL has it's detractors, but th... | |
| Phono stage match for Koetsu I went to hear the Shindo preamps today. I was very impressed with what I heard, although in a system that was a bit different from mine. The dealer was running a .6mv cartridge, but I have heard of owners running as low asas a .24mv ZYX Universe ... | |
| Phono stage match for Koetsu Yes, Goodwins High End in Mass.. Thanks. | |
| Phono stage match for Koetsu Thanks for the help. The Einstein is supposed to be a great unit. I am running single ended also, and the SE version is about 5K, so it would be within my budget. I am sure the TT choice would be worth hearing paired with a good line stage.The Shi... | |
| Sumiko Blackbird, Shindo and EAR ** and I think you are right that it sounds even better... not worlds better, but I find it a tad more transparent.** It sounds like the difference between a very good, well implemented tranformer vs. not going through a transformer at all. I thin... | |
| Front wall treatment It seems as if the OC 703 panels are similar to the ATS panels at a lower cost. Is the ATS a similar fiberglass material, but just already covered in fabric. | |
| Joule phono stage/ Enough gain for .2mv cartridge Thanks for that info Raul. FWIW, I do not own the LA-150II, but have been considering trying it. I am trying to gather canditates in the 8-12K range which will have the gain for .25mv cartridges. I am thinking tube, with the flexibility of adjusta... | |
| Joule phono stage/ Enough gain for .2mv cartridge Thanks Sounds real audio. Did you or any of your customers use something comparable to the Jade with the Joule's phono section. | |
| Cat Stevens remaster cd's I saw a Tea for the Tillerman, with the bonus tracks the other day. It was 2008 Universal w/ the fancy packaging. It was $29.99. I have the MFSL gold cd, so I held off. My MFSL does sound very good IMO, but I may splurge on the new one. It had som... | |
| Shindo Latour vs Verity vs DeVore ..etc I have heard the Silverback for a short session at a dealers, and it was very impressive. It was driven by Nagra Pyramid SS monos. I owned Parsifal Encores, and always enjoyed them. They sounded so good with Tenor OTL's, especially on acoustic stu... | |
| Who sells lead shot pellets to fill an equip.stand A good option may be the stuff they use in those outdoor ashtrays in public places. It is denser than play sand.However, is is around $15.00 per box and may get priceydepending on how much you need. |
