| ARC ls26 vs.SF Line-3/se I would gather the point here is this. If the Line 3SE isso closely comparable w/ the Ref 3, chances are the LS26would no be a worthwhile upgrade path. This of course, basedon Radical Steve's experience. I have only auditioned the Ref 3, but have ... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner I know thats not my question, but I know of only one personusing the Vector in a non- Basis setup. If you do go tomember systems, and type in Vector you may find more. Ihonestly have not heard many. Audiofeil, while you arereceiving questions, may... | |
| Great Cartridge for Graham Phantom Thanks for your input on the Phantom Sir Speedy. Do you feelthe Orpheus leans in any particular sonic direction.Ithink I will always want the Koetsu for it's midrange though.The Jade has it in spades. Although,I am looking to get better bass with ... | |
| Great Cartridge for Graham Phantom I am also thinking Phantom right now. I thought it may bea step up from my Vector 3. This would be to maximize theperformance of my Jade Platinum. I think this somehow tiesin to the original post. Any thoughts on this combo,or any of other stone b... | |
| E.A.R. Acute Reliability I have had mine for just shy of 1 year. No issueswhatsoever. I will admit though, nothing about thebuild quality does inspire confidence. It's an Arcamrebuilt by Tim D.. That said, it makes me feel alot smarter after I pushplay. Sound quality is d... | |
| What's the story with Japanese pressings? I played the new Japanese Bob Marley: Exodus. I was very impressed, no faults I could detect. The gold album w/ theraised red " Exodus" lettering is impressive as well. BTW, dead quiet surfaces too. I have the Stevie Wonder:Innervisions, but have ... | |

| Raven owners - how's your mid-range? I have a Basis 2500 up for sale now, and the Raven onewas in the small handfull that I am considering. It may be beneficial for Raven owners to know your amp, preamp,speakers. I would think it would help them get a betteridea regarding your findin... | |
| Conrad Johnson vs. McIntosh Tube Gear Those amps are supposed to be very good. I owned V4's,although I am sure they are different sounding than theTriodes. The V4's were definitely on the warmer side. Iguess all I am thinking here is, have you tried a differentpreamp. I am sure the Qu... | |
| Rockport Mira vs Kharma 3.2FE vs Magico V3 I have heard the Rockport Antare's a few times and the Hyperion at least on one occasion. I have not heard thenew line which is the 3 Mira's, , the Altair, and the Arrakis. I know Andy is manufacturing his own driversnow, if I am not mistaken. The... | |
| Da Vinci Grand referenzza toneram Thanks for the info Thomas. I am so intriquedby the arm, but there is a conservative sideof me that wants to hear from more owners experiences.It would also be nice to be able to call a dealer,and have him say " I carry brand X, but feel thatthe D... | |
| Da Vinci Grand referenzza toneram I have been interested in this arm as well, would go ona Basis 2500. Just curious if any one knew is someone isbringing this arm in the US right now. I know HighwaterSound is not any longer. | |
| Conrad Johnson amps: premier 12, premier 8,LP275M I had the Parsifal Encores, driven by a pair of Prem 8'sback in say the mid 90's. Pre was 16ls and then Art, bothseries 1's. The Parsifal to me is a fairly easy load, incomparison with the usual suspects such as Thiel,Avalon..I felt that the 8's w... | |
| Triplanar VII tonearm & Koetsu Jade Platinum cart. I spoke with someone today who has alot of experience withthe Koetsu stone bodied cartridges. He basically said thatthere is more to matching the Jade than mating it w/ a high mass arm. He stressed that energy dissipation was important, because th... |
