| Shindo Latour Speakers That's right,It is the dream speaker for some of us, but your questions can be answered only from someone who has the Latour in his system. So far it seems no one purchase the Latour or even the Shindo 604 (another marvel !) and I think it's a rea... | |
| Anyone here knows the Reed 3Q tonearm? Hi Curio,A Lexan platter mat would be helpful to bring back some vividness.But in this case the cartridge is boring! so, it can compensates for the Technoarm's inherent confusion & everyone is happy again!My experience with this cartridge in m... | |
| cardas golden cros vs golden reference Jmlab926,True but I feel is too hot in that topic for me to comment there. In my case the Nordost SPM REF. was on the opposite side : completely flat & uninvolving & it seems to me as a faillure attempt by it's designer to catch the perfec... | |
| cardas golden cros vs golden reference For speaker cable ONLY !I agree with all of them.I used to have Hexlink Golden 5C, Golden Cross, SE 9 & on loan for 3 weeks the Golden Ref.The later is the best but very expensive.The Hexlink Golden 5C is the real treasure. The perfect medicin... | |
| Stand out phono stages Lewm,The Klyne was excellent back then but now has easily surpassed by the much cheaper Einstein. The ASR has a barely acceptable above the average performance, equal of the best of the TEADs also they doesn't worth the asking price. The Krell KPE... | |
| Anyone here knows the Reed 3Q tonearm? Hi Nandric,I don't care to sell anything.My concern is about a set-up that can be a long time keeper.I bought my first Pluto (7A special) twenty years back and my 9A Prestige Titanium since it's first day of commercial availability. I like it very... | |
| Anyone here knows the Reed 3Q tonearm? Me too !I keep my 9,5" Pluto 9A for now, but I like my Reed 3Q 12" also. The 9A is more exciting while the 3Q more calm.Both have extreme precision but the Reed is easier to set while the Pluto is a nightmare.I compare them in both my turntables w... | |

| Tele CCa Vs, Siemens CCa I have the blue pointed head Tele CCa (without the <> )I think it is a special order from Siemens.They are unbelievably better (organic, weight, tonality) than the Semens CCa (definition, clarity, no bass & weight)that comes 2nd (but not... | |
| Van Den Hul perfect match for B&W - true or not? I used to have the old 801 FS and it was not at all fusy about cables or power amp matching. Back then I was driving them with the Goldmund Mimesis 9 and it was pretty clear the cable winner.The shoot-out was between:The Transparent "Ultra" , Yama... | |
| Great 16 ohm Full Range loudspeakers I forgor to mention that the PHY KM 30 sag (that my Ocellia Calliope uses) has a max power limit of 25W so, I feel it is better to look elsewhere (even if the open character of your MA1 can manage to cure some weight problems of the Ocellia).Also ... | |
| Great 16 ohm Full Range loudspeakers I used to live with Ocellia Caliope .3 silver but I could not stand it's slow, muddy & thick character, so after 4 years of changing every posible link in chain, I give up & trade it.I now use a Carfrae Little Big Horn with Lowther PM6A Ti... | |

| Best phono amplification for my setup ? A Croft model depending on your budget (valve mm only with tube buffer & volume/selector -not active line preamp) & a dedicated step-up for your DL103 from Auditorium 23. George | |
| ProAc or Harbeths? May I suggest the D28 over the two.The HL40.1 & D38 are big speakers and I think the transaction from SHL5 may cheat you (from the size perspective).If you become used to the minimonitors, the HL40.1 may have a negative impact at you (providin... |
