| Best high-efficiency speaker under 10K You better look for the real thing. Real HE no plastic cones.There is a certain minimum point of sensitivity to deliver the nuance & dynamics and it is far beyond the 92dB.Just for inspiration:DIY copy of Shindo Altec 604Lowther America BIG OP... | |
| turntable recommendations for a vinyl newbie... When you are used to the CDP convenients it's my estimation that you better find a fit & forget set-up.Take a look for a Denon DP80/Reed Q3(12")/Vdh CONDOR if you reconsider the total expense. Other than an added slate plinth & some footer... | |
| upgrade path OK! I always prefer to advise moneywise.Think of a Denon DP80 with SME 312S or Technics SP10Mk2 with a Jelco SA 750 LB 12". Audio Technica AT 150 MLX is always a great company. Or you can go for the Dyna DV17D3 with Dynavector P-75 mkII Phono Pre ... | |
| turntable recommendations for a vinyl newbie... There is a crazy sale now for a Denon DP72L = $399 !!!!!!Dynavector P-75 mkII Phono Pre Amp = $450Dynavector Karat 17D2 = $300 | |
| upgrade path You have to do some search and then decide for the right mods. I mean real upgrades (bearing, electronics, plinth) and then look for a copper mat, a peripheral ring & stabiliser.Are you shure that you can mount the SME 309 on this armboard?You... | |
| Stand out phono stages Hellow my friends,I want you to investigate "THE GRAIL" by Van Den Hul.For me it breaks a new ground over the most well known & successful units.I've never had the pleasure to audition the Alaap or the Tron, Walker, Boulder & Connoisseur D... | |
| zyx Airy R-1000 cosmos - vs Benz LP S ? Hi Pjwd,Is the retiping a possible option ?I've never compare them in the same set-up, but I'm wondering:Have you ever heard the LP in your set-up?There is not a compatibility mismatch with your Triplanar, but I can't imagine how come to like BOTH... | |
| Moving on after van den hul Hi KoegzYour turntable has receive it's most legendary reviews with some Clearaudios. I cannot think of a safer recommendation.It seems that your own personal taste does not favour to the (neutral) side of Lyra (once you've got the PC-1, the Goldf... | |
| Should I upgrade my turntable? YES definitelly a used SL-1200MkII (not from a Dj)!Maybe it's better to hold on for it, even if you have to spend $500. You will never regret it. All of it's competitors are pricier & weaker. UNLESS.....you want to try a LENCO L78 (that fits y... | |
| Rowland Concerto phono vs Cadence The Cadence's performance was in the lowest level class in it's date about ten years back. I know three guys that compare it with the DACT (much cheaper) and after that, they sold it without a second thought. (I was one of them).If you think for a... | |
| Phono cartridge for classic rock I definitely agree with Vinyladdict.But do you ever wonder if this picking behaviour arise from your ECP1 phono and ECI3 integrated ? Jmcgrogan2 has give you a good point of today's Hi-Fi logic.The success for a system is to uplevel the average re... | |
| Koetsu compliance compatibility issues Hi Lewm, "forget the formula but to try in a general way to match a low compliance cartridge with a medium to high mass tonearm, etc, etc."well said. I definitely agree.I suggest a 12" arm that helps trackability & makes a good match with heav... | |
| Moving on after van den hul Homosapien :Matches with less than 8gr & high compliance cartridges. If you plan to buy a new one & allready have your Triplanar, I suggest you to prefer a customised "Condor" otherwise a second hand Colibri is a superb value but the risk ... | |
| Little bit "forward" sound - what cables to avoid? Avoid Transparent, Tara Labs, Nordost, Siltech.Look for 1): VDH The Third 2): CARDAS Golden Ref (& above)If you still have Proacs, look no further!!!George | |
| Moving on after van den hul Unfortunatelly your Triplanar does not match with the Goldfinger.I live with VDH's over 16 years from Grasshopper III M SILVER to Symphonic Line RG6 GOLD to Insider & back to GLA IV to Black Beauty to first generation 3.5gr Colibri COPPER to X... |
