| Michell Tonearm Decoupling Kit- Anyone? RR,I put a reply on your other post. Have you ever tried not using the clamp? When I first bought my Orbe I did a with/without trial and found the clamp superior. Years later, I began experimenting with platter mats and found that a mat was superi... | |
| Benz Ebony LP loading I was using a fixed loading of 470 ohms. Both my Ruby2 and LP were at this. My room is very HF unfriendly and I can't get rid of the over strident HF no matter what I do. I tried a few different phonostages and always seemed to prefer 200-300 ohms... | |
| Michell Gyro SE upgrade to Orbe clamp? I have an Orbe and always used the clamp but recently went back and compared w/o clamp. I was astounded by the sound w/o clamp. The sound stage really opened with more space/air between instruments. It was not a subtle difference. I also went back... | |
| Will SME 90 DIN work with Graham 2? I've listened to it twice. I loved the HF but the bass lacked definition and it lacked spatial definiton and clarity. Now, how broken in it was I don't know. The 2nd one was brand new and had a problem but it sounded totally different than the fir... | |
| Is there a 3g. anti-skate weight for Graham arms? I understand the point of the above msg's. My main objective was to find out if anyone else using a Graham 2 and Wally's tools had a similar conversation with Wally. My conversation wit Wally was >/= 2 years ago and at that time it made sense w... | |
| Is Wally tool preffered for Graham 2.2? I have to jump in here despite the fact that I know what will probably transpire. My experiences are based on my own "karma" which is notoriusly plagued with, "Wow, I never saw that before", comments from others. I have both the Graham and Wally p... | |
| Graham IC-50 -vs-IC-70 "shotgun" I have heard the IC-70 but not an IC-50. I liked the IC-70 for waht it didon the top end, as well as it was a warmer cable than the Harmonic Tech. Silver I have. But where the IC-70 failed was low end transpareny, ie., listening to symphonic music... | |
| Cary phono preamp - any experience? I am considering the Cary Ph302, if I can audition one, but I am a bit concerned about the fixed 100 ohm MC resistance value. Has anyone opened the top and seen where these resistors exist? How tough would it be to sawp different resistors?Roastaman | |
| CDR & LP Recording:Tascam CDR-750 or Sony CDR-W66? Jayboard,So it is possible then to play an LP and have each LP track automatically indexed by the Tascam? I saw posts where it all had to be done manually unless each LP side was to be a single indexed track. | |
| Phono Stage to replace Sonic Frontiers Phono 1 I've heard the Phono1 and thought the exact opposite as "highs" go. I was hearing a a Benz Lo4 and and Aries. I found it really smooth and warm, the same went for hearing it with a totally differnt deck/arm/cart. In fact I have been trying to matc... | |
| Miles Davis Prestige Box Set-How God Is It? Thanks for all the info. I decided to go for the AP Prestige Set since I had been trying for a while to get one and cannot risk another missed opportunity. I will keep my digits crossed. I have a chance for a lower numbered set, so here it goes!! | |
| NAIM Alternatives-from people who have switched. Thanks to all who responded. I have been hearing alot of good things regarding Blue Circle gear. I have no dealer in my area who carries it so I would have to take a chance.Thanks. | |
| For All You CCR Fans Kinsekd,Thanks for the reply, even if it goes against my claims. But I still stand by my ears. Here is why.Green River 180g:1. The vocal of Fogerty is really buried to the rear of the ss. It's very grainy sounding, almost raspy. The earlier versio... | |

| For All You CCR Fans I totally disagree with the above asessment regarding the new 180 g releases. From the first song on "Revival" I felt something was wrong. I have not listened to my old copies in a while but I know a poor mix/production when I hear one. Wow, what ... |
