| Has anyone compared the Heresy to new KLH model 5? I bought the Model 5s back in January. I have them driven by a McIntosh MA8900. Reason I chose them at first was due to them being a sealed enclosure. It reckons back to the days of my youth, 1976, when I owned speakers with similar attributes. Mo... | |
| If you want the utmost clarity from your CDs I bought this disc several years ago. It does work but not on all CDs it seems. I did a blind test with my son-in-law with a certain Red Hot Chili Peppers cd and he, and I, could hear a difference in tightness of bass and clarity of sound-stage. ... | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 I have neither transport but had considered both models plus the PS Audio model (which is 6.5K!). In the end could not justify the cost. I did purchase the Audiolab CDT6000 to connect to an internal DAC on my pre-amp. It substituted for my Marant... | |
| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1 Would you think that a McIntosh MA8900 is a good fit/ or too much for the Carrera BE speakers? I have a set of large towers running off of a separate MC312 and I'm considering a pair of book shelf stand mounts for a smaller room off of the main li... | |
| Do you have ways to ease use of vinyl? I have a VPI Prime TT on a rack at chest ht. I also use a VPI outer ring to couple the record to the platter. I installed a TRU-lift to raise the arm but I attached a small strip of the soft side of a velcro on the top of the lifter that contacts ... | |
| Is a separate phono preamp worthwhile? I wanted to update yinz on my initial thread. I purchased an 'open box' Sutherland Insight w/LPS that was in my budget and I'm amazed at the difference already.It sounds like I've changed my speakers or front end. It's that feeling many of you... | |

| Keith Jarrett on the importance of audio sound quality +1 on quality of KJ ECM recordings. Top notch. Wonderful talent. | |
| Footers under my speakers double the perceived value of my speakers! I replaced the standard spikes on my towers with a set of Gaia isolation. Measuring the spikes vs. the Gaia, elevation was less than 1/4 inch. Improvement was remarkable. +1 for Gaia. | |
| Do you guys like Adele's music? Not so much. I do like me some Joni Mitchell tho. Cheers. | |
| If you could bring back one great artist that has Tommy Bolin +1. | |
| speaker/stand, couple or isolate? @avanti1960 Thanks and my apologies. Currently my speakers are on a ceramic tile floor that's on an underlying concrete basement floor. Cheers. | |
| 1973 1973. 15 yrs old. Very similar to millercarbon post. Loved FZ and Spirit - still do. My dad never got it, but loved vinyl ever since.Lava lamps? Still got em. Good old Goodwill. Cheers. | |
| Anyone use auto lifters? Opinions Greetings. I too have used the Q-up with good results. The product works as advertised. I have since installed the more visually appealing Tru-Lift, which can be finicky, depending on the run out of the record, but lifts 98% of the time.There i... | |
| speaker/stand, couple or isolate? Good day. I removed the spikes from my 90lb. towers and installed the Gaia ll. I was very pleased with the results. The particular song that struck me first was the "Doors LA Woman". There was a spacial quality that had not been there before. Che... |
