| Which speakers... B&W 802D or Vandersteen 5A's? Both are too big for that 12ft room dimension unfortunately. | |
| Best preamplifier, amplifier for B&W 800 Diamond B&W + Krell used to be an excellent match (with the FPB series of Krell).There isn't much to find on the internet about their newer amps, but if I was the one installing a pair of 800 Diamonds, I would want to hear a full Krell Evolution syste... | |
| Why no reviews of the Magnepan 3.7 in Stereophile What is better marketing - a good subjective review with a couple of questionable artifacts in measurements, or no review at all? | |
| Reference 3A Grand Veena Can you borrow a couple amps from a local dealer to try out? | |
| Dynaudio c-2 ...amp advice Mcintosh or simaudio Some of the best sound I've ever heard has been Sim on Dyns. Definitely not a combo to write off based on other people's experiences.Highly recommended IMO - open, airy, excellent sound | |
| Gallo 3.5 vs Merlin VSM-MXe Is the OP's room 12x12? If this is the case, that's too small for either the Merlin floorstanders or the Gallos. Not to mention identical dimensions that will cause havok in your end result...The TSM or the Gallo Strada with a small sub would be f... | |
| Almost Time to Replace My DV-20xl "I guess question to you, GW, is, why didn't you just change arms? I had a VPI at one time, but not their arm."I did, actually. I switched from a Scoutmaster JMW9sig to a Michell Orbe w/ Tecnoarm, though I still run the AT33PTG which is a hell of ... | |
| Almost Time to Replace My DV-20xl Both of you are right - - I had the jmw9sig and experienced poor tracking from a variety of cartridges. After countless setups (various dealers, myself w/ Mint tractor and VPI themselves) I finally learned that if after a couple of setup attempts... | |
| Gallo 3.5 vs Merlin VSM-MXe With regards to the original topic, I've owned Merlin VSM-MXe (bought used) and currently own Gallo 3.1 (bought new).Which do I prefer? It's hard to say, they have different strengths and weaknesses, but in my experience they are both truly excell... | |
| SME 309 and SOTA Sapphire - Cable & Cartridge Help Dhcod - are you talking about the internal wiring of the arm, or the external cable, or both? | |
| opinions on favorite cartridge Manitunic, The PS Audio is a good contender at its $1000 price, and has quite a bit of flexibility with its options, but there are much better sounding phono stages out there.I owned the GCPH and borrowed a ASR Mini Basis Exclusive to compare with... | |
| Michell Tecnoarm He got back to me already - $149 for the Cardas internal wire sounds pretty reasonable to me. It's quite a bit more to go to the full Incognito kit.I wonder if there would be an issue with doing the cardas internal copper wire hooking up to the st... | |
| Michell Tecnoarm I just sent an inquiry to Britaudio - We'll see what he comes back with | |
| Michell Tecnoarm I have the tecnoarm. I don't find it bright or glaring - but I do have a major problem with the cartridge lead terminations. All 4 of them have started fraying on me - and 2 of them have snapped. I'm going to get it professionally rewired with the... | |
| opinions on favorite cartridge So just to get this straight - you are asking for people to tell you which cartridge people like best from the list of cartridges you own. There are two major flaws with this question - * Listener preference and bias will vary wildly and may or ma... |
