| TRELJA in New York, 2002 Forgot to mention my most fun at the Show award - Gilbert Yeung of Blue Circle, with his preamp purse and 25w monoblocks in a pair of pumps. Great guy (says he's 33 but looks 18 - perhaps perspective, I'm pushing 60) and nice sound from Kirksaeter... | |
| TRELJA in New York, 2002 While trying not to be redundant with what's already been written, have to comment on Legend/Von Gaylord Audio . Was simply drawn into the room by the sound of a gorgeous female vocal - pure seduction. Returned 3-4 times hoping to try a couple of ... | |
| Just got my new Teres turntable today. BryanP, I have a Koetsu step-up transformer and a Cotter MkII Type L which I'm not currently using. If you want to borrow either or both to try with your Rosewood drop me an email. | |
| Maple/light wood racks You might want to check out the Bello AVSC-2102, http://www.bello.com/default1.htm. Mine has worked out quite well. | |
| Cartridge for Rega Planar 3 / RB300 Lazarus28, you're right, I goofed. You clearly referred to the 10x4 which I somehow "read" as the 17D2 MkII. I've not heard the 10x4, so forget what I wrote above - my apologies. | |
| Cartridge for Rega Planar 3 / RB300 Lazarus28's right, the Dynavector is a terrific cartridge. You might also want to consider the Lyra Lydian Beta, the less expensive brother of the famous Helikon. The Lydian is a little sweeter (IMHO) but lists for $1100 compared to $750 for the 1... | |
| Center speaker for Audio Physic Virgo 3? Royy, you might want to call or write to Sedrick Harris, the rep for Immedia which distributes the Audio Physic line in the US. An exceptionally pleasant and helpful gentleman, he also writes for enjoythemusic.com. I think he'd give you the straig... | |
| Cables "Burn In" Have to side with Sean on this one. After tiring of hearing that I had to run cables for 50-100-500 hours to hear their "true potential", I picked up a Audiodharma Pro Cooker. It definitely makes a difference on ICs (2-3 days) and speaker cables (... | |
| Optimal Speaker Placement The speaker maker Audio Physic has an approach you may find useful:http://216.239.35.120/translate_c?hl=en&u=http://www.audiophysic.de/produkte/aufstellung/aufstellung_e2.html&prev=/search%3Fq%3DAudio%2BPhysic%2BLoudspeakers%26hl%3Den%26sa... | |
| want to upgrade music performance in HT syst. If you have a friend with a quality DAC who will lend it to you for a test, or a dealer who will lend you one, try it using your dvd as the transport. While you haven't yet described exactly what disappoints you, using the dvd's dac(s) is an obvio... | |
| Any one old enough to remember? The Mayware Formula 4 and Sonus Blue made a great combo, I still have mine boxed away as well. Like a number of other contributers I would have to believe that the cartridge is a bit suspect now, but let your ears be the judge. This arm restricts ... | |
| Have CD Recorders changed your listening habits? Hey Garfish, another retired old coot calling - have you tried your new toy in making a cd from vinyl, like we did with tape in the old days? If so how did it do?Also, does the CDR500 allow you to record from your cdp, bypassing its internal dac?Doug | |
| Can we use TUBE PREAMP with SS AMP ? Jelloistarca, I'm puzzled by your warning to only use a balanced interconnect between a tube preamp and SS amp. Could you expand on this a bit? What would you do if the pre and amp don't support balanced? | |
| looking on preamp to match otl amp. You might consider a Joule pre, since all of Jud's amps are OTL but one I believe, presumably they marry well. | |
| Aragon Soundstage...worth the extra ? I've always felt that the Soundstage was a very under-rated unit. The analog pass through is a big plus for 2-channel music. Since the model is no longer being produced, I would check with Aragon to verify the extent to which it can be upgraded, i... |
