| Searching for Simon Yorke S7 turntable Why not mail Simon Yorke (www.recordplayer.com). If you're really desperate :), I could ask around (no, I'm not selling my TT!). Feel free to mail me directly if you wish. Cheers | |
| Preamp Power Supplies Inboard/Outboard Another reason for an outboard PS is, simply, that trannys & other parts don't fit in the main chassis. It's the case with mine...I assume care is taken to avoid interference in single chassis -- how, maybe Sean et aliae could say | |
| OTL amplifiers Detlof, I'm going all nostalgic! I still have a pair of Mark Lev IC's.Great stuff... Futtermans driving Quad 63's (no protection circuit, of course), blowing up on me on a Saturday AFTERNOON... There was lots of suspense then with the F's: are the... | |
| NEW MUSIC Cher Agonanon...Staggering. My (poor) contribution: Segerstam and Taverner, the latter of courtse offering new approaches to old music (byzantine).Interesting nonetheless, ditto Seger, especially the latest pieces. | |
| Green Mountain1.5si vs AP's Virgo II: Pros/Cons? I know the Virgo but NOT the GMA...:) Hopefully, someone has scored on both.As always, feel free to email. Cheers | |
| Audio articles of interest How about the Anstendig Institute for some interesting thoughts on music reproduction, mono, stereo, and the like... | |
| Of which rituals is YOUR vinyl/music a part? I'd copied Viridian's beautiful phrase on "musicians haunting(ing the)... living room..." -- but it doesn't appear in my post?!? That's what the "very true" refers to... sorry if part of my post didn't make sense.Worthy Agonanon: "...cathartic hub... | |
| Of which rituals is YOUR vinyl/music a part? >Very true. Listening to classical recordings, I get nostalgia for a bygone era (a shrink would say I'm avoiding reality:)).Vinyl for me is a strictly "listening to music" affair -- as if I were at a concert. All the paraphernalia (cleaners, du... | |
| NYAL booklet- Any value So maybe I can bum a copy out of one you guys too? I just caught on to this! I still enjoy and use Craig's "invaluable and complete guide to internet resources on tubes" (and not limited to tubes)... | |
| Anyone heard/compared these carts? Hi Cmk -- No, I can't bring myself to say the Koetsu is "coloured" because it is very "magically musical" as extremephono put it... So, is it musical truth?? I don't know, but I can sit back & enjoy myself listening to a big Koetsu w/out bothe... | |
| Loudspeaker DIY Kits any suggestions??? Steved -- are you multiamping the Orions? I'm interested in tackling these or the Phoenix -- but would probably opt for bi-amping only (i.e. main panel passive/bass). | |
| Anyone heard/compared these carts? Urushi had more detail -- extension if you will. Rosewood sig was more "romantic" (possibly attributable to more pronounced mids?)Unfortunately I don't know your Dynavector to compare. Cheers | |
| SACD - what gives? Unclejeff: redbook is the conventional audio cd, so named because of the colour of the Philips booklet containing them.Cheers, Detlof! | |
| Sonus Faber Amati with ARC Reference 600 Mk II Have found that apparent overkill is necessary if you're using SS. Less overkill is required if you're using tube -- BUT it's advisable to use a detailed, dynamic (fast) tube OR ss. If you already have the 600's well, why downgrade?If you don't, t... | |
| SACD - what gives? Maybe many of us had our hopes up too high, looking for immediate gratification thru sacd... No-one however condemns this format outright. Rather methinks the discussion puts forth a number of issues directly related to our enjoyment of MUSIC thru... |
