| advice for an old newbie Bob, very reasonable for the (v. good, IMO) sound. By European standards that is. There must be other options in the US, esp. used gear, others can propose.If you finally choose the Pro-ject, I think you'll enjoy it.Good luck! | |
| How can power cords make a difference? R-kiwi, to follow up. I too have experienced numerous occasions of third parties commenting on audible difference --so, what can I say? I am suggestible, granted. What about the other persons? Which brings me to the title question in this thread w... | |
| Speaker Help-B W,alon,AudioPhysic,Aerial I third the Virgo :-) It think it'll integrate easily into yr system and yr musical tasets, & benefit from future amp upgrades. However, don't miss a chance to give the Alons a listen... (don't know the 7Bs).Good luck! | |
| Multiple Copies Of LP s Same Title Khawk2 -- WHAT Heifetz? I'm drooling... Not Beethoven Violin Concerto / Brahms ditto -- mint??? Thanks! | |
| adcom 750gfp for aragon 8008bb ?? To add to sd's post above: I heard (note: not auditioned) the adcom750 partnered with adcom (as to which amp... I don't remember, sorry) driving A-Physic Virgos. To be less than specific: pleasant result, clarity. A friend told me recently that th... | |
| Biggest soundstage in a CD Player ? That's "..indicate your partnering equip...". Sorry! As further indication, I like the sound of the ML 39 --- but, I confess to hoping for a trade-in deal... the 39 is way too expensive for me. | |
| Biggest soundstage in a CD Player ? Topkat, is the SA-1 tweakable (if applicable)? Could you indicate partnering your equip -- I'm assuming you have a SA-1?. I'm currently considering a "reasonably" priced CDP to replace my, not so reasonably priced, S-Line.Thanks. | |
| Multiple Copies Of LP s Same Title That's the spirit, David! Often two copies in my case -- but can do better. Recently discovered I have 4 copies pf Haendel's Messiah. Same performance, different issues.Things get worse with multiple performances (& copies) of the same piece..... | |
| synergistic des. ref vs nordost Valhalla Adsal says it all. Valhalla (IC & speaker) sounded good on my system -- but only slightly bettered the residing and modest bearlabs (again, full system) on the hi register.But then, again, their qualities should be much more apparent in your s... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? Thanks, Detlof. No wonder I thought my system sounded OK. I'll go easy on the lithium. | |
| Rega or Musical Fidelity ? Limited exposure, for what it's worth. I was more impressed by the Rotel, on rock & blues. Caveat: I am better at rating on classical...(which was not on the agenda). Also, pls note that I did NOT listen to these players side-by-side. The syst... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? Kubla, Detlof -- a daily dose of lithium for all of us??? Together we could get a group discount. Detlof, what's the actual mix you use (50/50%?). And how do you "treat" the surface? Thanks!Cheers to all inmates! | |
| Men/Women/Audiophiles Love it, Plasma! Even got the W in a good mood. (Maybe she'll authorise the next upgrade, finally.) Where on earth did you find this?Give us more... | |
| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century Kubla, Dekay, remember "Nighthawks @ the diner, Emma's 49er, a RdV of strangers..."?T. Waits when I was still young(er)...Cheers! | |
| Haydn Joseph Franz Hi, Petrty11. The following suggestions are for the performance -- but the recordings are mostly good enough. There is a complete Trios recording by Philips (9 CDs) with the Beaux-Arts Trio. IMO, better performances of certain trios are:Trios 22-2... |
