| krell Ksa-50s and SF electa amator I, I listened to EA II driven by Krell 100, YBA Passion, and Symphonic Line RG7 -- but not your KSA 50s. Pre and source were YBA. Cabling was ART and bearlabs. To my ears, the YBA gave the most (musically) involving results -- it made the amators "co... | |
| Help out a Young Audiophile your wish to make your resume "stand out" by applying off the beaten track (i.e. e-cruiters, recruiters, and/or directly), I was also surprised at your post... Also am not clear as to what exactly (position) tickles your fancy in the communication... | |
| krell Ksa-50s and SF electa amator I, Hi, Alberto. Incidentally, a friend is solliciting amplification opinion for his EA II. Is your thread a question, or a suggestion?Cheers. | |
| rega p3/ ittok Hi, Chrisher. A: ditto, above. B: I *did* happen to hear a R3 / Ittok / Archiv, some years ago. I do not remember being impressed by the sound -- far from it... BUT, again, maybe the arm was incorrectly mounted as per Caterham's point. I suppose y... | |

| Your Analog Front End Zarathustra S4 /Pluto 6A prestige arm (rewired) / Clearaudio Discovery "special". Have had it for 12 yrs (the cartridge is new, ofcourse). I took a long trip getting there, with a succession of TTs. Thorens 160, Rega, Linn/Ittok (Valhala - no cirk... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? A $ (or euro) 0,02 "burned" vs. raw cable, blind testing experiment. Unanimously, "burned in" cables sounded better overall: slightly more musical (I use the word as proposed in the posts following Detlof's thread on the subject), also, thicker ba... | |
| To tone control or not to tone control Artemus, Bob, referring to Bruce's suggestion & your results. I have an old Cambridge pre with tone controls. I'll try it out and get back to you if anything musically worthwile... emerges...Yours, (in further negative votes)! | |
| Martin Logan Accent vrs SL3s Well.. "The Wall" is not exactly what I would label "orchestral".Sorry. | |
| Martin Logan Accent vrs SL3s Hi, Lev. One of the two, the SL3 I beleive, is more difficult to drive. I happened to audition the two comparatively at a dealer's -- pls note, not at home. I listened to orchestral music ("Thus Spake Zarathustra", audiophile recording, what else/... | |
| Transforming a UK Rega into a US Rega Hi. Yr rega probably runs @230V / 50 Hz, as per Euro standards. You may be able to get an inexpensive power transformer (110/60 --> 230/50). I have used such an item, the other way round (I live in Europe). This must be frustrating for U -- if ... | |

| Separate Components Hi Johnny, I second the proposed combos above *AND* chas' & Lev's quest for more info... we're a bit in the dark (no pun intended).Cheers! | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Wehamilton, your reference to people not wanting reality and Detlof's reference to Europe reminded me of a worrying issue IMHO: young people NOT even KNOWING what reality looks, sounds, or tastes like. In my six year-old daughter's class (in Europ... | |
| Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords Thank you for your kind support, guys. Dekay, Kevin & others, your opinion on these cables would be most welcome. My only excuse for exploiting (let's face it) yr finances is this: I also thought of trying one out, but the shipping cost to Eur... |
