| German "plug and play" turntable The nano is a very basic phono. It works well in a budget TT set-up. It is better than you'd expect for the price -- but no better than that.So with the Clearaudio MC, I expect the nano will be the limiting factor.The Basic+ is a full scale phono ... | |
| Tannoy Westminister VS dc10 Instrument Grande V the Tannoy is about perfect looks wise I'm only worried that they will have that "quacky" one driver soundWhile I cannot read into your individual sonic preferences, I think I understand what you're afraid of and can confirm the Wests sound nothin... | |
| What kind of power cord comes with expensive gear Back to original question what kind of power cords come with expensive gearWell, FM Acoustics (their entry level amps start at $~20k!) come with hard-wired cords.So, no aftermarket cord can be used -- FMA recommends to just listen to the music &am... | |
| "When Records Ruled The World"...BBC Documentary Great film, moving even!Thanks for pointing it out! | |
| Accuphase E-460 or Bryston BP26 / 4Bsst2 Is anybody familiar with new Accuphase E-460I am. To state the obvious, the 460 is a luxury package that comes at a commensurate price and goes a long way towards justifying that price... in looks, sound & construction quality.Generally speaki... | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. Bvdiman: "During those toying days, I've always kept my old (then new) FMA611 SS as standby" That's a FM Acoustics you;re referring to? If so, it's a needle in a haystack sort of coincidence!A 611 drove the aforementioned Tannoy Canterbury better ... | |
| Spectron Musician III MK.2 or Audio Research DS450 Audiozen -- do you sell or market the AR amps? (Your post reads like ad copy...).OTOH, I agree that the AR amps sound good. They area tad expensive though... | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. How does everyone feel about the something like the KR kronzilla or something like that??I actually listened to Canterburies driven by this amp, and the result was nice. Also listened to AN driving the same pair -- very nice but the Kron gave a "f... | |
| New speakers. Tomcy6, you are right to point that out. I had limited myself to the class A operation. | |
| Vintage Marantz SM7/SC7 advice $ 1.5k for the amp-pre combo looks good on paper! | |
| New speakers. James -- the thread is not at all obvious! Sorry about that.I'm referring to a post by David212 around the middle & mine a bit further down.With all due respect to Tomcy6, I wouldn't suggest you opt for 89dB/1m/2W spkrs with your amps. They wo... | |
| New speakers. Unlike your dealer, I am not aware that speakers have moved at all in the past decade...I propose you go for high sensitivity speakers, more sensitive than your Zingalis. The reason your spkrs are hard at high volumes is probably because the amps ... | |
| Optimal length for digital cables: 1m or 1.5m? if a very short length is practical for a digital cable, such as 6 to 8 inches or so, that would often be a good choice.That's interesting info!Thanks | |
| Marten Design Coltrane vs Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy Just to clarify I am not a horn guy.This seriously limits your choice of spkrs. Adding on to Team212's list & David's AN recommend'n: Zu Klipsch (Horn / Scala)JBL (vintage)OTOH, I am not sure about the AN driving Tannoy Canterbury. I listened ... | |
| Considering Beveridge, your opinion please. As you seem to be sold on electrostats (mid-range purity & sense of speed...), I assume you have the amplification for them & are aware of their shortcomings.The short story:So...if you are ready to sink 2.5 grand into an electrostatic exp... |
