| Audio Research vs Burmester Audio Toffen -- while I cannot advise about the AR phono vs a Burmester phono. For the pre & amp combos (ref3 + 600 vs 011/808 + 909): the AR, which I like, is no match for the Burmester.OTOH, the Burmester is also more expensive (I think). | |
| Lexicon RT-20 ... Interesting lack of information T:For $900+,it is a solid performer with very good CD sound and the same on DVDsMy opinion too. HOWEVER, you will be buying another player in ¬2yrs time cause, no b-ray. | |
| Looking for power amp with warm, smooth sound I can't see spending more than 10% or $200 for all cables. Can you suggest some good ones that will give warmth and tame the brightness in that price range?My recommendation is to acquire the system & then check out usedcables dot com OR theca... | |
| Lexicon RT-20 ... Interesting lack of information Lack of info is indifferent. Many products aren't covered. Look here for the usual boring review of the Lexicon.You are being sarcastic suggesting that there is little info about this product because it ain't worth writing about; fact supported by... | |
| Required Tools for TT Setup & Maintenance Take a quick tour here. Then,As above, simplifying Swampwalker, the absolute minimum required is: A protractor indicating the two "nul points" and overhang (you can print this;Stroboscope (you can print that);Small precision screwdriver;VTF gauge ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul: sharing my experience with you I can tell that mine are a little different on the subject because I don't experienced yet ( or at least I don't mind/conscient about)Hmmm, interesting! I checked this out with two arms & a Shure and... may... | |
| Micromega T-Drive Transport, anybody got one? Dear J-k, while you are pondering the question, I recommend you purchase a mid-of-the-range used (not abused) TEAC cdp to use as transport. Their transport mechanisms are good and the mechanical integrity is first class. The sound is more extended... | |
| Freak Me Out Knappertsgebuesch: does your moniker relate to Knappertsbusch, the Maestro? | |
| Symphonic Line RG1 MK4 Vs Plinius SA-102 I like both Plinius & S-L -- but definitely prefer the RG-7 & the bigger Plinius to the ones you are considering (which doesn't mean your choices are bad). I too can't see the S-L as being "bright"... if anything, the opposite.Anyway, it's... | |
| Why Not Bring Back Analog, Reel to Reel Tape When you look at the various tape formats vs. LP, and balance sound quality against efficiency of manufacture, the LP stands alone. It's easily the best sounding analog source that can be reproduced in about a minuteIndeed, by far. And it's also v... | |
| Best preamp for atma sphere m60 under $3000 used? Another option with sonic similarity is the CAT preamp. There are a few used ones for sales on A'gon $¬2k | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Larryi most MM cartridges ...tend to be a bit more opaque and dull sounding than MC cartridgesThis phrase EXACTLY reproduces my experience until early this year.Today I find that in most cases, the sound as described can be ascribed to the "unhapp... | |
| Is it ok for tube amp directly to the outlet? I think it is better to plug directly in all occasions except one.You will get some little (or more) grunge but you will also gain dynamics and what's usually termed "ease of drive". Try it. | |
| Wilson Watt Puppy 6 or Sophia 2 ? If you want "better"... well, I think the Sophia 2 is better than the W-W 6.HOWEVER, IMO, neither of the above is demonstrably better than your Revels. You might gain some mid-bass boost with the Sophia, but you'll lose some more phase integrity..... | |
| A Perennial Debate For Which I Seek Help Nycwine1 -- to return to your question, yes -- if the terminations are iffy, it will affect the sound.SO, do solder solidly those driver terminations. If you wish to change the internal wire, try single core, thicker for the woofer than the tweet;... |
