| Audioquest upper end copper IC's sound ???? I've never tried Kimber Selects, but I've heard Diamondx2, Diamondx3, and Lapisx3 (all silver, and all discontinued) and I wouldn't call then grainy or "low resolution"(these, and the Anaconda mentioned above are silver cables)I have, currently, O... | |
| Dat to CDR? I am not a big dead-head, but I laughed my ass off at the reference to the "touch-of-grey heads." I know exactly what you mean.It's funny, it is a self-serving prophecy.Tapers as buttholes.I was at the House of Blues in North Myrtle Beach, SC tapi... | |
| Dat to CDR? heheTapers.the "digi-bias" is real.Analog patch??- uh, no.The reason I stopped dragging my mics around is that you can D/L something OR in 99% of the situations, know someone (trustafarians) with a rig 10x better than yours.Plus, it's hard to shak... | |
| Cartridge for Gyro SE/ Rega RB300 &Slee Gold Era V Being completely new to "real" analog playback, I cannot suggest that I've compared carts. Audiogon member Twl has teh cart/arm "matching" knowledge you seek, however many analog-friendly dealers would be able to suggest a good match to the widely... | |
| Cartridge for Gyro SE/ Rega RB300 &Slee Gold Era V I have a Michell Tecnodec, Rega Rb 250, and a Graham Slee Era Gold MK V, not exactly whay you're using, but similar, and I enjoy my CLearaudio Aurum Beta S wood body cart.The Virtuoso Wood is supposedly better, retails for $800, but is available h... | |
| good phono amp under 1000? Graham Slee Era Gold MKVit's pretty awesome for the $$...Manufacturer website: (see reviewer comments)http://www.gspaudio.co.uk/preamps/era-gold.htmLinks to reviews:http://www.elexatelier.com/EraGoldMkV.pdf(Stereophile Class A)http://www.tnt-audio... | |
| What about JA Michell tecnodec I have one and love it, although it's my first "real" table, so I am not much use for comparison.I love it!! | |
| Aurum Beta S, Wood version? I have one also.Only recently, in Clearaudio's Manufacturer's comments to the recent table/arm review (Emotion/Satisfy, I think) in S'phile, and somewhere else have I read that they are now making all MM carts available in metal or wood bodies.TO ... | |
| Setting up RB 300? If the cartridge was aligned by the dealer (I got an almost identical setup from Gene Rubin about a month ago) all you have to adjust is VTA, which can be done by ear/sight.I am by no means a vinyl expert, but if you bought from a dealer, and they... | |
| Audible Illusions L-2 vs. Cary SLP-98 I just remembered last night that bigdaddyaudiowill had some Spendors after reading a review in an old Listener.I can probably scare up an attorney... or 248.I hope it wasn't the CAL- I liked that thing...Did Dale let him shoehorn some Soundlabs i... | |
| Audible Illusions L-2 vs. Cary SLP-98 Phil!!Hey man, I didn't remember until just now who was behind the Bigtee moniker.I hope all is well in the lowcountry. | |
| Tonearm rewire- Options? I REALLY wish I could just afford to spend the extra loot on this arm. It reminds me of an OL arm, the armtube modification, teh lack of paint, the rewire...One thing that noone has addressed (I couldn't find an answer anyway) is the new Michell T... | |
| Audible Illusions L-2 vs. Cary SLP-98 I, too have seen 7308, 6dj8, 6922 tubes getting costly.The really primo ones are expensive, and tough (but not impossible) to get from reputable sources. I remember back when I was doing the Cary SLI-80/ Rogue Tempest shootout, I was having a toug... | |
| Feeling musically adventurous? Boards of Canada I ,too am a big fan of the BOC's Music album.I have a vinyl copy on the way right now.Although very different (within the same realm of "feeling" however) is Air. I can't get enough of those dudes.I saw them in ATL a few months ago, and it was awe... | |
