| amp for thiel cs1.6?? When I had the Thiel 2.2s, I had hooked them up to a Forte 6 (the 200wpc version of the 4A), Krell KST-100, and Pass Aleph Os. The Aleph Os (60 watt class A) had the best midrange, and overall warmth that made them a great combo. I've since upgrad... | |
| Benz Ruby 2 v.s. Shelter 901 Thanks for a wealth of information, Twl. And thanks for pointing me to a source with more information, Aisip. I will do some search to get more "educated" about this subject matter! :-)FrankC | |
| Benz Ruby 2 v.s. Shelter 901 Twl,Could you explain more about some of the terms you used, like compliance? What's considered low compliance? What's the importance of that? What are some examples of medium mass arms, high mass arms, unipivot arms, gimbal bearing arms, etc.Than... | |
| The truth about interconnects - can you handle it? My high school physics teacher once told us that tire width makes no difference in traction too. Righhhhht, that's why all pro race cars are running on bicycle tires. ;-)People also saw apples fell from trees but didn't know why until Sir Newton c... | |
| TT for OL Silver/ Shelter 501 Nameci,Thanks for the recommendation on the tubes. I went through this exercise last year with my preamp (ARC LS2B MkII) trying over 15 different tubes. I just got tired so haven't done that with the PH3 yet. I took out the Sovteks and just plugge... | |
| Where can I hear Teres One of my friend in San Jose is hosting a listening party this Sunday at his place. One of the developer of Teres TT now owns a company called Redpoint or something like that. Anyways, the guy is brining two Teres TT over this Sunday to my friends... | |
| TT for OL Silver/ Shelter 501 How about Michell Gyro SE? Cool looking, great performer, and excellent match for the OL arm and Shelter 501. Of course this also depends on what phonostage you use.A fellow local audiophile will be having the proprietor of Redpoint/Teres over at ... | |
| AR PH3-SE with Benz Micro Ruby 2 I think Ruby H would have been a better match in terms of output. I went from Benz M2 (0.8mV) to Shelter 901 (0.5mV) and I've noticed that I would need to turn up the volume a lot higher, and the trade off is the not so quiet background hiss that ... | |
| Audio Research LS-22: Best Tubes for this preamp? I collected all the tubes I'll ever need two/three years ago on eBay, online dealers, local electronic surplus stores, etc. I even bought an used military TV-7DU tube tester and had it recalibrated.As the supply is depleting, you will have to pay ... | |
| Audio Research LS-22: Best Tubes for this preamp? Have you read this in-depth review of 6DJ8/6922/7308 tubes in Audio Asylum's FAQ section: http://www.audioasylum.com/scripts/d.pl?audio/faq/joes-tubes.htmlWell it doesn't answer your question directly, but will give you a broad overview of each tu... | |
| Shelter 901 vs. Dynavector XX-2 or TE Kaitora I bought mine directly from Japan. You can contact Mr. Akio Hashimoto of Japan Audio Trading Company (akio-jat@galaxy.ocn.ne.jp) and he will get you a very decent price, and it will arrive via airmail in 2 to 3 business days!FrankC | |
| Shelter 901 vs. Dynavector XX-2 or TE Kaitora Arcmania,I currently have the Orbe SE/SME V/Benz M2 setup with ARC PH3 SE. I had purchased the Shelter 901 a month ago. (Just haven't had time to change the carts) I had heard it at a friend's place and felt that it was a definite improvement over... | |
| Most Architectural Turntable/Best Looking? I am an trained Architect, so I know what I'm talking about ;-) (Ha! Ha! The truth is that I'm biased because I own one of these babies!) But the Orbe SE does look pretty cool with my industrial (more specifically, modern deconstructionism, for yo... | |
| OK.......I need more info on the Shelter 901...... Thanks for the info! The box has been sitting there for over three weeks. I just haven't got the time to switch the cartridges. At this rate, I think I might not get to it until Thanksgiving week when I plan to take that week off.Frank | |
| OK.......I need more info on the Shelter 901...... It's already Friday, and I haven't even had time to turn the sytem on to warm it up. I will be out of town this weekend. So, hopefully I will have time Monday.... |
