| Best Class A amp with SLAM I will agree-the Pass Labs are more musical, but I don't think they're as quick as the Krells. I may seek out another set of the KMA series and have them re-built. When you open up the KMA amps, they're built like a tank. I think you could literal... | |
| Best Class A amp with SLAM Maybe I should have kept them and had them recapped. They were almost 25 years old and it was time for a change. As far as speakers go, I have Wilson Maxx II's and am amazed each and everytime I listen to them. As far as amps go, the Pass Labs are... | |
| Best Class A amp with SLAM I actually have the XA100.5's. They're really good, but seem to not have that slam the Krells had. Perhaps I'm remembering them better than they were. | |
| Isolation Platform for my Sota Cosmos? I had a serious vibration and acoustical problem, because my TT platform rested on a suspended floor (i.e.-not concrete, but joists) I tried mounting a platform on the wall, but still had problems. I finally suspended my table platform out from th... | |
| Rhea Signature vs. ARC PH-7 Concerning my comment about there not being any competent analog dealers in Nashville, if you're out there, please make your presence known. I should have said I know of none. | |
| Rhea Signature vs. ARC PH-7 Your comments are very interesting. Back in the day, I was told the cartridge WAS the most important component before the (what was then) receiver. If the cartridge is not top notch, how can it reproduce better sound? I mean the cart is where it a... | |
| Rhea Signature vs. ARC PH-7 Jmcgrogan2Thanks for taking the time to respond. I think there were 90 views, but you are the only one who took the time to answer. I'm relatively new to analog. I played albums back in the 70's and 80's, but defected to CD's around 1987. It took ... | |
| New Delos cart Thanks for your input. I had hoped after the break-in period, the sound would smooth out a little. I wish there was a way to expedite the break-in period, but I think it will just take time. It's not an offensive sound-just crisp. | |
| Lyra Skala Thanks for your responses. I just ordered my Delos along with a VPI Scoutmaster II with the JMW 9S arm. It's somewhere to start and it may be my last TT. Yeah-right. | |
| Proper Mass Of Tonearm for MC Cart Yes-you are correct. I kinda went off on a tangent. I was inquiring about tonearm mass, but thought I would ask for recommendations of a TT/Cart combo. I had always thought you find a TT you like and a cartridge you can afford. I was ignorant in k... | |
| Compatability of Koetsu Black Urishi with ARC PH-7 Thanks for your response. The 30 ohm figure was pulled off of the specs for the Urishi. I have spoken to several that said 100-200 ohms would be fine. | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? It took me a long time to "give-in" to going back to vinyl. I had to circumvent my acoustical feedback/rumble problem. I have a suspended floor and it took a while to figure that one out. Clearaudio's top of the line would be grand, but alas, I wi... | |
| Bose Accumass EQ Bose said the module wasn't available by itself through them, but I found one locally. I realize Bose makes most people cringe, but for my office, they're fine. I bought a Klipcsh SW 112 to go with them.I am speaker poor, but needed something real... | |
| CONUNDRUM I tried both GOLDENJACKS and ROTHWELL attentutors. Both do the job they have been assigned, however I did notice a slight difference in the clarity of the sound. Having spent money to achieve more clarity, this was obviously not a viable solution.... | |
| CONUNDRUM I think I may go with a Koetsu Urushi MC cart. Any comments? |
