| Single driver speakers without the pitfalls? Oops. A set of triple klh nines and Marantz 9's completely blew my mind earlier this year. Made me want to start over. Within a week I was happy with the OB's again. It's so true, each method has its pluses and minuses but if your a single driver... | |
| Single driver speakers without the pitfalls? Open baffle fr (visa ton b200 imo) with 15" Hawthorne Augie... You run the visaton or fostex, lowther etc full range and connect a plate amp with pages and xover to the Augie. Game over. I just came from listening to a $200,000 pair of SOTA speake... | |
| Soundsmith dl103r vs. Dynavector 17d3 ruby ? I've become enamoured with the Panasonic strain gauge cartridge with A custom built gain stage.. It just 'works' with my current system. I can't see anything in my price parameters coming close to matching it. I've been rediscovering my vinyl coll... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Finally found a spinner that beats the lenco!!A studer 1/4" 2 track with master tape copies!Of course, I can't find 15ips tapes in the dollar bin! | |
| Soundsmith dl103r vs. Dynavector 17d3 ruby ? Panasonic strain gauge .... Game over. It's a keeper. | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II My Biggest upgrade yet: the Panasonic Strain Gauge cartridge with a custom made gain stage. It's a new world. The studer doesn't spin nearly as much tape as it used to. I'm trying to find a new reengineered idler wheel and bearing. I'd like to sta... | |
| Kind Of Blue 1st pressing stereo... Well, I sold the record to a local lawyer for $250. I used that $$ to buy a 1/4" 15ips Dutch CBS safety master dub of Kind of Blue. It sounds much better than the vinyl or any other source I've yet heard. I still love my Lenco, and good pressings ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? "Three cantilevers walked into a bar"The Bartender says: "What is this, some kinda joke"?Oh yes, yes, I went there. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Well Nandric, the 'guy' I speak of has sent an Astatic MF 300 cartridge, he accepted $50cdn and it should be here any day! Sunday, I found an Empire 4000 III for $25!!But the real kicker is: my buddy came up from Oregon with some great Open Baffle... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dobar dan, Nandric.. I will keep in touch. I found a guy on ebay with a body, waiting to hear back.Newest problem: I introduced a TVC preamp into my system, and now my phonostage (Bottlehead Eros) is noisy... the preamp somehow brings the hum in t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi everyone! I got sidetracked by the 'Tapes project' and the R2R 'world' Then got caught up in the 'new' cheap and cheerful 'giant killer' DACsSo my TT has been gathering dust as of late. Jumping back in with both feet as is my custom, I purchase... | |
| Breakout DAC for 2013? Ya, I think the DSD dacs, (Mytek, Korg) could be considered 'breakout'I know that my Grant Fidelity Dac11 at $350, delivered, is performing above and beyond what I could have found under $1k a couple of years ago.... but I'm not a digital listener... | |
| UHA Reel to Reel/Tape Project opinions I remember when I got serious about vinyl... people would scoff, talk about how 'scratchy' records sound, etc... most of these guys were convinced nothing could beat CD's... even sound guys I worked with were dead set against even considering viny... | |
| An analog question for those who record Yes, the korg-2000 is really truly excellent (and this is from an analog guy)But if you want to stay analog, go with reel to reel. Good tape isn't hard to find , RMGI makes it, and yes it's pricey, but it will last for ages if stored properly. VHS... | |
