| Favourite Guitarists Fleetowner123 Right on. Who else can take a rh guitar, flip it, and get phenomenal sounds from it playing leftie? His style may not suit suit everyone but - that’s talent. Here’s a gem for streamers - Raimundo Almador’s version of Jimi’s Little ... | |
| Cartridges Thanks again to all! I live in SC where there is no access to audio shows or even any good retail outlets where you can demo components. I’m no spring chicken and since my dynamite system (to me at the time) was stolen in 1978, I was out of the se... | |
| Cartridges Based on pindac’s comments, my Transfig Atria is already worn out! I got it used from a family member already on the VPI and it’s probably 8 yrs old. He’s an avid listener too. I didn’t know carts had such limited lifespan. However, the lower freq... | |
| Cartridges I only have 1 expensive record. It is Steely Dan Aja (Cisco) and came from discogs. They were asking 850 for an unopened copy, but I got a used copy, I think they labeled it mint with near mint cover, for 400. I really did it as an experiment to s... | |
| Cartridges I really appreciate all you guy’s thoughts! Very helpful for me. I admit, my system probably does not warrant a 12k cart based on the cost of the other components. It would be the most expensive piece. But, right or wrong, I’ve heard that it shoul... | |
| Cartridges Have heard stellar reviews | |
| Cartridges Solypsa I have a Transfiguration Axia now and yes, thinking about going to a top end Grado Epoch 3 or maybe something a little less. I know the Grado is a MI and not MC like the Axia but, have ready stellar reviews. | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Patricia Barber - Cafe Blue | |
| The Best Speakers in the World! Jeffseight I too bought a pair of 901s in1976. They were series 2 and I thought at the time they sounded fantastic. I remember them having a small box, some type of equalizer, that was necessary to make them work. I wondered if the smaller 601s h... | |
| Good Ethernet switch Thanks to everyone for your replies! Probably best to wait and get the Phoenix. I’m about to get a really good phono set that will press the issue for the network switch. | |
| How do I get the best soundstage? No, I have not experienced an excellent soundstage yet. I bought the Voltis at Greg’s place in Tennessee last year in March and we went over his placement recommendations at that time. He had a much bigger room though and was using really an infer... | |
| How do I get the best soundstage? lak the speakers are Volti Razz; interconnects are less loss xlr ($950); speaker cables are Audioquest Granite (pretty old but sound decent) | |
| How do I get the best soundstage? lewm I can’t say that I am totally satisfied with the soundstage but, I’m not sure whether the culprit is the Voltis themselves, the room treatment or speaker placement. I have experimented with placement but not to the inth degree nor with an exp... | |
| How do I get the best soundstage? Oh and yes yeti42, I am really enjoying the Voltis now. They are the entry level Razz. I had to really work to get the bass output ie with upgraded DAC, reclocker and cables. Each incremental upgrade helped and the less loss cables really did fini... | |
