| What's the weakest link in my stereo set up? I live in a townhome, so limited on space. I don't know how good your phono stage is, so I would probably upgrade to Nagaoka MP500 cartridge first. Or perhaps the speakers, but you say you like them. | |
| Does Studer A810 really sound better than Otari MX- 5050 BII2 ? Outboard tape head preamp, preferably tube, would be the next step, the ultimate set up. | |
| No one talks about Purist Audio Design cables. And believe it or not, I still use the original Purist Colossus fluid speaker cables. They are probably over 30 years old, I had them refilled with the fluid twice by Purist, more than 10 years ago the last time, I think, and they are an excellent... | |
| No one talks about Purist Audio Design cables. If I remember right, Aqueous uses Contego which is sort of a mixture of fluid and Ferox. Never tried them, though. I use old Dominus Ferox power cord with the VAC Avatar SE tube integrated amp with great results. | |
| No one talks about Purist Audio Design cables. I have Neptune Luminist Revision RCA interconnects and like them a lot. But it is not exactly neutral cable. Wywires Diamond is overall better but Neptune has its charm. Huge soundstage and tube like qualities. | |
| Vibration control. Tube equipment. What's the best way to do it ? sns, what is the difference between Maple and Baltic Birch ? Different sound signature ? I've never used anything but Maple. | |
| Vibration control. Tube equipment. What's the best way to do it ? Right. I am just interested in how people approach it. Listening is the key, anyway, as always. | |
| Vibration control. Tube equipment. What's the best way to do it ? larryi, I don't perceive or hear anything wrong, so I suppose it's alright. That's interesting regarding choosing most microphonic tubes, you probably chose them despite that. | |
| How often do you upgrade turntable ? mke246, now that's a huge jump. What tonearm and cartridge do you use ? And what is your phono stage ? | |
| I often notice that people who have open reel decks and/or tube equipment are nicest It is a journey. A lot of thought, a lot of effort. | |
| How often do you upgrade turntable ? noromance, I agree - big steps. awise1961, I really like the Spacedeck, mine has Space arm and Goldring 1042 cartridge. I was thinking about upgrading both the arm and the cartridge but decided to postpone it. It sounds good as it is. | |
| How often do you upgrade turntable ? I see. That's unusual, I think, to keep a turntable for such a long time. Without perhaps adding another better one. | |
| How often do you upgrade turntable ? No doubt about your memory, man. | |
| I often notice that people who have open reel decks and/or tube equipment are nicest " Not having to process idiocy is indeed calming ". Great way to put it. | |
| I often notice that people who have open reel decks and/or tube equipment are nicest Of course, we are good looking, and our equipment may look even better ! |
