| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... This is a perfectly normal and legitimate thread. The approach to that is a personal choice - some just buy, others just not, yet others buy many used one by one and then choose. There are few real dealers left. And if I can't audition cartridge I... | |
| Capitol Audio Fest and the New York Audio a trend is emmerging Nordost should be a poor choice for Magico, anyway, regardless of cost. | |
| Capitol Audio Fest and the New York Audio a trend is emmerging Yeah, $10k speakers with $11k speaker cables is either stupid or extravagant. Overall cost of system cabling as much as the cost of active components is almost certainly always stupid.I do use speaker cables that cost as much as speakers, though. ... | |
| Do you use a custom Power Cord on a Power Conditioner? I used to keep my best cord on the integrated amp but no longer, I now keep it on PS Audio regenerator/conditioner. Overall it is better, still better cord on the amp wouldn't hurt, though what I have is already quite good. So yes, real good power... | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... On a more personal note, they can go have themselves with these prices. So can those who pay these prices. No cartridge is worth $5k let alone more, but in this kind of bazaar economy strange things happen and this is not the strangest one. $5k fo... | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... Better Japanese MC cartridges prices are so high in the US because people like you are prepared to pay what is asked. " Like you " does not necessarily means you, I think you hesitate. Don't pay it, period. UK prices are sometimes lower, from auth... | |
| Power Conditioners: Audioquest Niagara 5000 or Shunyata Denali 6000S Since everyone is making recommendations I will too.To begin with, I would get $130 Furman surge protector/ kind of conditioner and listen for a few months while trying to figure out what is not quite right if anything. Then tell us what happened ... | |
| full-scale orchestral music—best test of speakers’ potential? Yes, I start with voice as well, the most natural instrument of them all. Then acoustic guitar and piano, then jazz rock, then bass.If the system can't do voice it is either junk or out of tune. | |
| full-scale orchestral music—best test of speakers’ potential? This test won't do anything for you if you don't listen to this kind of music. Other things will be more important.Besides, no speakers can reproduce the full orchestra, not even close. It can't even be recorded well. Let's get real, shall we ? | |
| Power Conditioners: Audioquest Niagara 5000 or Shunyata Denali 6000S By the way, I never read any review of anything that would tell the whole story.Another point, since it's important to you, absolutely any company can disappear at any moment, don't count on any service long term. | |
| Power Conditioners: Audioquest Niagara 5000 or Shunyata Denali 6000S Mike, you are about to spend $4000 on you don’t know what. It is unknown how it will work in your set up, by itself and in comparison with other devices. And it doesn’t stabilize voltage.I just felt that I had to warn you. | |
| power cord affects on video? Don't know about TV sets but I put $13 14 gauge shielded power cord on the computer and couldn't believe my eyes - everything looked so much better on the monitor. Sound from the computer was also better. Then I put second power cord on the monito... | |
| Best place to sell high end audio equipment? I rarely buy or sell. When I do I buy here and sell on ebay. Yes, ebay got expensive but it is easy to sell there and often for a higher price.Losing 1/3 is too much unless it's inexpensive junk, some people still work for living. | |
| Did you ever mismatch equipment ? It appears that my Acoustech phono's output impedance and passive preamp section of Redgum RGi120 integrated's input impedance are bordering the mismatch. Still sounds good. I often run the phono thru tape deck first and then to the amp. Sounds be... | |
| Power Conditioners: Audioquest Niagara 5000 or Shunyata Denali 6000S Mike, I don't exactly have to measure it, I use PS Audio regenerator and it shows me voltage in real time.People often plug directly into the wall their power amps with robust power supplies. Your Luxman integrated is three components in one box -... |
