| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? Norman, I have Nakamichi 682ZX. Yeah, I copy my favourite cds to tape too, never really use cd player except for recording. Definitely more listenable. | |
| $20K to spend on speakers…. . wait! There’s a catch! I don’t know much about digital so can’t express any specific opinion. However, I think that just as in analog to make digital sound better one must do it first of all at the source, that’s transport, dac, digital cable and power cords. It is wron... | |
| Age old discussion I know but MM or MC? Benefits? Uberwaltz, you really have to have Nottingham Spacedeck ! Or at least Interspace deck. I wouldn't have it if it didn't rock, believe you me. But I listen to acoustic music, Spain's flamenco, world music, vocal in addition to jazzrock and some rock... | |
| Age old discussion I know but MM or MC? Benefits? I read that Soundsmith cartridges must be very precisely aligned, with VTF and anti-skate equally precisely set, that’s that they are more capricious than average. But this might only be true in some not all cases. | |
| Age old discussion I know but MM or MC? Benefits? To have both is an excellent idea, either with one table or two. But that's not the option the OP is considering. Again, table rocks cartridge follows, well, if it does. | |
| Age old discussion I know but MM or MC? Benefits? Don't know about these particular arm and phono but Grado can be an excellent rock cartridge, or Goldring 1042 or one step down. I use the 1042 with Nottingham, speed and resolution are good for MM and it rocks. I listen to jazzrock among other th... | |
| $20K to spend on speakers…. . wait! There’s a catch! High end gear should be revealing. This includes speakers, if they are not they are not high end speakers but a campwood making noises. That's exactly what most of us listen to. You want the see-thru quality not a fog. This doesn't mean unbalanced... | |
| Power Conditioner Advice please... This is an excellent conclusion - power cords first. Exactly. | |
| Age old discussion I know but MM or MC? Benefits? Simple. For rock you don't need MC cartridge. What you need is a great turntable. Upgrade it if you can. You also need great amps. You might want to upgrade your cartridge to another MM later. Well, you could try $1600 Lyra Delos if you must but w... | |
| $20K to spend on speakers…. . wait! There’s a catch! Another idea is to send a message to Dimitris of Ypsilon and ask him about speakers that he prefers. Not only his electronics is among the very best he also records live music. Flemming of Gryphon makes his own speakers but I would probably ask hi... | |
| $20K to spend on speakers…. . wait! There’s a catch! This is a good question about the speakers' height to which I don't really have an answer. Perhaps you could start a thread regarding it.I might be wrong but I think I wouldn't worry if there were at least 3 feet between the ceiling and the speake... | |
| $20K to spend on speakers…. . wait! There’s a catch! Yes, forgot to mention, Lansche plasma tweeter should be replaced every 5000-7000 hours, I think.I have never seen used any Lansche model for less than $20k, though their entry-level $30k + model should be less than that if available. | |
| $20K to spend on speakers…. . wait! There’s a catch! I would never trust anyone to choose speakers for me or even do the initial selection. It is often difficult to interpret the reviews because before doing it one must 'interpret' the reviewer. Usually I think I can do it with Michael Fremer. The r... | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one Yeah. $6k for onboard DAC is a lot. It would be interesting to compare it to outboard DACs used with the Gryphon Diablo. I don't know much about digital, but I understand the Gryphon DAC can be upgraded in the future, on-line. $2200 for the phono ... | |
| $20K to spend on speakers…. . wait! There’s a catch! cycles2, crates could probably be bought from JM Focal or custom made. At least, that's what I would do if I couldn't pick them up myself or send a limo to do it for me. I however don't know how they would match with Gryphon or even Ypsilon. Most ... |
