| VAC Signature MK2a pre "phono tube questions" Yes, they might. When I am ready to order my LAMMs I will get in touch with Vladimir and discuss with him exactly that along with some other things. Or even if I get a used one. I may still have to try couple of sets but not dozens of them. And I ... | |
| best wood for speaker cabinets ? oak,cherry, balti Birch, oak and walnut are acoustically "stupid" woods and you want to have nothing to do with them. If you must use something other than MDF use cherry. And, yes, cherry can be very different. I think, Michael Green used cherry in his reference fr... | |
| PAD speaker cable differences The Cable Company lets you try cables in your system for couple of weeks, I think. They do charge something for this. Many here used their service and I didn't hear complaints so far. | |
| PAD speaker cable differences Nsgarch, I understand your position, I think it is valid. So maybe Bryston would do but please no Radio Shack cables.Well, we are talking, is the OP listening? | |
| Cartridge for a vintage Sansui table/arm Yeah, your source appears to be the weakest link, though you didn't mention the cables.What Stanwal said makes sense. Unless your table is valuable to you and you plan to keep it for a long time, and you don't want to spend a lot on a better table... | |
| PAD speaker cable differences Yes, excellent post, but it doesn't mean that I agree with everything Nsgarch said. I myself would definitely not audition any speakers using something like midfi Bryston with Radio Shack cables. I would take older Rowland or Pass amp and DiMarzio... | |
| VAC Signature MK2a pre "phono tube questions" Sorry about going sideline a little, but why would such an excellent company as VAC use "nothing special" tubes instead of the best new not NOS there is? This doesn't inspire my confidence in any way. I would want them to find overall best tubes f... | |
| PAD speaker cable differences "if one is right for your system, then the other isn't". Wrong. Not necessarily. Both can be right, but you may still prefer one to the other.Some think that Proteus is the most "neutral" Purist cable. Also, as far as I know, this is the first sin... | |
| Does anyone use Simaudio Pre with Krell amps? This is the kind of argument that I find impossible to respond to. About being Canadian I mean. | |
| Best REEL TO REEL blank tape? Yes, this better/worse/different subject was extensively discussed here. In some ways some recordings can sound better to some ears, mine included. But it takes a well-aligned and tuned great deck with great tape to make this discussion valid, I t... | |
| How Long Ago Since You Cried Listening To Music? "Music is the truest art form". Agreed. Even the best poetry read well sounds like music too. So do some dialogues or monologues in films. | |
| Best REEL TO REEL blank tape? Some records are very valuable and either virtually irreplaceable or/and very expensive to replace.Also, I rarely listen to the entire side of a record, I may listen to a track or two so compilations make sense to me.40 open reel decks, oh man. I ... | |
| Preamp-power amp interconnectors advice I think he is listening, but we just threw too much of an authority at the man, and naturally he doesn't like it. Who would? | |
| Best REEL TO REEL blank tape? Why not try one of each and compare? Also, your deck might've been tuned to record best on particular brand and model. Have you had it aligned and cleaned recently?I don't know much about R2R but for my Nak I use Maxell Vertex tape which is by far... | |
| How Long Ago Since You Cried Listening To Music? I apologize for somewhat inappropriate comment, but the OP really pissed me off in another thread. Also, I didn't quite do what I said I did but that was close.Now, music can evoke very strong emotions and can have an incredible cathartic power. T... |
