| opinions on favorite cartridge I too am struck by the number of mid-level cartridges and not good enough phono stages. I partly disagree with Stanwal in that I believe that the table itself should be the strongest link if you have to choose. | |
| $1000 upgrade. Opinions? Audiolab was actually the first piece in the current system. I myself am surprised how much performance you can sometimes extract from a modest piece of equipment.So far no one mentioned upgrading the tonearm, adding DAC to the player or getting s... | |
| $1000 upgrade. Opinions? As usual, very different opinions. And all make sense. "Do nothing now" is also the least expensive.Audiolab is not really mechanical sounding but it's not Rowland or Gryphon integrateds you know. | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 So now we know that this properly restored and modified Technics is the best turntable in existence, at least for around $100K. This is most likely the biggest bullshit I've ever heard here.Mauidj, I suggest you just buy the SME you were thinking ... | |
| $1000 upgrade. Opinions? I will upgrade the speakers later to Michael Green Chameleons or something else but that's not $1k upgrade.Dedicated line is not possible in the apartment. I was thinking about big cartridge upgrade or adding power amp. I don't think that low comp... | |
| My love of music is killing me. I may sound a little cold but, yes, please allow someone else to share your pain and loss. Part of you wants to die as well, don't let it become too powerful.Grief counselor would not be enough; if you decide to follow this path you should find a ... | |
| Do Interconnects need to "warm up"? I doubt that the interconnects need the warm-up. However, they need some time to settle, that's if you just put them in the system let them be for a while. How long? It depends. | |
| I can't get no satisfaction ...... smile Vertigo, I agree with everything you said.I have Nottingham original Spacedeck/Spacearm with soon to be replaced Dyna 10X5 cartridge and Acoustech PH-I phono. I am thinking about either trying Goldring 1042 MM or Garrott MM or perhaps Lyra MC thou... | |
| I can't get no satisfaction ...... smile I never feel that my system is satisfactory though it is much more modest than yours. But, you know, everything else being equal systems do sound somewhat better or worse day to day, especially probably because of speakers.I am not familiar with y... | |
| Ten audiophile commandments Oh no, no farm animals.Swampwalker, what is he talking about?In any case, I suspect that police officers are not quite prepared for many kinds of audiophile sophistication. | |
| best rca cable for deep controlled bass There are other possibilities. They may be all so bad or perfect.Also, cleaning ears is easy but how the hell would you clean the brains? | |
| Best cables for Simaudio Moon system?? Perhaps you could also try Nirvana and Purist cables. I never liked Cardas, it is non-linear with enough distortion, usually bass heavy,slow, thick, doesn't get tremble right etc. It is audiophile tone controls and not a good one.Manufacturers of ... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 I never heard either though read some. It appears that there are not many tables that can outperform correctly set-up Walker in any system. It would be fun to compare that Technics to it.Albert is also a dealer for Purist Audio, if I am right. | |
| Reel to Reel decks I never play my most valuable records after I made a recording. I don't use RTR yet, I use Nakamichi deck. If I ruin those records by accident they will be almost impossible or very expensive to replace, or both. Good for me that I don't have many... | |
| over packing items---overkill? I know what you are talking about. I once bought metal cones from Audiogon fellow. The packing was incredible.I think, some people just do their best packing job almost regardless of what they are sending. That's good. I tend to do the same, but n... |
