| Clearaudio Master Reference vs. Basis Debut V ?? A few people have emailed me on my previous Clearaudio forum comments, so I will share further experiences here.I have the same gut feeling as Albert on the linear tracking concept. I use the Clearaudio Reference with TQ1 rather than the Master ta... | |
| Benz ACE, Grado Sonata or Clearaudio Aurum Beta S? Hello,I used a Sonata for a few months. It was a phenomenol tracker with great bass extension and good weight in the mids. However, the extended trebles that I have become so used to with MC cartridges was reduced. I then tried a Benz Glider which... | |
| Magnepan MGCC1 & shysters I submitted a response here but it was rejected by Audiogon as I had mentioned the man's name and his address. Here is that message again with that info left off. For anyone interested in that information, please contact me.------------------Oh oh... | |
| Comparison ARC Classic 30 and VT-50 For about a year I owned (given to me) a Classic60. I then had to return it a year later (complicated story) and then went with a VT130. Since the CL60 is the bigger brother to the CL30 and the VT130 along the same time as the VT50, I feel my expe... | |
| What IS that tune?????? Your sperm's in the gutter, your love's in the sink"Sure glad I got this line, Thanks guys!" | |
| SME V tonearm versus Rega tonearms on Michell Orbe Hmmm, you are contemplating putting a multi-thousand $ cartridge on an arm that costs a few hundred $? Doing just the opposite makes far more sense. If you are looking to stay with UK arms, the Naim ARO may very well be your best choice....otherwi... | |
| NBS Audio Cables I too have had good response from NBS. A couple of times I needed information and I too was told Walter was out of the office, but I put my questions to an email and within the day I had gotten my questions answered.I use Statement between preamp ... | |
| Is Audio Research Corp alive and well? I live only 5 minutes from ARC and have repeatedly gotten excellent service just as a walk-in customer. Each time I have needed a manual or parts kit, they are always right there to help me. When I took my VT130 in for service they had put it in a... | |
| Audio Research PH-2 Phono Stage I have to say I have an entirely different experiencewith the PH2 than Rdr4b. I have had the PH2 since early1995 and would consider it perhaps the most neutral productin my system (ARC LS5II, DAC3II, VT130, driving Maggie3.3).My phono is Clearaudi... | |
| Clearaudio Reference Mistracking I'd thank to thank everyone here for their experiences and comments. I will try to address each of these now.Concerning the MusicalSurroundings website, yes, I checked it out. And I will send a copy of my posting to them this weekend. I will share... | |
| Cardas GOlden Reference vs GOlden Cross Hi Audiotomb,I think your comment, "am looking for neutral cable with warmth and harmonics of music", says it all. You first need to find electronics with these qualities before you think about the cables. The cables are not the porblem....the LS2... | |
| Shinon Red cartridge I owned this cartridge back in the mid to late 80s. What a wonderful warmth and bloom in the mids. If my recollection serves me right, the tracking force was 1.8g. | |
| Tale of the preamps Hi Steve. Not having any experience with Jadis, Avalon, Wadia, Atmaspehere, etc., I can not comment on the pros and cons of all the components discussed above. But I too went through a ton of listening when I was looking for the ultimate musicalit... | |
| Digital Rules You have to laugh loud with this one! But with all the serious and educational exchanges that go on here, some entertainment is needed too. | |
| Which IC is more important? "The upstream cable is always more critical because it affects everything downstream." No! It really comes down to how each component integrates with the rest of the system. And some links in the chain are far more critical than others. All this s... |
