| Neophite needing advice Dekay, I use Linn Sekrits as my main speakers (with Majik) and they are delightful. I have not directly A/B'd them with Tukans but I think they are more transparent and have more bass. Linn's website lists an in-wall Sekrit. Mine are not in-wall. ... | |
| headphone pre-amps Don't have a comparison to offer, but the Senn 580 sounds really good being driven by my Linn Majik. I'm curious about the special circuitry in Headroom's amps that supposedly get the voices outside of your head, but I'm not willing to spend the $... | |
| Yet another Hum problem If cheater plugs didn't work, then it sounds like you don't have a ground loop problem but a problem with trash coming through the electrical line (despite your Monster power center!) or the air into your system. Living in an apartment building, i... | |
| Anti-skating question Hmm, lost some info in my previous attempt to post this..... Arcmania, Laura Dearborn's article on turntable setup shows up several places on-line, including www.gcaudio.com/Archives/ttsetup.htm ..... The TNT-Audio site has an article that describ... | |
| Anti-skating question Arcmania, Laura Dearborn's article on turntable setup shows up several places on-line, including The TNT-Audio site has an article that describes the HFNRR test LP i mentioned earlier. It's a good record for those who don't have testing equipmen... | |
| JOB, BelCanto, Perpetual, MilleniumDACs? SuburuG, great description of your audition of Bel Canto. I actually hope that you do _not_ experiment with a new power cord (or IC changes) too quickly, because I'd love to hear what you think about the sound you're getting after a week or two pa... | |
| Anti-skating question Sean, the record I mentioned in my original post covers the setup bases. One source for the record is MusicDirect. As for vinyl wear, I wouldn't consider anything up to 2 g to be a problem at all if your stylus is in good shape and the arm is trac... | |
| Anti-skating question Thanks very much for the replies, folks. My puzzlement is that I’ve had to set anti-skating to less than what I’d expected, not more. To illustrate: Tracking force is 1.9 grams, at the high end of manufacturer’s suggested range. Using the visual, ... | |
| what is everybody listening to right now Lately I've been frequently revisiting Ray Charles and Cleo Laine's fantastic collaboration on "Porgy and Bess". Also digging Bill Evans on "Waltz for Debby" (live at the Village Vanguard). Those are LPs. On CD, I've been listening to Ruben Gonzal... | |
| What CD has the best production/sound? For stringed acoustic, David Grisman, mandolinist, does a careful job on his Acoustic Disc label. "I'm Beginning To See The Light" by Martin Taylor (guitar) - David Grisman Acoustic Jazz Quartet would be a good example. Great playing, and swings..... | |
| Bright Star Audio Isolation Devices I put my Rega Planar 3 (after replacing stock rubber feet with cones) on a Bright Star sandbox. I was looking for cleaner definition of highs and silkier vocals and got a very pleasing improvement. I paid a demo price for the box so don't have to ... | |
| Know Origin Live arms and TT kits? Thanks for the responses. The StereoTimes review was a good read. I don't think Origin Live's home page has a link to it yet, but I'm sure it won't be long. And, apparently, the next issue will review OL's TT kit, so I'll look forward to that. Goo... |
