| Upgrading from Verity Sarastro I to II Mike,As you point out, there are many reasons why Verity might've needed to come up with a version 2, and it isn't necessarily down to sound. Could be it was cheaper, could be some element was discontinued, etc...So tread carefully, especially if ... | |
| Focal Scala Utopia vs Wilson Sasha? Camali,You'll get as many answers as there are speakers so as I said, you have to listen for yourself. Nobody is right or wrong. The only time I heard Wilsons I was unimpressed but that was a long time ago and they must've changed a lot. Likewise,... | |
| Focal Scala Utopia vs Wilson Sasha? Focal Utopia speakers exhibit the kind of clarity, transparency and finesse that grows on you after several listening sessions. Some of the most realistic sounds I've heard came out of Utopia Be speakers over the years, but somehow it took me a lo... | |
| Standmount speakers - alternatives to spikes? Thanks to all sharing experiences. Also chanced upon some Harmonix cones on the net, but way too expensive (can't actually understand why with the "technology", involved).More, anyone? :) | |
| Standmount speakers - alternatives to spikes? Thanks for all the answers so far. :)I might not have been very clear. I'm not trying to protect my floor here (pennies are enough for that) but just to explore solutions that could improve sound, like the Vibrapods mentionned above.Keep them comi... | |
| tuner better than turntable ? thread. I'm actually tempted to agree. Under the best circumstances (live broadcast, no compression), a tuner is the closest thing I've heard to the real event. I'm not even trying to explain it. As pointed out above, the frequency range is limited to 15k... | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? Hi Argyro,I totally agree with you, there are TONS of overpriced products around there, and a lot of them not even good!I hear what you're saying about the ATA cases. I'm sure they're good. But a well-designed (I insist on that) cardboard box, wit... | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? I am myself considering the Fidelio route (first version). There's no question Verity are great speakers, but they are also overpriced and I can't and wouldn't want to spend their retail price, regardless of their qualities.The ATA flight cases fo... | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? Mark,Curious to know what you thought of the Finn compared to the flagship Parsifal.Thanks.JB | |
| Avalon Indra, OpusII, AscentII I heard the Opus 2 but not the Indra. All I can say is the Opus did cast one of the most spectacular soundstages I've ever heard, not only with tons of depth (which other speakers easily achieve) but with a very impressive feeling of layering. I t... | |
| Nottingham Analogue Hyperspace They're unfortunately not but making arms is actually quite a different art than making turntables. So no surprise here. Tonearms requires a totally different kind of equipment. And making a good one is like watchmaking, it gets really expensive. ... | |
| Nottingham Analogue Hyperspace I do not know both but I have owned the 12". IMHO, Nottingham are not famous for their tonearms, which are nowhere near as good as their amazing turntables.The signature of the Nott 12" is rather warm and slightly soft. Always musical but won't le... | |
| TW Raven One vs. Nottingham 294? Crem,I'm perfectly fine with your post and support of the Raven. My problem is with Jhendrixfan's post below yours. I find it immature and uninformative.JB | |
| TW Raven One vs. Nottingham 294? "If the N-A is soooo good why do they need to keep changing/upgrading it?"This is as childish as it gets, and pointless. The post above yours mentions upgrading the Raven too!Grow up a little bit. The reason everything can be upgraded is because p... | |
| TW Raven One vs. Nottingham 294? Picking up the thread a little bit late. I own a 294 and it seems to me it's the best value in the Nottingham range. Like Scompracer, I would recommend using a Boston Audio Mat and most of all, to not use the Space Arm, which is not very good (if ... |
