| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart Thanks all- very sincerely! The question that plagues my mind is where and how I can audition these different preamps and turntables, or more importantly combinations of same - and at the same time separate the differences in the carts or other ge... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @rauliruegas I’m certain you have an expert opinion to debate with others, yet at this point the debate of SS vs Tube phono pre-amps is irrelevant to my decision. I’d appreciate it if you’d take the discussion to a different thread or engage priva... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @atmasphere Thanks- Any suggestion on playter pad upgrade?@stringreen I was just at John Rutan’s a couple of weeks ago, listening to the new Ayre EX-8 integrated. As far as TT’s go, he carries VPI, and Clear Audio, which is the reason I was consi... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart Hmmm, according to this review, the Technics SL1300G needs some mods to bring out its potential. | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @sbank and @atmasphere Its not too late at all. I won’t be making my purchases for a month or more. The only items I’m petty convinced on are the Herron and the ART9.Thanks for the leads. | |
| Like female vocals - Check out Cold Specks Love Susan TedeschiYears ago I saw Susan Tedeschi and Buddy Guy warming up for Johnny Lang in Stanhope, NJ on what happened to be Buddy’s Birthday. Yes, you read that right, Buddy Guy was opening for Johnny Lang! Nothing against Johnny Lang, he wa... | |
| Like female vocals - Check out Cold Specks I like Neko Case For my taste I finds “Hold in, Hold On” a bit too unnatural and I like some of her other songs better where you hear her natural tone. This artist may already be familiar to many but I also really like Rhiannon Giddens. Check her ... | |
| Like female vocals - Check out Cold Specks @phaeton16 REALLY digging Beth Hart! Thanks, aside from her obvious talent I like her style and the musical composition. | |
| Like female vocals - Check out Cold Specks @hifiman5 I don’t know any of them - thanks, I’ll check them out. @n80 I like Susan Tedeschi@phaeton16 I don’t know Beth Hart, thanks for that tip. I have Janis in the car CD changer now!I’m glad many of you like Cold Specks, those that don’t- tha... | |
| Like female vocals - Check out Cold Specks @dweller You’re right! Obviously very dissimilar styles, but very similar tone and frequency in their voices. Kudos on the pick up - Thanks! | |
| Apollo R + Codex v. different CDP or Ayre QX Sure thing!I must have missed the Supernova suggestion. Sorry. The Lifatec has more strands, but nowhere does either mention strand, or total cable diameter. Still, at approximately half the cost, I’ll try the Lifatec first. @tomic601 If you have ... | |
| Apollo R + Codex v. different CDP or Ayre QX @tomic601 Can you suggest a glass Toslink cable? I see them online from cheap to rediculous prices. The one I found so far that looks good and is still reasonably priced is Lifatec http://www.lifatec.com | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @rauliruegas HA HA “It’s always easy to spend other people’s money” is one of my most favorite expressions, although it’s usually used when I’m talking about government or business. Generalizations on SS vs tube aside, I get your points; that the... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart I sent an email to Keith Herron, his prompt reply regarding the VTPH-2A and Ayre Ax-7:" We have VTPH-2A customers that are using preamplifiers with 20k Ohms RCA single ended input impedances that are pleased with the sound. I don't recommend goin... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @bpoletti Thanks also for the suggestion to call Keith Herron. As to the feet, it looks like VPI knew they needed improvement there. From one review I found:”The four isolation feet on the bottom of the Prime, sitting in Delrin corner posts, were ... |
