| Micro Seiki ddx-1500 Hartmut," ... string driven Micros are in another class, though." What sonic quality do you prefer about the string drive Micros?Does that hold true for you for all string drives or just he Micros, when compared to the DD drives? Just curious.Best... | |
| Micro Seiki ddx-1500 Harmut,Thanks. I read in some blog that the DDX-1500 started as a belt drive design. If true, it would seem consistent with being a better string drive than direct drive.Do you prefer the Micro string drive to the sp10 mk2? | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Alec,With your budget, why not keep the Acustic Raven for now and buy a Technics sp10 mk2 or mk3 from AlbertPorter or from Xactaudio or from Saskia and compare them in your own home. You will be comparing excellent examples of two very different, ... | |
| Joule - Electra: Just How Hot?? The Harley metaphor is perfect. | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. I suppose somebody could bi-monobloc (2 BAT VK-150 SE) for a total of 4 monoblocs. And if it really sounded better, I'm sure there are audiophiles who would do it. I also imagine it would introduce new problems matching gain.The point is, if highe... | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. I'm not sure using the Jas 6c33 convinces me, however given the room size and volume, I narrow my suggestion to a moderate power tube amp. Again, less or no feedback is good. A good used push pull amp is fine.You may find that doing so enables you... | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. Maril555,I have not heard the Bolero. Have you heard the Sonata?What SET amp did you pair with the Bolero? | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. May I suggest that you call Alan at Silverline. He is a very nice guy.Your speaker is about 93db @ 8 ohms and has a silk dome tweater. It is largely voiced using moderate power to moderately low power tube amps. A friend of mine drives a pair with... | |
| Joule - Electra: Just How Hot?? Having owned Joule products, I agree with the comments that construction quality should be better. | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. I agree with Doug. Before chasing down tweaks, go borrow a good tube amp. The CJ is a mismatch with the easy to drive Silverline speakers. The better resolution of your new table has exposed the mismatch, probably both in terms of distortion and o... | |
| Phono stages belong to which tier? Logenn,Can you compare the sonic qualities of the Lamm LP2 and the Allnic?Since you own both, I'd be very interested in your evaluation. I'm not looking for a ranking (personal tastes et al), but I'm keen on your comparison of sonic characteristic... | |
| How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks? The tape project site looks great. But, at $300 an album it would be difficult for me to obtain the quantity I'd like to have to make a meaningful start.It looks like there are some tapes on Ebay.Other suggestions?Thanks, Jeff | |
| How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks? Where do you buy reel to reel recordings?I'm sure the question has been asked, but when I googled it I kept getting reel tapes (blank) for sale. Thanks, Jeff | |
| Most beneficial change . In the two test samples, it appears the tube amp adds predominantly second or even order harmonic and the solid state amp adds odd order harmonic (at a comparatively lower level (amplitude?)). It may be worth noting that the authors complained of ... | |
| Most beneficial change . Jylee, what is your evidence that tube amps "add" additional 2nd and 3rd harmonics?I have heard that tube amps emphasize even order harmonics and that solid state amps emphasize odd order harmonics. I've not heard that either embellishes the music... |
