| The future of preamps @Audiolabyrinth, here is a link to Atma-Sphere's MP-1 webpage. You can see that he uses 6SN7's and 12AT7's by clicking on the 'Specifications' tab. | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? +1 to what Thefile says. | |
| VPI Classic 3 vs Basis 2200 I've owned a few VPI tables, and a Basis 2500 Signature. Personally, I preferred the Basis table, but just as with anything else in this hobby, it is all system synergy dependent. The Basis was more revealing and transparent, while VPI tables tend... | |
| Which component is most responsible? LOL! This thread is beginning to remind me of that old Why the rectum is the most important organ joke. ;) | |
| Price Increases That is the direction the market has been headed for about 6-8 years now. I've noticed that just about every manufacturer has come out with a new top of the line product in the last 6-8 years that is double the price of what their old top of the l... | |
| Power up my Cary tube integrated? I would think it best if you powered it up a few hours every month, if for no other reason than the cycle the capacitors, which should extend their life expectancy. | |
| Which component is most responsible? +1 Onhwy61 and Minkwelder, those were my thoughts exactly. So in essence, it IS the source, the recording though, not some source component in an audio rig. | |
| $7K to spend on new turntable + arm Stringreen, no need to be so defensive all the time about VPI. They do make good products and they are competitive, but they can be bested too. For reference sake, what other high end tables have you owned that makes you feel that VPI is so wonder... | |
| How much is a used Naim CD5X worth? First of all, I am very sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences.I was going to ask that you go to Ebay and look up the "Completed Listings" section, but I found no completed listings, and I see that you have already posted an ad on Ebay.... | |
| CD SACD PLAYERS The Marantz and Esoteric players are very different sonically. I have owned a modified Esoteric DV-50, and I currently own a modified Marantz SA-11S1. I've also owned quite a few other CDP's, from BAT, EMM Labs, etc. For me, the Marantz does a bet... | |
| Phono stage rec for Rega P25 with ZYX R100-02H Congrats! Let us know how you enjoy it. | |
| Phono stage rec for Rega P25 with ZYX R100-02H Yes, I actually owned a Herron VTPH-1 MC about a decade ago. I had no noise issues at all in my system, and it was a very good sounding unit, especially for the price. I can understand your trepidation regarding tubes, and as I mentioned previousl... | |
| More turntable set up problems Holly, while ZYX does make great cartridges, I know, I've owned 3 of them, the Airy 3, UNIverse and 4-D, I would not just abandon analog if your ZYX cartridge has gone to meet it's maker. LOL! There are a few good cartridge options for under $500 ... | |
| Phono stage rec for Rega P25 with ZYX R100-02H In that price range, wait for a used Klyne to come along. They very rarely do, so if you see one, don't mess around, grab it. They rarely come up for sale, but disappear quickly when they do. Assuming you will not find a Klyne, I'd recommend a Her... | |
| More turntable set up problems Alright Mofimadness...you da man!!! There you go Holly, keep us posted on how things turn out.Cheers,John |
