| The Trouble with Cartridge Recommendations Patience is a virtue that is usually well rewarded, both as a buyer and a seller. Happy hunting!! | |
| The Trouble with Cartridge Recommendations The ZYX/Dyna is a closer call, but I'd still go for the ZYX, a tad better soundstaging and a bit smoother. The Dynavector will have a bit better bass and dynamics though....sooooo....I'd still go for the ZYX. However, it is your money, so the real... | |
| Found Perfect Amp For My Needs, But Is It Too Old? Yeah, I understand, probably wouldn't work for you (or me). They are the color I like and fairly close, but like I said, I'm tight on cash at this moment. If they were not the color I wanted, and 600 miles away, the incorrect spelling and no feedb... | |
| The Trouble with Cartridge Recommendations Sonically, I'd recommend the ZYX, but keep in mind that you'll need to buy a VPI - STAINLESS STEEL HEADSHELL WEIGHT to use with the ZYX. | |
| Nordost Valhalla Power Cords LOL!! Thanks Audiolabyrinth, hopefully one day I will be wealthy enough to buy that. I never paid more than about $2500 for a used interconnect (Stealth Indra), and those days appear to be over due to economic circumstances (job loss). Hey, maybe ... | |
| Triode mode vs pento mode Triode mode offers lesser power at an alledgedly better sound quality than Pentode. Hopefully Al will stop in to explain it better. Al...... :) | |
| Nordost Valhalla Power Cords @Audiolabyrinth, I am sure that Tara's top models are stunning, I wish I could afford to listen to them myself. Alas, only so much time, money and too many toys to try. One can never find the time/money to try them all.Enjoy the Tara cables, I'm s... | |
| The Trouble with Cartridge Recommendations I'll second Swampwalker's reco to contact Mehran if interested in a ZYX. You have to be careful with a ZYX on a VPI arm. VPI recommends cartridges weighing over 7 grams and having compliance of 10 or higher. I don't think the lower priced ZYX's me... | |

| Shindo & GamuT - Comments? According to the specs I've seen, the Shindo has an output impedence of 600 ohms and the GamuT has an input impedence of 20K ohms, which means there should be no impedence matching issues. I can't see how gain could be an issue, but neither GamuT ... | |
| Negative feedback Amp=more faithful reproduction? So let's see if I have this right, umm.Amp negative feedback goodAudiogon negative feedback bad.......umm. | |
| Tax return burning a hole in my pocket 02-20-13: Hotmailjbcspend it quickly on audio, women and booze or there is a pretty good chance you will waste on something frivilous....LOL!! Truer words have never been typed. ;) | |
| change to ARC Dac 7? You are very welcome, we all need a little reminder now and again. Reviews tend to glow, that's their purpose, to move product. I'm not saying not to improve your system if you want, but be cautious, there are a lot of sharks in these waters that ... | |
| Found Perfect Amp For My Needs, But Is It Too Old? Nightfall, here's a link to that pair of Model 6 amps I was talking about. It looks like they expire in about 22 hours. Yeah, he spelt the name wrong AND has no feedback, but since he 'lives' about a 100 miles away, I was thinking of taking a look... | |
| Nordost Valhalla Power Cords @Audiolabyrinth, Stealth Audio is a US cable company, they operate out of Maryland. They are not that new either, they have been around for 10 years or so. I haven't been as far up the Tara Labs line as you have, the furthest I've been is The One ... |
