| Speaker finish? My wife has never seen any speakers I have bought before they 'appear' in the house. That said, I do understand her tastes and our living arrangments, so I know I can't buy electrostats/planars, or other 'big' speakers, because I have no room for ... | |
| Audio Equipment... the word Cool... and Life 02-12-13: RjaDeclaring yourself "cool" is definitely uncool!BUSTED......damn, this place is no fun. My wife and kids tell me all the time how uncool I am....... now I've been exposed here......sigh. Well....I still got my padded cell. :) | |
| $5000.00 To Spend Looking for Tube Pre-Amp Another tube preamp thread Dragon_vibe? This is your third thread in 6 weeks looking for preamp advice. Stop asking how the water is and jump in the pool already!! Get wet, have some fun!! Just buy a frickin' preamp already!! | |
| Audio Equipment... the word Cool... and Life kool as the flip side of the pillow daddy-o. | |
| Cartridge dilemma Well then you could use the Dynavector trade-in program as suggested. If $360 is still too much money, grab a Ortofon 2M Red for about $100. | |
| Cartridge dilemma Sorry, now I am confused. I was under the impression that you could not afford to buy a new 10X5, and you were looking for less expensive alternatives. Then you mention that you are considering 3 cartridges that cost more than the 10X5. So I am lo... | |
| I feel like an idiot; lessons learned Shakeydeal, don't mind Schipo, he's our resident troll (mrtycraft?). He hates all things audio related. He believes himself to be the Emperor of the audio world, and he alone decides how all should spend their coin. LOL!!! | |
| Dynavector XX Mk II Sorry for the confusion Vusi, the SUT was never meant to be used with the Cary's MC phono input. I realize this would not work. The SUT is just in case I cannot make the Dyna work with the Cary, I also have a VAC preamp with MM phono stage, that i... | |
| Rate my rig 02-11-13: Slikric3000A few people on here have the intellect of a small child Reading through this thread, it seems like your estimate of a 'few' is a vast understatement, with you leading the parade. This thread simply serves the purpose of provi... | |
| I feel like an idiot; lessons learned Always check the free fixes first. Unfortunately, that's a lesson that I've forgotten on more than one occasion. The last time, about 9 months ago, one speaker was sounding lifeless, so I put my ear up to the tweeter and sure enough, there was no ... | |
| Dynavector XX Mk II Jeff, you were corrct the first time, that review is for the XX mk II, I know, I read it. It also further concerned me about the loading issue because I read this in that review:Interestingly, whilst the technical sheet that comes with the cartrid... | |
| Dynavector XX Mk II Thanks Jeff and Brf, I suppose I'll just have to be patient. I thought that break-in may be an issue, but I didn't know just how much of a difference it would make. I've had sound change over time with some components, but very rarely does it chan... | |
| Dynavector XX Mk II Moonguy and Opus88, what differences do you notice in the XX mk II's performance between the 100 ohm loading and the 1000 ohm loading?Currently I am loaded at 100 ohms, switching to 1000 ohms is no small task, as the resistors are well hidden and ... | |
| Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge Doug, the 4D's shape may have been different, but it still looks like a clear acrylic body like the UNIverse and Airy 3. When I think different looking, I mean really different looking. Look at the Sumiko like, the Blackbird looks nothing like the... | |
| What kind of power cord comes with expensive gear Orpheus10, your two posts make it appear as if you listen with your eyes. Relax, this isn't a pissing contest. No one's is better than yours, just as yours isn't better than anyone else's. |
