| Space and Time Quantum III Cable Question You should contact Tara Labs about this. They stand behind their products well and they can give you information about the cables. I owned a set for years and thought they sounded great. My friend is still using them on a set of Martin Logans.Good... | |
| Vandersteen Quattros - Top Wooden Shelf DEFECT? The tops do slide off for easy replacement. There is nothing wrong with your pair. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. | |
| Vpi aries with Benz L-2 cartridge I was in the same place with my VPI Scout (Superplatter, upgraded motor, SDS, signature arm) and Benz Ruby3. When I discovered that my Modwright Transporter allowed me to enjoy my music better than the VPI, I knew it was time for a change. I ended... | |
| Amp rec for AR REF3/CD7, & SF Auditor M's/REL B2 I have heard this front end (Ref3, CD7) in combination with the Aesthetix Atlas Hybrid Amplifier and a pair of Vandersteen 5a's. It was a great combination. To me, the Atlas may be the best amplifier I have ever heard. At $8K list it is still a ba... | |
| Theta Gen VIII MkII vs. ARC REF II Mk. II A friend of mine had the ARC Ref 3 mated to the Theta Citadel monoblocks. In an effort to move his system to a Music Server based system, he auditioned the Gen VIII. IMHO the Theta sounded more natural than the ARC, in his system. The only area wh... | |
| Please suggest good balanced Preamp Without knowing what amplifier you will be using it's hard to make a recommendation. Can you elaborate?I also own an Aesthetix Calypso and have had no noise issues either.Good Luck. | |
| Whic CD player would you pick and why If you decide to rip your music to your PC you should consider the Modwright Transporter. It has ended my search for a better CD player or DAC. The CD players and DAC's I have owned are, Wadia 20 transport and 27ix DAC, Wadia 861SE, Rega Saturn, P... | |
| wadia 6 and 21 You should check with Steve at the Great Northern Sound Company. He may have the parts.Good Luck!Joe | |
| The best amp for $2k tube, solid state or hybrid The Theta Dreadnaught would be a good choice. It is still one of the best sounding amps out there and should meet your audio requirements. There are quite a few of them listed here on Audiogon in your price range. | |
| Turntable--Cartridge for the Rogue Audio Cronus I would suggest you look at the Marantz TT 15 turntable. It is basically a beefed up Clearaudio Emotion turntable and for $1595 list, includes a great MM cartridge. Check it out at Music Direct. | |
| Logitech Squeezebox III Power Supply/Mods One thing you might try is the Channel islands Audio power supply upgrade. I thought it made a very noticeable improvement. There are much more expensive power supply upgrades available but I don't think you get that much more for your money. The ... | |
| Music server interface suggestions I am a big fan of the Slim Devices solutions and I have upgraded from a Squeezebox 3 and a Bel Canto DAC2 to the Modwright Transporter. This is the best digital front end I have owned and the Slim Devices interface is simple to use. My music is st... | |
| Reag P-5 with Ortofon 2M Bronze...??? You might want to look at the Marantz TT15. This table is made by Clearaudio and is an upgraded version of their Emotion TT. AT $1595 list including a really good Clearaudio cartridge I can't see how you could go wrong. My son has one and it sound... | |
| Tube Rolling for the PSE HL-1 Hi,I owned a PSE HL1 for more than 8 years and after trying many other tubes I concluded that the standard Sovtek 6922's sounded the best. Bottom line, tube rolling with this preamp is a waste of time. I would look elsewhere in your system to affe... |
