| I hate when this happens ...... Garebear, I had a couple of similar things happen to me recently which made me re-examine my system and the sound I was looking for in terms of the overall sound. These experiences made me realize that while the bass in my system was good it did n... | |
| Would an Aesthetix Calypso and A Pass XA 30.5 be compatible? Thanks for both of your responses and sorry about my slow reply. I ended up buying an Aesthetix Atlas, which works perfectly with my Calypso.Thanks to John Rutan at Audio Connection for the great recommendation.Best Regards,Jim Perry | |
| ProAc sound with SS vs tubes The bass control is better with the Aesthetix Atlas, but they sound great with tubes. It really depends on the type of music you select. For small jazz, female vocals, folk music, etc the Quicksilver amps are tough to beat. | |
| ProAc sound with SS vs tubes I own Proac D 40r speakers which are bottom ported. I have found them to be flexible with regard to placement and no issues with chuffing. I used them for years with Quicksilver V-4 amplifiers and recently changed to an Aesthetix Atlas (all Aesthe... | |
| Need thoughts RE-Best Universal for my High end audio and TV, video etc. I use a RTI and it works flawlessly | |
| Monitors for Pass Labs 60 INT I think you should consider the Wilson Benesch speakers. No relation to seller, but there is a pair of Discovery for sale on Audiogon at a good price. About 88 db efficient and should be a good match. | |
| Turntable isolation... I think a new Vibraplane is $2,000 to $2,500. It is very effective. You should call Sounds of Silence. Steve Klein is a good guy to deal with. I also looked at minus K, but per the note above from wrm57 I decided I did not want to deal with the ba... | |
| Turntable isolation... Vibraplane from Sounds of Silence | |
| Need Klyne Audio SK-2 manual for dip switch set up Check vinyl engine and hifi engine if you have not already done that. | |
| Question for you Denon DL-103 folks Instead of spending money on a cartridge I recommend you upgrade the tonearm. Audiomods or Basis tonearms are drop in replacements for the "good for the money" Rega tonearm. | |
| Turntable/arm/catridge choices have me spinning Given your environment and budget you should consider purchasing a Vibraplane for your turntable system. Sounds of Silence sells them and a great isolation platform make a difference, even under a SOTA, Basis or other turntable with excellent isol... | |
| What's your biggest surprise in hifi? How important a tonearm is in the reproduction chain, and how great a really old turntable (Garrard 301) can sound. | |
| if you had my system and $2,000 budgeted for an upgrade, where would you spend it? Upgrade the Rega tonearm. A used Basis Vector would make a significant difference | |
| proac d15 I don't think 6 watts is enough power for the Proac 1.5. You would have to sit very near field (under 1 m away from speakers) for this to have a chance of working. | |
| Suspensions on turntable...really effective? I suggest you look at the Kinetic Systems website for information on vibration control. You should also Google search Vibraplane and look at the article from Positive Feedback that will be in the search. |
