| Rega arm vs Sumiko "02-19-15: MisterniceThe sumiko mdc 800 is the tonearm you want."I agree with you. The MDC 800 would be a great choice. No longer in production, but they occasionally are offered for sale. This was a classic and desirable pairing with the SOTA tur... | |
| What speakers for 10k? "I wonder what those Magnavox speakers of sevenshy's sound like?"Probably similar to the WT without the whizzer cones ;-) | |
| Rega arm vs Sumiko IMO the Rega will not be an upgrade. You should look for a SME 309, IV, or V. Any of those would be an upgrade, although probably more expensive than the Rega. | |
| VPI Aries with non-VPI arm "03-14-14: MaxhI think I'm jumping the VPI ship."Take a look at SME. They have a new TT coming out priced between the 10 and 20. | |
| Tubes for my Aesthetix Calypso I think the 12ax7 affect the sound quality more than the 6922 for this preamp. In addition to discussing this with Aesthetix, you should also talk to Andy at Vintage Tube Services. | |
| Rega RP8 Clearaudio Concept Wood or...? Tjnindc, "Going thinking seems to be that the Pro-Jects weaken as you move up the line, but I would love to hear if anyone has had good experiences with their nicer decks."I am not sure who is thinking this, but I think the Pro-ject Extension 10 a... | |
| SOS: Andy Bowman - Vintage Tube Services Andy is a one man shop and sometimes it takes a while to receive items. | |
| Floor Stander with Small Footprint 7K - 15K I bought a pair of Proac Response D-40r in Rosewood. I think they look and sound great. Yu can look at my system for pictures. They should work fine in a room the size of yours. | |
| What speakers for 10k? "02-04-15: Jughead... does anyone have any suggestions on a nice pair of stands?"My suggestion is that you start a new thread and include the stand height you need. | |
| NOS tubes For my Rhea RWD, you don't need to spend $1,000 for good NOS tubes for your Rhea, and all of the 12ax7 tubes don't have to be as low noise as the V1 and V2 positions, which are the most critical.Another option would be selected modern tubes from Aesthetix or ... | |
| NOS tubes For my Rhea RWD, Do yourself a favor and just call Andy at Vintage Tube Services. He is the only NOS tube supplier that is endorsed by Aesthetix.I have an Aesthetix Calypso and Rhea, both running NOS tubes provided by Andy at Vintage Tube Services. I am very ... | |
| Am i obliged to buy when seller refused at first.. If the Seller refused your offer through the Audiogon messaging system, then later accepted your offer through the Audiogon Offer button you should send Audiogon an e-mail with all of this information, and ask them to refund the $19 and remove the... | |
| Reparation xv1s In addition to Soundsmith you could check with www.phonocartridgeretipping.com. I have had Andy at Phono Cartridge Retipping and Soundsmith both perform work before and have been happy with their work. There is a company in Europe called Expert St... | |
| upgrade or side step IMO a Side step. None are significantly better than the others.If you want an upgrade, IMO you should look for a used Basis 2000 or 2001 with a Rega arm. When funds are available buy a Basis Vector tonearm. That would be a quantum upgrade.If you a... | |
| What speakers for 10k? I think they will sound fine with the equipment you have, but will just be a sideways move. When you really get down to it, if you like fooling around with equipment, do you really want to get to an "end of game" speaker?I think I am there, in tha... |
