| Vienna Acoustics Mozarts are rated 6 Ohms ? ? ? I have VA Mozarts as well and can tell you that Stereophile did a complete review back in Jan 1997. There was an impedance vs. frequency response plot that showed the curve over the frequency spectrum of the speaker. I have pulled out the review (... | |
| My highest praise - for Audiogon I have the greatest contempt for auction sales. In my opinion the only thing an auction does is push the price on an item above a fair price. This has been the case with everything that I have bid on because the reserve price is always set at the ... | |
| Which phono preamp? I have a have had a black cube, an EAR, a wavelength cotangent, Cary, Etc. I have ended up with 2 Naim stagelines. Find a used naim Hi-cap power supply and get the Stageline new for $350.00 you will not be disappointed. This thing gets at the soul... | |
| What turntable for 1000 Find a REGA 25 used on this site. At around $900.00 it can't be touched. That is, if music is your game and not just another Hi-fi sounding kit. Just my $.02 JC | |
| Who's hip to the Nottingham line of Turntables??? I had a VPI and a SOTA before I got the Notts Spacedeck/spacearm combo. Whilest the VPI was better than the SOTA to my ears in playing tunes the Spacedeck is more faithful still. It just has an undefinable hold on the music in a way that makes all... | |
| best entry phono stage under 150 new or used You can find a used parasound for under $100.00 I had one of these and it compared more closely to my $1900.00 Naim phono section than any of the Creeks, NAD, or sumiko,Good luck,JC | |
| Noise from Rega P3/RB300/Dynavector DV20X-L It doesn't surprise me that you are still getting noise from the Rotel. Not to say that it isn't a good phono preamp, but it costs a lot more to build a sufficiently quiet MC gain stage. Most MM stages are quite simple and can be powered from a wa... | |
| cartridge for rega 25,Sonic Frontiers SFP-1 The Dynavector 10X4MKII has been my chice for a very musical cartridge. I really can't fault it much, may not have the last ounce of detail but very toe tapping with great bass. Puts out 2.5mv so will work with all phono stages set up for moving m... | |
| A reasonable integrated w/ remote - possibly tube? If you want to go really cheap you just gotta take a listen to the Antique Sound lab MG-S115DT This thing is very musical and is really cheap. A buddy of mine bought one new for $599.00 And I tell you it is very enjoyable. Kinda makes you scratch ... | |
| Sota reflex clamp problems On early SOTA reflex clamps there is a screw that is accessible from the bottom.It's reccessed at the center where the clamp fits over the spindle. You can turn this brass screw to increase or decrease the tension but you have to hold the center p... | |
| Stealth Ultimate Ribbon Speaker cables.. How Good? I have been listening to Nordost Red Dawns for a few years now and though a few other designs may have wooed me with a bigger soundstage or more precise imaging, for me the more musical sounding Red Dawns have always satisfied. they also can be ha... | |
| Need help on cartridge recommendation, under 500. At $350.00 the Dynavector 10X4MII is very hard to beat. Not quite as revealing as the 20X, but very musical and non-fatiguing. If you shop around it can be had for a song. | |
| Nottingham any good? I own the Nottingham Analog Spacedeck with Spacearm. I have not enjoyed my vinyl collection more in my 20yrs of listening to analog playback. I have had the Linn LP-12 a SOTA and a REGA planar 3. The Spacedeck has a very natural presentation and d... | |
| Best Phono stage under $1200? Audiomat? I'm using a Wavelength Audio Cotangent phono preamp. I also tried out the Audio Research PH-3 and the Sonice frontiers phono 1 and the Black Cube from lehmann and found the Wavelength to have a very engaging delivery. It is dynamic and very quiet ... | |
| Problem with tube preamp - any help... Turn down the volume, turn off the mute switch. Check all connections. Enjoy! |
