| Graham Phantom Supreme? Too bad Graham didn't put a detent on the center of the pivot cap so that I could use my feikert. Anyone have an idea how to measure for the exact center point so that I could make my own detent ? I am going to inquire with Graham directly about t... | |
| The search among the great ones - 20k+ speakers You might consider the Verity Audio Parsifal, Amadis, and Sarastro II. | |
| Atma-Sphere MA-2 amplifier The ".1" upgrade is genuinely significant - more so than the numeric designation might suggest. Taking my MA-1s from 3 -> 3.1, I was impressed with the improved quietude and audible reduction of distortion, which cashed out as superior intonati... | |
| SME V aftermarket cable? With the SME V, I use the Silver Breeze from Silver Audio. Excellent, something of a bargain for the results delivered, imo. | |
| Conrad Johnson 17LS Power Cord Recommendations >>I tried a Shunyata CX cord, which made the sound brighter and edgier.<<>>The after market options typically add cost without any audible improvement. <<Hmmm ... contra my experience on both counts. Granted the stock 16-ga... | |
| Wilson Audio paint problems >>That doesn't mean there is no sonic effect, just that you can't hear it. <<Peter: How would you detect a sonic effect you cannot hear? How did you get to a crack in the cabinet from what is described as a crack in the paint?---------... | |
| Wilson Audio paint problems Sorry to hear there is a problem - is it on both speakers? If you are in Thailand and you purchased the speakers from the US, are they considered 'grey market'? Do you have a local Wilson dealer? | |
| Teres Tonearm Help Send a note to Chris Brady, he is helpful. Since Teres sells their VTA adapter with their own arm, I'll speculate it can still be bought separately. Your MMT is a good budget arm - maybe worth a try in the interim. | |
| Must Hear Speakers in $10K range Those Avalons look like they're 6-8ft out into the room, though thats a guess on my part. I've heard no better soundstage or pristine imaging than from Audio Physic. To show their virtues they prefer to be out into the room somewhat in a near-fiel... | |
| Whatever happened to Audio Physic? Cardeus ? Once AP founder and chief designer Joachim Gerhard sold the company several years agao, it hasn't had the same notoriety/success it found in the 90s. | |
| David Berning Quadrature Z or Vitus SS-101 I've not heard the Vitus but had the Quadrature Z in my system for a week or so. The Berning amp has the vitality, transparency and illumination of a fine OTL. (Won't debate whether it actually *is* an OTL). It revealed layers of harmonic nuance -... | |
| Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System One of the disturbing findings I had was that using it after I had cleaned records with the Walker Prelude and vacuumed it with the Delrin tubed VPI record cleaner. It was improved greatly. Also doing the reverse, greatly improved the sound???Than... | |
| Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System I watched the video and this is a fascinating machine. Truly we are in the Golden Age of Recording Cleaning!Does the device employ multiple fluid steps? Can you use any fluid or fluids with it or is there special AudioDesk Vinyl Cleaner fluid? Tha... | |
| Shuguang Treasure tubes.... Well after 100 plus hours on the New CV181-z. I think they went to soft for me. They sound a little dark to my ears compared NOS Mullards ECC32 The new CV181-Z are good but to me not as good as the NOS Mullards but this is just in my system.My exp... | |
| Classic records reissue - very disappointing I believe the following is circa mid-2007 from a Classic Records newsletter written by Mike Hobson. I've inserted a few additional paragraph breaks to make it more readable.--------------The Long and Winding Road to a Classic Vinyl RecordThe long ... |
