| Seeking Suggestions on Preamp Upgrade (CJ, Aesthetix, EAR) David - there is a VAC Ren Signature on the A-Gon listing right now that would be perfect with your PASS and fit your budget easily as well. Do NOT hesitate as this is a great pre at at great price (no affiliation, just a very happy VAC owner) | |
| Vinyl and subwoofers just a quick thought here. Not being familiar with ARC phono stages, I am wondering IF the phono stage is inverting phase, which might account for the subwoofer's odd performance when playing vinyl vs the same sub working fine when playing other ... | |
| Cardas Neutral reference IC Verses Analyisis plus Solo Crystal oval IC I see no one is willing to chime in here, so I will help. Cards Neutral Reference is a fairly balanced cable that has a bit of warmth in the midst and good harmonics throughout. The A+ Solo Crystal cables behave almost similarly to silver cables... | |
| Clamp or Weight Suggestions for a MMF9.1 HI Ryan - I used to have the same table and found that the Herbies Audio "Way Excellent" turntable mat was a huge upgrade in sound. I also used and can recommend the HRS Analog Disk (record weight) as working well with this table to further enhan... | |
| Audio Desk Systeme RCM - what's been your experience? Let me join in here with my experience of the Audio Desk. I have had a machine for a little over 4 years and have cleaned more than 1500 lp's. It is a very complex machine which makes it simple/great for the user but it does mean there are lots o... | |
| Tonearm Rewiring Vendor Recommendation Hi JB - I would contact Michael Wharton at Brit Audio (www.britaudio.com) for the job. He does exceptional work and is very reasonable. | |
| Two Shelf Amp Stand? I have a 2 shelf Sistrum rack for my BAT mono amps and it works nicely and didn't cost an arm and a leg. Adjustable height is a plus as well. | |
| HELP WITH A PREAMP DECISION It is really doubtful that you could EVER find a preamp that is better than the Veloce, It might be tie to replace the tubes OR it might be time to replace the batteries ( which can also make it sound a bit hard), but I certainly would not change ... | |
| Spdif cable construction. HI Kev - I am at a loss to try and understand how re-clocking data in any way offsets the digital reflections that occur when the SPDIF cable is too short. It might be "Advisable" to talk audio with people that actually know audio. | |
| Interesting way to wire speakers…??? Hi Steve - your photo shows this to be single wired and not bi-wired. Should result in no issues at first, but the bare wire will oxidize fairly quickly and performance will degrade. The solution for that would be to use silver or silver plated wi... | |
| Audio Desk & it's service I don't know who the importer/distributor is for you in Malasia, but the US importer is great with responding to emails and handling the occasional problem with the RCM. I suggest that you contact them via email at ultra@ultrasystem.som and I am s... | |
| How Do You Feel about The Cable Game? Ozzy - someone should have explained to you that Synergistic Research has a lifetime "passport" upgrade program that provides you with 70% of the price you paid for your older S/R cables towards the price of brand new S/R cables. It is one of the ... | |
| New mid level Turntable / cart / phono pre system You should be able to get a VPI Prime turntable/3d arm with the SDS speed controller, a Soundsmith Zephyr II cartridge, the Soundsmith CounterIntuitive and a Musical Surroundings Phenomina II phono stage ( which would be a very good setup) and sta... | |
| Speaker buzz with SS amplifier, input disconnected Hi Brian- I had a similar issue with BAT monos a while ago. I would get a hum with the speakers connected and no input connected to the amp. Your amps were designed to run with XLR input and the amp will hum if there is no device plugged into the ... | |
| Cardas clear reflection interconnect Think of the Clear Reflection as being an improved Golden Reference - in other words, better high frequency extenstion with less grain, better low frequency pitch control and a slight bit less "midrangie" orientation of the presentation. Clear Ref... |
