| Rumble from Thorens 160 how to eliminate? I would be more suspicious of airborn and/or mechanical isolation induced vibrations causing you to hear the rumble as opposed to the bearing. Just as the previous posters have mentioned. Unless you have a Thorens TP series arm, a mismatch from ca... | |
| New Rickie Lee Jones CD Balm of Gilead is indeed another superb effort reminiscent of her self titled album to me.Amazing sonics also for a redbook cd. I also look forward to a release on Vinyl at some point. Maybe MoFi as well!Along with this new cd..I picked up one of ... | |
| which is better ? MC phono stage or MM+step-up ? My short answer is that some will say that adding another "step" along the way by inserting a setp-up tranny is the wrong approach to good sound, preferring to keep the signal un-adulaterated by not running such a low level signal through miles of... | |
| Are anti-cable interconnects properly shielded? There are scores of good quality cables that are made (purposely) without any shielding. Those manufactures are of the opinion that shielding does more harm than good, (robbing dynamics and openness for example) especially if RF is not an issue fo... | |
| Best Amp with Magnepan 3.6's Bryston is all you need. Im with Markwatkiss here. Even the 4BST is a nice combo with a good tube pre amp. | |
| Lyra Argo i tracking force I got better results by setting VTF a bit higher than the recommended 1.7-1.8. I used 2.0g on my VPI Scoutmaster with 9 arm. and used 1.85 on my modded AR ES-1 with Linn Ittok LV II arm.I experimented with VTA and found a slightly lower rear arm p... | |
| Red Wine 30.2 vs. Bryston 4B SST2 I get what your saying, however, once again as cited in many-a-post, it becomes a matter of the speaker /amp interface, and even with the first 2-10 watts, it will matter greatly on the speaker/amp. So, which amp is meaningless here.Battery or AC ... | |
| Hi Output MC cartridge recommendations? Dynavector 10X5 or DV-20X-H | |
| Preamp with phono stage for under $1000 "At the outer limits of your budget the Audible Illusion Modulus 3 with the gold phono card it the all time classic and IMHO the one to beat in this price range. (They typically go for @1200...worth the extra $$ if you ask me.)"Agree...and with th... | |
| Zu Essence vs Devore Nine vs Maggies maggies | |
| An honest opinion about upgrading? Normally, I would suggest you optimize what you have and treat your room to get the most of your soncis, but in your case, I completely agree with Shadorne..you need substantially more power for the Paradigms to sing. | |
| Forward Monitor with Detail Speed and liquid Highs Harbeths are really good..smooth but more laid back than you may want.. Totem One more forward but less smooth. | |
| which side is phono on the AI 3A.. Yes. That's correct | |
| Micro Acoustics vs Grace F-9 MM's Tommy...do you mean the MA or the Grace? | |
| Is there a break in period for a re-tipped cart? This would be a question for the re-tipper. Since many times a re-tip is actually a re-build of the cart, depending upon if there is damage within the cart engine, I would think some break-in would allow the cart to perform better with some signal... |
