| My personal experience with Direct Drive versus Belt Drive I had a very highly regarded belt drive TT for the last 4 years and loved it. I now have a new DD TT with coreless motor and it just blows away my old belt drive TT. There are also too many variables here to make a good direct comparison between t... | |
| Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need. I agree with pryso, my Janszen zA2.1 speakers are keepers. Other gear has rotated in and out of my room until now. I have found the perfect amp and pre to complement these wonderful speakers. | |
| Shuguang Black Treasure CV181-Z I have a pair of the BT CV-181-Z and I prefer the Sylvania's of course that could change depending on preamp. The manufacturer of my favorite preamp just changed the circuit and added a jumper so that I can use 6NS7 or 12SN7's. I have found an abu... | |
| $5,000 to spend for analog front end - advice please...:) I just bought a Technics SL1200GAE and it sounds much better than my VPI Scout 1.1 but it doesn't leave much $ for a phono stage and cart. | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Calloway,well said, I couldn't agree more . I purchased another set of speaker cables and interconnects today. Time to recable a second system. | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... I don't have as much experience as some of you here. I now have a new SL1200GAE and about 25 hours on the ART9. I am loving this combo. Running my Parasound JC3+ at 100 Ohms. I can only compare to my last set up which includes VPI Scout 1.1 and So... | |
| What's your favorite album cover art ? Mahogany Rush, Strange Universe | |
| I took the plunge - PS Audio Stellar DAC and S300 140 watts are more than enough for 92db speakers | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables A layman speaking here. I'm not concerned with the scientific jibber jabber. I know the impact these cables have made in my system and my ears are very happy. I also like Bob. He is a classy guy. | |
| Time for a new tube system. Look at the look at the Linear Tube Audio ZOTL40. They also have them in mono blocks.Lance | |
| Pass Labs XP-30 vs Krell Evo 202 Ok, I'm going to get laughed at but you'll never know unless you try it. I know of someone that replaced his Pass XP-30 with a Linear Tube Audio MZ2-S designed by David Berning and says it's better. You will laugh because of the huge difference in... | |
| New Technics SL 1200 GAE My SL1200GAE came in and then the AT ART9 showed up. Got the cart installed this morning. I've heard this cart will take some time to fully break-in but with the first hour of play I can say with confidence that this TT kills my VPI Scout 1.1 with... | |
| Speaker Cable Burn in Companies One of these days I would like to have a cable cooker but maybe I can talk my local audio club into buying one. We could pass it around.I have enjoyed buying and selling components, cables, etc. to this outstanding community. I have never had a pr... | |
| Technics Grand Class 1200 SL-GAE I just pulled the trigger and purchased the SL1200GAE. Galen Carols last one. I will find out by how much it outperforms my VPI Scout 1.1 | |
| Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp? Mark Schneider (owner of LTA) told me this and I don't think he'll mind me quoting him:"The ZOTL circuitry is complex and like no other tube amplifier. It is an advance in tube technology. Which is why it sounds more musical and realistic than alm... |
