Integrityhifi TRU-GLIDER Pendulum Tonearm I have the Tru-Glider and am using it with a DS Audio DS003 cartridge. It is exceptional. The difference in sound between it and the VPI JMW 10.5 with the DS003 is striking. Transients, especially, are reproduced with much more life than any ot... | |
For ARC lovers, Problems? "sigh! spell check. Your due diligence."That probably epitomizes "due diligence"! | |
For ARC lovers, Problems? Very interesting comparisons. As I mentioned, I received my LS28 back from Audio Research after it was upgraded to SE and, before putting it in the system where it normally resides, decided to compare it to the BHK Signature in my other system (p... | |
Manufacturers past their heyday I think the answer is very simple. The heyday of consumer audio was from the late 60's through the mid-80's. The manufacturers who developed a loyal following then and have continued to produce equipment that appeals to that following remain. | |
For ARC lovers, Problems? Too soon I'm afraid. | |
For ARC lovers, Problems? "Does anyone know if ARC is still doing upgrades? I was put on the list to upgrade my LS28 to LS28SE when they announced the upgrade program last June. I inquired about it in December and was told that my upgrade would likely be scheduled for th... | |
New tube preamp As I mentioned above, I was going to do some comparisons between an Audio Research LS28SE and a BHK Signature preamp. I did. Downstream of the preamp the system was BHK Signature 300 monoblocks and Magneplanar 3.7i's. Balanced connections were ... | |
New tube preamp The BHK Signature pre offers a lot of options for tube rolling - uses 12V or 6 or 7V tubes depending on how the jumpers are set. I would certainly try some of the 6V options before replacing it with a different preamp using those tubes. I'm goin... | |
Upscale Audio and Primaluna Interesting. Which Maggies? Most sound best with considerably higher power than the EL34 Dialogue Premium produces. | |
Upscale Audio and Primaluna For me it's a matter of approach. "Goodness" is a relative concept and relative goodness can be expressed in two ways - by extolling one’s virtues or denigrating the virtues of others. Given a choice between buying from a company that employs th... | |
Rogue RP-7 vs. New RP-9 - What's the Difference? @mulveling Just wondering if you might have an update on the RP-9 with the VAC 200iQ amps and how it compares with the Ref 6 with a change in amp and more break-in. Thanks. | |
Best Bike to ride before a good listening session Should have been WAY FUN mountain "e-bike". | |
Best Bike to ride before a good listening session Yamaha YDX Moro Pro. WAY FUN mountain bike. | |
Quality fully automatic turntable with a removable headshell. Does this exist? There are many older fully automatic Duals that can sound very good. And if for the purposes of having others use it many are fully automatic - they will play the record from rest to record end with no need to touch the tonearm. Many also have re... | |
Which amplifier should i buy I’ve read that also about the BHK mono blocks. And do know that I’ve never had them go into protection mode on my Magneplanr 3.7i’s. Could be I just don’t push them hard enough I suppose. |
