| 508 18 bit upgrade or just add a dac, benchmark? Seanbaik,I'm with you man! I'd get a shotgun and pull a Kurt Cobain if I had to listen to smooth jazz! I remember some old audiophile who had me over to show off his system and he played the GRP All-Stars (don't ask just be very afraid) and it nea... | |
| 508 18 bit upgrade or just add a dac, benchmark? One thing that I wanted to point out was that a lot of the above bands mentioned produced better sounding music than various CD issues would have us believe. Joy Division LP's sound fine as do the first couple PIL records. In fact if you have Meta... | |
| Will Wadio ever make an SACD player? After 5 years and someone's trumpeting 2700 titles available? I got more titles than that on CD right here in this room. Hell, I could buy more than 2700 brand new LP titles right now. I don't see any reason for Wadia to pony up the money for SACD... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Hey Artar! Glad to have you back. Interesting purchase, I have heard great things about the Moerch arm. My X-mas was uneventful, I worked. I went to Detroit the week before and a record store that I used to go to in Ann Arbor and thought long gone... | |
| Pin out on Benz Micro ACE Low Red Just figured that I'd chime in that this is the same as my ACE High output. That makes the hat trick for answers..... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path You mean, you think, that it's possible that Artar is actually "Listening to Music" instead of hanging out here on the audiothreads!!! For shame! He's the one that got us into this mess in the first place. I'm still wrangling with work to take the... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Yeah Artar! What happened? I have passed out several times holding my breath while waiting for your announcement. Unless yr scared to tell us that you got a twin pack of Technics direct drives and are now MC Artar!I have been slaving to pay off th... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Artar? Come back here buddy! You can't taunt me with your purchase then not fess up to what it is! Come on man!Frank,I was wondering what the sonic differences between the two materials would be? I am very interested in the Model 2. I had read tha... | |
| Sonic Frontiers SFP-1 Upgrades I can't really answer your question. I have a Sonic Frontiers SFP-1 Signature that I am about to send out to the Parts Connexion for some upgrading. I have a SF 2 Power Amp and think that the SF components are fine. Everything I have read (there i... | |
| Have anyone seen these speakers? Or system? I'm not so sure that you are correct. They are ART for sure, but a bad translation of the text discusses some of the technology that he uses in these. There is a Thorens turntable inside the chest of the King of Audio. The speakers are Goodman Axx... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Artar,You're right about all the things that you say about the rack, I am hearing the decay after the notes and this makes the totality of the listening experience that much more profound. I tend to just feel like I am listening to music, and thou... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Artar,Glad to hear from you. I had an okay Thanksgiving. I listened to records all day long. Caught up on some magazine reading (no, not Stereophile, Artforum actually). Didn't check this thread or else I would of answered sooner. I have been emai... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Well, this thread has been a little dead but since we left off with the rack scenario I figured that I would report my findings. I have been living with the Grand Prix Audio Monaco stand for 6 days now and couldn't be happier. I would say that the... | |
| LP collection management...what do you guys do? Reading your post I get the sense that your question is not so much "how do you keep track of your collection" but "is there a method to determining what you have, what you want and if the former should fund the latter". The answer to this depends... | |
| Which LP pressing is best? Be aware that on ebay everybody throws around "mint" and "near mint" with impunity. Or the prevalent "Excellent". Since ebay is too lame to force people to all adhere to one standard for grading records you get a variety of descriptors for LP cond... |
