| Anybody here got a leftover Naim 555PS regulator after upgrade to DR version? The problem is I have an unknown condition CDS3 and I need a mockup PSU to check if the player is worth the trouble. I think I can build something akin to Teddy but would need a simple solution first to check viability of the whole enterprise. get... | |
| Oracle CD2500 MKI I don't see that MKII on any site , Can you post link ? Philips CD-pro drives are not available for many years now. All you have are crapshot substitutes and when the NOS drive appears on the market it's a $1k part. ,,,, | |
| Oracle CD2500 MKI I perfectly know I can do better. It's a case of having old Oracle Delphi V and period matching player on display for occasional spin so audio concern is a secondary issue in this case. The seller is basing his estimate on Bluebook value and ther... | |
| Oracle CD2500 MKI Player is too old and I can't see anything in history of sales . There were MKII years ago and MKIV which is a different thing altogether except for the look. | |
| Soundsmith re-tips received today I'm also very happy customer , and also well over 60 like you guys and bright, tipped up carts are blessing . With SS carts I don't even have to use my hearing aid most of the time ... | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? Have your EAR fitted with better parts. The ones which are there total maybe at $20 wholesale including power transformer.My deepest respect to design talent of TdP. It's a unique sounding unit and I repeat someones else opinion that I happen to s... | |
| Grado Sonata, Signature 8MZ, Shure V15VXMR Grados match very well with heavy arms , usually sound uninspiring to say the least on Rega arms and low output Sonata (Sonata Statement) with it's 0.5mV output and 2 Ohm of internal impedance needs either step up transformer or MC capable SS phon... | |
| Grado Sonata, Signature 8MZ, Shure V15VXMR To a degree I'd tend to agree with Stringreen . To get Sonata (low output ) to sound half decent you need a heavy arm (Rega is a bad match. You can use it adding 15-20g of weight to the headshell and combination of counterweights) and a nice step ... | |
| Proac E.B.S Extended Bass Studio 3 Thanks! Actually the sound in this provisory setup is not that bad . ATC SB75-234 woofer is not going that low anyway and specs on the speakers are 50-23kz _+ 2dB . As with all/most studio monitors they are little too aggresive on top in home envi... | |
| Acoustic Solid main bearing oil Thank YOu for response. The table in question is not mine. It belongs to a friend. Table was moved a few times , each time platter was off and bearing wiped. It is pretty much dry by now. US distributor is a nice helpful guy but he says Acoustic S... | |
| Complete newbie needing guidance/purchase advice The last thing you want, is to subscribe to any forum and ask for advice or read any of the advertising (audio) magazines. Geez, forgive me but, how come as a musician you can't asses something as trivial as quality of sound of particular piece of... | |
| Do not buy any Sonus Faber used It is and excerpt from yesterdays "important notice" posted by Sumiko on Audiogon. It caught my attention because I was looking to buy some Sonus Faber monitors. I'm not sure how closely they're going to enforce the policy (the part about a proof ... | |
| Denon DL 103 vs DL 103R I did not hear Denons but for me Grado Sonata and Grace 707 is a no go. I had it on Thorens TD124 and it sounded like $50 NOT $500 cart . It didn't work with REga RB1000 neither (nor with Denon Da-401). Some people though liked DL-103 with Grace. ... | |
