| Micro Max 282 vs. Exclusive EA-10 Dear Thuchan and Dertonarm- Appreciate your thoughts on the silver Ikeda wire for the Max 282. I should receive it this week and we may have a listen to it for a few weeks. I have a Dynavector XV 1S just back from Soundsmith and I may try this car... | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Thuchan- I believe the group marketing the EMT products are very professional and dedicated to quality. I cannot speak for the sales in the USA, but perhaps the reason they are not as popular as in Europe or Asia has more to due with buying habits... | |
| Micro Max 282 vs. Exclusive EA-10 Daniel and Eckert-I recently purchased a Max 282 and am reading this thread with great interest. Have either of you heard the Kondo silver wire vs the Ikeda silver? Since it is now clear that they need to be rewired, I certainly want to maximize i... | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Eckert- It seems like everything in audio carries at premium if it is a little special. In my experience with the Technics, both the Mk II and III, the biggest gains in performance were realized with the right plinth. I believe the arm board alone... | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Eckert-The secret with the Garrard is the base. The stock 501 was sourced from Loricraft with a very mediocre base, which robbed dynamics. In a proper Panzerholst or slate foundation, north of 70 lbs, you might have a different opinion of the 501 ... | |
| Stealth Hyperphono vs. Silver Audio Silver Breeze? Although I have no experience with the Silver Breeze, I am currently using the Hyperphono and it is stunning; besting several other highly respected designs. My system electronics are entirely tube based with Purist Anniversary cables and the Hype... | |
| How is LAMM LP2 compares to the more recent phono I am using this phono stage and cannot say enough about its transparency, speed, low noise and ability to strip away artifacts as noted by Syntax and to that also add its excellent bass response. There is a natural directness to the music that is ... | |
| What is the best phono preamp you have heard? Crubio-On paper it is promising but have you heard this unit?Has anyone else? | |
| What is the best phono preamp you have heard? I have yet to hear a best phono stage...I own/owned a few good ones: the Aesthetix-Eclipse and Signature both with 2 power supplies and NOS tubes, Lamm lp2 deluxe with Western Electric 417a tubes, Allnic, Manley Steelhead, VAC Renaissance, etc...b... | |
| Dynaudio C-1 or Harbeth-7-es-III Taters, If you decide on C-1's you have excellent electronics for them to show their stuff, unless you are in an enormous room. A good vinyl setup and good cables also compliment them quite well. Also the harbeth's should benefit from the quality ... | |
| Dynaudio C-1 or Harbeth-7-es-III To be clear, yesterday, I did not intend to imply the Harbeth 5's or 7's have a better midrange than the C-1's. Ryder is in the right track by describing them as organic, I would say euphoric, which implies slight coloration, though immensely plea... | |
| Dynaudio C-1 or Harbeth-7-es-III I own C-1's and have owned Harbeth 7 es III and SHL-5's. I have huge respect for both Harbeth models and have enjoyed both of them, though the metal tweeter in the 7 es at times can be metallic. The midrange, however, is sublime.As noted by Nolita... | |
| Lamm LP2 and WE417A tubes Herman- I can see why you think they are being shifty; the marketing for the LP 2 certainly could be more prescise, but having owned Lamm products and receiving support from the factory would lead me to give them the benefit of the doubt.Valdamir ... | |
| Lamm LP2 and WE417A tubes I currently own the LP 2 Deluxe with WE 417a tubes and find their performance improves resolution vs the stock Raytheons. I believe Lamm designed it for the WE 417a and intended at one point to put these tubes in the LP12, but their cost and micro... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Dbcooper and Mikelevine- good clean power is part and parcel to having great performance. Anything you can do to push the envelope is a net gain in micro detail and resolution. You can't have too much of a good thing. Unfortunately, the quality of... |
