| Which integrated amp? I had a Xindak 6950 that was replaced with BAT’s VK-300x and, even though the BAT was a little more refined and had much better bass control, I still missed the Xindak timbre. Voices were more palpable and it was warmer overall, the BAT was darker... | |
| Transfiguration Proteus: questions and comparisons Dear Nadric,Thank you for your reply. I’m missing a phono that provides me with Allaert’s high recommended loading, though... Otherwise, I’m really curious about it and also about VDH’s Colibri. I’ve never heard any of those European carts. Best,Luiz | |
| Cartridges: Complete Scam? @chakster and @lewm,Thank you for your replies! I should have written that there are huge differences between new cheap and expensive LOMC cartridges. I did not intend to compare what seems to be apples and oranges to me (vintage carts and new car... | |
| Transfiguration cartridges. What tube phono stages would you use them with ? I have spent a fair amount of time with a Zanden 1300 (Phoenix S cart) and it was very, very impressive. A lot of meat and dynamics with a huge soundstage, but somehow more grainy and not as fast and neutral as with the BMC MCCI that I ended up ke... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Fusian,Meets the Rhythm Session is one of my all time favorites! I found out about Art Pepper and this recording with Miles' band in my late teens. An audiophile friend of my dad burned me a CD-R back then... To this day, I´m still struggling to f... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thank you for the warm welcome, guys. I was listening to another gem today: The LA 4 - Pavane Pour Une Infante Defunte. Outstanding Japanese pressing of a Neumann Direct Cut recording session at Warner Bros Studios. This one was quite hard to get,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hey guys, this is my first post here! This thread is quite long so please excuse me if this album has already been mentioned, but Herbie Hancock's Speak Like a Child (the Music Matters 45rpms is what I got) is my hidden treasure. I love "Riot", wh... |
