| Turntable/Arm/Cartridge Upgrade I've had exactly your analogue setup and upgraded to Michell Gyro SE. I kept RB300 and later-on modded with Incognito kit and Clearaudio heavy counterweight. There were a few cartridges and Lyra Helikon is current. Before I've acquired Benz M.09 f... | |
| HDCD: What do you like? Don't be so heartbroaken about HDCD. HDCD, SACD, XRCD are the limited production sources and certainly in minority of most audiofiles. Let's say in average on every 100 CDs of the average collection only 10 HDCDs. There is a large gap in possibili... | |
| Pete Gabriel and Kate Bush I've had yesterday a dedicated listening session for Pete and Kate for about 5 hours. They're so damn great! | |
| What are the benefits of a SET amp? SET abbreviation means Sentimental Every Time. | |
| Any scientific data on cable burn-in? I've been posting on that issue quite a while ago here and shortly saying there is a micro-diode theory of all conductors. It means that there are impurities of semi-conductive nature that reside inside the chrystalic structure with one-way conduc... | |
| What Have I done? Shorted an amp? In my case only output fuse will be blown if such thing take place. I know in Creek amps such event is fatal to an output circuit and even toroidal output transformer(sometimes to be on the safe side the time delay circuitry might be handy)If chan... | |
| Time to get things straight. It's all true, Sean, but however the vast part of analogue performance depends on turntable rather than the arm meaning that Rega is nothing worth but the arm. | |
| Interconnects for tube equipment? Nirvana cables for Jolida -> Rogue Tempest???????????Do these cables make sence at all?In your case, Papageorgio you can even stay under $200 and won't get wrong since for pair of Nirvana cables you can probably get used EMC1 instead of Jolida.... | |
| Speakers Needed: Audiophile Taste - Low Budget Getting Vandersteens 1B or 1C is the great idea if you can stretch some room for them. Also check out Totem Arro that are tiny-tiny but the slam and the music realy can come out from them. Their new price is a-bit more than $1k but used you can ge... | |
| Cheap, effective, and best of all EASY... I've been also thinking plugging in such "pigtale" into existing hole, but my amps are too close to the wall and the power cord will not fit. I've threaded the VanDenHul Mainstream cord instead of stock and soldered it directly to the power switch... | |
| New Vinyl - Preferred labels? I havn't much of the new vinyl but I've bought Tom Waits "Swordfishtrombones" pressed by Simply Vinyl 1/2speed and was realy amazed by its great performance that combines quietness of CDs and true analogue imaging and resolution. | |
| Biamping B&W Nautilus 803's If you will make it with literacy and with knowledge of that issue you might unbelievably succeed. I've had a previous discussion and also read some theoretical bases of successful biamping and reveal to you what I'm currently aiming for:Having a ... | |
| If you bought a Linn Karik that arrived DOA.. If you didn't send it for service yet, please chill out.In most cases you should face that either you should send it back overseas for warranty service or just count on unexpected situations like yours.Just recently, I was surfing through the web ... | |
| Time to get things straight. I've had Rega P3 for a few weeks and realized that it was a mistake for me not to pass on Rega for more serious analogue equipment. Rega played fine only on the first groves of the record but then everything degraded and any of my cartridge mounti... | |
| with SME309: Dyna 10X4, Clearaudio Aurum or what? Now I can speak another language:There are many people that visited this webpage and didn't regret. There are used prices on brand-spanking-new analogue and other audio equipment on www.stoneaudio.co.uk. Even including the cost of shipping you sti... |
