| Audia flight protection mode Dinster, glad to hear that your AF is back and running great. I also purchased mine used and worry about repairs in the future if needed. So far it sounds great. I leave it in standby mode so I don't have to reach around the back of the power supp... | |
| SDS or phono stage I had a Classic 1 with a Zepher mk1. When I purchased the SDS, I thought it improved the sound quality enough to keep it. I notice the improvement more with the power conditioning that it does than the speed control. I do have the SDS plugged into... | |
| XLR or RCA? Elegal, I found more of a difference using an upgraded cable than between using XLR vs RCA connections. Using the same upgraded cable into my C2300, I preferred the XLR. As you know if you are using the phono stage on the C2300, you need to use RCA | |
| Best mm cart for VPI scout/jmv-9 memorial arm I had a Sound Smith Zepher on my VPI Classic TT. It was made for VPI unipivot arms. It was even labeled VPI on the cartridge. I thought it sounded great. | |
| B&W 803d and Luxman L-505ux I used to own the 803d's a few years ago and liked them a lot. I thought they sounded good with my Pioneer M91, 200 watts per channel, better with my McIntosh MC352, still better with two MC352's biamped and best with 2 MC601 monos. I found for me... | |
| Audioquest vs Acoustic Zen AZ Absolute Copper interconnect fan here. Tried a pair on my CDP and then replaced all of my interconnects with them. I have Hologram II speaker cables going to my AZ Crescendo's. Magic with keeping everything AZ. | |
| Marantz TT 15 vs Clearaudio Concept I also owned the Marantz TT15 for about 6-12 months. This table got me back into vinyl in a big way. I never had any problems with it. I thought it sounded better than my CD player. It just made me want to get more into analog. I changed to a VPI ... | |
| Hum with VPI SDS Classic 3 I had some hum with my SDS and Classic 1. The SDS was to close to the TT. When I moved the SDS further away from the TT the hum went away. | |
| McIntosh C2300 phono input Goldorak, I have a C2300 going into my MC601's and like what I hear. I did switch the stock tubes in the line and phono stage and think it is an improvement. I just purchased an Audia Flight phono stage and will be comparing it with the C2300's ph... | |
| Amp Recommendations for AZ Crescendo I am using SS McIntosh MC601 mono's with my Crescendo's. I think they sound great. When I listened to the Crescendo's at Acoustic Zen in San Diego, Robert Lee had them hooked up with a pair of SS Red Dragon monos. He had them set up in a very larg... | |
| Zen Crescendo or 5a...will they work in my room? Soundqcar, I have Crescendo's in my room which is 22x15 with a sloped 9' to 17' ceiling. I think it sounds fantastic. I have never heard the Vandersteen's. The Crescendo's put out excellent bass, I even got rid of my 2 JL F113's and am just using ... | |
| Review: Acoustic Zen Matrix II and Hologram Interconnect I purchased a pair of AZ Absolute Copper interconnects on Mr. Lee's recommendation. I was so impressed with them that I replaced all of my interconnects with them. Stopping by Mr. Lee's facility in San Diego and listening to his Crescendo speakers... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo Mcondon, my Crescendo's are in my 15' x 22' family room and sound great. They replaced my PMC EB1i's that were similar sized 3 way transmission line speakers. I love these Crescendo's. I am in Albany, NY if you are ever in the area. | |
| Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper Interconnect Dogmcd and Darkj, I can't begin to describe the AZ Absolute Copper interconnects as well as you do, but I do agree with you. I was using another high end interconnect and needed a longer one. I have been using AZ Satori Shotgun's and Hologram II's... | |
| B&W 803D - Best amplifiers to drive them Kelpie, I owned the 803d for about 2 years and loved them. They do like lots of power though. I originally had a McIntosh MC352 connected to them and it sounded great. I bought a second MC352 and biamped them and they sounded even better. I finall... |
