| TT: Aries or Delphi V I have an Aries. One thing to consider is that a JMW-12 actually fits on a standard size Aries. I have one mounted but can only use 2 of the 3 mounting holes on the arm board. I did compare the JMW12 with the 10 and found the 12 to give a more acc... | |
| sweet spot hell Actually, as Aragain says, toe-ing in to a point IN FRONT of the listening position has the effect of widening the sweet spot. If you'd like a wider sweet spot, this is the best way to achieve it. Of course it will be suboptimal for the listening ... | |
| Room correction in high-end system??? Carl, thanks for the feedback. One more thing that I forgot to mention is that my Sonic Frontiers Transport 3 and Processor 3 work optimally when connected through the IS2E digital interface. I would have to give this up so would probably change t... | |
| Sony SCD1 vs. Mark Lev 37 as transports A couple of more points. I spoke to Sonic Frontiers on Friday and they told me their future plans. They are going to be offering an upsampling upgrade for the Processor 3 within two months. Expected upgrade price is $1895. AThey are designing an S... | |
| Sony SCD1 vs. Mark Lev 37 as transports Darrell, to answer the question directly, given the two choices of the original question, I'd definitely go with the SCD-1 because the Lev 37 would be sub-optimal for the money. But, I still stick by my recommendation of the SF Transport 3 for opt... | |
| Sony SCD1 vs. Mark Lev 37 as transports Hi Jel, If SACD isn't important to you, you will not mate a better transport to the SF P3 than the SF T3. Those two were designed as a pair and have the IS2E interface. IS2E is better than standard interfaces because it uses a timing signal from t... | |
| I heard the new 777ES SACD player Did Sony mention any plans for another high-end player? I hoping they'll put out something that loads faster but has superlative sonics. | |
| Monitors are falling When our son was born, my wife made me sell my beloved Dynaudio Confidence 5s to get something more stable. I now had another criteria to add to my auditions: Stability. Fortunately, although a little higher priced, the Talon Khoruses fit the bill... | |
| Where to buy new rock LP s? When perusing ebay, I have noticed that a lot of punk stuff is out on vinyl. Why is this? I can understand hip-hop and club releases on vinyl (for DJs), but why punk and core? Does VPI's biggest customer base have mowhawks and homemade patches?I'm... | |
| buyers/sellers that DEFAULT on contract Hmmmm, I've also had deals fall apart. In fact one of the "high n mighty" posters IN THIS THREAD wrote an e-mail saying "I definately want these cables, tell me how much shipping will be to ... and I will have a check ready." I sent the shipping a... | |
| Kimber Select I bought some of my Kimber Select KS1130s from Accujim to replace my Nordost Quattro Fils! Maybe we should have just traded. This is a lesson in preferences and system synergy. I much PREFER the KS1130 to the QF in MY SYSTEM. | |
| Blindfold test Don't know where "euroe" came from. It should say "those". Ethnic-Freudian slip maybe? | |
| Blindfold test Krycek, I have to disagree with your general premise. For many people, the hobby IS improving your system. It is often also about excess. MANY people here pay more for their speaker cables than most do for their main system and big-screen TV combi... | |
| SCD-1 can be purchased at 2850 new. Where??? | |
| Reasonably priced 2K Phono Preamp? I love my BAT VK-P5 which retails for $2k, but can be had for $1200 used. I compared it in a long term audition to the $5000 Aesthetix Io and when maintenance costs were factored in, I could not justify the $3k for such a small improvement. The Io... |
