| Michell Engineering TT users; Orbe or Gyro why Excellent over all of the rest? Just got back into analog after a 34 years absence. TT is a Michell Engineering GyroDec (not the SE, full plinth/cover version) with an SME IV and Clearaudio Maestro V2 Ebony cartridge. I have no comparison with other TT setups. However, to my ear... | |
| Just starting to look for 4K Bluray player Second the Oppo UDP-205. Works perfectly for me, the upgrade from HD to UHD is very noticeable. | |
| 2 Channel audio room chair ideas I agree, the Eames lounge chair is hard to beat for comfort and looks. | |
| Moving from 120 VAC to 220 VAC operation on Krell monoblocks I had (stupidest thing I have ever done, selling it) a Krell KSA-250 power amp. Used it in Europe on 220V/50Hz and in the USA 110V/60Hz and can't honestly say I noticed any difference in sound quality. How I miss that amp! | |
| Upgrade the projector or projector screen? No doubt about it, upgrade the projector. For $5k you will be able to buy a used Sony 4k projector. I recently went from HD (Sony VPL-HW65ES ) to UHD/4k (Sony VPL-VW665ES). The difference in resolution and general image quality is staggering. | |
| Isolation stands: snakeoil? My answer to your question is going to be a bit obtuse. I just got back into TT after a 33 year absence, see my post on this subject (https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/second-system-that-sounds-and-looks-spectacular-i-am-there) . The TT I hav... | |
| New Vinyl I agree with "mofimadness"; Gillian Welch's "The Harrow & The Harvest" is simply amazing. But then again, when you read the story behind this recording/pressing, no surprise why. Attention to detail is way beyond normal, they even purchased an... | |
| New Vinyl MFSL ultra disc one step LPs (Santana, Bill Evans and Donald Fagen so far). About as good as vinyl is ever going to get IMHO. Just purchased Michell Legrand (Legrand Jazz) and two Van Morrison LPs (Astral Weeks and Moondance) from Music direct; al... | |
| Krell Service I second that, Krell service and support has been outstanding for me. Certainly not cheap, but, you get what you pay for. | |
| Unforggetable song titals "Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict" - Pink Floyd, Ummagumma album. Top that! | |
| Anybody bold enough to try a voltage conversion on your own? In answer to "marktomaras" question; not in my opinion. Hard to be certain, as I was unable to do a direct comparison. However, based on memory, both systems sounded the same in France as they did in the USA. | |
| Anybody bold enough to try a voltage conversion on your own? I have moved to Europe, from the USA, twice. Simply bought myself a 2 kW voltage converter/power stabilizer. Worked perfectly for me. You can use something like this:http://www.eastwestusastore.com/detail-3514-id-577-regulators.htmlAlternatively, ... | |
| Oppo 105. Problems with crossover? Have you read the Oppo "Knowledge Base" article on this subject:https://www.oppodigital.com/KnowledgeBase.aspx?KBID=15&ProdID=BDP-93May help? | |
| Do You Care About AESTHETICS? What Are Your Gear/Listening Room Preferences?... I certainly think HiFi aesthetics are very important. Simple though it may sound, if something is visible in my home I want it to look good/beautiful. In fact, I have just assembled, what I consider to be, a truly beautiful and spectacular soundin... | |
| Grading phono cartridges Part 2. Wow, some serious hard work went into compiling this data. Very useful, many thanks. |
