| Turntables.....A point of diminishing returns? You might also consider sending the 401 to Chris at Woodsong Audio to be rebuilt. At least partially. | |
| Turntables.....A point of diminishing returns? HiNeat system.Two major improvements: Triplanar arm and LDA Quartz Power Supply.I bought a Woodsong Garrard 301 with an Ortophon RS 309D which is a Jelco.The Triplanar makes the Jelco sound like a toy. Worth every penny.And the Long Dog Audio powe... | |
| ATC SCM150 (or JBL Synthesis) (or JBL vintage) (or new Klipsch Jubilee) Hi Juan,As a beginner, your best choice is ATC.And if you want the best ATC, buy the Anniversary model. Their internal amps are all upgraded to Class A which is best SS.And all ATC powered are Tri-amped with dedicated amps for the tweeter, midrang... | |
| Delrin platter with Mat I considered a vinyl mat for my TT. On the advise of Ralph at Atma-Sphere, I bought an acrylic mat from Oracle Audio for $185.It improved my system dramatically. Highly recommended. | |
| ATC SCM150 (or JBL Synthesis) (or JBL vintage) (or new Klipsch Jubilee) Hi Juan,Regarding a great preamp for the ATCs, the best I know is the Atma-Sphere MP-1. It is valve output with a solid state power supply.It also has one of the very best phono stages built in if you ever want to go vinyl-which is my strongest su... | |
| ATC SCM150 (or JBL Synthesis) (or JBL vintage) (or new Klipsch Jubilee) https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisa986a-atc-scm-100asl-speakersHi Juan,Before Lone Mountain Audio took over distribution and sales for ATC in the States, I was the ATC dealer in California. And I lived with Anniversary 50s in my 2 channel home ... | |
| Speaker Cables Best cable I know of, regardless of cost, are the Silversmith Fidelium. And Fidelium bi wire. ($1200 8’ $275 bi wire “jumper”) Check out the reviews. They are not the usual “highly recommended”. They all come out and say exactly what I say.Jeff at... | |
| My NAD 3020 D proves your Class D tropes are wrong Class D amps have traveled quite a long journey over 25+ years.Surely, there has been a lot of focus on improving the technology.I have been a dedicated tube guy for most on the past 50 years into this hobby. About to turn 68, got my first system ... | |
| Can you get proper imaging if speakers are not the same distance from center? “if it sounds good, it sounds good”. This tends to be my inclination.But I wonder if there will be a marked improvement if I move the listening position closer. I would certainly get a bigger perceived picture on the TV! But changing the furniture... | |
| Can you get proper imaging if speakers are not the same distance from center? BTW, the listening position is 110” from center line. This can’t be changed.And the speakers like to be facing straight front with no toe in. | |
| If you have a rebuilt Garrard or Lenco you need this! Well, it may not be as convenient, but you can buy from Robin and send it back to him if it did not work out.Very unlikely... but he is very cool.RobyattAudio.com | |
| If you have a rebuilt Garrard or Lenco you need this! Great pindac! Nice to have such a complete confirmation.Nick Gorman... I have found that Audio companies seem to reflect the integrity of the owners. A good example is Ralph Karsten of Atma-Sphere. Nick’s other products seem good and affordable. E... | |
| If you have a rebuilt Garrard or Lenco you need this! Yes, you need to get the 50Hz pulley and change the jumpers on the wiring block. There are four poles with 2 jumpers on the two on the sides for 110v to one jumper to the two center poles for 220v.It is a little tricky to make sure the idler wheel... | |
| What phono preamp are you using? The most beautiful phono stage I ever heard is the Zesto Andros.The are now about $5K but worth it. The glory of finely implemented tubes! | |
| Reel to Reel Woes As you know, a R2R deck is the best sound and biggest upkeep.Either get your Teac rebuilt or get a fully refurbished one. Revox is, IMO, very high quality but others will give you excellent performance. |
