| Shipping a turntable with plinth from England to USA Not a good idea. Turntables are delicate devices and easily damaged. International shipping is notoriously rough. There are a bazillion turntables to choose from in this country. Patience is a virtue, a good one will come along. Also, stay away fr... | |
| Kumza Stabi S or Rega P10 ?? The arm on the Rega is way better than what comes on the S. No need to upgrade unless you want to spend $15 K. Wally will supply shims of just about any angle. IMHO the two best tables Kuzma makes are the Ref 2 and the M. My favorite Kuzma arm is... | |
| Tube phono pre amps @detroitwing , I have a VERY special deal for you if you message me! | |
| Is Imaging Worth Chasing? @thespeakerdude , What most people think is imaging is easy. Your saying this means you have never heard a system that images at the state of the art. I was an audiophile for 20 years before I heard such a system and I have heard 3 systems perform... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers with Rel 212se Subwoofer @yoby , just this weekend I heard a pair of Dynaudio Heritage Special loudspeakers do a surprisingly excellent job of casting an image while sounding totally neutral. They reminded me of the LS3 5A but with more bass. They are within your price ra... | |
| Magnepan Directionality/Off Axis @rodman99999 , absolutely correct. Set up correctly you would think it would be everyone's cup of tea. There are many ways of building a dipole speaker. Horizontal dispersion should never be a problem. Magnepan solved the problem by using a very... | |
| One of the great things about Vinyl Unless I am interrupted or using the music as background fill I always listen to an entire album straight through. An album is an artistic statement. You do not look at an important painting by staring only at the left upper corner. There are ba... | |
| The Mood Was Ruined Correct @mahler123, a record defect has nothing to do with the system. The only solution is to get another copy of that record if you can. Occasionally something gets stuck on the surface of the record and you can flick it off with a fingernail. B... | |
| Is Imaging Worth Chasing? Imaging is the most difficult aspect of Hi Fi reproduction. Very few systems image at the state of the art. Most audiophiles have never heard a system image at this level and are unaware of this level of performance. All Aspects of HiFi reproduc... | |
| Kumza Stabi S or Rega P10 ?? I'll go with the Rega P10 on this one. It has and excellent tonearm. Put it on an isolation platform, make it a real dust cover and you have an 8/10 turntable. | |
| The Mood Was Ruined If you can't take the heat, get out of the oven. | |
| Magnepan Directionality/Off Axis If you like the basic sound of the .7i on axis then you will love the 3.7i. It's ribbon tweeter has excellent horizontal dispersion characteristics. If you are tall you might lose the high end standing up. The cure for this is tilting them back ju... | |
| Low level listening @erik_squires , I just listened to a set of little Dynaudio Heritage speakers and was very impressed. They reminded me of LS3 5As with a little more bass. Beautiful image. $7K was a little steep so we wound up getting Harbeth P3ESR XDs, a better v... | |
| Best Way four Bass Array @jeffseight , you have not heard anything yet. Keep listening and enjoy the journey. | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @rsf507 , I would guess that @retipper would think you would haven to be out of your mind to buy a Viv arm. He probably would not state that directly as he would not want to lose customers. Manufacturers tend to be politically correct for obvious ... |
