| Devore and Shindo match The Shindo/Devore combo is quite popular and for good reason, there are good synergies there. I have the Aurieges/Montille combo and used to have the Super 8s. In my room the mids were wonderful, natural very uncoloured. However the bass was lacki... | |
| devore fidelity gibbon nines ,need good amplificat Jet, I agree, you heard the gear at different dealers in different rooms, cables etc, so its not quite an apples to apples comparison. Now if you can get the Shindo dealer to let you borrow the gear overnight so you can compare it in your room wit... | |

| Music to 'Toyota Venza' Advert on the TV. Its funny, I Googled that ad and found it on Youtube. All the comments are by people trying to figure out the song and ironically, no one is commenting on the car. | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Wow, that's big news!!! until I read the date of that post at least :) | |
| best value - record cleaning machine IMO the brushes and fluid are more critical than the machine. My VPI 16.5 just spins the record and sucks the fluid off, pretty simple really. Its the fluid and brushes that really get into the grooves. FWIW, I'm using Walker Solution with very go... | |
| Ortofon 2M Black vs, Clearaudio Maestro So Bob, if I understand you correctly you're saying that in order of quality its the Maestro, Virtuoso, 20XH and then 2M?I currently have a 20XL, and am considering a 2M Black, sounds like it may be a lateral or downward move? | |
| Coral Beta 8s or Devore Super 8s Atmasphere, I spoke too soon, after letting my Corals break in properly they settled down nicely and are very smooth at the top end now. I love how dynamic and open they sound. Its hard to go back to regular Low efficiency speakers with crossovers... | |
| Coral Beta 8s or Devore Super 8s Scott, actually I just sold the Super 8s. They really were great speakers, and I may end up buying them back one of these days. But in my room the Corals just edged them out. | |
| Shindo preamps Fjn: yes I agree with Vinyljh, Shindo does NOT sound like Marantz. I believe you may be confusing it with Cayin, as they have some amps that are supposed to sound like the vintage Marantz and some like McIntosh. Cayin makes good value products, bu... | |
| Ortofon 2M Black vs, Clearaudio Maestro Almandog, so are you saying that you like the MC sound better? | |
| What do you feel is the best sub-$4000 turntable? Lenco L75 with a big ass plinth | |
| Two Arm Turntables My Coral Beta 8 speakers are very sensitive, (101 dB) and go down to 30Hz. There's no rumble, the plinth absorbs all extraneous noise. | |
| Two Arm Turntables Yes the Garrard's are great, they are the gold standard for sure, but just the player without a plinth is $1500-$2000. After you add a plinth, kokomo bearings and tonearm it gets pretty pricey. The lenco players in contrast start at about $300 for... | |
| Two Arm Turntables I just had a Lenco L75 modded with a 75 lb cherry plinth by Jean Nantais. He had it made with 2 armboards (and it also came with 2 extra armboards) so theoretically I could have 4 arms at any point. This is a relatively economical solution for you... |
