| Shindo lab pre amps Bvdiman: I think top units and remote controllable is an oxymoron. Can't have one with the other :)Scar972 I'm with you, I think Shindo gear is gorgeous, but most of my friends beg to differ, I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Most peop... | |
| Tube Phono-Stage question. A friend of mine put Brimar Black Plates in his Tube Box SEII and it sounds fantastic. | |
| Upgrade Rega RB700 tonearm for lenco idler wheel? Jean rewired my RB300 with solid core wire Petra wire, sounds great. | |
| High efficient speakers Hi Doggg, unfortunately I'm in Toronto, Canada. I do visit SF/SJ occasionally, so I'll definitely make it a point to check them out the next time I'm in the area. The speakers you're comparing them to are certainly no slouches either, so they must... | |
| Who's familiar with Audiocraft/Ultracraft AC300? Thom, you're right, the outrigger weight solved the problem like a charm. So if I understand correctly, this arm allows you to adjust the damping which allows you to use a wide range of cartridges from low to high compliance, is that correct? | |
| Who's familiar with Audiocraft/Ultracraft AC300? Thom: I installed it last night and noticed that it was tilting to one side. I just read your post and noticed you mentioned the "outrigger weights". Aha! are these the little weights that screw onto the side of the tonearm to balance it? I notice... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II So Jean delivered my new Lenco L75 in a 75 lb Cherry Plinth yesterday. He also lugged over a pair of Klipsch Heresies, his home brew speaker wires, Music Boys Petra cables and a couple of cartridges - a Decca Super Gold and Empire 10PE for me to t... | |
| High efficient speakers Hi Doggg, could you provide some info on the STE labs? I tried to google them but nothing showed up. Where are they made/sold and what's the price range?Thanks | |
| Who's familiar with Audiocraft/Ultracraft AC300? Hi Raul, yes these pieces are probably 20+ years old so not much info available on the web, I was hoping that experienced vetrans like you could tell me about them. Jean Nantais, who's delivering my new Lenco tomorrow thinks that his Decca Super G... | |
| Who's familiar with Audiocraft/Ultracraft AC300? Updated: I just found an Orsonic headshell, I assume that it was used for this arm. Anyone know anything about this headshell? | |
| Best Phono Stage within 2000 $ John, a bunch of friends are planning to have a Phono-stage shootout soon (I just realized how geeky that sounds!) and the Allnic may be one of the pieces. I hope to report back soon. FWIW, in last year's edition of the shootout the concensus was ... | |
| Best Phono Stage within 2000 $ Thanks John, I've been interested in the Allnic, but am concerned about the lack of dynamics on rock. I'll definitely have to check out the Whest. | |
| Best Phono Stage within 2000 $ Johnjc, we're all in the same boat here trying to learn what's the best value for our money. Would you be able to share your experiences here for all of us? | |
| High efficient speakers I have a 15 wpc push pull Shindo amp and I'm finding that my Devore Super 8s don't have enough bottom end for me. The Devores are special speakers, with wonderful tonality and coherence in the mids and highs, but they just don't have the deep slam... | |
| Shindo lab pre amps For what its worth, a dealer once related that they had a shootout and the lowly Aurieges blew away several highly regarded and more expensive pre's such as the Ref 3 and a Spectral. In his words, the Ref 3 sounded "broken" compared to the Auriege... |
