| Whats under your Shindo? I've also heard that Ken Shindo voices his gear on natural solid wood and that's what sounds best. I previously tried some herbie isolation cups but it made it sound thin. I've now got some birch chopping blocks under mine. | |
| Ultimate Idler Drive so how much do one of those babys cost? | |
| What's wrong with my ProJect 9.1? hi Doug, Thanks for the tips, they're all good, but I upgraded my 10X5 to a 20XL and it now sounds great! Guess their entry level cart just didn't do it for me. The guy who sold it to me diplomatically described it as being "polite" sounding, gues... | |
| best sounding tube pre and ss amp youve heard. I really enjoy the Shindo Aurieges and think that its a fine pre, but keep in mind that it has a relatively high output impedance (5,000 Ohms I think), so you have to be careful about matching a SS amp to it. Best to mate it with a tube amp, or ev... | |
| Can anyone recommend a Phono Pre Amp? Viper, I also tested the P75 Mk2 with a HO cart (10X5) and it didn't sound great either. However, my understanding is that it really shines in enhanced mode with their LO carts. | |
| Can anyone recommend a Phono Pre Amp? Viper when you tested the P75 was it with a Dynavector cart? I understand the the P75 has an "enhanced" mode that works particularly well with their LO Carts. This is a reason why I'm leaning heavily in favour of it for my 20XL cart. | |
| Can anyone recommend a Phono Pre Amp? Viper that Dodd is gorgeous! Is that a burl wood front?Zeal what about the Dynavector P75 with the 20XL, must be good synergies there? | |
| Cayin CD 50T , or something else? I just installed a AWV tube and posted my impression on it. To summarize, it improved the soundstage, dynamics and bass. The tube only cost me $10 from Ebay and its moved this cdp up a notch or two. Its now a real giant killer. | |
| DPS turntable Thomas: what do you mean by "listen to a WT and you have it"?Stringreen, I'm a newbie when it comes to analog, is the WT arm that hard to set up? If its a good table, can I get it without the WT arm and subsitute another more "user friendly" arm? | |
| DPS turntable Gregg, I understand what you're saying completely, my friend's DPS produces such a black background its scary. It also is out of my price range and I'm in the same position as you, a few that I'm thinking about are Well Tempered, Acoustic Solid an... | |
| Living Voice Avatars VS Devore Super 8s I found a nice pair of LVs, but the seller doesn't have the boxes so he prefers not to ship, so the search goes on.... | |
| Best cartridge for Pro-Ject 9.1 Johnny, I have a line the Dyna P75 and its on my list.Thanks | |
| Best cartridge for Pro-Ject 9.1 Johnny I don't mind spending a bit more either, as long as it retains its resale value until the Shindo MM comes in. Do you have any other suggestions in the $500-$700 range?Thanks | |
| Best cartridge for Pro-Ject 9.1 Johnny Yes someone else also recommended the Ortofon 2M Black and I'm intrigued by it. I currently have a Shindo Aurieges preamp and am hoping to upgrade to the Aurieges MM which has a MM phono stage so the 2M would be a good fit. Until I get the ... | |
| Best cartridge for Pro-Ject 9.1 I've heard that the Blackbird could be a bit bright, is that correct? |
