| Kimber kable 8tc or 12tc warm? Regarding the Tara Labs RSC Prime 800 that have found a home in my system....warm to me means solid but not bloated bass and mid bass response. Midrange that can reproduce vocals just as well as piano with no particular emphasis on either. With th... | |
| Kimber kable 8tc or 12tc warm? After a year of cable shoot outs I can't say enough about the Tara Labs RSC Prime 800 speaker cables I recently installed. Tremendous bass weight and control with no lack of mid and high end detail. They replaced a pair of van den Hul D-352 Hybrid... | |
| New cartridge for Rega P3-24 Check out Acoustic Signature spacers for the Rega. Easy to install. I had a Soundsmith Otello for a few weeks. Flat, uninspiring to my ear. My current cart, Ortofon LOMC Salsa has super detail up top, but a little edgy and doesn't have the bass re... | |
| Goertz or Grover? Highs were a little too much with the Goertz. If you are looking for some accurate cables that might take the highs down a bit you might try van den Hul D-352. Super bass, mellow highs even though they are silver coated. | |
| Goertz or Grover? I had the Goertz for a while MI2 Veracity and thought they were great with my Spendors initially. After living with them for about 6 months, the high end which I always thought was superlative, they began to "get on my nerves" a bit. Very good bas... | |
| Nordost Blue Heaven speaker cable..what a delusion I had a pair of Zen Satoris and they have excellent bass and mid range performance. The Tara Labs take it one more notch up and provide better high end response.....to my ears at least. Both are great cables. I almost went back to the Zen had it n... | |
| Nordost Blue Heaven speaker cable..what a delusion Tara Labs RSC Prime 800. You will not be disappointed. Solid low end punch, present and accurate mids, detailed highs without ANY harshness. I got mine about 2 weeks ago and they are not going anywhere. Aside from my speakers, they may be the best... | |
| Speaker cable and brightness control I did not give them a chance to settle in. The construction was really first rate and I had heard a lot of positives about them. Maybe I didn't give them a fair shot but knowing my ear and tastes, I've gotten pretty good at first impressions. Anot... | |
| Speaker cable and brightness control I don't have a technical explanation to guide you, nor do I expect all technical specs reflect the sound of the speaker cables. I can tell,you I have been going nuts for the past year in my own personal shoot out. I JUST sold a pair of van den Hul... | |
| tara labs time and space..... I had a pair of older Space and Time cables and thought they were surprisingly good. I've been through quite a few speaker cables during a six-month shoot out and based on the performance of these older cables just purchased a pair of Tara Labs RS... | |
| Classic MIT Balanced Interconnects - Worth?? I just bought a pair of 1.5 meter balanced XLR MIT CVT1 Pro new for $450. So I'm guessing somewhere a little south of that but not by much. MIT just had a huge price increase on the new ones. Hope that helps. | |
| looking for cable recommendations I just got a pair of van den Hul D-352 speaker cables today and I have agree with williewonka. They are open but not bright, great bass response with tremendous depth and soundstage. The VDH are replacing a set of high capacitance Alpha Core Goert... | |
| Rega RP3 Bias/Anti-Skate I have been playing cart swap and at the same time experimenting with the bias adjustment. Thanks for the advice on adjusting bias on the fly. Nothing has exploded or snapped yet. Making the adjustment very slowly as suggested you can hear small d... | |
| Rega RP3 Bias/Anti-Skate I set the VTF with the tonearm dial but checked it with the simple Shure balance scale. I backed off on the bias just slightly and it seems to sound pretty balanced. I think I need to let the cart run in a bit. I've got a Rega Elys 2 cart coming. ... | |
| Rega RP3 Bias/Anti-Skate I've adjusted the VTF with a Shure scale and got the Ortofon Salsa dialed in at its supposed best tracking force of 2.2 grams so I'm confident of that setting, but I imagine that's assuming a lot. I'll try easing up on bias and see what kind of di... |
