| Need help/advice on choosing a new CDP I think I heard the Naim CD5i (non italic) it was about 3 ago. To be honest I am also a little biased towards Naim because of the looks. | |
| Which moving magnet cartridge mm 4 vpi classic? I agree with Raul. As far as I understand MC carts are good since they have a low moving mass. If you want to increase the output of a MC cart you have to add extra windings to the coil. This means the coil become heavier and thus defeating the wh... | |
| purchasing a Scout/Scoutmaster: need input please Sorry for going oftopic but I think it is great that you still record using tapemachines. I spoke with a recording engineer some time ago and he partly blamed many of todays bad cd productions on the abuse of pro-tools.Ontopic. I would advise you ... | |
| Wharfedale The 9 series is replaced by the 10 series. So if you want to buy a 9.2 I think you need to buy second hand. | |
| Boulder 1060 amplifier sound vs. Krell EVO 402 What I understood from a dealer is that the Boulders 850 mono blocks are better then the 1060 stereo amp. I have no idea how they would preform with your speakers. | |
| Need help/advice on choosing a new CDP I have heard Rega, Creek, Arcam, Cambridge and Naim CDP's in the past. That was a few years ago though. I liked the Naim the best with the Arcam as second. Didn't like the others at all. So if I were you I would not skip the Arcam not really sure ... | |
| CD players - Luxman vs. Esoteric? Cant you make a deal with your dealer? Buy the whole package there. Buy the Luxeman D-06, the L509u and the Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation at the same dealer. This way you will have a good bargaining position. And maybe you can make a deal that if... | |
| Kharma ceramic blow up I think there are better brands then Kharma that use ceramic drivers Marten design maybe. But whatever you are going to decide I think you are a "hero" in my book already for owning the best "in my book" amps in the world. | |
| driving Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations? I must admit that I have not heard this combo yet but I have a feeling that they will match great. So if you have dealer nearby try a Symphonic Line integrated amp. A RG 10 MK4 or RG 10 mk4 reference would do great.However like I said I have not h... | |
| Verity Audio: To Nagra or not to Nagra? I have heard the Verity Audio Parsifal powered by a set of Boulder 850 mono blocks and I think a 1010 pre amp. That combo was really good. They used a Nagra CDP and a VPI HRX with Nagra phono pre as source. The only amp I have heard that did bette... | |
| Moving into vinyl. Brinkman, TW Raven, GrandPrix?? If possible try to listen to the Bergmann Sindre. I heard it at an audio show and was very much impressed. But it is hard to get a good impression of a product at a show. Also don't forget Transrotor Orion. | |
| Help building new system: devore, verity or Sonus? I know there are some speaker brands out there that make speakers that are meant to be placed against the wall. Would that be an option? | |
| Live vs home system??? The OP has it wrong in my opinion. There is no comparing. Recorded music and life music are two different beasts altogether. When buying a hifi system you should buy something which sounds pleases you. You should not compare it to life music. With... | |
| CEC amp 6300 has anyone heard it? Thanks for the reply. I did buy an other amp though. I bought a Symphonic Line La Musica. There was no place where I could here the CEC. | |
| Anyone spent time with the Totem Wind? I agree with Artmaltman. Most speakers that have a WoW effect often have exaggerated bass or treble. |
