| Allnic Verito Z:Owners and those familiar Tpsonic,I agree with Gersimon with his pragmatic approach to an evaluation and his opinion of the Verito Z. I have had a Verito Z for about six months and have compared it to a Dynavector XV1-s and used it on a Kuzma Stogi S arm and a Reed, and no... | |
| Well recorded records ... what are your picks? I dont know if these have already been mentioned:Eric Clapton- UnpluggedHerbie Hancock-River, The Joni lettersNorah Jones-Come away with meSuzanne Vega- Solitude standingTry em, you'll like em. | |
| Direct drive/rim drive/idler drive vs. belt drive? I have to jump in here, perhaps a little late, but I have definitely enjoyed the banter. Especially the literary references; and I thought I was the only one who kept an unabridged Websters first edition at my reach. And what does my wife mean whe... | |
| Two quick record cleaning methods - enough? I'm just trying for the first time, the AI three step process and Osage brushes with a RCM. I previously had been manually cleaning with the Disc Doctor cleaner and brushes. I thought the DD process took a while, now I wish this method were only t... | |
| Increasing tone arm effective mass? Thanks so far. I should have stated that I knew the penny trick increased VTF. | |
| phono pre amp choices? Thanks for the responses. My system is Examplar Audio tube pre amp, Belles 350a mono amps, usher BE-10 speakers, Kuzma stabi s TT. I'm going to be upgrading my cartridge at the same time. Budget is $3K for phonostage, $2K or so for cart. Thanks ag... | |
| Are There Any Good, High Power Solid State Amps? O.K. educate me. Why has no one mentioned a pair of Belles 350a run in mono. $8K new $5K or less used. Plenty of power, clean, big soundstage. Now I'm ready, tell me why not. | |
| Dynavector XX-2 MkII vs. Shelter 5000 Thanks all,sorry for delay in response. I keep upping the ante, ZYX atmos is selling for 2500 and sometimes a lightly used Xvs-1 is in the same range. I dont know anything about ZYX or any of the higher end carts. Are these comparable? Why are ZYX... | |
| Wisconsin - Anyone interested? Hi,I live about 20 miles east of Stevens Point. Anyone near this area? I would be glad to host a get together, or attend other get togethers. G.B. not too far. Look forward to it, thanks.Matt | |
| Power conditioners MIT vs. Shunyata I was considering the z-strip, but recently bought an entire system that included a Hydra 2 and a Hydra 6 with all the PC's. During my earlier searches I was just wondering about the "parallel technology" MIT talks about. I guess its not that big ... | |
| MIT Z Center - new power products Bill,I am now using a hydra 2 for my amps and a hydra 6 for my front end, with python PC's from wall to hydras. I have shunyata PC's from components. I changed my digital player at the same time, so it's not a true test, but the detail and resolut... | |
| MIT Z Center - new power products I have a hydra6 demo that I have tried, but it was a used unit and I traced some noise in my system to it, so I'm waiting for a replacement unit. I have not gotten a Z strip for comparison. So I guess I'll have to pony up or keep researching. I am... | |
| MIT Z Center - new power products Hi,I saw your post after doing a similar one. Have you gotten any farther with your search?I was comparing the Z-strip and the shunyata hydra6, and had similar questions.Thanks for your time.Matt |
