| New Magnepan 1.7 R Darkkeys, I have mine five feet out into my room and 2.5 feet from the side walls with a bit of toe-in. My room is 17x25. I drive them with Portal Paladin monoblocks. I think they sound great. I never found setup that difficult. Planars simply sou... | |
| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? There's simply no "best" turntable. I've heard the Caliburn and it is wonderful. We all don't like the same sound so calling any the "best" makes no sense.Wendell | |
| tuner better than turntable ? thread. Jimpcn, if you're happy that's great. I have no doubt you have a wonderful tuner. No matter how good it is, you have no control over the technical limitations of the FM band and the horrible things that most stations do to the signal to make it ev... | |
| tuner better than turntable ? thread. No, not even close. Most FM transmissions are compressed leaving very little in the way of dynamics and there is no information above 15,000 hz. Vinyl playback can be quite dynamic and extended.Wendell | |
| Best bourbon? I had both Woodford Reserve and Maker's Mark at a Christmas party last Saturday. Both are very good.Again, Jack Daniels is not bourbon. Having grown up in Tennessee I'm well aware of its' appellation as "Tennessee sippin' whiskey". :-)Wendell | |
| Which one do I buy Pre Ject Debut III or Rega P1?? For 70s and 80s disco? Technics SL-1200.Wendell | |
| Which one do I buy Pre Ject Debut III or Rega P1?? They are all of similar and, in my opinion, marginal quality.I don't think it makes any difference from a performance standpoint. Just buy the one the looks best to you. Better yet, don't buy any of them and buy a superior used table for the same ... | |
| What do you gain from bi-amping Magnepan 1.6s or Using a mono amp on each speaker is no different that using a stereo amp. The speaker connection is the same. Bi-amping requires two amplifiers per speaker (one connected to the low and one connected to the high speaker inputs). You may or may not... | |
| Best bourbon? Makers Mark is my favorite. Jack Daniels is not bourbon. It is Tennessee sippin' whiskey. :-) | |
| Need to replace Denon 2900 The 3910 is excellent. It retailed for $1500 and can be had for around $400 used. Hard to beat at that price. | |
| Vandersteens No comparison. The IC throws a smaller soundstage, is less transparent and has nowhere near the bass of the 2CE.Wendell | |
| Getting The Most Out Of My Scout MarkD51 said,"make the Scout sound like a $44 plastic garrard table from the 70's."Hyperbole is fine but this is a silly statement. :-) | |
| Getting The Most Out Of My Scout In my opinion the SDS is the biggest improvement of all you listed. What's wrong with the VPI setup jig? | |
| Are anti-cable interconnects properly shielded? If you are not experiencing interference there is no problem.Some systems can't handle unshielded cables because of RFI and/or EMI. It sounds like you are good to go. Enjoy.Wendell | |
| Dual 1019 Cartridge placement Just print out one of the free universal protractors and use that for cartridge alignment. They are available on the same site.Wendell |
