| Oppo 95-Integra 80.3 connection 2 or 3 but definitely not 1. The bdp 95 has a saber 32 dac, why would you want to bypass it? If you insist then down grade to the bdp93 and save nearly half the cost. | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows I went to the opera last night, we had third row seats. Upon arrival at our seats my wife made a comment about how our view would surely be unobstructed. But, there was one seat free in front of mine, so I replied back, the view will be good provi... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The nutcracker, The National Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Richard Bonynge. London ffrr. It is Christmas eve! I should be going to bed before Santa shows up, he will probably prefer to sit and listen than distribute gifts! | |
| Simple High Quality Tube Preamp for Vinyl Only Sys I was searching for the same thing as you. High quality simple and affordable, for vinyl mostly. My search ended with an ARC SP-16. I took my system to another level.I also considered the quicksilver the old full function pre. But at the time i wa... | |

| A Copernican View of the Turntable System This thread moves fast, so pardon me for stepping back a few days.Jcarr: Thanks for the response to my post regarding the placement of my rack. I recently changed my rack from an Ikea shelve that was low and wide to a proper rack that is tall and ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System I view placing my rack between my speakers a lesser evil. I have very small room (16x10x8ft or 5x3x2m LxWxH). I simply do not have anywhere else where it can be placed other than in a corner, which is worse.There is one place where the rack could ... | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? I think I am gonna try cryo treating my ears.1- it reduces stress2- improves their performance3- and they will be homogeneous, and thus symetricalSimply, it will make me a better audiophile! | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? I read in another thread that you're supposed to boil the vinyl before the cryo treatment. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Raul: I feel that your posted of 9-11-11 was a direct response to my posts. I would like to make two points in this regard.First: Being critical of a given approach or "road" as you put it, does not mean that one is against it. I doubt that t... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Halcro, I am not opposed to your approach, in fact I find it attractive. Your idea of the concrete arm-pod seems like a fun DYI project that I have considered for use on SL-1200 table. But that got me to analysing this approach and the big hurdle ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System The base as an island, I am not sure?The fundamental objective of turn-table design is to maintain an optimal geometrical relationship between the stylus and the groove in such a matter to allow, as Halcro so eloquently said it (paraphrasing), the... | |
| Keith Jarrett Trio in Seattle I saw the trio at last year's Montreal Jazz fest and Keith walked off just before the encore after someone took a photo of him. Still worth every penny. | |
| Tube Rolling - Any tips or caveats I brought the Tele's back to the store and they tested them, and they tested fine(?) 1100 microhms.Regardless they exchanged them without question, so I took a pair of PSVANE 12AX7-Ts, plus some cash back.Is this normal that a tube could test well... | |
| Tube Rolling - Any tips or caveats My first experience with NOS tubes has not been great.For simplicity reasons, I started out by swapping my input tubes on my power-amps (Quicksilver Mid-Monos) with the pair of Telefunken 12ax7s. It sounded great, it tighten the bass and added def... |
