| World's Greatest Tenors I would like to add the followingJazz - my personal favorite is Dexter Gordon Opera - not sure if he qualifies "yet" for world's greatest but he is on the top the list of current tenors, Juan Diego Florez. Specially when comes to Rossini operas. | |
| Fun, small footprint, floor standers MA RS6, I have a pair, and they are fantastic in my small room. Easy to drive, and hard to beat in terms of cost. | |
| Long cables from turntable or phono stage Let me know how it turns, maybe I will need to tryout the 2534 too. | |
| Long cables from turntable or phono stage Db,Are you soldering your own terminations or will you be buying a finished product?If you are buying the bulk cable, Redco sells the 2549 at 0.80$/ft and the 2534 at 1.12$/ft.2549 has lower capacitance but not by much and the 2534 is better for n... | |
| Long cables from turntable or phono stage I think they sound great, since trying them on my TT, I also made myself a pair of 8ft ICs for pre to power amps connection. I used Canare connectors.The green wire covered by silver tech flex looks pretty nice, I have pics on my system page. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The final record of the night is, Dexter Gordon, One Flight Up. Then I am going to go one flight up to bed. No more puns I promise. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Dexter Gordon, Both Sides of Midnight. I listened to the first side before midnight and now I am listening to the other side, LOL. | |
| Long cables from turntable or phono stage Db,Here is the link to the Mogami spec sheet:http://www.mogamicable.com/category/bulk/microphone/quality_balanced/I bought my cable online at Redco Audio in CT | |
| Long cables from turntable or phono stage Ralph thanks for the response! It confirms what I thought. @EBM the unfortunate reality is that somewhere in your system you going to have long cables, be it speaker cables or interconnects. Unless of course you are using a Bose Wave system :o> | |
| Long cables from turntable or phono stage Ralph, when i rewired my tone arm recently, I used a Mogami 2549 cable, 2 conductor with a shield. The left and right +/- were connected to their respective blue and clear conductors and the shields from both the left and right wire were connected... | |
| Long cables from turntable or phono stage The bottom line seems to be that without a balanced phono stage, you can't have a balanced connection even if cartridge output is inherently balanced.Or could you use a Jensen transformer (Balanced line in to SE output)as was suggested to me in an... | |
| tube amps? +1 for Quicksilver. I have the mid-monos. Where in Canada are you? I am in Montreal an purchased my amps at Codell Audio. | |
| impedance matching and interconnect capacitance Ralph, thanks. I am aware that balanced would be preferable, in fact I initially thought I would have no choice. But switching from SE to balanced would require me to change both my power amps and pre. A big change I am not ready for at this point. | |
| Long cables from turntable or phono stage Ralph(Atamsphere) What is meant by if you run it balanced aren't all phono cables RCA unbalanced? | |
| Long cables from turntable or phono stage Connect the TT to the phono stage with shortest cables possible. Then run long interconnects to the pre.The inductance of the phono interconnect will vary directly with the length and this could cause issues for the loading of the cartridge. If th... |
