| Best cassette deck for transferring to cdr? Nakamichi CR-7A. The Dragon is the top of the line and the CR-7A is the next one "down" however>> there are those (like myself :~) who prefer the CR-7A over the Dragon because the Dragon plays in both directions, which I feel can present hea... | |
| Trans Temp W, Magic Diamond cartridges - comments Raul: No. No crossover. But that is a subject for a different thread. You could start one if you like. | |
| Trans Temp W, Magic Diamond cartridges - comments Rushton, you're right, it was the Clearaudio -- I remember we talked about the Transfigurations and I think he said he liked the Temper V but wasn't familiar with the Temper W. I know he's pretty impressed with the Magic Diamond though. | |
| Trans Temp W, Magic Diamond cartridges - comments Thanks Rushton. Before the Magic Diamond, I believe Lloyd Walker was using the Transfiguration Temper W -- which is of course my other candidate (and at about half the price!)Again, thanks for your impressions. | |
| Trans Temp W, Magic Diamond cartridges - comments Rushton,Thanks for your comprehensive description of the MD. It's really the first one I've read. Apparently, you've been listening to it long enough to know what it really sound like; yet you didn't compare it with any "known" cartridges (like vd... | |
| Trans Temp W, Magic Diamond cartridges - comments Raul,Thanks for the list. That's very impressive. I'd say about $120,000 alone just for the installed and stand-by cartridges. You must have many interchangeable head shells or arm wands? Do you ever have an interest to sell any of your cartridges? | |
| Trans Temp W, Magic Diamond cartridges - comments Raul, I'm just curious. Would you mind posting a list of all the cartridges you currently own and which ones you listen to the most?Thanks | |

| Setting up the cartridge--Tips/techniques I have a Frog and can give you some tips. But first, is it a standard Frog (.65mV) or a Frog Gold Mk II (.85mv) or a high output (2.2mv) and what kind of arm is it in? | |
| Large Room-Treatments and WAF-HELP?? There is a kot you can do with well chosen furnishings. Not jus chairs, couches , etc., but window treatments, rugs or carpets, decorative wall hangings and even decorative absorbent ceiling panels, You are "redecorating for sound!"Doing so will m... | |
| Sound Insulation- how much can it help? You might consider mounting a "floating" wall -- which is drywall mounted on resilient clips. Search "soundproofing" in these forums, it's been covered pretty thoroughly. | |
| Mark Levinson 26 pre amp Tony -- a friend auditioned a 32 (he had a 26S), and obviously, there wasn't much to criticise. But as he put it, "it was a lot of money to pay for remote volume control and a lot of balanced inputs and outputs, and a couple more (audio-video) inp... | |
| Madrigal CZ Gel interconnects They are often available here on Agon. Search "CZ" They are great cables, especially with '90s Levinson gear. They need a little space to connect because they're moderately stiff (but not too bad!) | |
| Equipment Set-up Recommendations? Wall mount. Preferably on an outside wall because they tend to be stiffer than an interior partition wall. Make sure you lag bolt into the studs; if necessary, remove the drywall or plaster and put blocking inside the wall (that's wood that goes h... | |
| Mark Levinson 26 pre amp Ken 1967, I bought (and sold) all my ML equipment on Audiogon. I have seen Levinson 25's and 26's on Ebay but I get very nervous with Ebay, expecially if the price is way above or way below market. I got one of my units (I can't remember which) by... |
