| Mark Levinson suggestion please I third the 23.5 (the 23 is OK but the 23.5 is truly special) There's one for sale on the Gon right now, unless it's sold -- they go fast.It will work best using its balanced input, so plan on a preamp with a balanced output. A used Levinson 26s w... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Doug, you and Andrew have Triplanar tonearms, so you can have perfect SRA at all times no matter the record thickness or the engineering preferences of the lathe operator. In any case, even .2gms wouldn't make enough of a difference with most of t... | |
| Suggestions for a conditioner/surge protector? If you can't do dedicated lines, then get a power regenerator (not a conditioner/filter -- they ruin sonics and represent "old technology" IMO) Consider an Exactpower EP-15A (my favorite ;--)If you COULD do dedicated circuits and your power compan... | |
| What I hear with my Panamax 5300EX If you can't do dedicated lines, then get a power regenerator (not a conditioner/filter -- they ruin sonics and represent "old technology" IMO) Consider an Exactpower EP-15A (my favorite ;--)If you COULD do dedicated circuits and your power compan... | |
| "romantic" sounding cabling Chris, it would be nice to know a little about your system, because although I agree with Herman, and also about the legendary warmth of Cardas products, I don't think cables will really give you the sound you're describing. When I read:" . . .sof... | |
| "What's Your Best Price?" I agree with hwy61 as regards keeping the goal in mind, but as boa's hilarious link makes very clear, both buyer and seller should expect to participate in a little foreplay, even if the price essentially remains the same!It's called "Getting to k... | |
| Is this the highest price ever paid for an LP? Here's the current link:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=020&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=300060897304&rd=1&rd=1 | |
| Is this the highest price ever paid for an LP? It's a little over $20K now with three daysleft. | |
| Using AES/EBU Digital XLR for analog connection? Check w/ Tara Labs. I don't think it's the right impedance for analog signal transmission. | |
| Best headshell leads for cartridge/tonearm combo ? I think the silver van den Huls are probably the best (IMO) and are what SME supplies with their arms. | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Speedy, the 7 or so people I've assisted in following my procedure for establishing zero SRA, have then set their stylus rake angle to a nominal 1.5 degrees (+/_ .20 degree) and found it to yield the best sonics achievable simply using measuring t... | |
| Dedicated power.... Sorry, the sentance should read "to make up for the voltage LOSS over the distance". | |
| Dedicated power.... And to add to what Forrestc writes:If you're going more than 15 or 20 feet from your panel, go up another wire size to make up for voltage over the distance.20A = 10ga.15A = 12ga. | |
| Brinkman Balance Comparisons I have no experience with the tables under discussion, but I find it soooo interesting (though to me, not surprising) that Vetterone has noticed something special about a direct drive table.Besides Teres, the new Goldmund Reference will be DD (the... | |
| "What's Your Best Price?" I agree w/ Tvad. The response to 'obo' should be an offer, not a 'what'll you take?' request.. |
