| Purist, Legenburg or K-S? Khrys -- I haven't found a used Dominus spkr cable at a price I can afford either, so I'm using Venustas. I think any of my top three choices are flat neutral products, and will provide the resolution your system can generate without coloration. S... | |
| How to best isolate TT from vibration? Good show Bill! LOL | |
| tonearm questions Raul is correct about the internal wire being better on the new SME V. HOWEVER, if you buy an older one, and send it back to the factory for service (which you should do anyway) SME can install an even BETTER van den Hul wire than what they put in... | |
| How to best isolate TT from vibration? Seismic vibration is at too low a frequency to be audible, and too low in amplitude to cause mistracking (unless you happen to be in an earthquake!)If the problem is ground transmission of things like trucks, trains, or military ordinance (very) n... | |
| How to best isolate TT from vibration? I do agree w/ Newbee's exception: If you have a concrete slab-on-grade floor (or a 1 foot thick steel-reinforced floor in a hi-rise or loft,) then a stout rack (like a Billy Bags) spiked right into the floor will do it (or for the cost of a few co... | |
| Purist, Legenburg or K-S? I second Purist. Also read my last post on this thread:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?fcabl&1162067386&openmine&zzNsgarch&4&5#Nsgarch | |
| How to best isolate TT from vibration? Wall-shelf. Target makes the Volkswagen of wall shelves --Available at Audio advisor, and other fine audio retailers ;--) | |
| Digital Cable Choice; how critical is it? Jeff, thanks for the link. I enjoyed the presentation.Have you used this device to measure the things you mentioned in your audio system, or it it strictly a work tool?I've never used anything but AT&T glass. For one thing, the Wadia DAC I use... | |
| power cable recommendation for dartzeel amplifier Karma -- there aren't too many speaker cables that will do justice to the kind of system you're putting together.So I hope you can put the Dart right between the speakers with spkr cable runs of not more that 2.5 m each way ;--)))Top of the line m... | |
| Digital Cable Choice; how critical is it? Are all of you (Tobias, jeffcott, Jeff_jones) referring to a lack of difference only between 75 ohm cables (either RCA or BNC), or ALL digital data cable including 110 ohm XLR. ST glass, and Toslink (plastic and glass)?. | |
| Speaker cables or AC regenerator? Your PAD AA spkr cables are already in the 90 percentile of all speaker cables, so to me anyway it's a clear choice: definitely a PR (unless you're in your own house and can do dedicated circuits instead.)If you've read my other posts, you know I'... | |
| Digital Cable Choice; how critical is it? Hi Mike -- That's not a surprise. Glass Toslink has almost twice the bandwidth as plastic. But its practical length is still only 5 meters, while AT&T ST cable can go up to 100 Km between repeaters (for those REALLY large listening rooms ;--)T... | |
| CDP/Preamp/Amp Well, with all that SET tube gear, you certainly want something neutral or even bright(ish).Actually, if you check, there are three people on Agon right now, each selling TWO Harmonix Studio Masters for around $500 apiece. You like Harmonix, and y... | |
| CDP/Preamp/Amp Well, that's why I had to make an exception to my rule(s). Because I have to assume that the Harmonix is a 10 AWG cord even though they don't specify. Personally, I'd write to May Audio and find out. PC manufacturers who don't specify wire size ar... | |
| Digital Cable Choice; how critical is it? I don't know if Kubala makes digital (75 ohm) ICs, but if they do, stay with them (for RCA or BNC which is the 75 ohm I'm talking about). Otherwise, if you have AES/EBU connectors on your DAC and CD transport/player, those are always preferred ove... |
