| Need advice on used Wilson Audio speakers Wilson is strong used-market brand, and the Sabrina is a charming, very enjoyable model. I have heard them a few times with audio research amplifiers. Wilsons are often paired with Boulder, Doshi and D'Agostino, at least in my area. Easy to find a... | |
| Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy? Dominus Rev B, which are probably 20 years old. The worst ergonomically but peerless compared to my other cables. | |
| Origin Live company support I had no problems at all sending my tonearm back for internal rewire. | |
| Mark Levinson Amps startup & shutdown operation. Specifically 532H but really any ML amp I read about your disappointing experience. I also bought mine "used" but through upscale audio. It was really new old stock. Your amp's standby does not work properly. "Standbys" are ubiquitous and do not normally have functional issues. That is ... | |
| Mark Levinson Amps startup & shutdown operation. Specifically 532H but really any ML amp There is a moderately loud switching noise turning my 532h on from standby. This is avoided by turning on my preamp last. I tried your scenario; after the noise music plays normally, uninterrupted. Music totally stops after back on standby. | |
| Reed 3P armboard mounting Thank you for the help. Glad to hear going through and using nuts works. | |
| What did you make for Christmas? @tomic601 I heard your rig (same preamp/amp/speakers) at a show. The vocals were second to none I have heard. Certainly dinged my bias against SS, but I digress. | |
| For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question. Ikeda tonearm, especially in contrast to the 4Point. I was considering buying one but the ambiguous setup is a headache I do not want. | |
| Rockport Atria II or Magico A5 I have only heard the A3 as opposed to the A5. They sound like Magico but certainly junior in refinement to the S3mk2. I'm not sure what is compelling about the A5, when the Atria was preferred over the S3. My experience with Rockport is that they... | |
| HELP advise PLEASE - Focal Sopra 2 Speakers - I want a tube amp but " Min 2.6ohm @ 104Hz " The VAC has assorted output taps, so that is nice in your situation. I would experiment with a SS amp as another data point/ reference if practical. | |
| Vinyl Fremer Thank you | |
| How would you characterize the VAC tube amps? I used to own the entry level phi160IQ. Compared to a 150 watt SS, its bass was a virtue. Very alive, good bandwidth, a little forward and modern sounding as opposed to a romantic. Actually I believe it was more forward than my ML 532H. It was the... | |
| What do you no longer have that you would enjoy a night to listen to again? Probably my Nakamichi CD headunit in my car when I was teenager with the top model boston acoustics speakers at the time. It was great. | |
| Speaker Positioning I found a tape measure easiest to measure against room boundaries while making REW measurements at 4" intervals. When I was done with REW, I used a laser against a paper target at the listening position to mirror the speakers' distance to the list... | |
| Phonostage, preamp or amp? The tube experience, as a generality, is the amplifier in my opinion. |
