| Cartridges for rear of stage orchestral resolution Cmk: I've known these speakers to have reproduced very good back of hall imaging before. All of my components do have rigid support, with cables also being isolated and elevated. I feel confident a different cartridge will do the trick. I do thank... | |
| Cartridges for rear of stage orchestral resolution Rsrex and Johnss: I'm currently using a Benz L2 cartridge, SME IV.Vi tonearm, VPI HW-19 Mk III table with specially made brass/aluminum tonearm board. EAR 88PB phono preamp is run directly to Air Tight ATM-3 monoblocks (with Tesla E34Ls, Ei Yugo 1... | |
| Cartridges for rear of stage orchestral resolution Harry: Thank you for your suggestion, however, the Titan is a bit too pricey for me. Something that doesn't exceed about $2500 retail might fit the bill. | |
| What is the BEST phono stage I agree with Downunder. I recently purchased the EAR 88PB phono preamp. It is a wonderfully imaging, extremely musical unit. I've previously owned or home auditioned the following preamps: Supratek Cortese, Shindo Masseto, Audio Note M3, Joule Ele... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? I also wish to put in a good word for the Cable Company. I've never had anything less than the most courteous service from them. Aside from being very helpful and friendly, they have allowed me, on several occasions, to extend my time period for f... | |
| ear preamp Hello Gabe...A short while ago I finished auditioning an EAR 88PB, Tim Paravicini's top level tube phono preamp. Though this particular demo had been modded by Mitch Singerman, it had the kind of presentation I liked enough to make me order a new ... | |
| TESLA E88CC 6922 Tubes shorting out??? Hi Slates: You might want to give the JJ Tesla 7DJ8s a try. I've had no problems, and they sound wonderful in my modded EAR 88PB phono preamp. They even give me more of a spacious, musical sound than original Mullard 6922s which I also have and en... | |
| Sound differences between Galibier and Teres Tim: Thanks very much for the heads up on the potential problem with particularly short length cartridges in combo w/ the SME placed on the Teres. In my discussion with Chris he did touch on that issue with the Colibri, which by the way I've never... | |
| Sound differences between Galibier and Teres In a conversation today with Chris Brady, he assured me he could provide an SME armboard with no problem. Incidentally, in the course of a very interesting and pleasant discussion I had with him, I sensed a strong similarity the two of us had rega... | |
| Sound differences between Galibier and Teres Does anyone have experience using the SME IV,V,or IV.Vi tonearm with the Galibier or Teres tables ? Could you please comment on the sound synergy, and were there any problems underneath with fitting the DIN ended tonearm cable ? | |
| Sound differences between Galibier and Teres Dan_ed: I'm in western North Carolina, not far from Asheville. I know of only one other Audiogon member nearby, and he owns neither table. As for those who suggest I make the trip to Colorado for auditions, I realize you mean well, however "separa... | |
| Sound differences between Galibier and Teres Incidentally, has anyone yet had the chance to familiarize themselves with the Galibier Serac ? | |
| Sound differences between Galibier and Teres Dan_ed: Maybe I didn't choose the best terms to describe the kind of sound I prefer. I was relying on a somewhat outdated perception that has remained fixed in my mind for quite a few years. It involved an experience I had in shifting my SME V ton... | |
| Sound differences between Galibier and Teres Cmk: What did the Teres wood platter sound like to you in contrast to the acrylic or the Galibier ? | |
| VPI HW 19 - replacing springs with pucks or cones Thanks, Mark. No problem, and your point is well taken. |
