| Audiodesk Vinyl Cleaner Pro - Drying Issue Hi... I've got the Pro version, and am thoroughly happy with it though it does leave a drop or three behind from time to time. My solution is simply to let them air-dry for a bit. I bought a bamboo dish drainer that and, if the records are placed ... | |
| Accuphase E470 v. Luxman L509x Hi Honeybee, I owned and really enjoyed my Luxman L550-AX, but wanted a bit more power for my somewhat greedy ATC’s. Now I have an Accuphase E-470 and it would be difficult to overstate it’s exquisite quality on so many levels. First, it’s an exc... | |
| Have l become unstable? Hello Celtic, I'm listening to my ATC 40's right now, but in my case they are the somewhat unusual ATC HTS40's, the same as the SCM 40's but in an on wall configuration. Powered by an Accuphase E-470 with a pair of the small but tight JL Audio ... | |
| Can someone explain to me why : Accupahse Equipment is that expensive ? It’s the perfect storm....1) Accuphase gear is of exceptional quality.2) Accuphase components are exquisitely beautiful.3) While the Accuphase catalog is deep, they are rare.4) Employees of Accuphase are highly paid.5) The usual markups throughout... | |
| We give up perspective to avoid tone controls Hey Vintage Heath, good for you. I like your keep-it-fun attitude! | |
| We give up perspective to avoid tone controls Hello All, There are times when I tweak the heck out of even well recorded music.... Sometimes I listen to music at very low volumes and I max out the tone controls and the ‘compensate’ circuit of my Accuphase E-470. I’m surprised that listenin... | |
| Some Direction Please...... Hello, I'm sure those Harbeths are divine. And,of course, anything by Rogue is sure to be a quality piece. You are off to a very promising start. A few years ago I purchased one of the ultrasonic record cleaning machines and it was like get... | |
| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? Accuphase E-470 with phono option board and DAC option board. Paired with my ATC HTS40's, I can hardly imagine a more refined, sophisticated and musical component. | |
| Next upgrade With all due respect, slaw, I'm sure Ruston's DIY approach is amazing but the AudioDesk, at least MY Audiodesk RCM, cleans so well that there isn't enough dirt left in the grooves for anything to blow it away by "a long shot." | |
| Next upgrade Hello Peter, Don't you love our curse? No matter how good my system sounds I'm always careful to never let my wonderful (and indulgent) wife know that I'm completely satisfied. Terrible, I know. I had an Exact cart which was my first 'good' ... | |
| Nuforce STA200 hum noise, will a preamp solve it? Hello, I'm sure it's disconcerting to hear a hum in what should be a very quiet piece of gear. I'm considering buying one of the same amps for my office system. When convenient, try switching off every circuit in the house at the breaker except... | |
| Best analytical loudspeakers for strings (midrange)? Hi, I'm with shadorne, ATC's are sound microscopes. The motor assemblies of their in-house made drivers are massive and manufactured to an extremely high standard. Their Super Linear midrange driver has a magnet that weighs nearly twenty pounds... | |
| Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass) My ATC's could sound overly analytical with the wrong amp, but with an Accuphase E-470 driving them the sound is full, rich, and and warm.... but never lacking in detail. I dream of moving up in the Accuphase line! | |
| Wharfedale Denton vs Diamond 225 Yes, chrisr, it's been extremely reliable. It's on almost continuously. | |
| Accuphase E-470 or Luxman 590ax II ? Well thanks jafant and builder for the nice compliment on my pics. Gryphongryph, I couldn't imagine that you will be nothing less than thrilled with whatever you choose. My experience with both brands has been wonderful. I'd love to know your expe... |
