| Weird issue with my VPI... please help I would also suspect and look at tweaking the VTA. Does your arm allow for easy consistent adjustments there? The Shelter is a hell of a cartridge and should be fantastic if it's VTA is adjusted correctly and this can be done by ear. | |
| Kharma 3.2.2: which tube amp to use? Have had the 3.2's with ML2 and it's plenty good, even with very loud technorave music, and to me the only amp I'd use with them. I did have a friend who had ML2's with them then dropped them for the ML1.1. I think the soundstage opened up a littl... | |
| Shindo VS Doshi Samuel, yes they were all on my Wilson Maxx2 based system with a couple of different amps and front ends including ML2 Lamm's, some amps that Doshi rebuilds and I don't recall the others (there may have been a Shindo or two). Also had the Audio Re... | |
| Shindo VS Doshi What are you looking for in particular? I've done the comparison and they certainly are 2 of the world's best. You need to hear them in your system at the same time to appreciate the differences. Most in the room at the time preferred the Doshi, I... | |
| Hooverphonic anyone? If you like Hooverphonic, try Future Sound of London... Lifeforms is a good place to start. | |
| Center channel to match Wilson Audio Sophia's? Another Sophia is the only answer if you really want a ctr to match. I've tried the Wilson center and have to say that if you REALLY want to do it right, there is NO substitute to getting another Sophia. Phantom is your next best bet. | |
| For those who "sold" Dynaudio Evidence speakers Tomer had some nice rec's. To add more fuel to the fire, er I mean, to the list, I'd highly recommend that you listen to the Shindo speakers as well. They're at the same price point approximately as a new pair of temptations and may give you pause... | |
| Conrad Johnson Act 2 or Act 2.2 Audioblazer - are you using any power conditioning? The ACT should not run through any power products or it will sound somewhat restrained and flat dynamically. | |
| For those who "sold" Dynaudio Evidence speakers I moved Temptations for Kharmas then Wilson Maxx2's and was pretty happy about the moves although the Tempations are magnificent at what they do well. The Temptations were very resolving but just not doing it with my (at the time) Krell 750mcx mon... | |
| Act II tube rolling I second that opinion. Am curious what it is you're trying to achieve by doing so as well... The ACT2 seems to strike an amazing balance. You might try playing around with power cords and outlets (I like the Oyaide with the CJ) as it has a tremend... | |
| multichannel amplifier for B&W 805 S BattuI'm running the ARcam 350 on 803S, HTM3S and CRMS and it's a killer musical combination, in some ways a giant beating combination with great inner detailing and musicality. Do I wish for more power, yes, but you could spend a lot more money f... | |
| for best lp sound, Kondo or Shindo? PcostaYou're implying that the Shindo preamps have a sound. Care to elaborate? | |
| Best show of the U2 Vertigo Tour? Bought Chicago based on some AVS forum recommendations and am watching/listening to it now and its a spine tinglingly great concert. Excellent sounding DVD as well to be sure! Great bass track and very dynamic/well recorded but only on DTS. the st... | |
| Toshiba HD DVD player as Transport VERY good transport as far as I can tell when I get myself to use it for CD and not have an HD DVD filling its innards. I'd say that applies and can't hurt to try it. Regarding the comments of it not being a good standard upsampling DVD I can't sa... | |
| Best processor/switcher/scaler for new ht system ? I second MikeLs assessment after having looked at the Anthem D2 and trying to make a call between all in one and separates. I just ordered the Crystalio2 after having tried the Lumagen HDQ and after having tried DVDO's and ordering and cancelling ... |
