| Best amp for gallo ref3a speakers 9 used pairs of these on Agon right now, with only two pending sales. You would think you should get plenty of answers, since there seem to be lots of people who have tried and failed with them.Oz | |
| Time for a "massive" turntable: Spacedeck vs Scheu I have not heard any Moerch arms, but I have owned two Spacedecks and both the Space arm and now the Ace-Space. Other arms I have had on this table:RB600Bluenote BorromeoBluenote BorgheseOL EncounterTo my ears, none had the synergy of Nottingham's... | |
| What phono stage candidates should I consider? If you are shopping in the 4000.00 price range, you should put the K&K phono stage on your list. You just might be able to keep 2K in your pocket for records.Ozwww.kandkaudio.com | |
| Goldpoint Passive Preamps If you like it now, the best is yet to come. It's hard to describe how a TVC in the proper system can sound better than the most expensive tube preamps I have heard or owned. Give it a couple hundred hours and you will surely be impressed.Oz | |
| Salk HT3 vs VAS VR4jr I am somewhat in agreement with Dave. While I wouldn't say I hated the Sr.s, in a side by side comparison with the DB-99s, there was no contest. The DB-99s were muuuuuccch better. I would love to see a pair of them come up on the used market when ... | |
| Teres Motor on a VPI HW-19 Turntable From what Doug describes, you should probably pass on the Teres motor. If the SAMA doesn't get you where you want to be, then it's probably time to dump the HW19 and move on. It's really a dinosaur in the VPI line anyway.Oz | |
| Warm speakers? >I'll get a larger listening room (13X14).<If this is larger, what are you using now, a closet?Oz | |
| Merlin TSM-mm placement >and toed in pretty much directly at the listeners ears<I thought Bobby recommended firing them directly ahead, sans toe in. Maybe I misread that somewhere....Oz | |
| phono preamp advice To further elaborate on Sit's thread. Check out the K&K Audio preamp for around $1900.00. Kevin designed and builds the Art Audio Vinyl Reference for them, and this is about as close as it gets. Great sounding preamp for less than half the cos... | |
| Beeping sound coming out of left speaker? >Just recently I've been having these strange beeping sounds coming out of my left speaker every so often.<Maybe it's backing up......Oz | |
| poor vinyl There is a huge gap between VG and NM. VG can be garage sale records that look like they were tap danced on. NM should be just that, near mint. While VG might = Very Good, it sounds much better than it actually is. I would never buy a used VG reco... | |
| Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They? They certainly look nice. But how can any designer say a speaker will work on stands from 12" - 24" tall? That is a very broad range and if one extreme is correct, the other one has to completely wrong.Oz | |
| Amp recommendation for Maggies 1.6Q You should ignore any advice that says you need a ton of power with 1.6s. What you really need is a good tube amp, Maggies love tubes. I powered my modified 1.6s with a Music Reference RM9 to seemingly impossible levels. But quality over quantity ... | |
| Which Phono Pre to upgrade to? I second the recommendation for the K&K. For about $1900.00 out the door you get a world class phono stage that would be very hard to match at the price.www.kandkaudio.comOz | |
| tube amps with El 34s your favorites ?? Music Reference RM9. Hard to beat......Oz |
