| Mazzy loves Little Feat! @bdp24 - Great story! Thanks for sharing. Los Straitjackets plays in the area frequently, as Eddie Angel was born in Albany NY. Aforementioned dive bar is in Troy NY (best chicken wings in the entire area, but I'm biased) and has a small concer... | |
| Mazzy loves Little Feat! I saw Nick Lowe eating lunch with Los Straitjackets at my local dive bar last Friday. They were en-route to Syracuse NY for a gig with Elvis Costello at the Landmark Theater the next day. | |
| 300b lovers Best thread on Audiogon in a long, long, long time. Great information, and has me wishing I could attend the Seattle show. | |
| Speaker Cables - Long Run "Also, consider moving your amp next to your speaker and using long interconnects to your preamp. A better sounding alternative." I've never understood this advice. So, sending a line level voltage (typically a volt or two at most) for 20 fee... | |
| Why so few devices with BNC's?? "BNC is an acronym for British Nut Connector" Incorrect. The acronym is for Bayonet Neill–Concelman. | |
| A cartridge with more bite, please and thank you I did indeed. Hope all is well, and happy holidays to you and yours! | |
| A cartridge with more bite, please and thank you I've ran several Lyra and now an Audio Technica ART9 XI on my Triplanar (a decidedly medium mass arm) with no compliance or resonance issues whatsoever. | |
| What Gear Has Disappointed You? All Rega moving magnet cartridges - dull, boring, and thick sounding. Ortofon SPU Royal N - harsh, shrill, lacking in musicality. Not an Ortofon fan in general. Vandersteen 2ce Signature - if you like a blanket over your music and own a 250 wpc... | |
| Field coil dava cartridge A fine summation. | |
| Well I joined the Silversmith FIDELIUM Speaker cable club today Huy, The cables are more robust than they appear. No special treatment or handling is required. As for the cats (I'm owned by two as well), I'd recommend a door for your dedicated audio room. Happy listening. | |
| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? Sounds like a router or wi-fi extender/repeater. I too would go with the elimination process described above. It has to be something in the house (unless you live next to a broadcast transmitter or a ham radio enthusiast). Good luck. | |
| Hattor Audio preamps? I've used a Khozmo volume control/ "preamp" for several years now in two different iterations, and I would be hard pressed to go back to an active preamp despite having owned a few excellent ones through the years. Sonically, it's about as transp... | |
| Solid State Phono Stages @thiefoflight Thanks for the update. Honestly, your experience with both phono stages is a classic audiophile conundrum - what do I like better on any given day with any given recording? Apples and oranges as they say. Good luck! | |
| Solid State Phono Stages Thank you for the update. I'm curious as to your final assessment. | |
| Solid State Phono Stages @photomax, Well said. This has indeed been a very instructive and informative thread free of the destructive degeneration of most threads on Audiogon these days - kind of what it used to be like around 10 years ago. OP, keep us updated. |
