| ATC SCM150 (or JBL Synthesis) (or JBL vintage) (or new Klipsch Jubilee) The preamp should be a neutral and natural one. CJ GAT, ARC Ref 6, Wavac PR-Z1 | |
| ATC SCM150 (or JBL Synthesis) (or JBL vintage) (or new Klipsch Jubilee) @millhomes, I love big speakers for the same reason as you suggested. Big speakers present dynamics big and effortless. And I have listened to a lot of ATC, Tannoys & Altecs. Here is one simple thing you need to know.ATC SCM150 is a big speake... | |
| What comes after Harbeth 30.1s? Tannoy Sterling GR. Not in your face, but proper grown up sound. Opens up a new era of dynamics and clarity compared to Harbeth 30.1.Audio Note AN/J. Very open sound and more neutral than Harbeth. | |
| cassettes CAN sound better than vinyl. Some time back I had a brand new Nakamichi DR-10 at my place. It was the first Nakamichi I had ever used. I recorded a CD to a Philips Chrome cassette. The cd player was an, Audio aero prestige capitol. To my surprise the cassette identical to the... | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above @lewm I didnt mean same as in equals. I just meant all 3 technics sounded like cut from a similar cloth. The Mk2 sounded bigger and more dynamic than 1200G. The Mk3 sounded like a fully grown up TT coming from the same stable. Big, bold, stable so... | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above @tzh21y I have had the 1200G, Sp10 Mk2 & Sp10 Mk3 (Dobbins), in my system, back to back. They are not different sounding. They are extremely similar with one better than the other primarily in terms of dynamics. In fact I would say the 1200G d... | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above @bfoura, I can't say if $3500 is a fair price or not without looking at the actual stuff. An SP10-Mk2 with its original black volcanic glass plinth in good condition commands $3k+ in general. But it should be cosmetically and functionally very goo... | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above @atmasphere, I was using the mat that comes with Sp10 mk2. Sounded better than any other mat I tried on 1200G. But my overall impression of dynamics did not change. | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier I know this amp. It is a warm sounding. You need a good neutral preamp. I won't get into tube preamps for this unit. Leema is very nice. | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above Ortofon tonearm cable. Reasonable and nice | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above I forgot to mention, the 1200G dug out more micro details than my Garrard | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above @bfoura, I have used the 1200G with Timestep mod and tried couple of tonearms on them too. I used it along side a Loricraft Garrard 301, Jean Nantais Reference Lenco Mk2 (still use it) & SP10 Mk2. Everything in the same room, same system. I pa... | |
| Which amp would you choose and why - Pass Labs XA-25 or First Watt F8? Forget about power for a moment. XA25 is a normal pass amp. If you like pass sound (smoothened out, clean, safe & a bit boring), get XA. If you are looking for something raw and true to source, get Firstwatt. It should satisfy your speaker's h... | |
| Tang Band 2145 in action @audiogon moderator, please DON'T close this thread ever. It is one of the funniest one in a long time. You will have a lot of users visiting for just this | |
| Perfect match for ATC speakers Having used/heard almost all the ATC speakers with various amps, it is one of the most authentic sounding speakers in the world. Hence it is worth going the extra mile to give it what it needs. SCM 11 is one of their easiest to drive speakers. You... |
