| Are Harbeths really "all that?" Yeah, let's knock that 'old technology' as EVERYBODY knows that ceramic or metal drivers with complex crossovers in skinny, dead cabinets are the ONLY way to make speakers that sound like music. | |
| dumb question...I apologize Buff, have you noticed how difficult it is to find non-well-reviewed components? :) | |
| dumb question...I apologize Derbim, what you're proposing is exactly how stand-alone phono stages are designed to work. A phono pre bumps up to 'line' voltage suitable for a line pre-amp, just like, say, a CDP.Almost none of them have a vol control anyway so you could not go... | |
| It costs me $100 a week to listen to vinyl Raul,I respect your op on MM carts. I have had a couple that I liked. But could you recommend something specific to try that would perform well on a heavier arm like an SME 3012? | |
| It costs me $100 a week to listen to vinyl Quit listening to the reviewers. I think anyone who truly has an ear for acoustic music realizes that a < $2K vinyl setup with a Get a 103 or 103R (with a suitable arm!) if you don't want a high "hourly rate" with your vinyl.(My other hobby, or... | |
| DAC with the best midrange ever..... All oversampling DACs turn acoustic music into artificial garbage.The mentions of MHDT are right on the money. They are surely impossible to beat at their price point.For more $, the Audio Note DACs are the best. | |
| Cart mounting template for SME 3012 It looks like there are simple, universal protractors I can use. Who knew? (Almost everybody, probably.) | |
| Cart mounting template for SME 3012 You're referring to vinylengine. Yeah, I had found that. Problem is that it's not to scale - you can't just print & use. But I'll give it another look. | |
| Shindo Auriges vs. Cary SLP98 Vinyljh, IIRC you're somebody who quite knows what he's talking about ;), but I used a Blackbird into the Monbrison's MM input and it was *great*.The need for gain is obviously system-dependent - if you don't need a ton, and most don't, a 2.5 mV c... | |
| What do you think? I have had my photos used by others on at least three occasions I can recall offhand. I suspect there are more as these are just ones I came across by chance.The way I handle it is to just send a polite, ribbing email like 'Guess you liked that ph... | |
| You can't have too many apostrophe's Tabl10, you make an interesting point, which I myself have noted: even most non-native-English speakers have better grammar skills than the average American. Virtually none of the immigrants I know display the same chronic lack of knowledge of bas... | |
| You can't have too many apostrophe's Several typos in that last post!Not because I don't know any better and don't WANT to know any better, though! ;) | |
| You can't have too many apostrophe's That's funny, Mumbles, as slow drivers in the left line drive me NUTS!They seem to come in two categories: those who have no clue they are holding everyone up, and those who are fully aware of it and don't care. That's it - perfectly pace that car... | |
| can a tube-o-phile be happy with ss? Ojgalli, I can hear live, unamplified jazz on a weekly (or more) basis if I want to, and for a long time I did.(Now - most of the time I prefer the smoke-free environment of home, where SETs and vinyl make the experience as life-like as possible!)... | |
| How did you discover audiogon? Mt10425 wins! Close the thread. |
