| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER I tried this once before and it looks like the post feel victim to the mysterious Audiogon-moderator-random-post-delete.I was musing about using a Crimson as a DAC/linestage combo. IOW, with the optional VC and no preamp.My experience has led me t... | |
| Speaker that has a resonant cabinet like guitar The motivation for these types of speakers is the simple fact that it is impossible to build a speaker cabinet that DOESN'T resonate. The idea is, if you cannot damp all resonances (and you can't) you might as well make it work for you. Note that ... | |
| Denon DL103R with Shindo Monbrison Beragamo, the problem is that if I buy one I will then HAVE to have the A23 SUTs - that's just me. And there goes another $1500 with the IC. :)I bought a Koestu Black that came DAMAGED. Eventually I will get a replacement. Even though the Black so... | |
| Denon DL103R with Shindo Monbrison Dude, this is like so three weeks ago.Thanks to you & Aronsss. | |
| "Original Jazz Classics" To witness Evans & LaFaro 'dancing', as they did, seemingly reading each others' minds, mesmerizes me every time.But I have not heard the latter recording you mention and will make it a note to check that out - thanks for the tip! | |
| "Original Jazz Classics" I sure agree about cutting from digital - ugh!Yes, it's true, at $10/each you can afford to risk and 3 out of 5 good recordings is not bad at all. I don't know if I should send back the other two or not. Hardly worth the shipping.My copy of Waltz ... | |
| "Original Jazz Classics" Viridian - I see your point, but at this point, for me, there's so much great art still being discovered (by me) that's also well-recorded that I prefer to play in that camp. :)I guess I do have to call myself 'audiophile', then, as opposed to 'mu... | |
| Denon DL103R with Shindo Monbrison I asked a simple question, received an answer that indicated NO, this is NOT an ideal matching of cart to tranny, and so stated the (rather sensible, I think) decision that I wouldn't use the cart with the Shindo after all. I stated that I was not... | |
| Denon DL103R with Shindo Monbrison How exactly did you conclude that? Mr. Halpern mailed me offline after I'd posted the thread.No offense, but your post wasn't worth the effort it took. | |
| Denon DL103R with Shindo Monbrison Thanks. A $400 cart + $1K trannies needs to be way better than $1500 carts that work well with the Shindo trannies to be "giant-killer"... I will stay away from the 103.(FYI, I did get the same reply from Mr. Halpern.) | |
| Are there digital front ends with the body... Nilthepill: If so close, why bother with the analog? I'm guessing that's at least another $20K you've got tied up there? Just because of the records you've got that'll never be on digital?This thread has turned out to be quite interesting. I am st... | |
| Are there digital front ends with the body... Thanks for all the responses so far.I heard the Vyger table recently (RMAF) and it is a bit of a dry table. Cannot recall the cart. So, it is not horribly surpising it's close to digital.My Merrill/TriPlanar/Ortofon setup has considerably more 'bo... | |
| Tri-Planar with no anti-skate? Doug - thanks for the tips. I had seen your advice in old thread but largely forgot about it. I will certainly go re-read them.Am at RMAF enjoying myself this weekend. Great show. I must say that I think that we (Norvinz/Consonance) have some of t... | |
| Tri-Planar with no anti-skate? Right now VTF is set right at the recommended 2.5g. | |
| LO MCs carts with RM-9/Shindo pre? Thanks for all the thoughts. Thoroughly sick as I am, I decided that the carts I'm looking at outclass my table/arm and I'll just upgrade the whole shebang.I am looking at going to the Merrill MS2 - a Norvinz product, yes, and apparently an extrem... |
