| Opinions: Neuance Shelf for Linn Sondek Lp12 TT I received my Nueance platform that I ordered some time ago. It was sized to my Naim cdp, but it wasn't right for my system. The image was fuzzy and not clearly defined, bass was not as tight, and the pace seemed slower. I did a hardcore A/B betwe... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2 R_f_sayles,Like JD said, 1/16" of an inch or millimeters, it's that crucial, especially on toe-in/out.Forgot to mention, I had received my Nueance platform that I ordered some time ago during all this. It was sized to my Naim cdp, but it wasn't ri... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2 As of today this thread has had 3360 views, so I thought I should give an update. I had put two Supra Lorad pc's into my system, one on pre and one on cdp, I have since pulled them out and put my H-T pro ac-11 back on the pre and a stock JC1 pc on... | |
| Music for Riding a Storm Out? What is your problem Raquel???My mother used to say, "If you don't have anything nice to say, then shut the hell up!"Robin Trowers' Whisper Up a Storm from 20th Century Blues.Good luck Rhyno... | |
| HDCD'S Thanks to Jeff_e for a very comprehensive listing of HDCD's. | |
| What's the "worst" cdp for the money? This thread is the complete polar opposite of Stereophile, and I'm loving it! And just because the manufacturer of the cdp I own is mentioned three different times here, I take no offense, and perhaps I will learn something. I have a cdp to mentio... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2 Kevin at Upscale, being the cool dude that he is, has agreed to send me a different pair of GE Longplate 12ax7's (due to the occasional pop from one) to replace the Tungsram's. | |
| Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2 Well, this is all very interesting indeed...It was a rough weekend of not enjoying my music until Sunday. My initial impressions of the Tungsram tubes (8/29 post) was right on. There must be something wrong with these tubes, 'cause they sound like... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2 Thanks for the support guys (and the laughs).I'll keep you posted. | |
| Widespread Panic - Their best album? Only two responses on this and no common ground between them. Interesting. | |
| Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2 Tgun5, I've heard tube dampeners can sometimes make the soundstage more closed in. What say you?More fun...Well, this pre completely went in the shitter since I reported on 8/29. Dare I say, almost unlistenable. I'd be better off with a Bose Waver... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2 Well, do to some personal issues in my life I didn't get to spend as much time A-B'ing as I would have liked. And then there's the powering up/down, warming back up, etc. What a pain in the ass. Is it a fair comparison to pull tubes that have been... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2 Husk01, the tubes are listed above, but here they are again.Tungsram, Brimar, GE longplate, all 12ax7's from Upscale Audio. They are all very quiet except one of the GE's pops every once in awhile, but it's really not that bad. | |
| Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2 My dealer was nice enough to let me hang onto the tubes till next Monday, so I will try to do a comprehensive tube roll this weekend. I know the Supra LoRad pc worked wonders on my cdp, and again, I have two more to play around with. I'm going to ... | |
| Duke did the Sound LABs survive? I heard he's "livin' in his own private idaho." :-) |
