| Turntable, but which one? I suggest the SME 10 on top of a Vibraplane. With the SME arm, the new motor controller, this is a great combination. I owned one and did not find it dark. The bass is not as great as my SME 30/12, nor is the background quite as black, but for the... | |
| Magico S5 review For those who are thinking SS amps aren't right for Magicos, I assure you the large Pass Labs XA.5 series are a very good match. If you prefer large tube amps, the XA.5 are certainly an alternative to the Solution/Spectral sound. I'm still curious... | |
| Preamp recommedations for Pass Labs XA-100.5 I took my Pass XA160.5 over to a friend's house to compare the Pass XP-30 to the Ayre KX-R(?). They both sounded excellent, but if I were to buy one, I would choose the Pass pre. It was slightly smoother with less emphasis on the high frequencies.... | |
| 12" Tonearm What Have You Heard & Recommend? I did a direct comparison between my 9" SME V and my 12" SME V-12 arms on my SME 30/12 turntable in June. The armboard can be rotated 180 degrees to facility the comparison. Tonearm cable and cartridge were the same. Both arm/cartridge combination... | |
| Magico S5 Debut David Michael Audio These seem like Magico's answer to the Wilson Sasha. Has anyone compared them to each other? | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review Thuchan, Congratulations on your blog. It is quite nice and has some great information. Thank you for the link. | |
| Magico S5 review Mreapoe100,Congratulations on your new S5. I am a big Magico fan, owning the Mini II. The V2 and Q3 where in the best dealer demoes that I have heard. I have not yet had a chance to hear the Q1 or S series speakers. I'm curious about how the S5 co... | |
| Magico S5 review Has anyone directly compared the S5 to the Q3? I'm curious about the differences in sound. | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review If one was seriously considering the NVS, Onedof and Caliburn, it seems that the NVS is the best choice simply because I think there is only one Onedof in existence and I read somewhere that the Caliburn is close to going out of production. May ju... | |
| Emma Watson- audiophile? I'd be tough to concentrate. | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review I just reread the review. Fremer does like the turntable and I would love to see one and hear it in person. But I wish these reviews were more critical describing both the strengths and weaknesses of a design. There is no mention of speed adjustab... | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review Raul, How do you "know" that the Ondof and the NVS have perfect speed stability and accuracy? I'm not aware of any testing to prove this.Also, does anyone know if their speeds are adjustable? After having a turntable with no speed adjustment and n... | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review Raul, I see your point. One "truth" is the 25th row center at the Boston Symphony Orchestra. If that is one's reference, we have still quite a way to go with our music reproduction systems.Regarding the NVS turntable: Has anyone tested its speed a... | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review Raul, you are a designer of phonolinestage and a tonearm. During the development process, don't you reject ideas that don't work and try to create the best device you are capable of making? Or are you just one more designer going down a blind path... | |
| Emma Watson- audiophile? Albert, and all this time I thought your Tuesday night audio sessions were all male. No wonder they are so popular. Nice photo. |
