| What amp to tame Eggleston Works Esotar Tweeters? I had the Eggleston Rosa with that same tweeter. Pass amps work well with Eggleston. I don't think it is a problem with your electronics. I would experiment with first reflection points and speaker positioning - width and toe-in/out. I suggest rea... | |
| Goldfinger Statement, Lyra Atlas or Ortofon Anna? I did not see a mention of your tonearm. I think the matching of the tonearm and cartridge might perhaps be the critical factor in determining which of these three is best in an absolute sense. However, as was written by the others, it may just co... | |
| Digital microscope recommendations Jragsda, Do you know if this microscope will work on an Mac? The manual only mentions Microsoft operating systems. | |
| Clearaudio innovation wood or SME 20/3 Tom, that last sentence describes my SME 30/12 quite well. Despite what many have said and written about the SME sound, I find the tables very neutral. In my limited experience, both my SME 10 and 30/12 allow me to hear differences in recording qu... | |
| Clearaudio innovation wood or SME 20/3 Bill,You can email me at peterayer@comcast.net about the TW tables. I've heard the Raven, AC-1 and Black Night. I'd rather not take the focus off of the original post of this thread.Peter | |
| Clearaudio innovation wood or SME 20/3 Wrm57, I don't know to which turntables you refer, but these are some of the ones I have heard in fairly good systems:SotaBasisTWClearaudioTeresWalkerSMEBrinkmanDobbins The BeatI don't have firm ideas as to their differences as I've only heard SME... | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow Nope. Freak, we don't all agree. You are free to start your own thread with a new subject. | |
| Magico, Aerial, Dali My vote is for the Magico V2 solely based on one incredible dealer demo with my own LPs. At demo or used prices, I have not heard anything that I like more. Obviously I haven't heard everything and I'm not familiar with the Dali or Aerial models y... | |
| Clearaudio innovation wood or SME 20/3 Perhaps you can't go wrong, but there are sonic differences between the tables you mention and they can be large depending on how resolving your system is. There are also differences between the companies in terms of size, longevity, and service.F... | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow I predict that the next generation of Magico speakers will all be in the 93+ efficiency range. Of course I could be completely wrong, but they seem to be moving in this direction. Explosive dynamics is one of the major characteristics of live acou... | |
| Pass Labs XP 30 VS Ayre KXR Pre Has anyone actually heard these two preamps in the same system and done a direct comparison. The first three responders sound so definitive. On what are their opinions based? | |
| Clearaudio innovation wood or SME 20/3 I don't know anything about the Clearaudio tables, but I owned the SME Model 10 with V arm for eight years and now have the SME 30/12 with V-12 arm. I have not heard the 20/3, but I read that it's sound approaches the regular 9" Model 30. If you h... | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow Audiofreak and Jwm, I know what you are saying, and I've heard Magicos sound analytical and fatiguing and not like music. If you consider that "audiophile", that's fine. However, I've also heard them sound just as Mapman describes. Very "Musical" ... | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow Magico: Ferrari. Sonus Faber: Rolls Royce. Do you want to feel the road or travel in comfort? Both can be excellent. Both can be expensive. | |
| Do your speakers have enough "freshness" I can't describe it, but I know it when I hear it. |
