Vinyl vs. Hi Resolution Computer Audio
My server set up (via Vista/XX High End and ESI Juli@) sounds significantly better to my ears than my highly modified CD/SACD player which I have now sold and very good indeed with high resolution files. Very full sounding, detailed yet relaxing m... 
ASR Basis Exclusive/Vector 4 combo - balanced?
Dre, thanks once again for taking the time to listen so that you could give such a clear comparison between the two terminations. The noise level comparisons, given the way the Basis PSTT phono cable is terminated should be as you have stated with... 
ASR Basis Exclusive/Vector 4 combo - balanced?
Dre, many thanks for your very detailed response. Most helpful. Did you find this generated less noise than the RCA connection of your phono stage or was balanced the only option for it? Also were there any obvious sonic benefit for you in going t... 
REL Strata III - faint crackle/pop sounds
I had a similar problem with my Stentor 111. Not sure if it what you have but there were crackles on turn on and during play at times as well and I used to keep my unit on all the time. It turned out the be the protection circuit and the problem w... 
Verity Parsifal or Magico V3 or Wilson Benesch ACT
I have heard the Parsifals though not in my system and was impressed with their presentation but I have not heard the V3's. I have the Wilson Benesch Act's and they are superb speakers which I drive very easily with an Accuphase A50V in a room sli... 
break-in for Marantz SA-7S1
I have had a couple of Marantz players. First came the CD7 and I replaced this with a RAM modified SA11S1. I did hear with the standard SA11S1 the same hardness Mr Tennis is complaining about and which was absent from the CD7 but also noted better... 
Accuphase c280l
Apologies, I now see you mean C280L. My only comment would be that not all changes which are described as updates to all things are for the better but generally and in most areas they are! Materials and components and even design expertise do impr... 
Accuphase c280l
Sorry but can we clarify? Are you contemplating the new C 2810 or the older C280? I don't think there was a 2801.If it is the newer model I guess as with any piece of equipment you will get pros and cons but as a user of the earlier C290V I can as... 
Patricia Barber MFSL 180g LP or SACD?
Well I have the 45's of Modern Cool, Companion and Nightclub. Keeping the musical selections of each album out of the equation I would rate them sonically 1. Nightclub ( by quite a margin IMHO)2. Companion3. Modern CoolI agree with sonofjim that M... 
45 vs 33.3 RPM
Rosedanny, 45's like 33 1/3 rd's are not created equal and your observation regarding the lack of discernible difference between the two "Claire de Lune" pressings is not surprising. I had a copy of Classic Records 200 gram 45 rpm release of Norah... 
Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions
Just to add my voice regarding the virtues of the Mint LP. Having read some of the comments on this thread I took the plunge and ordered one and I must say I am very impressed. Very easy to use as long as one remembers the importance of light, pat... 
How important is the speaker/room interface?
While I can understand how the often mentioned WAF can be a major consideration even for those of us with very accommodating significant others it can be a case of just not knowing what is the right thing to do. It is just easier to change a wire ... 
Can you Listen to Vinyl Casually??
My listening has never been at an ambience level and I used to sit down and listen intently to digital but in truth I am now so drawn to analog that I seldom listen to digital, even SACD. Yes, I do have a great deal more invested in analog than di... 
Anyone experienced with Rolf Kelch Ref table?
Sirspeedy, why not contact Rolf directly and get the email address of an owner? He seems quite rightly very proud of his work and I'm sure both he and owners would like to discuss their pride and joy with someone as interested and knowledgeable ab...
