| Inner sleeves versus none? probably just laziness mixed with careful handling. not recommended. | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice "off" in what parameter? Horizontal is controlled by left and right cones under the plinth. Tangency is controled by headshell/cartridge/overhang adjustments. Am I missing something? | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 I think Raul is a very kind, compassionate, respectful and experienced man who thinks his preamp is the best; and that's ok with me, even if, for my purposes, I were to disagree (which I am not in a position to do). | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Dgob,the other element that's missing in your description is the PA used at the Aswad concert. If the concert was not unamplified, the amplifiers and speakers, as opposed to the mixing board and recording device, are likely to lack the subtlety of... | |
| Which turntable Rega, Pro-ject or Clearaudio Mji123,perhaps you could share a blow by blow. | |
| What Makes a Good RIAA or Line Stage? "Since the recording likely does not sound like what you would have heard live from a seat in the audience, if you have set up your audio system to sound like what you'd hear live, it is almost certain that your audio system is modifying what's on... | |
| Which turntable Rega, Pro-ject or Clearaudio taste in sound? warm/rich or fast/tight? | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Thanks Dgob; all the more reason to hear more specific comparisons to known references so I can know what you mean. Of course, trying the piece out, alongside others, in my own system would trump all words. In lieu of that... | |
| Project Debut III vs. Music Hall MMF 5? Bruno,I highly recommend getting a better table and as cheap a phono stage and cartridge as you can with the idea of upgrading them when funds allow. The better table/arm will by far make more difference. The recently revised Rega P2 is a good way... | |
| Reference level playback "correct" for what? By using that word, you seem to be assuming that the your priorities, which you have expounded on at length, are the "correct" ones. I use my system to recreate a musical experience. You seem to use yours to optimize technical ... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Thanks Groovey, I had read the original which is why I wanted to pursue it further. I am well aware of Raul's generous presence here and generosity therein. He is a testimony to well meaning directness; still only one point of view, however experi... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 I believe "Experience with Raul's Essential 3150" can include real comparisons to other known preamps. Obviously, this would shed light on the character of the 3150, which, if I'm not mistaken, is the topic of this thread. 'nuff said, eh? | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 I believe I made myself quite clear in my response to Gregadd, and Albert stepped up to the plate admirably, if a little less specific than I would have prefered. My question stands, as well as a wish for comparisons to any and all other contender... | |
| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice The platter size shouldn't matter. I'm not sure how to answer the rest of question though. | |
| Do high level sub inputs really sound better? Pierre brings up a separate issue in his tip. Running the mains full range and using the sub as out of the way as possible keeps the bulk of your music uneffected by the sub as well as not having to go through the extra degradation of the crossove... |
