| Tonearm Options for Basis 2800 Thanks JWM - I am fully enjoying the Vector 4...Syntax thanks for the great cartridge pix...incredible. I will be coming to you for advice for my next cartridge... | |
| Tonearm Options for Basis 2800 Congratulations Jwm on the SA 9 tonearm! I thought about one for about a minute when I was considering the Vector 4 which I just bought and love. The Vector 4 is an engineering and sonic marvel.I also just replace my belt - can't believe how worn ... | |
| David Bowie "EarthLing" on vinyl You have taken my friend Bill's role but your not authentic, just cynical. | |
| What benefits to expect from tonearm upgrade I am weighing in late because I have been waiting on a new Basis Vector 4 - just put it in last week and as JPerry and Kurt Tank mention it is a huge upgrade. For me, it might be the most significant upgrade I have made in terms of sonic presentat... | |
| High output MC Great reco's here, my personal favorites are the Blackbird as John mentions and I am a big fan of anything Ortofon. | |
| Taralabs cables Audiolabyrinth - I do not, only have 1 pair and I am using them, the 0.8EX..Are you looking for some? | |
| Thiel CS3.6 with issues: take the chance? Agree with the others, obvious questions....could it have been other equipment?Did it happen on every recording? What was the source? Some recordings pull to the right because they were engineered that way.... | |
| What preamp should i buy Mr. Jazz I am using what i consider to be a great deal in the under 5 to 6K range, the Dehavilland Ultra Verve III. I have used it for around 3 years now, no itch to upgrade or feelings that I am missing something.It fits 2 out of 3 of your criter... | |
| Taralabs cables Yes, the CS6 moves more air so it is more dynamic. It also has a different tweeter/midrange design so it is a little more forgiving than the 3.6. It is also a little easier to drive. Still plenty revealing.I lived with the Eggy's for a while and c... | |
| Taralabs cables Keith - the Thiels are sounding great. They bite when asked to bite and the are mellow when asked! I will be anxious to hear your impressions of the Cobalt PC. | |
| Taralabs cables Audiolabyrinth I am not using the Elrod or any aftermarket PC. Haven't found one I like long term. Do they impact a system, absolutely! One cord can make a difference - I hear it and am not a naysayer. I just prefer stock cords in my system. I fin... | |
| the magic of power cords i have always used aftermarket PC's until I just recently put all my stock cords in and realized I was either choking my system or just changing it. I have tried maybe a dozen and own a few. I have always been somewhat of a cable junkie with IC's ... | |
| Thiel CS6 Compared with Eggleston Andra 1 Alan, that is exactly the case when I replaced the woofer on one of my Eggleston's. The wire to the woofer was VERY short. It just barely protruded out of the speaker cabinet. My wife had to hold the woofer and it was very cumbersome for me to des... | |
| Thiel CS6 Compared with Eggleston Andra 1 Hi Alan2, sorry about your woofer. Though it does sound like a DIY project and you can avoid shipping it! A simple desolder and solder in the new driver, I have done it before, not on Thiel, but another speaker.Curious, why not just put in a new o... | |
| New cartridge - Benz Micro or Ortofon Cadenza? Mulveling you make a good point "a touch of warmth, which I consider to sound very natural."I like that as well, the only hesitation I have with cartridges is the inability to hear in your system, on your table with your tonearm, in your room. So ... |
