| ARC SP16 vs SP8 Barruch, I don't mean to sound critical here but I believe too many people waste money changing gear when a better system set up might give them what they are looking for. If you were 6' away with speakers spaced 4' apart I'm not surprised if it s... | |
| What is the best amplifier for Tannoy Kensington ? Ralph, since I never heard your M-60s with any Tannoys I shouldn't recommend them. But based on Gizmo's experiences and writings, I'll guess they would be a wonderful match.Also, I believe the Atma-Sphere amps are among the most musical and satisf... | |
| What is the best amplifier for Tannoy Kensington ? I'm a little surprised that a dealer would recommend a 300B (7 wpc?) with the Kensingtons by referring to Jeff Day's review. Jeff has the Westminsters which I believe are at least 6 dB higher efficiency than the Kensingtons (99 dB vs 93 dB?).I don... | |
| Need a receiver for Klipsch Heresy speakers A couple of years ago when I was interested in the Heresy speakers I read several recommendations on the Klipsch site talking about the magic between the older Harman Kardon 430 receiver and the Heresy speakers.While they are older, the cost of bu... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Part of the problem here may be in how any of us defines a "live music" performance. Unfortunately, there has been a trend for "electronic" reinforcement to the extent where it is difficult to find a truly acoustic live performance. And once elect... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, et al -It seems this street musician experience is one that many of us have shared. For me it was during my lunch hour in our downtown area. I wasn't even on the same street but had to turn the corner and walk another block before I met up w... | |
| How can I tell what version of an LP is best ? Moonglum made a point I believe is often overlooked, "Pressing quality can vary depending on the condition of the stamper".My simple question, would you rather have the last record pressed from stamper #1 or the first record pressed from stamper #... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nikola, that must have made it difficult for your mother to get close to him, unless she was his barber! | |
| Build a new system around pair of Snell Alll's? I must say I'm surprised by the replies to this post, not that I can suggest anything better.I've read that Audio Note admired Peter Snell's designs and in fact copied a couple of models for their own speaker line. And Audio Note amps range from w... | |
| Old NAD or newer high powered Denon? Hifibear, hopefully a good decision, but I must add some cautions.Any ST-70 will be old. I built one from a kit in the late '60s as the foundation for my first stereo system. It remained a current product up until the mid-'70s I believe. Then a su... | |
| Old NAD or newer high powered Denon? Larry, great minds think alike -- ST-70.Hifibear, your objection to tubes isn't clear, "imagine missing tubes". You suspect your kids might steal them? Many Dyna ST-70s can be found with original cage which is screwed on to the chassis. If the lit... | |
| Tonearms With Horizontal Cable Exit Thom, check with Cardas. I believe they offer a right-angle 5-wire connector for tonearms. I know someone does.And while Mosin normally offers excellent advice, my EPA-100 has the cable plug straight out the bottom (vertical), just like most other... | |
| Old NAD or newer high powered Denon? Hi Hifibear,I have some experience with Vandersteens, although not any of their Ones. Still, I have a few suggestions.First I would contact Vandersteen and ask them for minimum recommended amp size based on your room, music, and typical listening ... | |
| Graham Phantom1, Kuzma Stogi Ref, Naim ARO Pani, I only have experience with one on your list, the Kuzma Stogi Reference. However I have owned many other arms during my decades in this hobby and the engineering of the Kuzma continues to impress me. The bearings are outstanding, set up is f... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,"All these will go to Axel after I make a " fast " test on it"Perhaps the most important thing I learned since reading your posts over the past few years is the potential for fine tuning any cartridge by not only VTA and VTF but also matching... |
