| Verdict on Pure Note, Ridge Street w solid state ? My system is all solid state and the Ridge Street Audio cables perform wonderfully. Lak said it very succintly:exceptional realistic sound and dynamics, no harshnessI have two sets of MSE and had Robert make me two more. My moded 1200 will also be... | |
| To couple or decouple? That is the question. If I respond to you in my unique style Audiogon will throw you the towel once more and delete this entire thread.I own your Audiopoints and I plan to buy more. They do not work best in all scenarios, but they do have a place in my system. Given my... | |
| Monitor enthusiasts: musical subwoofers? My nearfield setup consists of Modwright Swans M1 mini-monitors (4" Kevlar/paper woofers) and two NHT SW-2Si 10" ported subs. No money for REL. I cross them over 24 db/oct @ 80 Hz with a Marchand X9 Deluxe electronic crossover (modded by Dan Wrigh... | |
| Phono preamplifier onboard or dedicated ? After listening several times to my infamous 'creature on steroids', Lak decided to go into analog. I told him he should first look around used record stores in Toledo and record shows and find out if the music he liked was available and in good c... | |
| Phono preamplifier onboard or dedicated ? Do you have records? | |
| The BEST power cable replacement for Arcam 73T There is no "BEST" in audio--just what works. You'll have to experiment, though the VenHaus Flavor 1 or 2 and a cryo'ed Absolute Power Cord are great places to start. You'll spend a LOT of money trying to outclass those power cords. | |
| What are the best receptacles and plugs? Search the archives and read Lak's posts. | |
| I found my ideal interconnect - Sonoran Plateau Well, Lak auditioned the Sonoran against the Ridge Street Audio MSE Genn II and sent the Sonoran's back. I did not get a chance to try them out nor listen to them in my own home. Nonetheless, Lak told me they are the best copper cables he's used. ... | |
| Does transport matter if using external DAC? Changing from direct drive to a CEC made belt drive made an overwhelming difference. It was so much that Dan Wright has the transport as we speak for a very serious mod, including installation of a Bybee filter and a Furutech rhodium plated IEC. | |
| Target turntable stand the best way to eliminate There's one or two in the classifieds right now. | |
| Goldring 1042 or Rega Exact Stefan, such a light platter relying on AC speed regulation cannot counter static and dynamic stylus drag forces. Music will not sound right. Sorry... | |
| To couple or decouple? That is the question. Words of wisdom:True coupling would be to run a long I beam below your equipment into bedrock. This would add the mass of that bedrock to your system mass. There is no real isolation as everything you use has a resonant frequency and your choice i... | |
| Goldring 1042 or Rega Exact Your weak link is the turntable. Don't waste your money on a new cartridge. The glass and particle board TT's are touted as *audiophile* decks but when matched to a good digital rig they don't stand a chance. Main reason is their unacceptable spee... | |
| ZYX RS series cartridges? I've been reading that they outperform the Shelter cartridges. This brand does interest me a lot. Dusty is selling them. |
