| The best speaker you ever heard? Oh boy do I wish this was reality. ^ | |
| Which Cables for SET Amp After a few false starts with midline stuff (Kimber 8TC, Tara RSC, Mapleshade, etc,) I just picked up some Speltz anti-cables for my 7 watt 300b into 93db Silverline Sonatina's. Very happy. Sounds like music. | |
| Best sounding phono preamp under $600 Check out the Hagerman Cornet kit. Delicious sound at a great price. | |
| cartridge for Nottingham spacedeck / spacearm ho I had the high gain version of the Fuji (I've since upgraded to a low output Airy 3x). The Lundahls are from K&K. I hardwired them into a Hagerman Cornet phono pre. It was not difficult, but you'll also want to think about soldering in the rig... | |
| cartridge for Nottingham spacedeck / spacearm ho I went from a Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood MM to a Zyz Fuji MC on my Spacedeck. The most obvious differences were microdynamics (or perhaps more delineation of individual dynamics for each instrument or sound?), as well as greater tonal richness and d... | |
| Need an Entry Level Phono Preamp If you can solder, the Hagerman Cornet kit is an exceptional value. When I got back into vinyl, this is the unit that got me listening to classical on vinyl rather then CD. | |
| Art Audio Vinyl one vs Sutherland PhD I'll chime in with a vote for the K&K as a great value and outperformer. It's dead quiet in my system and it makes beautiful music.. very unmechanical sounding. The selectable load switch is a convenient feature.I've heard the Vinyl One and it... | |
| Best Phono Preamp for budget system After your TT upgrade, consider a DIY kit such as the Hagerman Cornet.I've since upgraded, but I'm having trouble letting go of my Cornet.. to the point of wanting to build a second system around it. It's highly forgiving of surface noise and soun... | |
| The importance of proper set-up As a newbie making coarse VTA adjustments, how do I know if I'm adjusting for differences in the record thickness.. or merely adjusting for variations in sound engineering and mastering? Some of my records have a heavy, dark sound with lots of bas... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? D edwards: I wasn't interviewing to be a tech or engineer. They needed an experience operations guru to help streamline their project management and workflow process. I wouldn't have been speaking with them if I wasn't sufficiently qualified. Fran... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? I respect your preference and I'm sure your system sounds great. In fact, I'm sure I'd enjoy your system very much. But I prefer something different in my own home.Somewhat related:I just interviewed with one of the top multichannel system install... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? "recreates the 360 degree algorithms present in all reverb and harmonizing equipment used by professional studios to make recordings? "Okaaay. As far as I'm concerned we're talking about apples and oranges. I'll go with you that these effects soun... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? Aren't there already enough phase problems with 2 channel stereo? I've never heard a multi channel system that didn't sound less artificial or incoherent then most 2 channel. It's fine for "shish, boom, bah!" noise making.. but I'm into the reprod... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? Funny, Highend equipment's ability to expose faulty or "not as talented" musicianship is the primary reason why I spend the bucks for the equipment in the first place. I'm referring to the minute "human" element in a performance. Variations in del... | |
