| On good sounding inductors Dear Gallant Diva: I agree with Johnk: the silver Goertz.I try it the cooper ones too, the Mundorfs and many others but the Silver from Goertz are IMHO the most neutral/natural ones, no I never heard the NorthCreek so I can't say nothing about.Reg... | |
| Harshness in tweeters: the price of transparency? Dear Ktstrain: IMHO I think that there are ( at least ) two important subjects on what you are hearing like a " trouble " in the high frequencies: first is the use of a step-up transformer that always makes a heavy degradation to the audio signal ... | |
| Hansen Emperor or MBL 101E or Avalon Isis Dear Emigene: Like almost all the people posted: " you can't go wrong with either ".Now, if I was you and if I have that kind of money for an audio system speaker's quality performance improvement first I ask what do not like me about my current a... | |
| Monitors + sub or Floor standers? Dear Tboooe: Very good choice ( monitor plus subs that btw is very good choice in large rooms too. ).You could " think " on the own Usher monitors, are really good. The sub's choice is also very important subject and IMHO Velodyne could be a good ... | |
| Is two Subs better than One? Dear Samuellaudio: Some Preamps and processors come with two main outputs but if yours comes only with one pair then you have to use a Y connector where the left output goes to the left sub and the right output to the right sub, that's all.Some pr... | |
| Clearaudio Bluemotion w/ Virtuoso..which phono pre Dear Steve: I can't be sure that your " trouble " is on the phono stage,The Virtuoso is a very good cartrige but needs a good tonearm match and carefully set-up specially on the VTA. Unfortunately I don't have any experience with your tonearm ( an... | |
| Pioneer PL-630 Turntable?? Dear Johnnyb53: The 630 has very good DD design, it is very well isolated and the tonearm is really good. The Marantz is a fine item too ( I owned ) but I prefer this Pioneer.Regards and enjoy the music.Raul. | |
| vintage turntables? Dear James: I have it for around seven months. Your Phatom is very good tonearm it does not matters where you mount ( the 12xx is an option ) but with cartridges you want to use on it.Regards and enjoy the music.Raul. | |
| Pioneer PL-630 Turntable?? Dear Wepratt: I owned and really like it after too many years my " venerable " 630 is still spinning on my brother system. IMHO is a better TT than the Denon/Marantz.Regards and enjoy the music.Raul. | |
| vintage turntables? Dear James: Interesting link about. I read it and see that on some of those TT they use different tonearms and cartridges and not always the same ones.One thing that is a surprise to me is the SP-10 rating ( quality performance ) where them rate: ... | |

| DynaVector DV505 is it worth the hassle? Dear Lewm: Take a look to the 505 manual here:" 6. Arm resonance in low frequency range " , it is very objective to understand what you ask.Now, the 505 has a low effective mass ( sub-arm ) against the main arm. It is light, you speak about the 15... | |
| Upgrade turntable, arm or cartridge? Dear Dcaudio: Along a change on the tonearm maybe could be a good idea to growing-up the TT to MK IV/V status ( I don't if this could be or I'm totally wrong about. ).About tonearm, I understand that Oracle goes very good with SME 345/IV/V that ma... | |
| Upgrade turntable, arm or cartridge? Dear Dcaudio: Other than the Phonolinepreamp I agree with the post in favor to change the tonearm.Your cartridge is a great one but needs the right matching tonearm to " show " its quality performance and the ET one is not the " cup of tea " for t... |
