| Repair of Classe products So are you opening up for business? | |
| Repair of Classe products I have few door stops, may buy one in the future and others own lots of units that will need repairs. Do you know of a US of A based tech that will service them or were you more curious about me?I remember back in the day when GAS closed their doo... | |
| Repair of Classe products Again, I'm not looking at sending anything to Classe given the nature of their solvency. As for any tech doing the work, I've tried many great techs and they would not touch it. One, for example, was Audio Classics, in Vestal, NY and I think they ... | |
| Thoughts on best budget phono pre-amp under $400? +1 on the AcousTech PH1. After receiving it put in another $7.00, upgrade the opamps and you'll have a preamp that betters most under 2500. | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? R2R is a different story. R2R using Dolby SR can be argued to be as good as, or better than, hi rez digital. D2D never made it because it is essentially a live recording. | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? Inna,Please enjoy your cassette recordings, as that is what it is ultimately all about. However, I could never imagine how a cassette without the use of Dolby would be an improvement in any regard. However, I respect the fact that you do. I have o... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? Maybe I’m wrong, but if your cassettes sound better than your turntable, then something is wrong with your vinyl set up or hardware. Cassettes can sound good but ultimately I find vinyl better. Now, if Dolby SR was used for all cassette mastering ... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? Geoffkait,Compression is added to get "punch". As a recording engineer I learned this from others and use it myself. If your kick sounds loose and flabby, add compression. It will give it punch. If the bass is a bit defused and lost in the mix, an... | |
| Audible Illusions M--Are you using built-in phono or external phono preamp? John Curl’s Gold Phono board is a special order phono board and only on select preamps. It also is made for low output moving coil cartridges. Given that the OP is using a BPS, which is moderate output, I doubt he has the Gold Board. The stock pho... | |
| Audible Illusions M--Are you using built-in phono or external phono preamp? I have a 3a with mm section. My AcousTech ph1 premium, with op amp upgrades blows it away. However, since I run LOMC's I really have no use for the mm section in the 3a. When I have run HOMC, my AcouSTech still out performs it. That at being said,... | |
| How was the sound of your TDSS upgrade to your Nuforce Ref 9 amps? I had him do the full monty for a pair about 1.5 years ago. His communication, care and work was A+. They are driving a modified pair of Maggie 3a's and sound wonderful. Full spectrum, with excellent drive. Absolutely no complaints. You should be ... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? I don't find that to be true for cassettes vs vinyl. | |
| Denon DL-160 Cartridge It depends on whether your ear likes it.Value is $35 to 100 depending on actual hours not guessed. | |
| Arm suggestions to replace Magnepan Unitrac on TD 160 Super There is another arm that has been getting great press, although, I have no experience with it. I am considering trying one, though. Check out this site: https://designbuildlisten.com/collections/the-wand-classic-tonearm | |
| Arm suggestions to replace Magnepan Unitrac on TD 160 Super I think a Graham arm on a TD 160 is extreme overkill and the table would not benefit from this excellent arm. The Jelco or Rega variants are within the price point for this table and can create an excellent end product. If you are considering a Gr... |
