| CAT JL-2 Mk2 vs LAMM M1.2 ... on WP 6 or 7 John's suggestions are excellent--the IO was the principal unit that I was considering along with the Lamm, decided I couldn't fit the two chassis and I liked the lower noise floor on the Lamm. And, best of all, you can get one, if it turns up use... | |
| CAT JL-2 Mk2 vs LAMM M1.2 ... on WP 6 or 7 Schorly: I would not suggest a passive preamp with the Lamm LP2. I own that unit and, while I think it's superb, it only has 57 db of gain in the MC stage which, on some records cut at low levels and at least with my Koetsu RSP (admittedly low out... | |
| Lamm LP2 and WE417A tubes My unit is an early-production one (comparatively, anyway) and uses the WE 417As. The sound is excellent, this indeed is a top-class phono stage. I have no idea how it would sound with the Rayethons, though I'd expect it's a matter of personal tas... | |
| Duntech DL-15 speakers You should contact Duntech in Australia, they should be able to help, may even maintain replacement drivers for your serial numbers (they did for my old Princesses when I needed to replace the tweeters). I'm not familiar with Duntech's DL series, ... | |
| anyone listen to marching bands? Definitely get the Blast DVD, it's fun to watch. A friend of mine saw the group perform at the NJ Performing Arts Center and ran out to buy the DVD, which I saw at his home on a big screen with audio played over a Dynaudio Evidence Master/Levinson... | |
| CAT JL-2 Mk2 vs LAMM M1.2 ... on WP 6 or 7 Cannot comment on the CATs (the last CAT amps I heard were JL-1s, and they were extraordinary in some respects but overall a little tilted to the bright side for me--that might have also been in part attributable to the Wilson Grand SLAMMS they we... | |
| Vinyl Cleaning Fluid for VPI RCM Record Research Labs has some very good cleaning fluids. And VPI has some, as well, I believe. | |
| Spanish Guitar Glad to see you got the Jason Vieaux disc. I attended a recital of his at Merken Concert Hall in NYC a couple of years ago, he is an outstanding talent and a very nice guy. And an audiophile, he has a Linn Sondek, among other pieces! If you can ge... | |
| anyone listen to marching bands? I have an old record of a fine marching band playing college fight songs, titled "Hail to the Victors", but I guess that wouldn't interest you! UM, class of '72! Go Blue!! | |
| Interconnect test In my system, Kubala Sosna Emotion gets the midrange (as well as the rest of the frequency range) right. Can't speak for your system, though. | |
| MONSTER CD RINGS . How to Remove ? I have a number of discs with the rings as well. I don't know about taking them off, haven't tried (nail polish remover?), but they haven't hurt any CD motor mechanism I've ever had, so I wouldn't worry about that. The only problem I've ever encou... | |
| Argent Audio BOBS Check the archives too, there's a thread from last week, I believe, on this subject started by a very happy user of them. | |
| Sibilance -- that last little bit... I'm hoping someone with more technical experience than I, like Twl or Albert Porter, chimes in, but as I recall the Well-Tempered has a "dished" platter, where the middle is slightly lower than the outer edge of the record when you apply the clamp... | |
| Some random thoughts for Tube newbies Newbee's advice is excellent. Another thing I might mention is that, while I do like the NOS tubes, particularly for their longevity and the fact that my Jadis equipment was originally designed when they weren't NOS, don't automatically dismiss th... | |
| Twisted Lyrics : According to my Google search, it's "Sugarpie honeybunch." Your wife's logic is sound, but then again, whoever said Holland-Dozier-Holland had to be logical? I kind of like my friend's version. Now that we have better playback systems, and the cla... |
