| Interconnects for BAT I have the same set-up. I currently use valhalla interconnect and speaker cables with great results. FYI valhalla (at least in my system) is not forward sounding. I have also enjoyed Audioquest Silver internconnects SKY, and Kilimanjaro (now K2). ... | |
| What Record Clamp for LP12? I would not use a clamp with the lp-12. As mentioned you can stress the bearing and damage it. The table was not designed to be used with a clamp. If you are looking for a cheap upgrade I would get the Extreme phono donut mat. Definitely more sens... | |
| Powercord to hydra python/Anaconda Alex, have you used the Shunyata cords described? Here is a direct answer. If you can afford it yes it is absolutely worth it. The Anaconda will in a word be more effortless. The added depth, dimension , and power will be noticable. I too have BAT... | |
| Phono stage with gain control? PS Audio GCPH Phono Stage. $1000 new and very good. | |
| Pat Metheny Fans, Great Suggestions Please ?? I prefer the ECM era: Bright Size Life, Watercolors, White Album (favorite), New Chautauqua (solo guitar), As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls, 80/81 (Live). This is essentially the original Metheny group and I think will stand the test of ti... | |
| Cost no Object but Small Room I think Wilson Benesch speakers sound great and work well in small or larger rooms. I would look at the ARC or Discovery. Both are ported on the bottom making them work in a boundary situations. In your room I would consider putting them on the lo... | |
| Headphone Amp Recommendation I would match up your AT with an amp that works best with lower impedance phones. Creek OBH21 can do low or high impedance (more dynamic) or the GRADO RA-1 battery (smooth and very natural sounding with very good detail). Not sure of the Meier but... | |
| Headphone Amp Recommendation Which headphone are you using. Matching amp to phones is critical. | |
| Esoteric X-03 SACD conversion? The SA-60 and DV-60 also always play DSD | |
| VK-31 or other BAT preamp upgrade Balanced AudioThanks for the info. How recent are the factory's capacitor imporvements? My vk-p5 with six pak is about 3 years old. | |
| Need advise on rack for turntable I agree on the wall shelf. The target pro shelf model is a little bit larger and I believe large enough. If not you can get another board of some type and then reduce using cones. If you do not use a wall shelf then use a short floor rack. The Sol... | |
| anyone with experience of the "CD lathe" Yes, and the improvements to the quality of music reproduction is significant. I do not need to know all the physics. This tool is the real deal. My problem is finding the time to cut the cds. | |
| Shipping Aesthetix Calypso/tube gear, in general My experience with this unit shows that it is shipped from the factory with tubes removed. With the Velcro top it couldn't be easier. The dealer should have given you the tube boxes. The instructions are clear as to tube installation. | |
| Receivers With Full HDMI Switching Marantz. They sound very good as well. http://us.marantz.com/Products/172.asp | |
| Dense, powerful sounding TT, decent top $3500 max? Avid Volvere. About 1k more than your budget but works very well with SME (bolts directly to the subchasis, power bass and dynamics of a non suspended table; depth, and detail of a suspended table). Very easy to set-up and extremely well made. You... |
