| Which is a better? SME M2-9 or Hadcock 242 I am in a similar situation considering different tone arms around the same price range. I have not heard either one, but since no one else seems to answer, here are some suggestions. These are very different arms you are looking at, a fixed beari... | |
| "Best" RCA IC's USED OR NEW LESS THAN $225 Well, looking at the responses so far you won't be less confused after your post. Sucess of cables is system dependent and any recommendation needs to be tested in your system. One option to find out is trial and error, based on general recommenda... | |
| Intel Mac Mini Gary, very good suggestion. The VdH sounds like a very good option.As hard drives are bcoming more and more affordable, this will be the most interesting path to go. Interestingly there are nice compact hard drives available for the Mac mini, that... | |
| Time for a "massive" turntable: Spacedeck vs Scheu Oz, thanks for your responses here and on the Asylum. Interestingly the two arms that everyone recommends more than any other are the Ace-space and the Moerch. Also, I just heard some rumors that the Ace-space is being improved again. I will have ... | |
| Time for a "massive" turntable: Spacedeck vs Scheu Also, just an important update on the side: I started a similar thread on the Vinyl Asylum and got some very good and helpful answers:Vinyl Asylum: Time for a "massive" turntable: Spacedeck vs ScheuVinyl Asylum: Nottingham Spacedeck: Spacearm vs M... | |
| Time for a "massive" turntable: Spacedeck vs Scheu Raul, thanks very much for your response. I have always been impressed with your analog setups and been following your responses on the forum. I wish I would be able to afford a Galibier or Simon Yorke, or even just an Acoustic Solid One. The Spac... | |
| Time for a "massive" turntable: Spacedeck vs Scheu Jaybo, if you look at my history of tables, I have owned Linn, Rega, Michell - all on the light rigid side. Also, I am still keeping a classic Thorens TD150 (really a mini Linn LP12) around. I like the Rega sound in particular, but right now I am ... | |
| Recommend relatively obscure high end tube preamps It was the singularly most musical (romantic) preamp I have ownedLooks like you should really give a Fi amp or preamp a try! Of course, also trust Gmood1 to come up with the most obscure and wonderful sounding gear out there. | |
| Recommend relatively obscure high end tube preamps What about Don Garber's new full function Fi preamp? Judging from his Fi Y pre and his amps, this one will be one of the nicest preamps around. And talking about esoteric looks...! | |
| Best 3 options for SET amps Gliderguider, now that you opened pandora's box...What amp did you use with the Abbys? In general, high efficiency speakers seem notoriously difficult to match with the amps. The Abbys sounded downwright awful with a Jolida 302b amp. A Bottlehead ... | |
| Best 3 options for SET amps Fernando, if you are limited in space, the Cain Abbys do have a fairly small footprint and can be placed failry close to walls. The size of the speaker is not necessarily correlated with the space they will need to sound good. From recollection of... | |
| Newbie looking for cheap dependable table Since Dave from Vinylnirvana is close by, I agree that Thorens will be a very good option for you (a TD150 or TD160 with a Linn Basik arm might be a good way to go). The Thorens requires adjusting of suspension every couple of years, but with good... | |
| Unison Unico experience? I had the Unico for about 3-4 months and did not like the sound at all. I tried a few different tubes (e.g. Mullard, Jan Phillips) but found it to be very veiled and lifeless with a slow, thick midbass and bass. I really wanted to like the Unico b... | |
| Michell motor is noisy:what to do? Wes, that's just nonsense from the distributor. My Michell Tecnodec is very quiet. I am sitting only 3 feet away and not a sound. Admittedly, my 30 year old Thorens TD150 is even more quiet, no motor sound whatsoever. Do you have a dealer close by... | |
| SCHEU Premier substitution Have you tried calling the US distributor, Hudson Audio imports in NJ, about the new armboard; I just talked to him two days ago I understand that after Thomas Scheu died a year ago operations at Scheu changed somewhat. His wife, has taken over op... |
