| Dynavector XV1-S and step-up Raul, I know you have a lot of experience with analog, but I'll have to disagree with your posts on the Shindo. I know you have an existing aversion against step-ups, but it would be wrong to judge the Shindo implementation without first hearing i... | |
| Dynavector XV1-S and step-up Also, does anyone have any practical experience with different step-ups for the XV-1? | |
| Dynavector XV1-S and step-up In my opinion, gain is not the most important issue in choose the right step-up; the difference in gain of a 1:10 (20dB) to a 1:20 (26dB) step-up are really not that big. 6dB is easily compensated by the volume control. Also, it really depends on ... | |
| How does one choose a phono stage. For your Dorian I really do recommend a solid state phono. The one I really liked with my Lyra Argo (i) was the Vacuumstate JLTI and Pass Xono (there is a disclaimer here somewhere). I preferred both the JLTI and XOno to Aesthetix, EAR, and Suther... | |
| How Much Does Damage Affect Value? Looking at the package - it looks like it was double boxed with the original foam correctly in place which would NOT be inadequate. I don't quite see how the damage could have happened though the box or I am missing something on your pictures. | |
| Voltmeter for azimuth adjustment? The thread Doug mentions is a good start. I would add that a voltmeter alone is difficult to use as the crosstalk signal is very small. If you insist on a voltmeter, I would add a 1KHz bandpass filter (assuming you use a 1KHz signal on the test re... | |
| soliloquy 5.3 and 5.3i Here is an old thread with all the answers:Questions for Soliloquy fansFrom the post by Jax2:The 'i' versions of the speakers are the newer versions of each of the models. They went from hard corners on their cabinets to rounded corners. They also... | |

| USPS Priority Mail Last time USPS took 3 inches out of a box - must have dropped the box on a sharp edge from a few feet height to protrude the box by that much. Luckily the $4500 tube amp survived without any damage. In all my 100+ transactions, I never had a probl... | |
| Why are European Amps more expensive than Domestic They are asking the same question on the other side of the pond regarding The Pass XOno retails for 5500 Euro = $7800 in Germany - here you can barely sell on on Audiogon used for $2000 (new $4200). | |
| Choice of Koetsu cartridges? For the Ortofon 309D I would consider an SPU - I recently heard it on a friend's Raven AC with Ortofon 309D and really liked the combination. Very different from the Da Vinci/ZYX Universe or the Schroeder Reference/XV1 my friend runs as well, but ... | |
| Coincident Super Eclipse or Devore Nines? Hmm - the questions sounds awfully similar to this one:Audiogon Forum: Coincident Eclipse vs Devore | |
| Help create my Mac Music Server iTunes does hold 24/96 AIFF files or Apple lossless files ;) A friend of mine used a Alesis to record his vinyl and to create 24/96 files which he plays back on a Mac using iTunes. If you have a Mac I don't see a reason to go for FLAC (unless you ... | |
| Are Harbeths really "all that?" The Stereo Times reviewer raves about their "pin point imaging," but when you see those drivers recessed in those wide, shallow cabinets, you can't help thinking "edge diffraction effects" all over the place.Actually the wide cabinets are preferab... | |
| SS phono stage in $2k to $3k range... My personal favorites are the Pass XOno and Vacuumstate JLTI. I compared the JLTI a while ago to the Sutherland and the Graham Slee Era Gold. I preferred the JLTI to both: the Sutherland was too polite slightly lacking the dynamics of the JLTI, th... |
