| Is the Townshend Rock 7 "the" giant killer? If you have never heard it, it is pretty irresponsible to post "Its not as good as the WTL Amedeus or Versalex." That sure suggests that you have actually heard the tables in question. Shame on you. | |
| Best Counterweight Position? There are also headshell screws from SoundSmith of varying weights that can be very helpful as well. | |
| Is the Townshend Rock 7 "the" giant killer? ...and bring your killer amp. | |
| Is the Townshend Rock 7 "the" giant killer? Come to Chicago and you can hear mine. | |
| Ideas on table/arm combo for Miyajima mono cart I am a big fan of Moerch tonearms, which have removable armwands that can be of different effective mass. Mehran at Sorasound imports Moerch and carries Miyajima carts, so he could be of assistance in matching arm and cart. | |
| Benchmark or Antelope? Sadly, can't help with a direct comparison, but loved the Silver Antelope when I heard it. I'd look into auditioning both, since you have narrowed it down this far. If no one locally has both, I imagine you could find online sellers with return po... | |
| Is the Townshend Rock 7 "the" giant killer? It was a standard Amadeus that I compared to the Rock 7 with the Rega 301. And I would be very interested to hear how you think the standard and GTA Amadeus compare to each other sonically. | |
| what differentiates tube integrated amps? Pay attention to power supplies for sure. And the quality of transformers. | |
| Is the Townshend Rock 7 "the" giant killer? I am also interestested in the reasons for Notec's opinion. Were these compared side-by-side? I compared the WTA and Rock 7 side-by-side and both were excellent. With a Rega 301 the Rock did some things better than the WTA (bass for example), whil... | |
| DV 20X-L: Sutherland, Dynavector P75 or Heed.... I also quite enjoyed the P75 in PE mode with a low output MC. The other phono stage you might want to look at is the Avid phono pre in that price range. I have the Avid Pulsus which replaced my SimAudio 5.3LP with external power supply, which repl... | |
| Is the Townshend Rock 7 "the" giant killer? I love my Rock, but haven't compared it to higher dollar tables. I did A/B it with the other giant killer table that is getting much love: the Well Tempered Amadeus. You can see a thread with my impressions here: http://www.audiocircle.com/index.p... | |
| Rebuilt Ortofon A90? If the cart is working properly and the issue is only the diamond, my question would be whether or not a SoundSmith retip might not be a more cost-effective option? | |
| Arm and cartridge for Brinkmann Balance I would add the Moerch DP-8 to your list. Spectacular bass, and detail retrieval. An added advantage of the Moerch line is the exchangeable armwands, which can be ordered for different effective masses. This makes it easy to run many many types of... | |
| Floorstanders 3K And Duke didn't mention them, but his Audiokinesis speakers would be another good choice. | |
