| Aesthetix Calypso and Herron VTSP 2 Nathanu, for the Calypso, you can take a look at Jadem6's recent review on Audiogon.. | |
| Phono hook-up for Atma-Sphere MP-1? Denis, some would say that the low voltages that the phono cable (tonearm to phono stage) has to deliver requires a different type of cable, particularly as regards shielding. I've never given that much credence, but have not experienced difficult... | |
| Phono hook-up for Atma-Sphere MP-1? Denis, I'm not an expert on this and Ralph is certainly the best person to advise, but here are some thoughts. I don't see any reason why the phono output could not go into the tape monitor loop other than the possibility of the tape monitor loop ... | |
| Need to re-discover analog - please help Thanks for the follow-up report! Looks like a nice combination. Hope you enjoy your re-entry to vinyl. | |
| How do I post a picture? Tabl10s, you can't do it directly, you have to finesse the system. After submitting your post, edit it using "edit my post" and add the standard html tags pointing to an image stored elsewhere on the web. Not difficult, but you have to act while y... | |
| Running dedicated circuits; What next? Be sure to invest in some good wall outlets (e.g., Porterports or Jena Labs) as part of your dedicated circuit project; then plug directly into the wall outlets. Next, get some Walker Extreme SST contact enhancer to use on all of your connections ... | |
| Looking for an amp to drive Eidolons Vision. Hi Jafox, just a comment on the dynamic contrasts of the two Atma-Sphere amps: the MA-2 has far greater dynamic capabilities than the MA-1. There is very little comparison unless you add the power supply boost upgrade to the MA-1 (which adds a sig... | |
| Looking for an amp to drive Eidolons Vision. Elberoth, I have a pair of Eidolons that I drive with Atma-Sphere MA-2 MkIIIs amps and the combination is superb. I've heard the Eidolons in different systems over the years with a variety of amps, and this is the most satisfying combination I've ... | |
| Your "DREAM" piece Probably replace my Eidolons with Eidolon Diamonds.. | |
| VPI Scoutmaster questions......... Audiogon'r Slipknot1 made the upgrade from the Scout to Scoutmaster and has been very pleased with the improvements. I've heard his system with both and agree with his assessment.The new motor/bearing combo in the Scoutmaster is SO much quieter. T... | |
| Classical music - starting points Alpass, let me suggest you start a new thread with that question. It's a good question, but it really is off-topic for this thread. There are lots of threads in the archives to suggest very system revealing classical music, and I'll be happy to co... | |
| Classical music - starting points For Mahler's 1st Symphony, consider the Horenstein/LSO performance on Unicorn if you can find it. The Solti/LSO performance is also quite good. If you contrast either of these with the Giulini/Chicago performance, you might think you're listening ... | |
| Classical music - starting points Newbee, I've also considered suggesting some of the neo-romantics to which I would add a whole host of British composers in addition to Arnold. But this all gets so overwhelming for people new to classical music that I've avoided doing so. Perhaps... | |
| Classical music - starting points Beemerrider, I agree with you about pieces with greater melodic content as better points of entry for most of us. You've suggested good works for starting points.. | |
| Classical music - starting points Jgreenwood, good catch to point out that we've not covered many entry points using Baroque music (Bach's Mass in B can be a challengin entry point). I like your Bach and handel suggestions above. To those, I'd offer:Telemann's Tafelmusik (Music fo... |
