| Atmasphere ma1,VTL mb250, Jolida JD 3000 Duke, I agree with Jafox. What a great response and a model for how folks in the business-of-audio can interact positively and constructively to share their knowledge. Thank you!Rlef, one thought I would add is that the Atma-Sphere MA-1 will deliv... | |
| Next on the list for Mahler.... Audphile1, for the Mahler Symphony No. 1 on vinyl, I can recommend the Horenstein/LSO performance on Unicorn RHS 301 (also reissued on Nonesuch, I believe), and the Solti/LSO performance on Decca SXL 6113 (Speakers Corner reissue) that you referen... | |
| walker proscenium Koegz, as a Walker Proscenium owner (but without the most recent tonearm upgrade), I would say "Yes" in response to your question:is it possible that his turntable can make that big of a difference as he says?The Walker turntable makes a huge diff... | |
| Dedicated Stand for a Turntable ? Opinions. A manageable diy dedicated stand project might be the rack that member Sbank built for himself. It is similar to the Walker Audio dedicated stand for the Proscenium turntable, but without the additional mass loading of the Walker rack. Here are so... | |
| Aesthetix IO Sig V 2nd power supply & Lamm LP2 del Audioquest4life, I will sometime try the vintage tube route again. I've heard good outomes from too many people to not at least give this another try. I just have not had the time to do so. In my sitution, I started with Telefunken 12AX7s in the s... | |
| Dedicated Lines & Power Conditioners Hardly providing technical input in that last post of yours, Sadownic. Oh well..., I see this is not going to become productive.Jea48, thanks for finding an example. This is consistent with why to avoid any greater number of splice or connections ... | |
| Dedicated Lines & Power Conditioners Sadownic, sorry I missed your 9/21 post. Technical input and discussion are quite welcome. Imo, a discussion from which I can learn is always useful and appropriate; it's the reason I participate in Audiogon.Regards, | |
| Mcintosh 275's or Marantz Model 9's What would you These are very different sounding amps. Both are classic designs. Both have been "reissued" in modern iterations. If these are originals, the Marantz may have the higher market value if in excellent condition and unmodified. (But if originals, bot... | |
| New house room size opinions please........ Chadnliz, I went through the house search process recently and I commiserate with you on the challenges of finding the right combination of house and listening room. FWIW, my belief has always been to try to go larger than 21 feet if possible, and... | |
| Aesthetix IO Sig V 2nd power supply & Lamm LP2 del Downunder, I listen about 20 hours a week when the system's up. Over those five years I've had some relocation transitions and the system has been down probably 18 months out of those five years. Add to that non-play time when I'm out of town and ... | |
| Aesthetix IO Sig V 2nd power supply & Lamm LP2 del I've had great support with my Aesthetix gear, as have many others who post on Audiogon. Jim White has been a superb person to work with. I've used my Io Signature for five years and the original tubes have remained dead quiet. . | |
| Dedicated Lines & Power Conditioners Sadownic, did I do something to ruffle your feathers? Your posts strike me as someone approaching this discussion as if it were a contest. If I misconstrue your intent, and you simply wish to insure that information shared here is accurate, then I... | |
| Aesthetix IO Sig V 2nd power supply & Lamm LP2 del Shane, when I purchased my Io Signature, I asked the designer, Jim White, about the second power supply and he replied with this advice about what he heard with the Signature upgrade from the standard MkII version and then with the second power su... | |
| Dedicated Lines & Power Conditioners Sorry to have injected an inaccurate/spurious term ("micro arcing") in the discussion. I couldn't think of a way to describe the phenomenon that has been explained to me. My poorly stated observation is that anywhere there is a connection, distort... | |
| I envy what you know, not what you have I will join in expressing my appreciation for this community of fellow audio nuts. To those who contribute their time, experiences and advice in the Audiogon forums, thank you. And to those willing to ask questions, seek advice and simply share ex... |
