| Verdier Graham and Shelter??? Hi Tenmus,One of the advantages of the Verdier, I have found, is that it works well with just about every tonearm with which you might want to pair it. For example, I have had success with the VPI JMW-12, SPJ La Luce, and Graham 1.5t. [FYI - I am ... | |
| turntable mat : boston mat, audioquest sorbogel ma I have experience using both mats listed in your inquiry on three turntables: Oracle Delphi Mk II, Goldmund Studio, and Verdier La Platine. I found the Boston Audio mat to be superior in practically all respects. (As a caveat, I am not a particula... | |
| Genesis 201 vs Wilson Maxx Series 2 ?? In the interests of full disclosure, I have previously owned Watt Puppy 3/2's, Genesis V's, and Genesis 300's. With that said, I have auditioned both the Genesis 200 (not the 201) and the Wilson Maxx Series 1 (not 2). I concur with some of the pos... | |
| EMM Lab DCC2 & CDSD Better connection? I just received a response from Aural Symphonics, who indicated that the Optimism for EMM Labs gear will be released in December (in time for January CES). | |
| CAT Preamps vs Amps I am one of those CAT amp owners (JL-1s) that tried using a CAT preamp, but went in a different direction. In my experience, I found that the CAT preamps prior to the Ultimate (which I have not heard in my system), were not the equal of the amps. ... | |
| Goldmund Studio-still one of the best? Hi Ziva,I actually own a Studio, and use it as a backup turntable (my main table is a Verdier). First, for a used Studio, 3500 Euros is overpriced - many other used turntables would be preferable, including VPI Aries, Townsend Rock Reference - hec... | |
| Good but not so well known harmonica blues bands. William Clarke, who passed away in 1996, was a fierce harmonica player who won several W.C. Handy Awards. I highly recommend his albums "Serious Intentions", and "Blowin' Like Hell" | |
| Lovan: Stereophile recommended disappointment. Wow - a lot of vitriol with respect to Lovan racks. I admit, they are not the greatest, but at least the Sovereign model can be improved if you take certain steps. First, replace the shelves with something custom made - the MDF shelves are garbage... | |
| Altis Centauri Transport? I owned the Altis Centauri transport for about two years, pairing it with several DACs. It was an excellent transport, which I regret selling. Not as musical as a TL-1x, for example, but better resolution and tighter bass.If you cannot swing a Pit... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Single Malt - The Balvernie 1966 Vintage CaskBeer - Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock, or if I'm slumming, Old Rasputin Imperial StoutWine - Mouton Rothschild 1982 | |
| What did he say? Misunderstood lyrics. Dweller, I double checked it yesterday, and you can tell your friend he's definitely wrong. It kind of threw me that his proposed lyric had "she" in it, because "she" doesn't appear in the last minute or so of the song. The "she" is, in fact, "see... | |
| Lost in the Powercord Jungle Bigkidz makes a good suggestion - go for a dedicated line (or two) first. After that, absolutely demo any power cables in your system before you buy. Some good choices are listed above - I would point out that Electraglide and Shunyata have also g... | |
| What did he say? Misunderstood lyrics. Dweller - where in Gallows Pole are you referring to? I'm guessing the last verse, the closest line of which is "She warmed my blood from cold". Unfortunately, I don't think there is a definitive version of the lyrics (Plant sang it differently on... | |
| What did he say? Misunderstood lyrics. Hey Eddaytona,Here are the real lyrics of Louie Louie, as written and copyrighted by Richard Berry (Limax Music), and performed by the Kingsmen (note: this is NOT the Iggy Pop version):Louie Louie, me gotta go. Louie Louie, me gotta go. A fine lit... |
