| Music Matters 7 - Seattle I agree the Wilson room sounded very good. The new Alexandria XLF had the new soft dome tweeter and bigger bass cabinet. Paired with the Dan D'agostino amps it was the best sound I have heard in that room. I did not hear any music I was familiar w... | |
| Turntable Placement I would keep the turntable as far from the speakers as possible. Also keep it out of the corner of the room as bass energy is higher in corners. Otherwise you could have problems with acoustic feedback. Make sure you keep the interconnects under 2... | |
| 24 feet DIN to XLR phono cable for Graham Phantom? I think Jensen Transformer make such a device. Have never tried one though. In this case you could put you TT and phono stage were you want and run XLRs to the transformer by the integrated amp. I think it would be worth a try. You may want to ask... | |
| Decent Bass & Mids, compressed highs on Analog Have you tried different load settings on your Phono section? Try setting the load to the highest setting-47kohms. If that is to bright come down some till it sounds right. | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please Cool. Did you take any pics?Sean | |
| Vienna Die Muzick flagship speakers Hi Guido, Those amps would be interesting for sure. What amp are you using now? Are you still using the Criterion pre? | |
| Vienna Die Muzick flagship speakers Thats right. Thanks for the correction on the model number of the Rowland. You and Dave were there also. It was nice to meet you guys. I believe the Boulder amp was the 2060 stereo amp. We also got a chance to hear the Jeff Rowland Continuum 500 i... | |
| Vienna Die Muzick flagship speakers I heard them at Soundings during RMAF 2009. I was very impressed. They were really nice paired with a Roland 301 amp. With a Boulder 2000 series amp it was not happening though. Hard to describe but maybe a bit too laid back for my taste.Looking f... | |
| AMR PH-77, ARC Reference 2, Allnic H-3000, Octave I really like my Allnic H3000. I have no experience with the others you listed. I think alot will depend on how it matches up with the rest of your gear and taste. I had the Pass XP-25 in my system for a month before I bought the Allnic. While the... | |
| What makes a tuntable sounds warmer? Well the stillpoints should help. I am not familiar with your mat but in general softer mats will obscure detail and hard mats will sharpen detail. The Boston Audio mat is a hard mat that will definately sharpen detail. It is kind of spendy though... | |
| How to check for stylus wear? Wow you must listen to alot of music. How long has the Zephyr been out?You need a microscope with around 500x magnification and know what to look for. Are you experiencing sound degradation?I think a SS retip is from $150 to $350 depending on whic... | |
| Next upgrade A quality seperate phono stage would be a good improvement. I used to have a Musical Fidelity A308 integrated amp and remember the built in phono stage was not that good. | |
| What makes a tuntable sounds warmer? Scotch. But seriously maybe play with different footers. If you specify what TT you have maybe you can get specific recommendations. | |
| Stupid speaker test question...please help a n00b Because most speakers have high distortion compared to electronic equipment. Over 1% thd is normal for most speakers. It would be nice if manufactures would publish that spec. The only place I have seen it measured was on some reviews by Secrets O... | |
| Benefits of brand synergy Many good answers above. On the basis of sound quality alone it depends on if you like the sound. Of all the one brand systems I have heard there were not many that were outstanding. It is very difficult for any one manufacturer to design one very... |
