| B&W N802 compared to 801 Matrix S3 Although my comments are based on demos in stores, I think it's a matter of quality vs quantity. The 801S3 definitely produces more, and weightier bass. IMHO, it isn't very realistic when compared to the bass of the N802. It might be a tad leaner,... | |
| turntable upgrade VPI or CLEARAUDIO? Another thing to try first is isolating the table with something like a Neuance or Sistrum platform under. Many here have been amazed by the improvement in bass clarity and speed from these devices. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Bach - Casals Conducts Brandenburg Concertos - Marlboro Festival Orch. Columbia 2 eye Not the greatest recording, but music good enough to hold my attention through all 6 sides.Peterson/Brown/Thigpen - Sound of the Trio - Verve A really underrated... | |
| Do I have enough power for a good quality sound? That's fine, and doesn't need to cost much. Get an inexpensive uni-player, or at least an SACD player, and stick with the Rotel amp. If 90% of your listening ends up staying 2 channel, then keep investing your money in the parts of your system tha... | |
| Signal Cable Silver Resolution Slipknot1, meet Toudou. AKA Joe meet David. You guys know eachother, & you didn't even know it.Cheers, Sbank aka Spencer | |
| Do I have enough power for a good quality sound? Krksures4,I think the answer to your orignal question ties to whether you are talking about listening to 2 channel or 5.1 music. If most of your serious music lstening is to vinyl or 2 channel digital, then obviously, your are fine with the MAC &a... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Recent excursions into the good(live music) & the bad(CDs) have taken my attention away from this, my favorite thread.Small venue shows by both Shivaree and Rickie Lee Jones remind why we're in this hobby in the first place. Amazing artistry o... | |
| Turntable suggestions for under 1000 New or Used The Nottingham Horizon should be on your short list. Easy to setup and maintain, great sounding for its price. If you find one used, even better. Good match with either a Shelter 301 or a Dynavector 10x4 or 10x5 cart. I believe Mikey Fremer gave i... | |
| Do all sunfire subs hum and pop? My Sunfire sub s dead quiet, always has been. It sounds like an electrical problem within your home. Cheers,Spencer | |

| Are Maggies Cat Proof? A friend of mine with 3.5's has made covers for them, that he leaves on when not in use. The covers slide on top like garbage bags, and he used some kind of fabric that the cats don't like. They don't climb on them any more.Without something, I'd ... | |
| Preamp Recommendations Lamm, Ayre K-1x, BAT 31SE Artg,I'd be cautious before adding a Lamm w/o hearing it in your system. Recently, a friend was auditioning many preamps, and in his Classe Omega/Eggleston Andra/Wadia rig, the Lamm was a poor sounding match to all who heard it. From all the great... | |
| Two Tonearm Turntable: Need Suggestions Nottingham tables are often setup with two arms. The second arm pod is an option for about an extra $500, and I believe this is available on most of their models. See it many times on the Spacedeck. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Good insturmental sax jazz recommindations Viridian,Yes, Roland Kirk is amazing, on just about every type of horn. IMHO,The Inflated Tear is the album that most needs a good remaster on 200g vinyl or even better 45rpm. Sublime music, and noisy pressings. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Good insturmental sax jazz recommindations John Coltrane, Ben Webster, Sonny Rollins, Cannonball Adderley, most recordings by Charles Mingus(although he's not a sax player), Roland Kirk. Check out the "Fantasy 45rpm" offerings on acousticsounds.com or advertised regularly in Stereophile. T... |
