| Talk but not walk? @kosst_amojan Your last post says more about you than the person you are aiming your flamethrower at, in this case MG. His questions get right to the heart of the matter at hand, and you failed to answer. To generalize about the sound of all plana... | |
| Talk but not walk? @hombre Yes, same Roger Sanders. Sound Labs, which are full ESLs (most models)' are also led by a Roger, Dr. Roger West. He's brilliant imho. Read his suggestions about how set up & room treatment should be approached when using his (and perha... | |
| Did I just make my audio system too sensitive after adding a Herron VTPH-2A preamp? I couple of years ago, I was in a similar place shopping for a cartridge for my Technics SP10mkII around ~$1k max (considering used or new). A friend with a highly modded 1200(TransFi Terminator arm, Mike New copper platter, Hynes power supply, et... | |
| Talk but not walk? @hombre If you are interested in considering planars, I'd encourage you to expand your shopping list a bit and add Sound Lab, Sanders and Analysis Audio for audition. I am biased as a Sound Lab owner, but after having owned Quads and spent much ti... | |
| A New? Way to Buy Loudspeakers?? It's a scam, a sham, a true national emergency. You can't judge anything about how they will sound on axis, off axis, about imaging, soundstage and given how crappy your headphones might be, dynamics. Perhaps you can get a hint about tonal balance... | |
| Question about the Lumin app That's a good question, but I haven't seen a way to do that. One alternative if you can't is to save a higher number of smaller playlists and just clear your queue and pull up the smaller playlist containing the track(s) you are hunting for. I oft... | |
| How do you pack a high end CD Player for shipping? Anybody know if there's a transport locking screw on this model? If so, it's critical to tighten it down before packing? Cheers,Spencer | |
| Turntables @luvrockin What's 34% RH and how do you clean your records?I bet this is a big reason for your clicks and pops. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Mint LP provides Stevenson Alignment @chakster Sounds like "believe" is the key word in your last post. Have you ever tried the SMARTractor or the Mint? If so, and you don't observe a difference, I can respect that. Please elaborate. If not, it's sounds like your belief might just ju... | |
| Recommendations on stuff to look at for upgrading a 300B SET amp Most of the 300B amps I've heard are low power vs. push pull, but still intended to mate with dynamic speakers, not horns. VAC Renaissance 30/30 is a particularly nice one. I've owned 845 amps from Dehavilland and listened to plenty of 211s, GM70s... | |
| Mint LP provides Stevenson Alignment @billstevenson Stay away from statisticians, sounds like they would drive you crazy, Bill! :-) FWIW, Yip is happy to make any protector to whichever alignment you prefer. He's done SME/Baerwald for me and is making an Audiomods/Baerwald for me as ... | |
| A decent preamp to complete my setup? If you are planning on plugging your turntable directly into your preamp, then you need one with a built-in phono stage. Most newer models don't have that hence the product category "phono stages". Back before CD all the preamps had phono stages b... | |
| Confused State of affairs: CD player "Should I be looking to upgrade my Music CD player from the Oppo?" No. If your primary consideration is "I want to have the best sounding music from my system, so quality comes before any other consideration"then consider consider replacing the CD... | |
| New Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo - Thoughts @fsmithjack So what did you decide, Frank? In case you are still considering the Platine/Schick/Winfield I checked the specs and the compliance(16) is a good match with the effective mass of the arm. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Phono Protractor. Recommendations? Exactly what Lew said: "The absolute cost no object best is the SMARTractor. The next best and much easier to use and cheaper is the Feickert. For one tonearm only, the Mint." The SMARTractor is more precise than the Feickert and easier to get exa... |
