| Cartridge Help with LP-12/Ekos I used a van den Hul MM-1 moving magnet w/my LP12 for several years until I could afford the MC-1 I use now. It is a fine sounding moving magnet, but only available used or NOS now I think. | |
| Cable shoot-out: Part IV Tekunda, I don't know who would be complaining to you about your postings here, or why; I am amazed and impressed at your thoroughness and willingness to try so many different brands of cables in a relatively short time period. I find cable auditi... | |
| I'm not into Home Theater but... Where did this brutality take place? It sounds like more than road rage. And what is a QX4? | |
| 6692: what is the best upgrade to aim for? They are 6922's in the PH3, and I use 3 Siemens 7308 gold pins that I bought from Upscale Audio. They sound great! There are millions of other possibilities as well, including Mullards, Telefunkens, and Amperexes. | |
| Decent Value based cable selection for HT I use DH Labs BL-1 interconnects and Analysis Plus Oval 9 speaker cables in my Acurus 125x5 and Act 3 HT, and it sounds very rich and full. I chose these cables for their inexpensive price (I bought the Analysis Plus used and the DH Labs BL-1 new)... | |
| Most Tedius Part of Audiodom Setup/Tweak/DIY ? Tom, I had an electrician install about 10 dedicated circuits for me in my listening room, but it only took him about 6 hrs. After reading your post, I fear I got ripped off! I had no idea what to check or look for in his work. I just saw that I h... | |
| Need troubleshooting help go easy on me... Newbie Everyone has given you great ideas for troubleshooting. One other thought: If you mounted the cartridge yourself, as I did last January, and hear God-awful distortion as you describe, as I also did last January, and nothing is wrong w/your phono p... | |
| HT Speakers... nice sound for good price ? B&W makes all sizes of speakers, monitors, floorstanders, and centers, to fit your budget. I use the little Leisure Monitors for rears and they are incredible! You can mount them on the wall, ceiling or stand them on shelves. | |
| Need troubleshooting help go easy on me... Newbie Where is your preamp? You can't just run the EAR phono pre straight into an amp, you need to connect it to a preamp then to the amp. | |
| Most Tedius Part of Audiodom Setup/Tweak/DIY ? I agree that disassembling/reassembling a system to move it to another room or another location in the room, or to put it all on a new rack is the WORST. Somehow I always end up w/bruised fingers from slamming my hand into the wall unplugging tigh... | |
| Celebrities A/V systems - any interest? The first thing I thought of when I saw the title of your thread was that Fabio system in Stereophile a few years ago! I enjoyed looking at the pictures, but thought the whole thing, esp. all the marble floors in his CA palace, was ridiculous. Sin... | |
| i need a beter interconnects to my systam Try the Ensemble interconnects, Dynaflux or Masterflux. They are superb sounding and reasonably priced, esp. if you find them used on this site. | |
| Integrated comparison Hi, that's my system, ARC CA-50 w/Proac 1SC's, and it makes beautiful sound. Haven't heard the Cary, but I've been curious about SET's with these speakers. But you cannot go wrong with the ARC/Proac combo, in my experience. I also use a REL Storm ... | |
| Suggestions to replace amp for Proac 1SCs I'm using an ARC CA-50 integrated tube amp w/these speakers and get fabulous sound. The CA-50 uses 4 6550's and two 6922's; 45 watts total. I have been very curious about using SET amps, either mono's or stereo, w/these speakers too. I think they ... | |
| cajun zydeco For the real thing, try the old time cajun singers The Balfa Brothers, and Dewey Balfa by himself also. I have an old sampler of this old time cajun music, purchased mid-80's, that is dynamite. Makes you dance and cry at the same time. |
