| Give the Oracle an 'arm... i currently use a sumiko premiere ft-3 on my oracle - it's nice, but i, too, think i could do better. so, i ordered an origin-live-modified rega rb-250 w/adjustable-vta mounting-base. according to origin-live, it's supposed to be even better than ... | |
| Any advice on CD player upgrade? hi soobie-guru, my point is that if ya inwest another $3k into yer preamp, you will get better results w/yer current cd player than investing $3k into another cd player, w/yer current preamp. yust my opinion of course. (i *am* biased towards vinyl... | |
| Any advice on CD player upgrade? save your money for a better preamp (or speakers, or *whatever*). dollar for dollar, you will get better sound substantially upgrading your preamp w/your same cd player, than the other way around. the law of diminishing returns is more applicable ... | |
| Velodyne F1500 Sub. How good is it hi curt, i wouldn't trade *two* f-1500's for my sub system, which consists of a pair of vmps larger subs, 2 bridged adcom gfa555's, & a deluxe marchand xm9 24db/octave x-over. i have yet to hear *any* sub system, w/the exception of the subs on... | |
| Velodyne F1500 Sub. How good is it buy *two* vmps subs for the price of *one* velodyne - two subs (any brand) are necessary for music, imho... | |
| PSB Gold , NHT 3.3, Paradigm 100 V2? hi tish, while i've never heard the nht's or the paradigms, i can't *imagine* choosing the psb's over the thiels. yust my opinion... doug | |
| Best MC Cartridge $300.00 or less hi felix, i've only heard what ayre had to say - as it's off-topic of this thread, i forwarded it directly to you... doug | |
| Best MC Cartridge $300.00 or less felix, is your k1 the latest *x* version? if not, are ya tinkin' about upgrading it? thanx, doug | |
| PSB Gold , NHT 3.3, Paradigm 100 V2? ewe mite wanna also try thiel 3.5's or 3.6's in this price range. they both like lotsa power, but ewe got that covered w/your amp. the 3.5's can be had for $800-$1200, and go down to a real 20hz, thanks to their equalizer. reviewers said they mite... | |
| Advice on preamp choice i recently had a similar desire - i replaced my linn kairn w/latest power supply, w/a rogue 99 w/magnum upgrade - really nice, but i sacrificed low-end detail & body. it wasn't acceptable, but to be fair there may have been an impedance mismat... | |
| Digital Amps. How good are they? hi philefreak, i tink vinyl is better w/*everything*! ;~) but, it seems to me that vinyl would be especially better w/an amp (or *any* component) that is especially analytical. not sure how a less efficient speaker would help, unless it's known th... | |
| Best MC Cartridge $300.00 or less there's been lotsa good comments on the dyna 10X4; i'm looking forward to trying out the dyna karat 17 that's on its way. any comments as to what i might expect, compared to my ortofon mc-25fl, from someone that's heard 'em? thanks, doug | |
| Full Range or Monitor? jla, w/a room that small, i think you will get satisfactory bass w/decent monitors mebbe even w/o a sub. something like proac response 1sc... still want deeper bass, try vmps' smaller subs. doug | |
| Full Range or Monitor? monitors + a pair of subs is the way to go, imho. no problem w/integration, if ya can x-over at, say 80hz, or below - no problem w/a good monitor, & if ya use a good x-over - i like my marchand deluxe xm9. bass is easier to integrate into the ... | |
| Digital Amps. How good are they? hi philefreak. got a vinyl set-up? i'd be curious how your reaction would be to it w/the bel-canto. seems a *lot* of equipment needs to be made to sound *less real*, w/digital playback... doug |
