WILL THE NEW 60,000 AVALON ISIS BE THE BEST YET?
Strapper,based upon your comments,I'm suspicious of that low a price.If I were in the market,at present,I'd move very cautiously!Thanks!! Vincent--Thanks,and I hope you have continued good listening!! Siddh--VERY,VERY interesting post,for me!The A... 
WILL THE NEW 60,000 AVALON ISIS BE THE BEST YET?
Vincent,et al--I'm happy I didn't bore any of you with the long post,as this is Strappers time to really shine!!He started the thread,and he spent the bucks,for the ISIS. BTW,Strapper,I just got an E-mail offering me Brand New Isis,boxed and from ... 
WILL THE NEW 60,000 AVALON ISIS BE THE BEST YET?
Strapper,you are a lucky guy!Nothing like a large room,and a speaker to do it justice. Best! 
WILL THE NEW 60,000 AVALON ISIS BE THE BEST YET?
David,don't feel so bad(I'm sure you don't-:).Up until three years ago,I was about to do a MAJOR revamping of my system,due to not getting what I had hoped my room/system was capable of.I really did not want to go through anymore component changes... 
DaVinci Tonearm
Thomas,unless you will run two arms,why would you get rid of the Phantom,for a DaVinci?I have seen that(DaVinci) arm,and heard it in two systems.I simply would be deluding myself,if I implied that I could hear,and identify the impact of an arm,in ... 
Next Turntable
I have to tell you that the LATEST SOTA COSMOS is an "out of the park homer",in almost any area of real concern.There are now even a couple of recent mods,beyond the series III,that take this table about as close to the state of the art,as anyone ... 
WILL THE NEW 60,000 AVALON ISIS BE THE BEST YET?
Funny thing,Strapper.I have always felt there was not enough offered from Avalon,to make me want to upgrade from my Avalon Ascents/Rel Stentor.Loved the Eidolons,but STILL not enough. Well,now I have to take these ISIS very seriously,as they seem ... 
Bad experience with ZYX AIRY 3
Thom,thanks for such an informative post!Unfortunately I was not able to digest it with the usual level of "low stress factor",that I usually enjoy,when a thread goes to this length!The reason for this was,my daughter kept whinning for me to get o... 
Upgrade Oracle Delphi to Simon Yorke
DcAudio,unless you are lucky enough to find someone who has actually made this comparison,you will most likely not have an accurate answer.Speculation is about as good as it will get. That being said,what you currently have,is a superb front end,a... 
Ideal TT & Arm for the following top cartridges...
Ctm_cra,You clearly know alot more than you let on!! You might want to consider buying a used Audio Research Phono stage,for a fairly low cost,and having a reputable "modifier" like Great Norther Sound,give it a significant facelift.They mod many ... 
Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables?
Albert,you have clearly indicated what a "Mensch" you are.Alluding to this last post,and the "Classy" way you handled my friend!! Now are you in a possition to "Loan out" any Mercury, White Label Promos? Best! 
Best Integrated for JM Labs Micro Utopia BE
The MICROS are definitely a world class speaker.Regardless of cost.I have an acquaintance who drives them with a Manley Neo Classic 250.I have heard them driven beautifully with the BAT integrated amp(I think around 60 wpc). These are truly stunni... 
Ideal TT & Arm for the following top cartridges...
Raul,I think you may have missed my point.Nobody,at this hobby, for any real length of time,will dispute the significance of the phonostage.That being said,the beginning of this particular thread clearly asks about arm/table/cartridge matching.Tha... 
Ideal TT & Arm for the following top cartridges...
Raul,of course you are correct regarding the phonostage.The potential problem that exists,is that there are really very few real audio dealers anymore.Many folks get their info on the internet,and that is where many buy from as well.I really don't... 
How to set SRA after determining true vertical?
Nsgarsh,as usual,is correct regarding aural adjustments,and listening for bass.However I have found that though "the bass thing" is high on everyone's list,what really locks in the "now we're in the ballpark" area is extreme high frequency reprodu...
