| ZYX Airy 3x/SB vs. Dynavector XV-1 or 1s Ca2284,---been to that place.Not much stuff of interest,anymore.Same goes for Princeton Record exchange,which is sad,as I loved to take my wife & daughter there for Saturday brunch(in wonderful Princeton township),and then bribe the two of the... | |
| ZYX Airy 3x/SB vs. Dynavector XV-1 or 1s Nrchy,though I understand your response,please make note----It did not satisfy my appetite for a "good,overlong,boring to many,provoking,and agitating" read!!I guess I'll have to go back and revisit some of my own posts!!Best of luck.BTW--The umbi... | |
| ZYX Airy 3x/SB vs. Dynavector XV-1 or 1s To add to Thom's fine point,while on the Phonostage subject,if we are speaking of tubed stages,there is alot to be gained in trying some really good NOS tube types.This,too,can affect bright/dark voicing which is SO easy to blame on other componen... | |
| ZYX Airy 3x/SB vs. Dynavector XV-1 or 1s Nrchy,I'va asked before,but no response,so I'll ask again.How did everything go,with your Cosmos,and analog rig?Also,did you go for the additional umbilical? Be REAL WORDY,as I'm currently bored,and need some audio stimulation!!See some of my prev... | |
| ZYX Airy 3x/SB vs. Dynavector XV-1 or 1s Ca2284,Firstly--A xv-1s is quite a heavy cartridge,and would probably be a better match for an arm like the Phantom,Schroeder,Dynavector's own(excellent)507 mk 2,and some other contenders.The 2.2 may work with it,but it is really not ideal with ca... | |
| I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris. Rcprince,I'm not a society/club kind of guy,but thanks for the kind comments. Funny that you mention Hobson,and his old loft.That is where I first heard my Ascents,and it is Hobson who sold them to me.Along with the Rowlands.Truthfully,I thought t... | |
| I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris. George,I'm really happily surprised as to your pleasant response to me.I've kind of felt that you were a very knowledgeable,but somewhat edgy(in a good way)audio buff.I do agree with much of your overall feelings pertaining to things audio,but not... | |
| I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris. Reprince,I hope you are kidding!It's easy to come off,on the web,as a person of real tried and true experience.In actuality I'm just a typical hobbyist,but with some very good,and experienced audio pals.My own takes/experience IS to be taken with ... | |
| Tonearm for Transfiguration temper The above comments are right on the money!I have had the older Temper(superb),and now have the "V" in a Graham 2.2!Very satisfying sound,and very detailed.My old Temper lasted,believe it or not,8 years.Like an old Honda,you almost cannot kill it!O... | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 15/2 Phono Amp My friend has this,along with an ART-2.STUNNING!It should "voice" really well,with your "Diamonds"! Take your wife on a nice vacation,with any monies considered,if you were to replace it!! | |
| DarTZeel Preamp Mike,great stuff,as the Dart combo looks like a very "long term" stable,low maintenance winner! How about the ZYX UNIV vs XV-1s comparison?Very much interested in your take!Thanks,and best regards. | |
| I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris. Hugos,I'm happy for you.Don't get on the non stop buying and selling syndrome.You can never get great sound until you buy good stuff,and live with it awhile.As time goes on,you will find correct cable matching,etc!Best wishes. Robetje--I have the ... | |
| I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris. Hugos,thanks for the continued correspondence.You are clearly on your way to audio nirvana.If not already there.I'm really happy for you!! The system and acoustical issues will ultimately work themselves out.So long as you do a little research int... | |
| I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris. Hugos,the high ceiling is a big benefit.When I bought my Avalon Ascent MK-2's I had a dedicated room built,literally to match the speaker energy projection.Only 8 ft ceiling,though.Due to construction costs.I had been advised by Avalon,on the dime... | |
| Venture Audio To anyone interested,there was a review of the Grand Excellence some time ago,in Fi magazine.I believe it can be accessed on the Venture site. This review was very favorable,actually a rave,and was done by Michael Gindi.As this review caught my ey... |
