| Canare speaker cables: to change or not to change I have tried both the canare and the morrow sp3's. While not an earthshattering difference, I did notice an improved soundstage and better midrange clarity with the sp3's. I think the morrow sp3's are very nice for the money. Mike morrow also has ... | |
| Do I need a phono pre amp? Thanks for the input. I've just never had to turn the volume up that high on previous preamps. There isn't any noise at that level so I guess I'll just go with it. Thanks to all | |
| 7404 and 5691 tube available or substitute? Thanks for the help. I feel pretty dumb on this one. apparently the 7404 is the production date in this tube. It is an RCA and looks like its from the 70's. I have been told that this tube is actually an OC3 voltage regulator tube. Does that sound... | |
| US only sales WHY??? Every time I have been asked to ship an item out of the US,the buyer requested that I declare the value as ZERO dollars which negates any form of insurance. Also the "gift" declaration is another issue which can result in problems such as hangups ... | |
| Anti-Cable IC's vs. Signal Cable IC's I still use Frank's Signal analog 2 interconnects. I use the upgraded model with the eichmann bullet RCA's and I think they can't be beaten for the money. You could do better if you want to spend more money, of course. | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 Update on the above post. I managed to find the living solutions steam cleaner while on a layover in New York at Walgreens. It wasn't on the website, but the store had at least 10 of them. They were hidden on the bottom shelf in the houseware/appl... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 Hi all, I cant find either of these steamers at my local walgreens stores. If anyone finds one, please let me know. Any experience with the mccullugh(sp) or the other handheld steamer that wal mart sells.Thanks | |
| Best tubed pre-amp w/phono stage for ss amps? I use a Counterpoint SA 3000 pre amp modified by Michael Elliot at alta vista audio. It is actually a hybrid, but uses tubes in the phono stage. It is both MM and MC capable.Wonderful soundstage and very quiet | |
| Moving from PSB Stratus to Synchrony ... questions Bizango,I should have stated that in my preference to the Gold i's is that my listening area is a rather large 20x28. In that size room, I thought the golds did a better job. The Synchrony's may be better in a smaller room, but I had them in this ... | |
| Moving from PSB Stratus to Synchrony ... questions I also own a pair of Stratus Gold i's.I was looking at "upgrading" to the synchrony line.I must say was also underwhelmed. Their soundstage and bass response was not quite on par with the gold i's. I would say the midband was about equal, but I fe... | |
| Which cartridge for planar 3/rb-600 arm? Thanks allI went with the Denon DL103 and am very happy with it so far | |
| The best "imaging" speakers? Audio Physic spark ver 4 produced a great image with a deep soundstage in my humble system. The only caveat is they need to be rather far out from the rear walls | |
| Tonearm for rega Planar 3 Thanks guys. I picked up an RB-600 arm at my price point.Thanks again for the help | |
| Tonearm for rega Planar 3 Hi guys,Thanks for all of the responses. I was looking at the moth MK1 aka the rega RB 251. Acadia audio sells this arm with options for an incognito rewire and vta adjustment. I am inclined to go this route because the table I purchased was monte... | |
