| Headshell Washers : Nylon or Stainless Steel? Have been listening to a modified EMT cartridge by Brinkmann with regular screws (SS) and then was sent the matching aluminum screws with titanium washers......wow! I'm shocked at the top end improvement heard, more open and transparent and everyt... | |
| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE Dover a very good customer of mine uses the Canterbury SE speakers and we have tried the Kondo SPz and he also found it not full bodied and lacked bass control over many other cables he settled on some Purist Audio cables, a much better match.(dea... | |
| Stand out phono stages See review(s) from Audiogon below site:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/frr.pl?rprea&1330286889&&&/New-Valve-Order-SPA-II-Tube-preamp | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Was invited to have a listen to 2 audio systems and did bring the Timeline with me just to see how other tables faired. The first was a modified Technics SP10 MKII (I believe) with the plinth from Albert Porter and the Timeline did not waiver one ... | |
| Review: New Valve Order SPA II Tube preamp Lula ~ That can be done with either RCA or XLR terminations that you use in the back with different resistors. NVO sends with each unit a 100 ohm XLR input. The input impedance of the MC stage is set at 1000 ohms when shipped.Please feel free to e... | |
| Review: New Valve Order SPA II Tube preamp Thanks gentleman. Yes this 22 tubes unit from Cyprus has redefined my thoughts on phono pre-amps. It actaully has blown away my Kondo M-7 stand alone phono unit that retails for almost $30,000! It has now been sold and will never look back.Enjoy a... | |
| Thin Walled Speakers -Tonian, Musical Affairs, etc As Nonoise stated, both types of designs can work or not work. I've had some pretty well damped and inert speakers I hated. Escalante Freemonts come to mind, they were 650 pounds of speaker that had no life or energy (not saying it was b/c of weig... | |

| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE Wilfredt ~ there's also more than just watts that goes into the equation. Consider the gain in the pre-amp as a big part of that equation. Using a passive pre may require more watts and using a pre with 20 + of gain (although never heard a pre wit... | |
| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE My best friend Kwame has Canterbury SE and has used amps in the 25-35 watts with excellent results. Currently using a Thor 30 watt mono-block that has sounded exceptional. Wonderful speaker. | |
| What do I need to consider when buying amp and sub Jeffatus - if your dealer sells the JL's then they will have all the answers. I myself went from RELs to a JL and it was the best move I've made regarding a sub. The JLs are best used via the XLR connection over the RCA connection and the better t... | |
| Are the JL Fathom subs really that good.... I bought one f113 and it took me close to 10 weeks to fine-tune the position, cross0ver points and phase (plus break-in) and all I can say is these are the fastest and best subs I've yet owned. Prior to this I had 2 REL Stentors and had issues wit... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Got a Brinkmann Bardo in to test drive and upon first listen the pitch of the piano was off, attacks were not sharp, so checking the speed with the Timeline showed it running a tad slow. It's easy to adjust and within 3 minutes had it spot on. Thi... | |
| Counterpoint SA20 It has been the only tube amp that Ive owned (SA220) that blew up in front of me, that light show was an expeience that one would never forget and hope never to see again! | |
| Living Voice for Shindo? I owned Liveing Voice OBX (not R) and the ART Emotion Signature with upgraded Kondo binding posts and wiring, it was one of the worst things I did when I sold the ART speakers! The LV never did anything for me and even though they were very effici... |
