| Other comments on the Black Diamond Tone Arm? Logenn-Thank you for the insight. Your experience mirrors my own in listening to the Black Diamond in Lloyd's personal system. The upgrade to the Black Diamond arm is on the horizon for my Proscenium TT as well. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Actually - having gone down that road, only to have the RAL umbilical NOT work, I think you are both right. I don't roll the tubes in my Supratek - trusting Mick's choices as the right ones. I should have done the same with the umbilical.That said... | |
| What equipment do you most regret parting with?? An original Keith Monks Audio Labs record cleaning machine.Was moving a lot at the time and was sick of carting it about. Regretted selling it the moment it went to the shipper on it's way to it's new home in Germany.Also a pair of Magnepan SMGa. ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I did recieve my cable from Brad. I ordered it on January 30th, and recieved last week. Fit, finish, and build quality are very good. I cannot comment yet on whether or not it makes a difference as the pin configuration and size of the connectors ... | |
| music these days.... I was pleased to see someone mention that particular group of authors. When you mentioned Brautigan, I was trying to think which work. I know Sedaris' new one, Pynchon's new one, but Brautigan has not had anything published recently, has he?sorry ... | |
| Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1? My experience with breakin was just what you are seeing at the moment. it will likely go through several stages before it settles in. A little weak in the bass at first, at some points dark and closed in, then sounding a little tipped up in the HF... | |
| Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1? Yeah - that WOULD be a typo :o I'll go away now....... | |
| music these days.... Pawlowski-David Sedaris is a regular "guest" on NPR. Along with being a writer, I guess I would call him a raconteur, or an observer of the human condition, he uses his own life experiences as examples. Amy Sedaris, his sister, recently had a TV s... | |
| Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1? Actually- My post above says 0.38mV, but Rushton's figure may be a little closer to reality. | |
| music these days.... Dave Eggers' latest : "What is the what"David Sedaris is the brother of actress Amy Sedaris who has also just published a hilarious satire on entertaining...Synthfreek-Excellent group of authors you have listed there... are you a librarian by chance? | |
| Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1? Thanks sirspeedy! The Magic Diamond was not on my radar until I heard it mated with the Walker Proscenium Gold Signature turntable. It's no understatement when I say it was an ear opening experience. It was at that moment I decided that I had to h... | |
| Life after Maggies? When I commented that I "moved on" I did not mean up or better. I loved the sound I was getting with my 3.6R driven by Wolcott P220 tube amps and well placed in a Rives Audio designed room. There is nothing like the Magnepan sound. It took a pair ... | |
| Life after Maggies? Before switching to another speaker, get the 1.6 set up and dialed in as best as you can in your new room BEFORE moving to another speaker.I have been a Magnepan user my entire audiophile life, starting with the SMGa, MGI, MGIII, MMG, 3.6R. I stil... | |
| Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1? That in and of itself, does not mean that the MD is a modified Denon. Many carts use the same type of stylus configuration and canteliever materials. When you refer to the Magic Diamond's "conical" stylus, I am assuming you mean "spherical"- as th... | |
| music these days.... Having managed to reach the half-century mark, I have lived through a few of the changes in popular music. This argument has been around as long as I can remember. Each generation has their "benchmark" for what qualifies (for them) as good music.I... |
