| How loud do you like to play your music? Calbrs03, I recently got an I-phone myself and I think the app Albert's speaking of is called Decibel. I intend to add this to my phone as soon as I figure out how. My Radio Shack meter stopped working. I usually try to keep it at 85 or lower of I... | |
| Well recorded records ... what are your picks? Heart:Dreamboat Annie on the Mushroom label. Find a clean copy with Kendun in the deadwax. Whether you're a Heart fan or not, you likely will play this all the way through. Little Queen on the Portait label rivals this but may not quite be there. | |
| Allnic H-3000 owners impressions Ecka I'm a late responder to your thread but I would encourage you to look into this if still interested. I've been living with the H3000/L4000 for a couple months and they are Amazing. I've recently auditioned Doshi, Tron, and Atmas-Sphere and th... | |
| Marshall Tucker Band-Anyone else get them? Agree with both Marshall Tucker Band and Ozark Mountain Daredevils but I give the nod to Ozark Mountain Daredevils becuase I've found the sound quality of their releases on vinyl to be among the best in rock style music. Their debut and It'll Shin... | |
| Teres Versus with Galibier/Redpoint? Braab, Go to soundfountain.com and look up the technics SP 10 series. The custom plinth are disscussed with detailed pictures of the Albert Porter designed African Wenge plinth, the very same one I'm now using in my system. It takes motor noise ou... | |
| Teres Versus with Galibier/Redpoint? Braab, I heard the Teres at Doug and Paul's, the Raven AC at Highwater, and Galibier(Gavia with Stelvio platter) at Thom's. I honestly enjoyed all of them and a choice between the TW and Galibier tables would still be a tough one. My mind was made... | |
| Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's? I would second (or third?) the 5As. Try them set up well in your room and I'm guessing you'll stop second guessing your system and just enjoy it. Then again, nothing would surprise me I guess. | |
| multiple TT, need 1 adjustable phono preamp I have the H3000/L4000 and run a VPI SSM/rim drive with Benz LP and an SP10mk2 with SME 312s magnesium/Air Tight PC-1 Supreme. Highly recommended for sound quality and features. Switching between tables is easy. | |
| New favorite VINYL Album? Macdad, Machine Head on German vinyl is the best I've found. | |
| Seeking turntable upgrade advice Ian,Might I suggest a trip to NYC to audition the TW tables? I'm doing that in just a couple weeks. Jeff is very helpful with your needs. Don't write off a trip to Boulder to listen to the Galibiers( and Teres if you wish). I'm doing that as well.... | |
| Seeking turntable upgrade advice SME is a fine product I'm sure but, if you're considering them, the TW and Galibiers are not out of your budget at all. SMEs are expensive! Also, due to the lack of dealer network/advertising I feel you get much more value for the money you do spe... | |
| Seeking turntable upgrade advice Madfloyd,I have corresponded with you on your table many times. I have the SSM Ref and I still think VPIs offer a lot for the money but I too am on the upgrade path and have narrowed my choices to the Galibier Stelvio and the TW Acustic Raven AC-3... | |
| anybody have a doshi pre to audition? Mike,So it must have been you that bought the linestage that was listed here on Audiogon. I'm glad you find it so satisfying. Ask others but I would recommend staying with Doshi for a phono based on what I've heard. Nick's power supplies are said ... | |
| anybody have a doshi pre to audition? When did Madfloyd get a Doshi Alaap? I see a thread he posted on 4/14/09 in which he was considering one but I thought they took several months to build. Did he find a used one or buy Larry's demo from Paragon? | |
| Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt Emailist, Just curious why you're messing around with mylar. Are you considering giving it a try on the Raven One? If so, be sure to post your findings. I'm curious about how the TWs proprietary belt material compares with a well implented tape dr... |
