| Used turntable market In 2009, I bought a used VPI Scout turntable. Since the seller was only 200 miles away on Staten Island, I opted to drive down there on a Saturday to pick it up. I brought my wife along and we had a nice ride and I took her to lunch at a Texas Roa... | |
| ARC ref 3,5 OR Lamm LL2.1 for my ml2.1 Go with the Lamm. They were designed to work with one another. | |
| Cost no object tonearm for DL-103 I have a ZU Audio modified DL103 cartridge mounted on my JMW9 arm and it sounds fantastic | |
| Pulling the trigger on pricey equipment The biggest ticket item I have bought here was 3700.00 for a pair of speakers. The seller had a solid rating and we spoke by phone before concluding the transaction. I paid via PayPal on a Sunday evening and the seller shipped the speakers out the... | |
| Need Speakers to be Close to Wall $10k budget Look at the VS VR33 or VR35. | |
| Upgrading Odyssey audio Khartago I have a Stratos extreme+++ driving a pair of Kismet Reference speakers. The Kismets are very much like the Lorelei speakers, but with a much improved and more expensive crossover. The sound is to die for. I have zero desire to change. It blows aw... | |
| Sweet spot in the Shunyata power cords line up ? I don't know what "Gbmcleod" is thinking, but I hear great differences with the lower priced Shunyata cords. I use 3 Copperhead cords (400.00 each) and 5 Diamondback platinum (300.00) cords in my system in conjunction with a Shunyata Hydra 2 and a... | |
| Transport to Audio Research Dac8 How will a transport help play music on your computer? That is what the dac8 is for. If ARC makes a transport, that is what I would be looking at. If they don't, I would go with an Esoteric. | |
| Audio Research CD7 sliding cover - How it works? Do you mean to tell me that on such an expensive cd player, you have to manually slide the cover closed? My very old Sony SCD 777ES sacd player does it automatically. Then again, they use their own transport, not some cheap Phillips pro plastic tr... | |
| Why is it that? When did AI come out with the 4A? I see no mention of it on their site. | |
| Why is it that? ". Phono stages have come a long way over the 23 years since you bought you AI."The Modulus 3B is a current model and has only been in production for 4 years. | |
| Why is it that? The Modulus 3B has an excellent phono stage. That is one of the reasons I have stuck with Audible Illusions over the past 23 years. | |
| Tube in Preamp or Power amp? I have always used a good tube preamp coupled to a solid state amp. IMHO, you get the best of both worlds. | |
| It was 20 years ago today. . What was your system? Back in 1978 my system was comprised of a GAS Son of Ampzilla amp, GAS Thedra Preamp, Celestin Ditton 66 Speakers, JVC Direct Drive Turntable with a GAS Sleeping Beauty Moving Coil Cartridge, and a Teac A-450 Cassette Deck. My speaker wires were M... | |
| Prima Luna or sonic frontiers or audible illusions I would take the Modulus 3A first. I own a 3A and the 3B preamp so I am biased. Second choice would be the Prima Luna. I have heard a lot of their equipment and like what I hear. Last would be the Sonic Frontier as the line is no longer made. Even... |
