| Totem Forest, Devore super8 or Spendor A6 I had a pair of DeVore Gibbon 8 speakers in my system for about 8 months. IMHO, you will definitely need a good subwoofer because the bass is quite thin even when put close to the rear wall.. I had one of the higher end Paradigm subs which I pains... | |
| Audible Illusions M3A preamp--best matching amp I have both a Modulus 3 and a 3A in two different systems. I have used both with a Classe Ten amp, a Classe Fifteen amp, a Odyssey Stratos extreme modified, a McCormack DNA 1, and a VTL ST-80 amp. I liked the pairing with the VTL the least as I th... | |
| which output setting sounds best? I bought an Emotiva XDA-1 dac which replaces the HRT. Music from my laptop sounds much better now, not compressed or flat and I am also running my Sony SCD777ES sacd player (redbook only) through one it its coax inputs. My system is very revealing... | |
| Tube Pre to mate with Parasound JC-1s & Maggies? Audible Illusions Modulus 3A. Can be had here for 1000-1400.00. | |
| Just Bought a VPI Scout As I said on the AA board, I have a ZU/dl103 mc ctg which I have been told isn't a high compliance ctg for my Scout and it works and sounds wonderful. You will be fine with your cartridges. Just set up carefully and enjoy.Bob | |
| Mcintosh MC500 or Accuphase P800 You will most likely get more synergy by using a Mac amp with the c46 preamp.Bob | |
| Vinyl composition effect on noise floor I have a Dark Side Of The Moon from the Harvest label on white vinyl. It is the worst sounding record I own. Nuff said. | |
| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? I had a Sony hdr-f1hd tuner in addition to my Magnum Dynalab FT101a. Guess what, I kept the Magnum Dynalab and sold the Sony. How anyone can say that the Sony sounds great must have hearing deficiencies. Most of the stations I want to listen to in... | |
| Piece of Audio gear you regret selling Sold my Rectilinear 3A speakers 34 years ago, still regret it. | |
| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? I use my Magnum Dynalab FT 101A tuner more than my turntable or cd player. I am lucky to have 2 excellent in the Boston/Providence area and I listen to them all the time. I have heard a lot of great "new to me" music I wouldn't know about otherwis... | |
| What speakers to match my new cary 805 AE I would add the DeVore Gibbon Super 8, and one of the ZU models. | |
| Bryston vs. McCormack with the Modwright 9.0 Odyssey Audio Stratos amp. Can be had new anywhere from 1200.00 to 2500.00 depending on the extras you may want. I have had 7 different solid state amps in my system and this one is the "keeper". Many excellent reviews on the web. I went for the d... | |
| What amp next for Vandersteens? My office system consists of Vandersteen 2ce speakers, an Audible Illusions Modulus 3 preamp (tube) and a Classe 15 amp that puts out 175wpc. It sounds excellent. I am using MIT AVT 1 bi-wire speaker cables as well. The sound is very full and defi... | |

| HELP Rega P-7; VPI Classic 2; Scout 2 or ? I have a VPI Scout and had a Dynavector 20XL cartridge. It was a match made in heaven. I can only sumrise the Dyna on the Classic would even be better.Bob |
