| Revel or Vandersteins 3A's /Which is better? Good points made here by all. And yes, I can hear the difference. I traded Thiel 7s once for a pair of Dynaudio Contour 3.0s, thinking I needed to downsize, and within 6 months regretted I gave up the Thiels, so I replaced the Dyns with Thiel CS6s... | |
| LAST Record Preservative. Do you believe? tried that stuff, it didn't work for me, use rr products instead and am happy | |
| Cleaning old record collection.. advise please vpi machine and record research cleaning fluids | |
| Revel or Vandersteins 3A's /Which is better? well, it's simple. If you purposely have some of the drivers, even one, out of electrical phase with the other drivers, then there is no way all the harmonic content of timbre will be produced because, by design again, out of phase firing of part ... | |
| Remake of "Stairway to Heaven" Blasphemy Nrchy is just bustin' our chops guys. | |
| Transformer Hum Newbee may be correct, but his "solution" will not work in every case; in my personal experience I exhausted all the usual suspects (cable routing, cheater plugs, changing out tubes, swapping cables, both IC and power, even turning the amp around ... | |
| Transformer Hum I use a PS Audio Humbuster and this works well on my tube gear. It really quiets down those transformers. | |
| Best Pink Floyd recording CD or LP I have orginal UK import Harvest vinyl copies of both Meddle and Atom Heart Mother and Meddle is simply amazing sonically and musically. Atom is also better than the remastered CD. It's the spatial quality to Meddle during the heavy beat section w... | |
| Phono Preamp I agree with Agaffer here. I was using Synergistic Alpha One on my MMF7 and it was picking up a station loudly. When I went back to the stock cable, it not only sounded much better but all the radio was gone. Sometimes "less" is truly "more." | |
| Tube experts ---Chime In Do BK testers Lie? I agree with Nsgarch here. And how do you account for the few tubes that test as "good?" I mean if the others that tested "bad" were truly good, then those few tubes thst tested "good" should actually be STELLAR! This dog won't bark. | |
| Loading the Koetsu Urushi For the first three years of this cartridge I had been loading it at 100 Ohms but recently I have switched to the 249 Ohm setting on my Krell KPE Reference phono pre. I felt that after it was fully broken in that the highs had become just ever so ... | |
| 8 Vs 4 ohms DJK let us know the outcome. | |
| Rogue Cronus vs. Tempest II? Jclyle I also have a Cronus and ordered a quartet of KT77s from Mark at Rogue. This made a huge improvement in dynamic kick compared to the stock Svetlanas that came with it. I am tempted to get a T2 for those times like you when I want to rock ou... | |
| Best amp for Vandersteen 2sig My Vandy 2sigs sing just fine with a Rogue Cronus integrated. |
