| Tube Phono Stage Help Thanks for the responses. I purchased the Jolida for 15% off the $450 price, so I couldnt resist. I see that it can be modded so there is an upgrade path for the future. | |
| Spin Clean as good as RCM, ie-VPI etc? The spin clean is certainly convenient. The Gem Dandy sounds good but carrying my records to the kitchen and invading the wife's territory with records sounds like a lot of hassle. If it does the job then it would be worth it but I wouldnt be clea... | |
| VPI Classic When you have sorted things out, can you report the differences between the Rega and VPI? | |
| Tube Phono Stage Help Lewm,To clarify, I now am using the Cary Cinema SS amp until the recently ordered Spectron arrives. I suspect it is more the nature of the recordings that give a lean sound rather than the phonostage. And of course I am very curious how a tube uni... | |
| Krell Home Schooling Anyone ? Need a Tutorial... If you want a good sounding Krell that you can move without a block and tackle, try the 400 xi integrated. | |
| Spectron vs Parasound vs Cary vs ? Ajackson1, Was that a tube or SS Cary? | |
| Upgrade from my Planar 2 Elizabeth,Sorry I see you listed the Cart in your 1st response, Thanks | |
| Upgrade from my Planar 2 Elizabeth,Lots of good thoughts in you post. After reading it, upgrading the phono pre first makes sense since my current table has a fresh calibration and cart. I prefer using tried and true combo's since I an new to the analog game. What cartrid... | |
| Spectron vs Parasound vs Cary vs ? The Spectron has a good reputation and it seems many use it to power the 802's. With a 30 day trial period its going to be pretty hard to beat. I wanted to explore some other options as I hope this will be my last upgrade for a while (one can only... | |
| Spin Clean Record Washer I let the record sit on the edge, just behind the cleaning pad to drip dry a little. I use the 2 cloths that come with it and add a microfiber (MF) on top. I lay the record on top and use another MF to wipe the extra fluid and then let it air dry. | |
| Spin Clean Record Washer I have one and it does a great job. Cant be beat for the dollars spent. | |
| Multichannel amp s for an all B&W system? You may also want to consider the Cary cinema series amps. While the Cinema 7B I use is only 100 per channel, it has plenty of grunt to power my B&W system (802D, CMC CM7). It is very musical so a 2 channel won't be needed. The more powerful C... | |
| getting your Library List on your phone/pda? Anyone use a scanner to catalog their library? | |
| Mac 402 or 501 for B&W 802D? I went to a dealer who had 802d so I could hear the Mc sound. Not sure whether it was 270W or the 402 but it did not have near the control that my Krell has. Bass was muddy and the mids undefined. That said, I would still like to hear the 501's to... | |
| D-Sonic Magnum 1500 OR demo Cary Cinema 5 I have the Cary 7b Cinema amp and love it. It powers my B&W 802D, CMC and CM7's quite well. Its great for music and movies- I listed to SACD and music videos as well as a small amount of movies. I have no experience with the other amp. |
