| What Does a Cartridge Compliance/Tonearm Mass Mismatch Sound Like? Tom...even though the weight of that truck engine can be carried with my Porsche example....can you imagine how awful the suspension is able to respond to the bumps and curves in the road.... | |
| Clear Day Cables Speaker Cables Dave_72. Remember all cables sound different in different systems. After trying 35/40 pair of cables from every level of their offereings, I too have stayed with ClearDay. As I read the above posts they say how good these cables sound for the m... | |
| Most compatible speaker/interconnect and power cables with ARC ref system? To ME, it sounds like you don't really know what you want. Here's a recommendation.....Call Paul at Clear Day cables. He will send you his cables for audition....free of charge. When listening you will have a base line of reference, for any ot... | |
| Cart Recommendations ...Sounds like you'd like a top of the line Benz....LPS etc. | |
| What Does a Cartridge Compliance/Tonearm Mass Mismatch Sound Like? mistraking...even bouncing out of the groove. It's like putting a huge semi-truck diesel engine in a Porsche sports car. | |
| Used Pre - Ayre, Pass or Para JC2? The Ayre K1xe is about as good as you can get....even though its a bit long in the toothe. I was wondering what the need for bypass is.....the Ayre has a tape out setting....wouldn’t that suffice? Read the reviews of the Ayre unit....its really a ... | |
| Are there used/mint balanced pre-amp with a few unblanced inputs under $2000?? Sunnyjim.....Did a quick lookhttp://www.audioconsultants.com/equipment-Ayre-K1xe--Silver-7521If it doesn't have remote, phono, you can get Ayre to install them. | |
| Are there used/mint balanced pre-amp with a few unblanced inputs under $2000?? Sunnyjim...if you can find an Ayre K1xe used, grab it. It's what you're looking for. ..may be more money than you want to spend, but its a great piece. | |
| Most favored hearing aid for audiophiles I've tried them, but they turn music into cheap plastic. Went round and round to try to get to a good place, but the audiologist said that although the electronics of the good ones go from 20 - 20,000 hz, proper miniature microphones haven't been... | |
| Can headphones ever be as good as high end stereo? I should emphasize the fact that top earphones need a top dedicated earphone amp...the results are stunning. Plugging earphones into jacks with afterthought headphone circuits just don't work nearly as well. | |
| Subwoofers.... one 10" or two 8"? The most effective use of subs are to cancel nodes in the room. By doing proper placement of 2, 3, 4, subs, you actually make the mids and highs cleaner and clearer. The result of proper subbing is not to hear the subs as their own speaker (pump... | |
| Anticables speaker wire have no plastic jacket/insulation? Stanwal...years ago anti's were magnet wire. Paul's top cables today are silver/high quality copper...a totally different animal. ..they work well in some system, not so well in other systems...like all other cable. | |
| What's the deal with idler turntables and do they have a place in modern HiFi? Theoretically, idler drives have better speed control because belts have a stretch component that varies the platter. In the old days I had a Rek0kut table with a Grado lab arm and his top of the line cartridge of the day....it was belt drive. | |
| Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp?? ..just want to mention that I am using a low output m/c with Ayre, and it is dead quiet. If I put my ear to the speaker, I hear nothing unless the stylus hits the groove. | |
