| Cartridge installation I should have said it takes ME lots of time to install a cartridge. New cartridges are constantly changing and a good installation on the first day could be made better by the 5th day. | |
| B&w 803s. Vs nautilus 802 Misssioncoonery, and Rhljazz.....I owned the B&W 802's. I gave them to me as a gift when my wife died. I just loved the looks of them....the top reminded me of a woman's part. I stand by what I said about them....they have a wonderful reputati... | |
| Cartridge installation Chances are, you are better at it than the pros. It takes lots of time to install it correctly....and then check and recheck the results. A pro will set it up to approximate values....the devil is in the details...it may take a few days...a pro is... | |
| B&w 803s. Vs nautilus 802 802 is a better speaker, however, it offers weak bass with little extension, fuzzy mids, and overpriced. | |
| Need a SACD/Redbook player The C5xemp is quite wonderful..especially in balanced config. | |
| Strange Klipsch thing They are VERY dynamic, but have their faults as you state. The big corner horn K-horns playing Marche Slave about 50 years ago at a friend's house, made me an audiophile | |
| Suggestions---Interconnects, Speaker cabling I have Vandersteen 5A's and found Cardas cables severly lacking....no cable is worse. I tried anticables with great success. | |
| How good is the Ayre DX-5 Universal as a CD player To these ears, the Ayre is quite wonderful. Just as an aside...did you know you can't blutooth flac files...just doesn't have the bandwidth. | |
| VPI Classic---replacing stock feet: my experience I have a Superscoutmaster/rim drive, and the addition of Bearpaws was a MAJOR step up. Increased ease, low bass, clean and clear mids, and sweet highs, increased depth and focus. I've heard the same when used on all VPI tables. Why YOU are getting... | |
| Can I connect my iPhone to my Ayre integrated amp I sometimes listen to my I-Pod through the upgraded Bose radio in the car...although the sound is there, it's not as good as the Satellite, or CD. | |
| Triangle Titus 202 or Triangle Comete ES? I only heard Triangle speakers once...it was their top of the line skinny, real tall speaker. Again this is the only model I have ever heard, and was severely disappointed in them. I don't know if it was the setup (a dealer near Princeton, NJ), or... | |
| Need a DAC recommendation http://www.dbaudiolabs.com/tranquilityDAC.html Wait until you hear this one.... | |
| Tonearm Choice:SME or Rega? Rega arms do not have the best bearings. They are relatively soft SME has knife edge bearings...a better choice. | |
| VPI Tonearm connector wire and record tracking The VPI arm's wire exits from the front of the unipivot bearing housing and thus has a built in side thrust compensation factor even without the twist of the cable. As the arm travels across the record, the loop is condensed so the natual spring o... | |
| Room Treatment for Corners - Recommendations? As a matter of fact, I did AB artificial and real plants, and real won every time. I suppose if the fakes are heavy and absorptive, they can work... In my experiments, artificials did nothing. Draperies...even thin and light ones work very well. M... |
