True Headphone AMP? The headphone amp of your choice would be a better approach than your Hafler. ..better sound, easy connection, etc. Look at Headphone.com | |
All time favorite speaker cables I've said this so many times...there is no best cable...all cables sound different in different systems. The absolute worst sounding cable in MY system was any iteration of Cardas cable. That's not to say they are crap, because in the right system... | |
Power Cord Recommendations I use Acrolink with Furutech F1 connectors or Oyeida...very happy with the results. | |
XLR and RCA interconnects in the same system? Kr4....listen and be enlightened. I am a musician, not a scientist. I place my trust in my ears. | |
XLR and RCA interconnects in the same system? Hi again Liz.... Actually isn't "theory" as you suggest. Anyone doing an A/B between balanced and single ended can clearly hear the difference. I guess using mid-fi equipment it makes no difference....however in the persuit of perfection, balanced... | |
XLR and RCA interconnects in the same system? Hi Liz...you're very wrong. If (and only if) your system is completely balanced from beginning to end, there is a definite advantage.. providing the components are truely differentially balanced. Most components that sport XLR connections are Not ... | |
VPI Classic original vs newer tonearms Although the tower is "nice" ...making VTA extremely easy to adjust, it doesn't contribute to the sound at all, and indeed, setting VTA via the knurled screw is pretty easy after all. The Valhalla wire is worthwhile...just send the arm and junctio... | |
VPI Scoutmaster Tonearms I went from a VPI 9 inch Valhalla to the 10.5 with Valhalla...There was not an aural difference that I remember ...if there was one, it was very hard to find....not worth the time or money. | |
Gyrodec Best Tonearm If the Zeta is working well, keep it. Change for change sake is expensive and unproductive. | |
What Solid State Pre-Amp compares to ARC LS-26 Listen to Ayre | |
best RCA interconnects under $150 Anti-Cables...still my favorites | |
Wilson Wat Puppy 7 or Avalon Opus Ceramique? The Avalons sound more like music to me.... | |
My Marantz TT-15 and Parasound JC3 don't get along Grounding issues are ticklish things to take care of .... If there is a 3 prong plug on your preamp, use a cheater to eliminate the 3rd ground. If that doesn't work, use a thin wire you have around the house to ground the turntable to the preamp. ... | |
Good turntable needed, need recomendations. If you live in or near Scottsdale Arizona, you are welcome to come hear my VPI Superscoutmaster rim drive driven by Ayre gear into Vandersteen 5A's. Let me know if you are interested. | |
Is One Subwoofer Really Not Appropriate For 2-Chnl You only need 1 sub since the very low tones are non-directional, however....the more subs the merrier 2,3,4 to even out the pressure zones in the room. Also, power subs alleviate the current drain on your main amp so the amp can do its very best ... |
