| As Good as a Mohican... But Used. @twoleftears What Luxman do you have? I'm looking hard at the Marantz at this point. Reviews are reviews; and marketing is marketing, but the description of how the Marantz was voiced sounds just like what I'm looking for. Mohican reviews as ... | |
| As Good as a Mohican... But Used. millercarbon I got vinyl covered. And after talking with Keith Herron I jumped on the VTPH-2A bandwagon. ;-) | |
| As Good as a Mohican... But Used. "Good" is short hand for: holographic soundstage; tonal, timing, timbral accuracy; vanished noise floor; dearth of digitalis, etc. | |
| As Good as a Mohican... But Used. Other gear: Hegel H360; Rega P10; Herron VTPH-2A; two pair Sjofn HiFi The Clue (a pair each side), inverted on top of each other (spaced), wired in parallel (advice of designer): all Supra Sword wire.Don’t really want to do a DAC/transport set-up ... | |
| SUPER Staticy Record??? I use an Audioquest carbonfiber brush. (The gold and black one ’cuz it looks posh).Use the Record Doctor to clean: drops across one side; bush around prob four times +/-; flip and vacuum around about 5x. Honestly, I was shocked (haha) when I tried... | |
| SUPER Staticy Record??? Yah, when I say brushed again after the cleaning it was with a anti-stat carbon fiber brush while spinning on the TT. Room carpeted. Bare feet. | |
| SUPER Staticy Record??? Possible, but I gave it the same treatment I give all my records. I have to say it's a very quiet mastering job... on my Hegel I play it at an 80 whereas I'm normally playing my vinyl 65-70. | |
| Early Faint "Phantom" Turntable/Vinyl Signal??? Thanks guys. Love the knowledge base here. I was listening to Keith Jarrett's Koln Concert and the passages are so quiet with so much space between notes, the effect was very obvious. | |
| Early Faint "Phantom" Turntable/Vinyl Signal??? Appearing from the ether comes an explanation: "I think what your are hearing is print through either from the original tape recordings or from the records themselves. It is like one revolution of the record difference between the faint and the fu... | |
| Early Faint "Phantom" Turntable/Vinyl Signal??? Yah, I've heard it before, but never knew what it was. Last time I had a decent vinyl set up was in the early 2000s (TNT/Grasshopper/Audible Illusions) and remember it, but the rich vibrant knowledge base which is the internet was nascent at that... | |
| Phonostage recommendations under $3K I took delivery of a VTPH-2A about a month ago (running a Rega P10 through it). It is lovely and lives up to all of the praise heaped upon it in this forum. Keith also deserves all the kind words mentioned about him. It’s worthwhile to contact Kei... | |
| ~$15K floorstanders: opinions sought Golden Ear Reference. bing bang boom popcorn. | |
| Absorb or Diffuse Behind Listening Position? Check on the Matrix and BAD panels. Visited their websites. Look great. Thanks. | |
| Absorb or Diffuse Behind Listening Position? 6.5 seconds. But I was faster in college. | |
| Absorb or Diffuse Behind Listening Position? Hey folks. Of course I’m working with compromises here. To start with, the compromise is the room: only a "semi-dedicated" listening room; lots of glass; a good bit longer than it is wide; a pair of glass french doors flanking the wall behind my l... |
