| Can't get Acoustic Zen Adagios to sound smooth To Johnny R, Well if it makes you feel better that the famous one page "blue sheet" of instructions included in the IC speaker cartons was to build speaker stands....Fine...but, I did not find a owners manual you claim. But too often rabid devotio... | |
| Can't get Acoustic Zen Adagios to sound smooth Zd542; Sorry fellows, I occasionally lose my temper and don't like to use profanity on our blog. However, sometimes, it is necessary to drive a point home.BTW, NO MORE MOVES EAST OR WEST, though I do miss Hawaii. I now live in Southern Cal where e... | |
| Can't get Acoustic Zen Adagios to sound smooth Shakey, Thank you for also pointing out to the phantom of Audio Conection out that Richard Vandersteen is not a pleasant or even nice person to deal with. For a minute, I thought Audio Connection was John D Rockefeller Sr. who routinely chastised ... | |
| Can't get Acoustic Zen Adagios to sound smooth I wish I could answer each contributor to this thread, because many have provided many good comments But first, let me clarify something. I claimed that the speakers don't sound good on certain CD's. However, I don't buy crap recordings, even if t... | |
| Ortofon 2MBronze; Quintet Red; Vivo Red??? Johnny53, Thanks for the recommendationof the Exact 2. I have the P3-24 which came with a Elys 2 which got destroyed in transit to Hawaii. I then decided to take the plunge and buy a Dynavector 10X5. As I mentioned above, the Dyna was sold for bot... | |
| Ortofon 2MBronze; Quintet Red; Vivo Red??? Matt and Mofi. I had a Dynavector 10X5 for 5 years with moderate use. I sold it because I was fearful of ot getting it trashed in transit from Hawaii to the mainland. I also mistakeningly thought that an MC wear faster and so it was time to put it... | |
| Best sounding MC phono box at $250 or less?? Follow up to last response. Mattmiller, can you provide some info about the sound quality of the Nagaoka MP200. (The specs are very close to the less expensive AT cartridges I am currently using) I am familiar with the company but not its higher e... | |
| Best sounding MC phono box at $250 or less?? Thanks to all who have responded. I have heard that caveat about the Denon 103R and Rega RB301, but thought the warning was more like hearsay than fact. In addition, I would not want to trash the Denon cartridge by experimenting with adding additi... | |
| New AudioTechnica moving coils SF2-thru 7?? SKF, you are right about the model number. I will try to send MOfi the link if I can do it. If not just punch up "Audio Technica moving coil phono cartridges" That page will show several MCs by AT There is both an AT-F7 and AT-F3 (or possibly a AT... | |
| Advice: used speakers $600 Monitor Audio RS-6 is a great speaker and grossly underrated, except for Bob Reina of Stereophile who used them to compare other speakers. It is solidly built, and has the cleanest bass of any speaker under $3000 I have ever heard. You don't see t... | |
| Does a phono cartridge have a break-in period?? Thanks to all who have responded so far. I appreciate the info and education. | |
| Best value in a HO movig magnet $150-$200 I should have responded sooner, but holidays partying, lady friends, late nights.....I am making up for lost time wasted in graduate schoolNevertheless, I bought a AudioTechica AT120 cartridge for $119.00. It took 3 hours to install on in Rega P3-... | |
| Speaker type: is more affected by room acoustics Thanks to all who have responded. Ivan and Duke's response deserve careful study over the holidays. For the record, I have a box of IC's collected over 25years. The Monster Reference IC was purchased in 1988.Also, in the box is a Synergistic Alpha... | |
| Best value in a HO movig magnet $150-$200 To Virdian, Thank you again. The information was very helpful. I am also putting the Shelter 201 MM cartridge on my short list of choices (which has a an output of 4mV.) It list for $225.00. but have seen it on ebay for under $200 I believe it was... | |
| Best value in a HO movig magnet $150-$200 Virdian, Thanks for the advice, have you personally used either of the Nagaoka cartridge you mentioned?? I have two concerns about this brand. Is the cartridge shieled against hum?? the Rega P3-24 does not have a ground wire??. Second, there is a ... |
