| need advice for budget preamp for Rega p3-24... I saw a demo PS GCPH on Music Direct on clearance for a great price--plus you would get the warranty. I love mine. | |
| WHAT CARTRIDGE FOR CLEARAUDIO EMOTION? I have the virtuoso on my Marantz TT15 which is similar to your table, and love it. Smoooth midrange, nice imaging, wide response, and 3D soundstage. The stylus is a bit fragile and nonreplaceable however. So be careful. | |
| Looking for a Preamp up to $3K Pass XP 10, just a bit above your price range as demo/used model. | |
| Getting Into Analog-Vinyl For The First Time...... I am enjoying my Marantz TT15 s2 coupled with a PS Audio GCPH. It provides all the PRAT you are after, along with quiet performance and a three dimensional soundstage. Great on jazz, rock, acoustic, vocals. Natural sybillants, and a nice overall d... | |
| AZ Satori vrs. KKable's 12TC vrs Cardas Quad 5c I agree--I called Robert personally to get his take based on my system. He easily could have convinced me to use them most expensive cables in his line, but said the Satori was perfect for my setup. He also personally fixed some powercords at no c... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4SR or Revel Ultima Studio 1 Nice system, but I have no first hand experience with these components. You could call Von Schweikert and see what they recommend speaker wise. I know they use AP wiring inside the speakers, so your speaker cables are already on track! I run a Pas... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4SR or Revel Ultima Studio 1 VS speakers are all extremely musical in my experience. I think "musical" (IMHO) generally means revealing and detailed but not at the expense of excessive analytical qualities. The OP was asking about the VR 4 Sr, not the JR. My experience with t... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso or Pass Labs Preamp To other posters who mentioned the X1, The X1 Pass is not comparable in any way to the XP series. I had the X1 before I moved up to the XP10. Completely different sonic signature and attenuation/gain. Pdreher, I had an issue with a used Calypso th... | |
| AZ Satori vrs. KKable's 12TC vrs Cardas Quad 5c Eniac, glad you are enjoying them. I agree, you can try a bunch of other cables and they each may do any one thing a bit better, but for the overall package, for overall balance, enjoyability and coherence, the Satori really do work nicely. Keep u... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso or Pass Labs Preamp I have directly compared the Calypso and the Pass XP10. No contest, the Pass blows the Calypso away==much quieter, far superior build quality and much deeper and controlled bass. I think time to time about upgrading to the XP 20 but hard to say if... | |
| rogue dronus magnum issues this poor guy is probably looking for more helpful responses than these, come on guys! | |
| Anyone with W4S amps and preamp Bel Canto gear sounds wonderful, esp the latest models. I love my REF 1000 mk2 (now M) paired with a Pass Labs XP10 pre. Wonderful combination for warm, open, wide soundstage, excellent detail, dynamics and PRAT, very deep tuneful bass. I hear ver... | |
| Pass X150.5 vs. X250.5 Plug your amp right into the wall, and forget the conditioner. | |
| Stereophile vs. Sports Illustrated and it's all EXPENSIVE | |
| AZ Satori vrs. KKable's 12TC vrs Cardas Quad 5c Yes, it will definitely widen the soundstage nicely, if that's what you are seeking. It also gives nice depth. The nice thing about these AZ cables is how they suspend all the elements nicely in the soundstage. Cymbals especially have a very nice ... |
