| Picture Thread None of my best pieces are in my stereo system... but some pics are here. | |
| Phono preamp evolution I have for the past year or so been trying a few other phono pres and head amps and SUTs (all vintage Japanese units). I have been impressed with some of the low impedance SUTs, and a couple of the head amps. One head amp in particular has shocked... | |
| My girl friend is a genius Lloydc, LOL! | |
| Help: Speakers to fill Exceptionallly Large Room? I can recommend Altec Model 19s. They are large, informal, decent-looking, very efficient, have a long "throw", are dynamic as all get-out, are only somewhat difficult to find, and have good resale value. They can be found in 'beat-up" condition (... | |
| TW Raven One owners- will this be it ? I have not tried one but I have tried some of the competing tables mentioned in this thread about AC Raven tables, and of the ones I have owned mentioned there (a couple of the DD tables, and a couple of big Micros), all have been wonderful. | |
| Good beginer table, that I can upgrade? Syntax is right in that a good TT will not be cheap... IF bought in a market which understands what it is. There are plenty of places like thrift shops, Goodwill, and garage sales where one can find seriously good equipment in your budget.Otherwis... | |
| Coaching wanted on how to get back into vinyl I would similarly suggest starting simply. If vinyl appeals to you immediately, you'll find out after a few hundred sides whether you can stick with it. You may find at that time you want to spend more but you may also find the whole thing a chore... | |
| ZYX Airy 3 or Atmos Doug's review is here.The list of all of his reviews is here. | |
| Uesugi UTY-7 phono stage Kohey, Good to hear you like the Uesugi.I know nothing of the Rotel, or the Highphonics. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,Let me know what you think about the 100c after you have spent some time with it. I heard one, and found it to be the best MM I have heard, so starting looking for more. I don't have an AKG or an AT180/170, or several of the others on this th... | |
| Screzaloos? Gawdbless,You must be like all those people buying records in 1990.Honest1Not sure what problems people have if they want to put their iPod music on something else. There is a little hack (around for 7-8yrs now) called "Senuti" which takes care of... | |
| Fidelity Research cartridges My XL-88D is out of commission. It was almost dead ("just resting") on arrival because of a softish suspension. I have another XL-88 which I may use as a donor motor and try to get the motor transplanted into the 88D, or perhaps more likely the 88... | |
| How reliable are EAR amps I too have an EAR 859 and I love it.I agree with the poster who shouted about the trannies - very big OPTs and very low operating points on the tubes. I gather from a number of posts that the US distributor or dealer network is perhaps not the bes... | |
| SET the best? Blue.And while there are a few nice beaches out near Hanalei (especially the one with the wicked rip), I like Anahola beaches better (sorry hanaleimike), but I won't say which one because it isn't very crowded.I also really like Polihale. | |
| Help Starting from scratch I like the B&W 805s. I find they have limited low bass response ("limited" is a euphemism for almost none). I have tried the B&Ws with Classe amps, and they were quite nice. I would assume the Classe 1100 would match well.Having tried none... |
