| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! I put a deposit down for an SC-2, but I am not in the beta tester group. Sounds like the SC-1 is very close to rolling out. I'm hoping to read the impressions of SC-1 owners about the real-time click and pop removal feature. | |
| Scale and Type of Improvement with Aurender N100H? Depends on your Mac Mini.The audio dealer that I bought my Mac Mini from personally owned both the Aurender N100H and the Mac Mini at the same time. The Mac Mini is a 2012 model with i7, 128gb SSD, 16gb RAM, linear power supply, and extraneous pro... | |
| Upgrading path from Merlin VSM black magic Okay, the fact that your amps are 20 watts clarifies things. Very cool tweak! Seems more of an issue of room/speaker interface.Merlins are great speakers for smaller rooms, but in my experience, and apparently yours, they do lose a sense of scale ... | |
| Upgrading path from Merlin VSM black magic Another option would be to keep your Merlins, which are excellent speakers, and find a more suitable amp. I used an 80 watt OTL amp with excellent results, and also tried a 22 watt push pull 300b amp that worked well.. | |
| Upgrading path from Merlin VSM black magic By the way, I would keep the Frankensteins. They are very capable of giving you the traits that you are looking for, when paired with the right speakers. | |
| Upgrading path from Merlin VSM black magic I was in a very similar position – I had a pair of Merlins at the time that I bought my Frankensteins and CSLS. I also went from a medium-small room to a large room.I’m not surprised about your experience with your Merlins. Mine were a pair of VSM... | |
| Can anyone suggest a speaker stand that looks as good as the Grand Prix amp stands? Ozzy,The reviewer's speakers were Audio Note AN/E SE's, so I assumed he was using the monitor stands. Tom | |
| Can anyone suggest a speaker stand that looks as good as the Grand Prix amp stands? $879 is less than I expected. The review I read from Dagogo was effusive about the sound, but there is one caveat: "When you first put your speakers on them, they can be a little wobbly, but after a few days they settle in and have no movement fr... | |
| Can anyone suggest a speaker stand that looks as good as the Grand Prix amp stands? Ozzy,I found this old link to Star Sound which shows what their speaker stands used to look like: http://www.starsoundtechnologies.com/OLDSITE/compactmonitorplaforms.HTMLThey show a "topless" model, with "long legs and spikes" which might be up y... | |
| Can anyone suggest a speaker stand that looks as good as the Grand Prix amp stands? Ozzy, I do not know what custom stands from Star Sound would cost or look like, but I feel it would be worth exploring. It looks like you own or have owned Star Sound products. If you like the Star Sound products that you have tried, and if you li... | |
| Converting LP to digital. Advice please... Lewm -I am in general agreement with your post. It is the convenience features of the Sweet Vinyl SC-2 that are appealing to me.I have around 2500 LP’s that I want to digitize. I have an Alesis Masterlink. It is nice for making the occasional reco... | |
| Converting LP to digital. Advice please... Technology marches on. I don't think the Tascam offers de-clicking, nor does it automatically split and name tracks. The Sweet Vinyl SC-2 seems to do it all. It seems very promising as an easy to use all-in-one solution. It is being beta tested an... | |
| What's your OTL tube amp experience and suggestion? The baby on the changing table analogy is a good one. I called my Joule Electra amp a labour of love, perhaps because I had to treat it like a baby. I really liked the sound, it was wonderful within my system, but I battled buzzing and humming whi... | |
| ZYX Ultimate with carbon fiber cantilevers -- listener reviews? Lewm -Doug Deacon's review did not say the Universe was "decidedly" better than the 4D. Instead, the essence of his post is that the 4D (also known as the Atmos) might be preferred by rockers, and the Universe preferred by classical music listener... | |
| How good is the Technics 1200 Mk2 with all the KAb upgrades? Hi Fluffers,I had the SL-1200MKII with the tonearm wiring, fluid damper, upgraded mat, and clamp upgrades. It was a nice turntable, not quite on par with a Sota Cosmos IV that I owned at the same time, but very similar sounding. I did not get the ... |
