| New Coincident Frankenstein 300B Stereo Version I have happily owned the Frankenstein MKII version for 6 years and had a brief experience with them hooked up to Victory II speakers. If I recall correctly, the VII’s were 97db and 10 ohms. I did not perceive any issues with this particular pairin... | |
| CD transports; do they really matter Tried 3 different transports into my Mojo Evo dac. Oppo (good), Pioneer (better), Esoteric (best). The differences are easily heard. The Esoteric with its VRDS transport is the winner by a wide margin. | |
| Atma-Sphere vs. Supratek I am a former Supratek Cortese owner, purchased in 2007. It had point to point wiring (i.e. the "rat’s nest"), which was touted as a sonic advantage. It had a lot of inputs and outputs, so there were wires everywhere. The phono stage was very nice... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO Interesting that the subject of cd transports came up in this thread, as after 9 months of ownership of my EVO, I recently decided to experiment with listening to the EVO through my disc player as a transport. Last night was mesmerizing. I am usin... | |
| SET vs OTL @twoleftears,No, I am just relating my extensive experience with one brand. I made it clear I have no experience with Tenor and Atmasphere. Nor do I have experience with other brands. The link you provided does not say anything about user experien... | |
| SET vs OTL I owned an OTL amp for 8 years and then switched to SET. No one has mentioned that OTL amps require many output tubes. For example, my OTL amp had 8 output tubes. The obvious issue is that OTL generates a lot of heat, but also with that many tubes... | |
| Apple Dolby Atmos Music - Absolute GAME CHANGER! Atmos music sounds good. I’ve been playing rock and jazz songs from Apple Music’s spatial audio playlists. I have a 7.2.4 system with Apple TV, a mid level Marantz receiver, in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, and a pair of subs. Riders on the Storm ... | |
| Modwright LS100 vs The followings @gte357s Mojo Audio Mystique Evo B4B (R2R) and Cerious Graphene Matrix (interconnects, usb cable, and power cable). Both manufacturers have a trial period if you want to demo. | |
| Modwright LS100 vs The followings I owned the Coincident Statement Line stage and the Supratek Syrah preamp, which is a Chardonnay plus a built in phono stage. The CSLS is a better preamp sonically than the Syrah. The phono stage in the Syrah is superb, though. I would recommend m... | |
| U-Haul Small Shipping Boxes for vinyl When I stored my LP's recently, I got boxes for free from Costco. Their boxes for apples are very sturdy, and as a bonus, they have handles on them. | |
| Favorite Guitar Solo Jerry Garcia, "Dancing in the Streets" from the Cornell show, 5-8-77. | |
| Fedex Customs problem This is my recent experience with international shipping and customs with DHL. It took nearly 2 months for my package to leave the point of origin (where my package had been dropped off). It was another 2 months before my package arrived at my hom... | |
| My conclusion: mid level $$ analog vs digital @sns - Well said. That has been my experience too. Right now my streaming setup is the best, but I could put more effort into my analog front end and maybe then it would be king of the roost. Back and forth it goes. | |
| Cat Scratch Fever? I interpret the lyrics to Stranglehold as being about a man whose woman left him and the man gets his revenge:You remember the night that you left meYou put me in my placeGot you in a stranglehold babyLast night I crushed your faceI never thought ... | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? I bought my SP10 MK3 from Steve Dobbins. He recommended the 12 inch Fidelity Research tonearm to me. I might have bought one if I could have found one in nice condition at a good price. I went with a Reed 3Q arm, which is wonderful.In the $5k to $... |
