| Recommendation for TT power A couple of options you can look into although maybe not "audiophile" rated. One get a switching power center such as a PS Audio that has the 12v switch and have the table turn on and off with any component that has a 12v trigger. Or you can go to... | |
| Bi-Wire Tuning I haven't tried different gauges but different brands. A long time ago I used Linn speaker cable for the highs and Naim for the lows and had pretty good success. If I switched them the bass diminished and the highs developed a harsher tone. I forg... | |
| Rega RP10 VTA shims Mr. Carr, thank you for looking back at previous posts and responding to my question. I have read your response a couple times and must admit it is a little over my head. But if I understand your statements correctly, I could use a fluxbusting dev... | |
| Pink Floyd, The Endless River - REVIEW Ghost house, I finally found time to listen to this and found my first impression was very good. I believe this album will be spun a few more times in the near future. I do agree that the references to WYWH are purposeful but well executed with fr... | |
| Rega RP10 VTA shims Vinylkid, I took Mr. Carr's advice to the first step and bought 3.5mm in shims but yet to have had one made at the 3.43 as suggested due to time and budget. But I have been very pleased with the VTA setting for my Kleos. I wonder as well if the .5... | |
| Which DAC I have been using Sonos with the Rega Dac and have been very happy. I did try the Peachtree and Arcam and once I demonstrated the Rega it became apparent I needed to up my budget. Although now I am considering looking higher, Hegel, Bryston and ot... | |
| HELP slight floor vibration auditory vibrate noise Along the lines of Lloyddelee's suggestion, I have seen good success with adding solid weight to the top using a slab of granite with a felt mat to protect the surface. | |
| Pink Floyd, The Endless River - REVIEW Stereo5, thank you for your review. I as you, and a huge PF fan and have the album here but have not had time to relax and listen. Hopefully over the T-day weekend. I will interject ,although not directly related, that "A Momentary Lapse of Reason... | |
| McIntosh Tube Pre vrs Audio Research You may consider the ARC SP20, it doesn't have a DAC but I hear it is a real good performer. My dealer says that in a listening between the LS27 and SP20 they perform at the same level with certain subtle differences.I have thought of it as well, ... | |
| denon 5910ci Yes you got one great deal. I paid the 3800 for mine softened by a trade in. But it was a great player, I should have never sold it. It had wonderful video plus it was a great SACD 5.1 /DVD-A player.Enjoy! | |
| McIntosh Tube Pre vrs Audio Research I had a few McIntosh solid state pre amps before I decided to try tube. I have had a number of McIntosh amps and currently an MC402 for 2 channel and MC205 for HT. I looked at the C2300 and really was drawn to it as a long tim Mc owner, but kept h... | |
| upgrade advice from a Linn LP12 Jimbones, I had an LP12 for a few years and loved the sound quality. I sold it for other reasons and bought a Rega Rp10. Although I know it is a totally different table it has been a good lateral move. If the situation for the LP12 would have been... | |
| This might just be the end of brick and mortar I think the end result of this will be that the B&M stores will cease to offer the brands that Music Direct carry, e.g. Marantz, Denon, etc, but other brands that require B&M dealers will keep their doors open. | |
| Have your standards/taste in music changed? I have also noticed a widening of my tastes as I have delved deeper and deeper into this hobby/passion. A lot of my newer developed tastes have come from time spent at audio dealers and audio shows. Hearing what other people are listening to in bo... | |
| Why do designers/manufacturers...? I think a few things come into play here. One, they want to assure the buyer that they design is optimized within the component itself. By admitting a power cord or feet make the difference, would admit a shortcoming within. Although some have add... |
