| Dynavector 10X5 vs Blue Point Special "Evo III" Or (and still within your budget), go the whole enchilada and get a Denon DL103R from Koji.$250 plus $27 shipping plus a small fee for processing your credit card ... totalling to a tick under the magic $300 number.Once again, I have NO commercial... | |
| MC transformers - what do they sound like? Hi Doug,I would categorize the S&B in the very, very good category, but not in the world-class range of component. It continues to be my humble opinion that an extreme solution, whether it be a step-up or an active stage will be satisfying to ... | |
| MC transformers - what do they sound like? This topic can be one of the most contentious ones you'll find in this forum. There are people I respect greatly, but with whom I disagree on this topic.The relevant question (as far as colorations are concerned) is to compare an MC step-up agains... | |
| Upgrade Path - Arm - ? Teres? Greetings,I'd have to go with Doug as well as the other respondents in this thread.You have a couple of interim solutions - ones where you don't have to go for the whole enchilada from the onset. Depending on which path you take, you might even be... | |
| Schroeder model 2 or Morch DP6? Hi Larry, all ...Firstly, to those who don't know me, please take my comments with a grain of salt. As a Schröder dealer, I might be just a wee bit biased. Any comparson between the Schröder Model-2 and a Moerch DP-6 would be based on my 2 year ol... | |
| Request contact with owners of Micro Seiki MR-711 Hi Viridian,If by spam you mean non Micro Seiki content, you can go into Yahoo Groups to re-configure your settings.I'm subscribed to tha list, and traffic on that list has been very slow over the last 6 months.Cheers,Thom @ Galibier | |
| Schroeder model 2 or Morch DP6? Hello Slowhand,When Peter (Redpoint) and I were together, we acquired two DP-6's - with a total of 3 arm wands between us. I used a 9" Precision Red wand exclusively, as I was using Benz cartridges at the time.Both Peter and I had quite a bit of t... | |
| String suspension vs. uni pivot or gimball tonearm Hi Nghiep,I took a look at one of your earlier Audiogon threads, and it's obvious that you have been doing some "heavy lifting" in your audio hobby. I congratulate you for your passion, energy, and curiosity. While I have always been fascinated wi... | |
| ZYX Universe, Dynavector XV-1s, vdH Colibri, ?? Don't be afraid to go as low as 30 to 35 ohms on the XV-1s ... trust your ears.Cheers,Thom @ Galibier | |
| Teres, Galibier and Redpoint Hello all,I've been down for the count with a post-CES flu bug ... one of the down sides of having an incredible number of great people pass through our room at the show.Someone pointed me to this thread, and I wanted to address a few factual ques... | |
| wiring rec. for triplaner upgrade I've only been a Triplanar dealer for 18 months, and so my experience is limited to their standard wire in the context of the current offering - The Ultimate, Mk VII.I'd be cautious in deviating from their standard wire, which if memory serves, is... | |
| Motor & Bearing or Cartridge upgrade? Hi all,I continually wrestle with the question: when are you trying to put too much cartridge on your turntable? The old Linn hierarchy (turntable, then arm, then cartridge) is valid IMHO, but it is not an absolute one.One thing is certain, that s... | |
| "oldskool" tonearms Hi Dazz,Speaking on behalf of the MX-282, it's very much a sonic kissin' cousin of the very wonderful Triplanar Ultimate. My particular sample has one of the lighter arm wands and works very nicely over a range of cartridges from a Benz LP to an D... | |
| How much $ to "match" digital in my system? Ah yes ... string reproduction. I feel your pain. This is the most difficult thing for a system to get right ... at any point in the signal chain, and to my ears, it is not possible with the current state of consumer digital at any price.This week... | |
| ZYX Airy 3x/SB vs. Dynavector XV-1 or 1s All ...My comment about not knowing anything more than before the thread started (about Universe, Collibri, XV-1s) was directed at the thread named: "ZYX Universe, Dynavector XV-1s, vdH Colibri, ?? "and not this thread.Sorry for the confusion.My ... |
