| Will a Rega P6 work with a Denon 103r,103D .Sumiko Blue Point Special cartridges You'd sell the Rega just because it's arm is a poor match with the Denon cart? There is a whole world of other MC carts in your price range that would be a good match compliance wise. | |
| Bias adjustment So it appears that the Cary tech was correct. Your readings were wrong. I have to say, due to poor communication with the manufacturer you end up proclaiming that you'd never buy a Cary product again if your life depended on it despite the issue ... | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions @millercarbon is correct here. The D7's aren't too revealing and that's a fairly nonsensical term I agree since it is an attribute we desire. In my experience over the past 2 years with these speakers is that the tweeters need some run in to she... | |
| New Amp help/recomendations? Do those Raven amps still come with a fire extinguisher? My memory is faulty at times but I thought one of their amps went up in smoke during a Stereophile review. Honestly though...I've heard people love the Reflection MKII. I'd like to check o... | |
| Will a Rega P6 work with a Denon 103r,103D .Sumiko Blue Point Special cartridges That's the RB330 tonearm? No on the Denon and yes on Sumiko based on compliance match only. I assume that's what you were asking? | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions How many hours are on your D7's? I have a pair and they take quite a while to run in. At 150 hrs you will notice the tweeter more relaxed and they keep improving so up to 500 hrs. Well worth giving them time and the music sounds great along the ... | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. This talk of Joey got me thinking about genres of jazz that may be accessible and enjoyable to those who prefer something closer to a rock jam session with a dash of funkyness thrown in. Some of the organ trios could rock their butts off. Very gr... | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss and here's the funny thing...I have an XA30.8 that I really enjoy in the way it fits in my system. I really don't care much for any Pass amps outside the XA series and I definitely don't like the Pass pre's as I feel they are a bit too hifi-ish f... | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss but @erik_squires if that were true, that this was all about broadly uncovering the journey we all take in discovering what we like and how we arrived where we did etc... wasn’t it quite arbitrary to select Pass as the gear to specifically reflect... | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss The premise of it all is very funny...."So why on earth are you enjoying your Pass amp so much?" As Greta Thunberg once said - "How dare you!" | |
| ISO good quality tube pre-amp You should be able to find some nice used CJ and ARC preamps in that price range. I assume no phono stage needed? There is also a lot of love for Don Sachs preamps but I've never listened to one myself. | |
| Is there a difference in sound between a coax cable and an optical one? In terms of my Benchmark DAC3, the manufacturer indicates that its optical inputs are not recommended for DSD or for sample rates above 96 kHz. They cite that optical connections may be unreliable at sample rates above 96 kHz. For this reason al... | |
| Can I use a Bluesound Node 2i as a Preamp? Technically yes, the Node2i will work using the app volume slider while plugged directly into an amp. For kicks I tried this one day while waiting on an integrated amp to arrive. I plugged it into a Class A tube amp and it worked but didn’t sound ... | |
| Tweaks - An Honest Discussion @reven6e But once everything is in place and the big job is done, I see no harm in trying lifting cables, controlling vibration, trialing different cables and any other number of "tweaks". Completely agree with this and it has been my approach... | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. @tvad Kenny still made bank, though.And to your point, Metheny went on to say:Of course, I am aware of what he has played since, the success it has had, and the controversy that has surrounded him among musicians and serious listeners. This contro... |
