| rega rb300 wire I have a rewired RB300 on my Linn Sondek Lingo and I absolutely agree with TWl. All the usual clichés apply--you will not be disappointed, et cetera--if you upgrade your arm wire. This is a heaven-sent opportunity, either to improve your sound or ... | |
| Jeff gets goosebumps from a Shanling, thanks Toby It was my CD-T100, its tubes are upgraded to WE 396A's. I've had it about a year now, and my review is posted here.Jeff's system is a very good one, it rocks like crazy, but IMHO the CDP, a YBA Intégré, is his next upgrade. We could both hear a di... | |
| Help to pick redbook player Have you heard the Shanling CD-S100 ? It's in your price range at new retail, and is a very good deal indeed. | |
| Review: Shanling SCD-T200 CD Player See if the felt feet will unscrew... on my CD-T100 you unscrew two felted pieces ( the front ones, say ). Then you screw points into the resulting holes, and slip a point with a felt top under the chassis near the back to make the tripod.The SCD-T... | |
| Looking for a digital front end... I second the Music Hall CD25, also known as the Shanling CD-S100. | |
| Can I HANG my QUAD 57's? The PA system in the chapel of my English "public" school used a pair of Quad ESL 57's on shelves high up on the wall. They just stood there on the shelves. Pretty good sound... although all they ever reproduced was the minister's voice. | |
| catridge match with Morch DP-6 The DP-6 is much better than the DP-4, I'm told. I'm afraid I don't know how it would stack up against your Rega, but it is probably somewhat better. Is it better enough to justify the cost? Of course, that depends on how much you pay for a DP-6. ... | |
| Speaker Suggestion for teenage pre-stereophile Woops, I didn't read this post carefully, thought I was hearing from a father not a son. 600 bucks eh ? I like Asa's idea of buying something to carry you through later upgrades, and I like the Totem and Triangle suggestions. The Totem Ones are _m... | |
| What cartridge works for you ??? I used to have a Glider 2 HO in my Linn Sondek Lingo. I live in an area which is notorious for RF interference and never had any RF problem. Naked is cool but you can't be brutal with it.The Shure V15 suggestion is an interesting one too. I liked ... | |
| Speaker Suggestion for teenage pre-stereophile I have given my 2 teenage sons each an HK330B in good condition. They compete quite well with today's low-power NADs, IMO, and were a lot cheaper. Note the 330B has screw-down speaker connectors.One son will be getting a used pair of Paradigm Tita... | |
| Unsettled and considering changing stuff Hi Jeff, thanks for a great post. Like you I found sd's comments really interesting. I agree with him that improving your interconnects would give you more music. I went from UHF magazine's recommendations ( Van den Hul The Second, Wireworld Equin... | |
| Garbage in - Garbage out? When we tested and set up turntables in the Toronto shop I worked in, back in 1974, it was always easy to tell the difference between units--even through the 6-watt ss amp and minispeakers with the woven raffia grilles which we used to listen with... | |
| Best cd player under $600 used for system I like my new Shanling CD-S100, but it's probably too far under your budget limit for you to consider. $600 is about what it costs new. Still, I'd put it up against several of the suggestions here, since it's really an amazing value.However I woul... | |
| Speaker recommendation - 3K budget The Totem Mani-2 is impressive--and very hard to drive. If your Plinius puts out over 100WPC it just might manage them but you'd be happier with more wattage still.I like Totem speakers but I love my Meadowlark Shearwater Hot Rods. I'm sure you wo... | |
| Linn Ittok vs. Rega RB-300 Haven't ever listened carefully to an Ittok. I'm using a modded RB300 on my LP12 Lingo, with a Cardas Heart Reference. The arm mods are: Cardas wiring, Expressimo Heavy Weight and Michell height adjuster; the stylus pressure spring has been remove... |
