| Well Tempered Amadeus I heard the Armadeus with its own arm. The Dynavector arm was on the Dynavector table (Dv500) which is made for Dynavector by Well tempered, and designed for the dynavector 507MKII. Both systems were great. | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus I got to hear a demo about a week ago. Very good table/arm. Dealer carries both VPI and the well tempered so i will hopefully get to hear some side by side comparisons. The killer table of the night was the Well tempered table made for Dynavector ... | |
| Bryston or Mcintosh Amps? I have heard the speakers with Mcintosh 1201s and they were great. You can find them used quite often. | |
| NAD M5 vs Cambridge 840c I owned both players. I preferred the NAD. However neither IMO can compete with either the Modwright (sony or denon) or the Exemplar 2900, or the rega Saturn. I have listened to them side by side. | |
| Tubes or S.S. for Thiel CS 2.4? I've had the chance to hear the 2.4s with several amps. I prefer the krell, followed by Ayre, Mac and Pass. | |
| Jolida JD9A or Dynavector P75 phono stage? Have not heard the Jolida. But have owned the P75 and its worth the money and more. | |
| Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ??? O.K., after reading this thread, you guys got me. Bought one off ebay today for 38.50 shipped. I told my wife I was going to take 38.50 out of paypal for a CDP, and she said she didnt know if there was enough there. She didnt believe me when I tol... | |
| Top line phono stages with at least 2 inputs Manley Steelhead | |
| Experience with the NAD M5....... The NAD is a warmer and more forgiving player than the Sony. The down side would be, probably to forgiving. The upside would be the NAD has a fuller sound that I prefer to the Sony. I have owned both and think the build quality is great on both. I... | |
| VPI JMW 10.5i and Dynavector XX2 MK II I use the XX2 MKII with a SSM, JMW 9 sig. set at 100ohm. Very small amount of fluid. I have heard several Dynavector/VPI-JMW combos and they work very well together. | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? Until I can afford the Manley Steelhead, I will live very happy with the Simaudio LP5.3 phonostage and PSX5.3 power supply | |
| Before I upgrade my cart from Dyna 20xl to an XX2 I've gone from 17D2 MKII, to 17D3, to the XX2 MKII. It tracks perfectly from beginning to end of the album. I use a VPI SSM with sig. 9" arm. Sound wise a BIG improvement over either of the other Dynavectors i mentioned. (and they were both very n... | |
| Despriately looking for amp for Maggies 20.1 A friend replaced his Ref 210s with the Mac 1201s. Big difference. Lots of power, added soundstage depth, more detail. the best i have heard any Maggies. | |
| Need advice on McIntosh driving Thiel 2.4's I have heard the 2.4s and 3.7s with the 2300/402 and they both had enough power. Very nice combo. | |
| Amp rec for AR REF3/CD7, & SF Auditor M's/REL B2 A good friend went from the ref3/CD7 combo with ref. 210 amps because he needed more power, to Mcintosh 1201s with his Maggie 20.1s. A big improvment. |
