| Proceed PDT 3 & PDP 3 Blamere, I still use the PDT3. IMO the weaker part of that pair was the PDP3. I've paired it up with a PS Audio PWD Mk.2 and the sound is glorious. If the PDT3 is still working okay and you think you'd like to hold on to it, I think you may be abl... | |
| Concerned about my MIDAS shell 103R transplant I guess I was concerned that the strong pull due to a large metal object might generate some untoward motion in the motor assembly. But as I thought about it further after posting it seemed to me this would be pretty unlikely. Panic in the face of... | |
| denon 103/wood, benz glider, AT ptg33, or AK audio +1. Excellent write up. | |
| Power Cable for PSA Perfectwave MK2 I use a Shunyata Cobra Zitron. Among the cords I've tried (VH Audio Airsine, Flavor 2 & 4, Fusion Audio Enchanter, Synergistic Research) for my Mk.II this is the best match in my system. Seems to do everything right.I actually use some of thes... | |
| Cones under a suspended table? Mrvordo, that's exactly the sort of improvement I'm hoping for. Tell me, did you use BDR3 or BDR4 cones? | |
| Cones under a suspended table? Good suggestions. The EdenSound BearPaw falls into the spike camp. The thing that has me scratching my head is whether an approach - points, cones, balls, squishy pods - is considered theoretically more correct for a suspended table. | |
| What's better than Linn Akito Mk2 in a Linn mount? Thanks Chayro. In the past I've tried to look for a late era Ittok but never seemed to get hold of one. Do you know if there are any non-Linn arms that use the same mounting dimensions? | |
| Best cartridge options for around $200. Nice range of carts, Johnnyb53. I'd love to hear if you've compared the AT150MLX to a hot-rodded Denon 103 or 103R (Zu or Soundsmith). | |
| Best cartridge options for around $200. I just heard a Grado Gold on a VPI Traveler yesterday. It was very very good. I think it's just a bit over $200. | |
| Need inexpensive ICs with superior shielding - and it doesn't appear to be a ground problem -...buuutt it is. It's the new power cord I'm using on my PS Audio PWD. I was previously using a cord where I lifted the wire to the ground pin because of a ground hum problem with this DAC. I complet... | |
| Need inexpensive ICs with superior shielding Thanks all. After some experimentation it seems it may not be the IC after all - or the grounding, for that matter. The ICs (with its current routing maintained) when connected directly to the line level source which normally goes into the MC prea... | |
| Need inexpensive ICs with superior shielding I'll give it a try, Reubent. | |
| Swans M200 died - don't want to replace with same I had the impression the Audioengine A5 did not have quite the same range as the M200, but I guess I should check out the specs. | |
| toning down the ps audio perfect wave dac I have to agree with John (Jdoris). I had the PWD in Mk.I form before upgrading to Mk.II, and in neither case would I call it treble heavy. Relaxed but highly resolving (referring to the Mk.II). | |
| How do Au24e and Neutral Refs Compare? Thanks Xti16. I'm surprised that the Neutral Refs were rolled off in your system. I've heard them (not in my system) compared to other Cardas cables, and in that context they did not sound rolled off, but I guess that's no surprise since (IMO) a n... |
