| Anyone hear both Parasound JC-2 and Pass XP10? That's okay George. Happy to wait. | |
| Anyone hear both Parasound JC-2 and Pass XP10? Thanks George. I'll be real interested in what you think of the Parasound. | |
| Need to finally replace my 8TC, but with what? Thanks Jay. I've actually tried Anti-cables in the past and I have to admit they are pretty good. They just didn't work in my system the way my speakers are placed in the room. Got in the way of things. | |
| Need to finally replace my 8TC, but with what? Thanks Johnny. I'm still weighing my options, but if I can get some of the newer TC (used) at a good price I might give it a shot. If it doesn't work out I'll be able to resell them with little (if any) loss on the deal. I think there's a good rea... | |
| Need to finally replace my 8TC, but with what? Thanks Fritz. The Monocles are a little pricey for me right now. Maybe I'll have to see if I can find any used. | |
| Need help with choosing a transport. Pmboyd, the Proceed PDT series of transports is quite good, with the PDT3 being among the best ever made (IMHO). They were also built like battle tanks. However, if you should find one and ever need service it will cost you huge dollars to send it... | |
| Need to finally replace my 8TC, but with what? Ah, good point Pmotz. I had forgotten about the Zobel issue for the Goertz. I use a FetValve Ultra to drive my speakers. Not sure if there would be any issue with this amp and these cables. | |
| Need to finally replace my 8TC, but with what? Thanks so far for all the responses. Aggielaw, I have heard good things about the Reality Cables. What speakers and amp were you using them with at the time?I was searching around on AA about this and found more than one person indicating that 1) ... | |
| Any decent improvments left for my ES-1? Just had a friend over for some listening. We spent most of the day listening to my digital front end (PDT3 + Boelen modded DSP7000 Mk.III) and things were fine. Went to analog toward the end of the day and we were pleased with the extension and a... | |
| Any decent improvments left for my ES-1? Rccc, that's great info. I've heard that the Rega may or may not be a good match for the 103R, though. Something about tonearm resonances. I wonder if an Origin-modded version with the slots would address that.Dave, yes I got the spindle too. | |
| Any decent improvments left for my ES-1? the jelco arm, which is the equivalent of the above mentioned AQ PT9 would be a significant upgrade to the mmtJaybo, which Jelco? | |
| Any decent improvments left for my ES-1? Dave, I did it piecemeal, but I have everything except the outer ring clamp. At the time that was the limit of my spending, given that I also did a motor upgrade and chassis damping - oh, and acrylic mouting board. I may try to track down a clamp ... | |
| Any decent improvments left for my ES-1? Hmm, should have done a search first, My memory is slipping - I asked this same question in 2005! But back then my ES-1 had not yet been modified.It seems like the the AQ PT-9 and Rega RB300 are the usual suspects for this table. Wondering further... | |
| Any decent improvments left for my ES-1? Mofi, I think the ES-1, especially after all the mods, is not bad at all. Yes it needs a rigid platform or shelf mount, and it may be just a tad soft in the low end compared to a non-suspended design. But it does a really nice job of putting out w... | |
| CD Player with digital input? Jimmy, there are a few of us reading! :-) Interested in your Cambridge assessment. |
