| Cat Ultimate MkII Preamp mods for volume control? Hi Proclaim123. No, I have not heard the other vol control. I am aware of it as it was mentioned as an option when I got my Ultimate. I went with the stock control. I am sure that if you call CAT, they could provide any tradeoffs, should there be ... | |
| Cat Ultimate MkII Preamp mods for volume control? Hi. I believe that you can get a diff volume control directly from CAT. The other one, which is optional when purchasing a preamp, has more steps at the lower end of the control than the stock volume control has. | |
| Avantgarde Trios, SETs, and Impedance Curves The Art Audio PX-25 amp also has a Avantgarde option (a low noise input version). A fabulous choice for my Duos and likely for your Trios. Startling black backgrounds plus many other desirable sonic characteristics make this amp unique. I've also ... | |
| Atma Sphere MP 3 pre-amp compared to I have heard the MP-1. Suppose the MP-3 is at best as sensitive as the MP-1. The MP-1 is not a good option for low output cartridges unless a step up is used in front of the preamp. Otherwise, the sound will lack dynamics and nuance and have hiss.... | |
| QUAD vs Martin Logan vs Magnepan Hey Safox. Just to make sure you are in the loop on a new product. Quad recently released 2 new 'stat speakers. These are both sonically better and look significantly better than the 988 and 989 models. Price might be higher than the 988s and 989s... | |
| Please help - 3 top-of-mind choices for Avantgarde I own Duos which are slightly more efficient than the Unos. The AGs, in order to achieve good bass performance, require more power than you'd think. Regardless that the amp does not drive the woofer, as it but feeds the bass signal to the woofer's... | |
| Does Verity Parsifals mate well with solid? Hi. I solely used tubes, big Joule Electra OTL amps with my Parsifals. A good match. The person who purchased these speakers used solid state amps and felt the match was superb. I did not hear it but he raved and raved. If it helps, I will dig aro... | |
| Airtangent vs Kuzma airline Speedy. Actually, once I heard the sonic performance of the Basis Vector, noted it tracked in some instances better than the AT, cost tons less, I sold my AT. Had lots of $$ left after the Vector purchase which I applied towards vinyl. Not all ATs... | |
| Airtangent vs Kuzma airline Hi. I know nada about the Kuzma but have owned 2 AirTangents. The construction quality of the 2 AT's was excellent. Performance also was excellent. Unless the documentation has changed since I last owned one, they are kinda rough. So if you are do... | |
| With SME Model 10 is it possible to get 78RPM? Thanks Islandbird. Your comments address my yet-to-be posted recent entry. Regards,Tubes | |
| With SME Model 10 is it possible to get 78RPM? Thx Plato. That is what I thought. Given that, a SME or other highend 'table would require 2 arms to run 78s. One arm/cartridge targeted for 78s and the other for 33s and 45s. I have a bunch of what I am sure are top performances on 78s that I wis... | |
| With SME Model 10 is it possible to get 78RPM? Just curious, don't you need a unique type of cartridge for playing 78s? And thus, the cartridge used to play 45s and 33s won't do for those 78s? | |
| Differance between Avantgarde version 2 & 3 Hey Chris, happy that you are pleased with your Duos. You are 100% correct, the Black Diamond Racing cones/feet are new to and included in 3.0 series of Duos.Also, I think (though am not 100% about this) that it was with the 3.0 Duos that the cros... | |
| Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ? Hi Andrew,I own the latest Benz LP, like it, and am not looking to replace it. It has NOT been in my system for a while. I am somewhat lazy when it comes to installing cartridges, so I wait to replace my Basis Vector with the latest Vector III bef... | |
