| Review: ZYX R100 Cartridge Scato, I have been posting the ZYX cartridges here on the Audiogon sporadically over the last few months, but it seems that nobody was interested in hearing about this very nice cartridge. I'm glad that you took the plunge, and got a real good car... | |
| Robert Plant-Dreamland Ben, I think it is great that you post these comments on the newer recordings that few have heard yet. I have noticed your posts on the others as well, and it helps me to decide on what new material to choose when I am at the CD store. Thanks, and... | |
| Weird Bass Reponse on my Speakers. You are probably reading a room notch at the 200Hz mark. The mid-woofer probably has a resonance point right around the 80-100Hz area, which would pull it down some there, and the passive radiator kicks in to recover it down to 40-50Hz. The websit... | |
| What's the size of your listening room and/or ht? My room is 24'long and 14'wide. The ceiling is vaulted: 8' behind the speakers at one end, rising at 45degrees to 16', leveled off for 8', and sloping back down to the far end at 45degrees to 8' again. I use the entire room, with no divisions. It'... | |
| Best CCR album? Sorry. Well, whatever album it's on, "Suzy Q" is a must have. And so is "Fortunate Son" too. | |
| Best CCR album? I think "Cosmo's Factory" is the best overall album of the bunch, but "Green River" is a must, if only for the "Suzy Q" track alone. | |
| Shanling CD S-100 vs: Music Hall CD25 Just a little reminder, all Chinese industry is state owned. China is a communist country. They use slave labor, which is sucking jobs out of America. Their stated goal is the destruction of the US. They have threatened to nuke LA at least 3 times... | |
| Manners, Eticks & Audiogon --- What do you think??? Cloudgif, if you had come to this site a couple of months ago, you would have found things to be very different. I've been on here for about 6 months, and things have really changed alot in the past 30 days. For the worse. It reminds me of what ha... | |
| Gain and Loose b/t SET amp and Maggies route? Well, even though there seems to be some kind of prevailing consensus around here lately that tube amps are too distorted to listen to, I will forge ahead with some more "folly".Generally, a shorter signal path with less gain stages and circuitry ... | |
| High Sensitvity = good transient response ? I'll try to remember that next time I cue-up a specifications sheet on my turntable. :^) | |
| Best 300B Integrated Amp Why the David Berning Seigfried 300B SET ZOTL, of course. About $5700. It's a true SET 300B with OTL transparency. It's equipped with it's own passive preamp section for 1 input. It's got it all. 'nuff said. | |
| Why do my albums sound better at the end??? Herman, sometimes, if you have a TT that comes without an arm, and an arm was installed on it, the pivot-to-spindle distance is not adjusted correctly. Thus, if you used a single-point cartridge alignment guage, you would not know about this. The ... | |
| Cain&Cain Abby That is good news for you. If the new Fostex are even close to the new Lowthers, then you are in for a treat. I'd be very interested in an audition report. Remember, the Fostex and Lowther both require quite a long break-in period, so don't be too... | |
| Looking reccom. for tube pre amp for about 1000? I think Phild is on the right track. I would also add the MFA Magus to his list. | |
| Questions - returning to analog I would heartily recommend the TERES AUDIO turntable line. It is higher priced than REGA 25, but is one hell of a TT for the money. For $1350 for the TT, and about $250 for a RB250 arm, and the cart of your choice, you have a top-end contender, wi... |
