| Anybody own Audio Experience Symphonies? Update: I had Underwood mod the Envoy (spent $1600 on upgrade of preamp and phone sections), and it came back sounding much better than the Symphonies... so the Symphonies is going in the closet as backup. | |
| Yamaha PF-1000 vs Systemdek IIX ? I am still experimenting with the PF-1000. But wanted to comment that the PF-1000 suspension is far superior to the Systemdek. The Systemdek will move / bounce as I walk across the room towards it. Not only does the PF-1000 not bounce, but does no... | |
| "Bedini Ultra Clarifier", does it really work?? I recorded the original CD on to Yamaha CDR-HD1500 harddrive, then used a Quadri Beam Ultra Clarifier on one side, recorded again, and then A-B compared. It definitely was better, clearer, more detail, less veiled on my system. Then did both sides... | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- You put the record back in the sleeve/cover with side A facing forward. | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- I think the "audiophile" thing is because most of us are "project focused" (I would say a "man" thing, but I know there are women "audiophiles" out there). I spend more time reading/buying for the "project" while the music plays in the background,... | |
| Yamaha Amp Nostalgia I have several M2's, including one I purchased new with a C2a in 1982. I found the MX830 cleaner sounding. I think I will try my Yamaha CDR-HD1500 directly into the MX830 (without preamp) and see what it sounds like. I have gone to tubes with a Ca... | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- You only have one chair in your listening room(oh... if you have a listening room) | |
| CD Recorder :Fostex or Tascam? Thought I would add the CDR-1500 has a DAC function, with coax and toslink in/out connections... | |
| CD Recorder :Fostex or Tascam? While I previously used Tascam, now I use Yamaha CDR-HD1500 (eBay $620 new) to record LP's to WAV on harddrive. You can upgrade harddrives (I am using 650gb) and backup to computer. You also can burn a higher quality disk copy called "Audio Master... | |
| What cartridge for Systemdek IIX? You might want to try the Denon DL103R. It goes well with the Profile tonearm. | |
| How much power for Teledyne AR-9's I have had my AR9's since I bought new in 1982. I used to drive them with a Yamaha M-2, then a M-80. I have gone to a Canary Audio CA-301 mkii 22w 300b tube amplifier. Much better sound and never any lack of power... deep controlled bass, beautify... | |
| For those familiar with the original AR9 and tubes This is an old thread, but... I have had my AR9's since I bought new in 1982. I used to drive them with a Yamaha M-2, then a M-80. I have gone to a Canary Audio CA-301 mkii 22w 300b tube amplifier. Much better sound and never any lack of power... ... | |
| Yamaha PF-1000 vs Systemdek IIX ? Yamaha PF-1000 is dead quite when my Canary Amp is off, which is next to it... guess I found the problem. | |
| Rolled some 12ax7's recently... Tubes sound different in different preamps. Maybe someone can comment on the synergy of this. I have a Jolida Envoy and a Symphonies, while TF ECC83's rank high in each, the Mullard 10M 12AX7 out shines everything in the Symphonies, but is not par... | |
| Anybody own Audio Experience Symphonies? I have been using the Symphonies (not the Plus) for about 3 years with a Canary CA-301 MkII. Wonderful bliss.I replaced it (put in closet as backup) as I wanted a remote and phono section. I bought a Jolida Music Envoy. I rolled a LOT OF TUBES, go... |
