New Nordostline : Heimdall, Frey and Tyr
I don't like Tyr. The low mid and bass presentation have somewhat been attenuated as compared to QuattroFil and Valhalla though it sounded more open. 
Interconnects for Nordost Valkyrja speaker cables
Well, I am too not a Nordost fan... till i have problem crank up the sound of my CD playback versus that of my analog playback system. It was unlistenable, somehow and somewhat. I have the Burmester PC and I decided to give it a try to change the ... 
Which is more important - Interconnects or PCs?
When you have a revealing system, the whole concept is to reduce the noise floor of your source especially for high end CD transport/DAC. Power conditioner is a good start and to me it is a "must" for any good setup. The other important area to lo... 
Ls 3/5a sound without the price.....
My upstair system is with the LS3/5a set up. So far, the only successful system which I was able to build to give me really more for everything the LS3/5a has is the Avalon Ediolon for my downstair set up. Ediolon is driven by a pair of MC-275 McI... 
Avalon Eidolon Diamond and Tenor Audio OTL
I heard a lot about CAT amps driving Avalon speakers although I have not used any for my Ediolon. Lack of authoritative bass- can it be your preamp matching with your amp? If not, you might want to look into speakers positioning. I noted very minu... 
Question for nottingham hyperspace owners
John- thank for correcting my mistake. It is just a low torque motor and it is commonly used for Spacedeck and Hyperspace. The only different is the housing for the motor. 
CAT Preamps vs Amps
I listen through my ediolon speakers, it is by far the best and most life like and natural. Easy to go along with different external phono stages. 
Calling all MC275 MK IV owners..............
I don't think there is any optimum setting for the gain. It all depends on your speakers placement and the preamp that is coupled with it. The other factor to consider is the size of your room and the distance between the speaker and your listenin... 
Best pre for MC275 amp
Heavenly match for my CAT ultimate pre and MC-275 in mono. The bass is deep and amazing. 
Question for nottingham hyperspace owners
The motor has to be different. Hyperspace goes with thicker platter and the moment of inertia is different and you have to have a larger torque to maintain the same speed. Also the platter is so much thicker than that of Spacedeck, the holder of t... 
Turntables better than a Wadia 861SE w/ Statement
Wadia? Not very sure about it. But i have the Burmester 969/970 digital combination. It is of different flavor as compare to my analog set up. Less time spent with digital as there are lots of fun tweaking my analog system. Overall it is more sati... 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
It depends on the size of your listening room. For a smaller listening room, I will go for LS3/5a. For a relatively large living hall, I am using Avalon Ediolon. I am very satisfied with Ediolon, the better front end added will allow you to explor... 
Mcintosh - Love Em' or Hate Em' ......Why?
Believe it or not? After I invested quite a bit of money in my system, the only amp got to stay is a pair of McIntosh MC-275. I don't think this is by chance. I have the Avalon Ediolon speakers, though it might not be the best and most expensive s... 
Vinyl's Noise Floor
Cheers! Please enjoy! Don't miss the golden opportunity if you willing to invest in vinyl and LP playback system. We have the best electronics around at this time let alone the cartridges. I can't breathe anymore, I am busy toying around with all ... 
Nottingham Space Deck Table......
Goatwuss - I had the Sota sapphire,Sota star sapphire,SME10 and the hyperspace from Nottingham. This SD sits on a very solid and heavy rack that i have. There are some suggested modifications and improvements for SD from this forum but I have yet ...
