| Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable @dover Could be! But I'm interested in the Nighthawk. Not the Blackbird. The Nighthawk was just released. As you may have heard, the Nighthawk is a significant upgrade to the Blackbird. Perhaps the bearing pivot point was upgraded? There were s... | |
| Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable @dover I've heard that Dohmann recently stopped recommending the Schroeder CB series as they found that there are better sounding arms; yet do recommend the Supatrac Blackbird and Nighthawk, which they feel "are a revelation with reference level... | |
| Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable Supatrac's Nighthawk. Or Blackbird for less cost. Great review by Fremer on the Blackbird. | |
| Looking for RCA cables from preamp to amp? Straight Wire is good but I replaced them with Townshend Audio's F-1 Fractal. Made quite a difference for the positive. | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! An Aussie Audiophile like the Smooth Lan as well. He has been big on Stack's Auva 100's and the EQ's. Do you plug the Smooth LAN directly into your wall Ethernet port? Then the EtherRegen into the Smooth Lan? Then your streamer into the EtherReg... | |
| What was the most expensive record that you ever bought ? @mikelavigne I agree and will not derail any further. I don't know which isolation thread is most current/relevant but in the meantime, I will scour your links. Thank you. | |
| What was the most expensive record that you ever bought ? @mikelavigne Very cool! I have the Classic Records180g LZII and the RL SS. I will do a comparison after I get my new TT. OT but do you use any special isolator pucks/pods etc directly under your DAC, streamer and amplifiers? I've recently hear... | |
| What was the most expensive record that you ever bought ? @mikelavigne I collected almost all of the Classic Record sets but passed on the 45 LZ suitcase because I had all the other LZ editions.... What a mistake! How does the 45 LZII rate against the LZII RL SS? | |
| What was the most expensive record that you ever bought ? @mikelavigne I have a sneaking suspicion that eventually, Chad at Acoustic Sounds will get the rights from Jimmy to reissue the Classic 45's of Zep. After buying Classic Records, Chad probably has all the Classic master tapes. | |
| Need recommendations on 15ft speaker cables Townshend Audio F-1 Fractals. I have a pair and they are excellent. And the way they treat their copper wires, the length doesn't matter. Nor if 1 cable length is different from the other. | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations Yes. The AV/2Ch set up can be excellent. If you need a great AV processor, I'd look into a gently used Classe SSP-800 on EBay. They go for around $1.5k-$2k and they cannot be beat. I have one! For a center speaker, see if you can find a used JM ... | |
| seeking advice on iso pucks /stands or similair that won't stain speakers? Stacks Auva's are supposed to be wildly good. | |
