| So...What do you listen to in your car? I find listening to car hi-fi to be a distraction most of the time: if I am driving in a high performance car, I want to hear what is going on in the car, and around me- if I am doing humdrum commuting- which I consider to be more dangerous than d... | |
| best preamp ever - cost is no object I have been achieving some of that 'magic' Fcrowder mentions with a combo of Steelhead running thru the MM input, to the Lamm L2, using the latest Titan. Not saying it is the 'best' but the combo achieves more than the sum of its parts. And, while... | |
| Airtangent vs Kuzma airline Albert- did you get the XL/Airline and have a chance to listen to it yet? | |
| Phase Linear I had an original 700 which I used with a variety of acoustic suspension speakers, including stacked Advents. I eventually migrated to a set of Quad 57's and tube amps, but before I sold the Phase Linear, I did hook it up to the Quads, very briefl... | |
| Which would you choose to isolate your turntable? Here you go, Willster: http://www.avisolation.com/Index.html | |
| Which would you choose to isolate your turntable? Ain't cost effective for a 177 lb Kuzma TT. :) Still curious about HRS effectiveness in this category. | |
| Air Line Arm Owners- Compressor Electrical Noise Gotcha. Makes sense. It zapped when fed by the regular old house circuit, which wasn't part of that conduit, but right now, the thing is quiet as a mouse when plugged into the 240v step down and having the system plugged into the Hydra. The zero s... | |
| Airtangent vs Kuzma airline Rug: The difference between my set up of the arm and the set up done by Bill Parrish once my TT stand arrived was the difference between excellent and out of this world. Arm absolutely level and then and only then, balanced.- There is a trick to d... | |
| As Varied as the Audiophiles Themselves... And, it sounds like you were comparing real extremes in approach. What about systems that are ostensibly designed to be musical and uncolored? And often sound so different from each other? | |
| Grateful for Audiogon You know, I was just thinking the same thing. I'm relatively new here, and find the forums (fora) very helpful. I haven't sold anything yet (that's another story) but the few things I've bought so far have been terrific, and the experience is, com... | |
| Air Line Arm Owners- Compressor Electrical Noise Thanks for the responses, gents. (Franc- you have been constantly responsive to me in the past, for which I thank you). Interestingly, I had the compressor wired to a separate receptacle, connected via very high grade wire to a separate breaker in... | |
| retro but quality amp for ESL 57's Although the 57s benefit from a low powered amp, they will be revealing of its inadequacies in the mid-range. When I got my first pair back in the early 70s, I used them temporarily with a Dyna Stereo 70, then a ubititous, cheap tube amp. I later ... | |
| Air Line Arm Owners- Compressor Electrical Noise Initially, yes. And, its not insanely difficult. The key- as many have repeatedly told me- is the ability to get the arm absolutely level- which means that once you level the platform that the TT is sitting on- you are using it with the XL, right?... | |
| Air Line Arm Owners- Compressor Electrical Noise Well, here's the latest, since it's a holiday weekend and I wasn't going to reach anybody by phone anyway- I rearranged the electronics so that everything is plugged into a Shunyata Hydra, and still have the compressor plugged into my 240v step-do... | |
