| Room Treatments added, with negative effects.. Don't overlook the very interesting ideas on speaker placement from Audio Physic itself. I don't have Virgos, but I did end up with a setup essentially consistent with the AP approach. This should be your starting point, as it intends to eliminate... | |
| Linn LK140-Linn Genki-Sonus Faber Grand piano Home Nothing wrong with that combination at all. Also consider the Linn Espek (I actually liked the now-discontinued 5140 better), as the all-Linn setup allows a great upgrade path. You can add amps with active crossovers built in. Improves your rig wi... | |
| Sound Anchor Stands...worth the money? Has anybody tried Sistrum's Audiopoints in a Sound Anchor stand, in place of the stock spikes? | |
| PC and isolation device for Linn Classik I have 2 Linns with toroidals (lk280 and majik) and 2 with Brilliant SPS's (wakonda and karik), plus a Lingo, and my experience is, like Lugnut's, that the SPS is very little affected by power cords. I do use subaruguru's belden cord on the karik,... | |
| Sound Anchor Stands...worth the money? Not only are they worth the money, Sound Anchors are one of the best buys in all of audio! As close to a no-brainer as it gets. | |
| 3.6 Maggie owners input needed on amps........... There is a Sim W4250se for sale right now. Direct predecessor of the vaunted W5, this amp should be a great match for the big planars. It's within your budget, and has tons of current, huge damping factor, 250w, bipolar outputs, and no global feed... | |
| What about the Hales Transcendence 5's If I recall, the T5 got a bad rap for poor integration between the woofer and the midrange. I heard it driven by a huge Theta amp and Naim CD. That aluminum midrange is very immediate, resolved and open; practically electrostatic. The speaker was ... | |
| Suggestion for Audio Stores in Worcester & Boston Natural Sound in Framingham is also good, although Goodwin's is the best. Natural Sound has a terrible physical store, but the people are nice and they have some good brands. Levinson, Revel, Magnepan, Bryston, Rega. | |
| Has anyone heard the new Led Zeppelin Live cd To be clear: the CD and the DVD do not overlap at all. They are from different concerts, with the CD representing just two shows, in LA, and the DVD covering their entire career. An astonishing amount of material that I am looking forward to unpac... | |
| Fuse for Tice Powerblock II Do you know why the amperage exceeded the fuse's rating? | |
| Dynaudio Special 25 vs Totam Mani 2 Any predisposition? I have heard these speakers in a store, and found them quite different. If you like drier, more detailed, higher resolution sound, the Dynaudios are better. If you like things warmer and richer, with more harmonic emphasis, the... | |
| Current Thiel and Aerial owners-- please comment.. I recommend that you add information on your electronics, as it is hard to form an opinion about the speakers without knowing what would drive them. Thiels with solid state are a lot more analytical and dry than Aerials with tubes. Swap the amps a... | |
| Need a Basic Education on the LP12 Timwat -- ouch. Truth hurts.That cartridge sounds like a K9, which used to come on the Basik as a package. I would go next to an Akito/Klyde in your position, t. The Creek can hold it's own until you can take a big step to something like the Linto. | |
| Need a Basic Education on the LP12 Upgrades in order of importance, weighted by cost, in my opinion: Lingo power supply, Ittok or Akito arm (Ekos too expensive), Linto phono preamp, Klyde or used Arkiv cartridge(Akiva too expensive, and Arkiv rebuilds at the factory are a good deal... | |
| Compact Equipment Check out the new Linn gear. I think it has all of that in one box! Hold on to your wallet, though. |
