| Record Cleaner Ok, guys, I'm a cheap b-stard on a limited budget, so I've been hand-cleaning my lps with home brew solution recommended by someone at vinyl asylum (distilled water, isopropyl alcohol, a dab of Dawn blue), scrubbed on with Magic Brush, and wiped c... | |
| dear lord, i need help... The GMA Callistos have better bass than the Europas (lower and more detailed) -- I have them in small room (12.5x15) with no sub and bass is engaging and appropriate. They're at the upper end of your price range, but there's a pair used for sale h... | |
| Budget MC Suggestions? Thanks so far. I guess I'm going to keep my eye out for a used DL-103 or a used AT-OC9ML/II and get whichever comes along at a reasonable price first.Now, as far as a preamp for an MC, it seems to me to make more sense to get a stand-alone phono p... | |
| Cayin vs. Antique Sound Labs I have the TA-30. For the past few months I used highly efficient Klipsch RB-5IIs with it and loved the sound. It was actually Paul at Bizzy Bee who recommended the Klipsch Reference line as a good match for the Cayin. About 3 weeks ago my Green M... | |
| Budget MC Suggestions? Thanks Stefani. If you're sure on the numbers then I guess I'm at these choices: (1) DL-103 or AT-OC9ML/II, and (2) a decent, inexpensive step-up transformer to mate with my Gram Amp 2SE. Thanks again, Rich | |
| Budget MC Suggestions? Thanks for the help so far. I had to check with Steve at theanalogdept.com to figure out what the stock arm is on my TD-320. It's a TP16-IV. Its effective mass is 12.5 grams. Based on a formula on Steve's site I plugged in the weight of the DL-103... | |
| GMA Callisto feedback Green Mountain Audio I had loaner Europas that I listened to briefly, waiting for Callistos to arrive. The Europas weren't broken in, so I'm not sure comparison is fair, but it seems to me that the Callistos have a much better bottom end, more assured and with much lo... | |
| GMA Callisto feedback Green Mountain Audio I've had my Callistos for about 2 weeks now. They arrived with about 100 hours of burn in on them, and I've played them about 40 more since then. Right out of the box they sounded remarkable. Rhythmic, effortlessly tuneful, with engaging voicing o... | |
| Can tube amps play loudly? Cds9000, I have used the Cayin with Klipsch RB-5IIs, B&W 602.3s, Morel 403.5s, and I in-home demoed the Meadowlark Eagles. The Klipsches sounded the best. I put that in the past tense because 3 nights ago my long-awaited GMA Callistos arrived.... | |
| Can tube amps play loudly? Cds9000, I'm a budget-minded person who opted for the modded Cayin from Bizzy Bee about a year ago. I can tell you that the 30 wpc it produces seem louder and more efficient than the 65 ss wpc my Yamaha receiver produced. I've tried a variety of s... | |
| any good turntables with repeat function Jdh9, I started a thread some months back asking about the best auto-lift or auto-shutoff tables available because I was thinking about upgrading from my Thorens TD-320. While the response was more limited than what I'd hoped for, the consensus wa... | |
| The New GMA Callisto is one good looking speaker.. Got tracking numbers from GMA last night. My Callistos will be arriving on Wednesday. According to new CEO, they're the pair GMA used at the Rocky Mountain show this weekend. Did anybody get to hear them?! | |
| Which is better, Jolida or Cayin? "Better" is a purely subjective term. I will tell you that I've had the modded Cayin TA-30 from Paul at Bizzy Bee for about a year now and I'm extremely satisfied with it. It is now my permanent power source. While I still find myself reading and ... | |
| The New GMA Callisto is one good looking speaker.. So, I guess beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. | |
| The New GMA Callisto is one good looking speaker.. Those audiocircle pics are the same ones sent out on the newsletter, new Callisto photo page and the spec page. The text of Roy's message in his audiocircle post is pretty much directly quoted from the new print literature. |
