| EXPERIENCED VAC USERSmost bang for the buck That's a great point, Al. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Shadowboxing with Punch? | |
| Rethm Maarga Impressions. Jhardy, I appreciate your comments. People do seem polarized by the Zu sound. Gotta hear it for myself sometime. | |
| AMG V12 vs SME 20/12 I'm with Jfrech. Try auditioning a tube phono stage or preamp at home. Either would give you a new window into your system; and you could always roll tubes to alleviate future boredom. I use a VAC pre-amp with my Bryston amps and like the synergy.... | |
| Rethm Maarga Impressions. Thanks, Jhardy. Care to elaborate? | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup I'm curious, has anyone compared the Def IV to the newest offerings from Rethm, especially the Saadhana 3? The top Rethm would seem to be the Def IV's main competitor among truly full-range speakers with a small footprint, designed around a full-r... | |
| Rethm Maarga Impressions. Jhardy,Congrats on your new Saadhana and please let us know your impressions as they settle in. I'm curious, did you compare them to Zu Definition IV, by chance? These would seem to be the two main options for high-efficiency full-range speakers w... | |
| Your first amp? Pioneer SX-525 receiver with Marantz speakers and a Dual 1214 turntable. Ah, the early 1970s.... | |
| PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better? FWIW, I just came across this recent review of PMC IB2i by Aron Garrecht on Ultra Audio. Some conclusions:"What the IB2i made clear is that, as always, sound is paramount, and when it came to sound, PMCs IB2i is a beguilingly good-sounding speake... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Psag,Definitely worth a try, especially if you can pick up the Stillpoints with a trial period, just in case. Good luck. | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers I haven't tried Stillpoints under speakers but I found them undesirable under source components. I bought a trio of Ultra SS and tried them sequentially under my Brinkmann Oasis, VAC Phi Beta preamp, and Manley Steelhead II. In each case, I found ... | |
| PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better? I listen to jazz most of the time, although my tastes run the gamut, through two extremely refined vinyl rigs with excellent electronics. My PMC IB2i sound terrific to me on everything. Consummate versatility is one of their best features. By no m... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Spirit, if you contact Audion and get a response, please post it. I'll be interested in what you learn. | |
| Waaaah. Snapped off my cantilever. Darkj, that's a serious bummer. I can sympathize because I did the same to a Dynavector ten years ago. Mike Pranka, the US distributor, took pity on me and replaced the cartridge at dealer cost. It was a kind of "leniency for boneheads" policy, an... | |
| TriPlanar Tips Hi Doug,Forewarned by your Tip #1, I was very careful never to raise the arm when it was locked down. What I did do, however, was to leave the arm resting on the cueing bar, lever raised, rather than on the arm rest, lever down. Over time, the wei... |
