| What is the single best pre amp you have ever hear I'll take your word for it. I don't mean to cast unwarranted aspersions. I think it was a weird way to position the thread but I'm happy to let it go.Bill | |
| What is the single best pre amp you have ever hear Tubegroover: I never said he's pitching speakers. I said he appears to be pitching Berning, with whom he has a commercial affiliation. That affiliation raises a red flag for me. Whether Berning's designs are SOTA, or whether I've heard them, is co... | |
| What is the single best pre amp you have ever hear This is a weird thread. The OP says he's not selling anything, then pitches a preamp from a manufacturer with whom he has a commercial relationship. He asks for opinions on "best single best preamp you've ever heard," but asks that we listen to th... | |
| SME M2-12R Cartridge Choices Don't know why this arm doesn't get more attention, especially since it's basically an upgraded version the classic 3012R, with better bearings and wiring. I've used an SPU Royal GM II and an SPU Mono GMII, both of which work wonderfully. And I re... | |
| Basis table or SME Thanks, Syntax. Another question: do you think a Minus-K or Vibraplane renders moot the benefits of the Basis suspension? | |
| Basis table or SME Is there much sonic difference between the vacuum and non-vacuum versions of the Basis? | |
| Gallo Stradas vs. Merlin TSM-MXRs I have TSM-Mmi powered by a Manley Stingray II in a large, very reflective room with no treatments. The set-up is further compromised by having the TSM in a large wall unit--solid birch and open-backed, but still way suboptimal. Nonetheless, they ... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Analog bloodsport in the ego coliseum. So thrilling. | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 I'll echo Peter's point. I recently added Minus-K platforms beneath my medium-mass Clearaudio (60 lbs) and high-mass Lenco (115 lbs). The improvement was remarkable in both cases, not merely in focus and microdynamics, which I expected, but in bas... | |
| Replicant 100 stylus longevity - truth or myth? FWIW, I talked to my Ortofon dealer yesterday about the life of the A90. The "official" position appears to be: sonics will begin to change on the Relicant 100 at around 1,000 hours because of "changes in the molecular structure of the diamond" (w... | |
| Replicant 100 stylus longevity - truth or myth? Downunder, thanks for the good info. My A90, too, is getting a little long in the tooth--or maybe short in the tooth is the better metaphor, since we're talking about wear on the tip. I'm curious, how did you determine yours was finished, by sonic... | |
| Phono Preamp as Control Center The Steelhead is two boxes, FWIW, because of its external power supply. | |
| bass traps I'm using a pair of GIK Tri-traps. They seem to work well enough but I haven't A/B-ed them against other makes. | |
| Best speaker for Manley itube Stingray? What Muzikat said. | |
| Raven AC3 Anyone else feel that a dealer should not be trying to sell his own TT's in a thread about a TT he doesn't carry? Seems very rude to me.I agree. It's obnoxious. |
