| Clearaudio innovation wood or SME 20/3 Peterayer,Which of these tables have you heard in systems similar and resolving enough to discriminate among them? Just curious, since you seem to have firm ideas about their sonic differences. | |
| Clearaudio innovation wood or SME 20/3 Another Innovation Wood fan here. Mounted on it, I have a Graham Phantom II with an Benz Ebony S-L and a Clearaudio Universal arm with an A90. It's an excellent table. | |
| 'dimple' tweeter fix Those Dynaudio tweeters must look like clown noses to young kids. A friend's 3-year old poked my Dynaudio Contour 3.0 tweeter. He saw it, extended his index finger, and made a beeline from ten feet. Irresistible! But he was the only one laughing. ... | |
| Good 6922 tube for my CJ ET-3 SE pre-amp? One more nod to those Amperex USN-CEP 7308. German-made Valvo Red Labels from the 1960s are also a favorite and less costly. They're kind of a German Amperex PQ. Siemens 7308 get a lot of love but I find them a touch cold. Of course, it all depend... | |
| Who listens only to vinyl? Vinyl only in my main system. I have two other, smaller systems for digital. | |
| Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl? Hiho, your taste is impeccable. In other words, I concur completely! ;)Bill | |
| Ortofon --- A90 or SPU 90th? Uh, that should say, "it's pretty scarce, hence the premium." Please excuse. | |
| Fuses that matter. Geoffkait, yes that is interesting. I *think* I reversed the glass one--it's something I'd be likely to do--but I can't recall for certain. Once the ceramic went in, I was happy again and thought no more about it. | |
| Ortofon --- A90 or SPU 90th? Jcote,The SPU 90 was a limited edition when made but now, long discontinued, it's pretty scare, hence the premium. IMO, to get the most out of an A90 youneed to be able to really fine-tune VTA, etc., like you can with a Tri-planar or Graham or Cle... | |
| Fuses that matter. Good to see people getting their humor fuses lit in this thread! I don't know about high-end fuses but cheap ceramic ones made an obvious sonic difference in my Manley Stingray II. It shipped with ceramic BUSS fuses, which blew in the filament-exp... | |
| Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl? I meant 5-LP box. Please excuse the typo. | |
| Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl? Mal Waldron, "Impressions," with Addison Farmer and Tootie Heath, 1959. Rhythmic drive with brooding undertow. OJC reissues are around in used record stores with decent jazz selections.Anything by Herbie Nichols. Hints of Monk's angularity, humor,... | |
| Ortofon --- A90 or SPU 90th? I think you can only get the SPU 90th as an NOS aftermarket purchase, which means without the normal Ortofon warranty. Take a look on eBay. 2juki often sells them. I've bought from him before and he's been dependable. The top of the current SPU li... | |
| Where Have All the 2A3 Amps Gone Listening to one as I type. Sounds, if not mighty, mighty fine. | |
| Vac Sig MKII tube circuit upgrade My Phi Beta preamp has the switchable option of using 6922 or 8416. I briefly listened to one of my favorite 6922 tubes, Hamburg Valvo Red Labels from the early '60s. I like this tube's combination of body, clarity, and extension. Frankly, it soun... |
