| Bookshelf speaker for Stingray II? Thanks, Goldprintaudio. How would they do on their side? I don't know the gospel concerning horizontal placement of high-end monitors, having been a floorstander most of my days. Do you have a sense for consequent sonic effects?Bill | |
| Bookshelf speaker for Stingray II? Rich, when you tried the Spendor SA1, was the pair well run-in? I've been digging around. Apparently they have a very long break-in period. What did you dislike about them?Bill | |
| Bookshelf speaker for Stingray II? Thanks guys for good advice. I'll certainly wait to see what the Omegas can do with the Stingray. Their front ported is good for this placement. But I'm also interested in other possibilities, just in case. Those Spendors look interesting, being s... | |
| Do people buy MAC gear for the blue meters My meters stay off. This thread is pointless. | |
| Preamp question: Mcintosh c500t vs Einstein mk2 My serenity, like my polarity, is just fine, thanks. Gross generalizations with minimal substantiation call for skepticism, especially in a thread in which the OP asked for no such "enlightenment." | |
| Preamp question: Mcintosh c500t vs Einstein mk2 One data point implies "very frequently"? | |
| mcintosh c-2300 vs mcintosh c500 phono section Ontjesr, how would you characterize the sonic differences between the phono stages of the C2300 and C500t? How much of the difference do you think is a result of running the amp/preamp link truly balanced? In other words, can you compare single-en... | |
| Art Audio Vinyl Reference vs Maxxed Out K&K I don't think he's planning to discontinue the kits. I spoke to him a few weeks ago and he said he's actually planning to increase the options for the Maxxed Out by, if I understood him correctly, creating modular back panels that will allow custo... | |
| Ultralinear vs. Triode vs. SET Atmasphere, thank you very much for that clear and informative synopsis. Great stuff. | |
| Art Audio Vinyl Reference vs Maxxed Out K&K Kevin designed and builds the Vinyl References. He'll tell you the differences between it and the Maxxed Out. He is a straight shooter. | |
| SET the best? I have a system that includes a modded and fully tube-rolled 3-watt Moth s2A3 amp, Omega Grande 8R speakers, Von Schweikert subwoofer, tubed CDP, and all Jade wires. I also have a system that includes Mac 500-watt MC501 monoblocks, C2300 preamp, M... | |
| Orbe SE with Graham Phantom or Brinkmann 10.5 I believe the Phantom is a bit heavy for the Orbe. As I recall, arm plus armboard shouldn't exceed 1 kg for proper spring function. The Phantom is that by itself. FWIW, I ran a 2.2 with and Orbe SE for years and thought it a really nice match. | |
| Ortofon RS-309D opinions Thanks, Downunder. Interesting. As you say, more than one way to skin a cat. Maybe the Japanese Ortofon method is better, who knows. | |
| Ortofon RS-309D opinions What are you RS309D folks using as alignment protractors? I seriously considered buying one but was put off by its unusual geometry. I'm a big fan of arc protractors like Wallytractor and MintLP, which are apparently inappropriate for this arm. | |
| Need amp suggestion for PBN Montana EPS2. I should add, though, that the brightness you heard almost certainly was not the MC501. It errs in the other direction. I've heard people say the stock C2300 is bright, however. |
