| Fear and Loathing in the Audiophile community. Funny and real Excellent article. This should be required reading, particularly now. ;) Thanks for sharing! | |
| Nagaoka MP-150 vs MP-200 @ Nandric I appreciate you took the time to reply. When I messaged you I asked of your opinions about the Signets, as Chakster said you were very familiar with them. Your reply was that you had some for sale, though didn’t mention any pricing. If ... | |
| Nagaoka MP-150 vs MP-200 Thanks to all that shared their experience. I realize the only sure way to evaluate is to try in my system, but since I don’t have a removable head shell, it’s kind of a PITA to set up the carts properly multiple times. As mentioned, my longtime c... | |
| Nagaoka MP-150 vs MP-200 Scott, thanks for the link. Just trying to figure where I'll get the most improvement for the next $ I spend, since my budget is currently limited. Under consideration are the MP-200 stylus or upgraded NOS preamp tubes. :) | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? @ larsman I've had the same experience. Having recently upgraded my analog end, I find vinyl to be my preferred source for listening. | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? p.s. regarding output... I don't know if my Blackhawk clips at the same spl as my 100 wpc ss amp, but even if it does it still sounds better! | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? @millercarbon. Congratulations, I am continually pleased with my Blackhawk. Though power output was initially a concern, it outputs 80-85 db spl at 10-11 o’clock volume setting with my 90 db sensitivity speakers (which is the same setting and outp... | |
| Who here has a Raven amplifier and what speakers do you have paired with it I have a Blackhawk MK3 paired with Von Schweikert VR-33's, and am continually impressed with how lifelike they sound together. I get sound levels of 80-85 db with the volume control at 10-11 o'clock with my speakers 90db sensitivity. | |
| My experience with bi-wiring Fortunately I wasn’t running real expensive cable, so the investment for another set wasn’t too dear, and was worth the improvement. I’m very happy with my speakers, and if Albert said I should bi-wire, who am I to argue? ;) | |
| My experience with bi-wiring I did run the same length of the same wire (Audioquest) for both sets. The difference might be partially or even wholly due to the increase in effective awg. Having just invested in a new turntable and cartridge, I’ll just enjoy the current improv... | |
| My experience with bi-wiring Nonoise, out of curiosity what cables did you wind up with? | |
| turntable upgrade? Postscript: I broke down and got a Mofi Studiodeck and Naga MP-150. ;) | |
| My experience with bi-wiring I'm using Von Schweikert VR-33's and a Raven Blackhawk. I'm truly of the opinion that bi-wiring may OR may not make a positive difference, it's system dependent and you will only know if you try yourself. | |
| turntable upgrade? That looks nice. Funny how Thorens doesn't usually get mentioned much these days for new turntables. | |
| turntable upgrade? I considered the Sol, but it is not currently offered for sale and I have read that it may be discontinued due to supply issues. |
