| Low end TT vs. Hi end CD Actually, I've seen an older thread around here, started by Psychicanimal in full provateur mode - championing the 1200 to the skies - with Twl bashing it to the depths...(I either fall somewhere in the middle, can't hear worth a damn, or am bliss... | |
| The Color Of Vinyl I can say that I have seen impurities inside clear vinyl records, and doubt the better quality theory. I have never owned the same record in two different colors, so I won't try to offer any observations about alsolute sound quality. Since a choic... | |
| BAT VK-20 vs BAT VK-40 vs ML 380S I am also considering these brands of preamp. Lordgorian, would you mind getting more specific? Thanks, Z. | |
| Where is the best place to store electronic parts? Not to get entirely off your subject here, but which VTL's do you have, what mods have you done to them, and with what results? | |
| Integrated: SS or Tube? I basically agree with the previous posters, but just wanted to add that the BAT is tubed in the preamp section only, not the power amp section. | |
| Spades and Cabasse speaker terminals I'm having a hard time envisioning what the posts and nuts on the Cabasse look like, but is there a split or hole in the post large enough to fit just one of the spade's tines into, rather than trying to get the whole spade around the post? If so,... | |
| Real Standup Men Audiogon Members to the Rescue A heartwarming story for sure. I do hope you get your stolen goods back, particularly the prototype - that must be quite a setback to have lost. Very best of luck. I'm sure your misfortune will at least serve as a valuable lesson for all other exh... | |
| Why are Infinities the Rodney Dangerfields of spe Nice post by Plugged/Sound Broker. In addition to what he said, I will add that when the shop I used work at during the early/mid 90's added the Kappas as a lower priced line, I thought they plainly sucked compared to other things we had at the sa... | |
| Setting VTA on a new Shelter 901? The breakup on crescendos sounds like existing record wear from previous mistracking damage - electrical input overloading distortion would be very unlikely, for either a phonostage or a preamp partnered with one - but make sure you're not trackin... | |
| Anemic Musical Fidelity A300 Don't know about your amp in particular, but FWIW I have had an experience buying an MF demo piece from AA and having it show up with an operational defect (which I returned for AA to fix themselves, but they didn't succeed and I had to do it myse... | |
| Running a cdplayer directy to an amp impedence q Herman - I would hope the digital output (S/PDIF) is 75 ohms to match the standard. | |
| Question for Velvet Underground fans Gee, was that a computer animated 'John Cale', or something on the soundtrack? ;^) | |
| VTL Service ?? Hi Steve: Just let me add that I haven't had any issues with the reliability of the MB-185 Sig's themselves, just the now-replaced and amperage-uprated fuses (which are uprated for better performance [amperage-wise] and protection [voltage-wise, w... | |
| Criminy, I've reached 300 threads Must've been the brain-food you eat, huh? ;^) | |
| Criminy, I've reached 300 threads Um, I hate to have to ask this Glen, but you *are* saying that having engaged in one hundred Audiogon transactions is a *good* thing? |
