| Machina Dynamica Judging by the number of sales, M D appears to be a very succesful little operation that has more than a few happy customers.During the great majority of our existence we thought the earth was flat, all while congratulating ourselves for how smart... | |
| Great guys to deal with in the audio industry Kevin Barrett at KAB. He is always willing to talk and share his experience. He has been very helpful to me over the years. | |
| Build a TT based set up for $5K The Traveler/ Ortofon 2m Black is a very musical combintion. I have been having a great time with this pair for the past 2 months. As far as the rest of your system, take a look at thishttp://odysseyaudio.com/odyssey-reviews.html You would benefit... | |
| VPI traveller vs Project rm5.1 vs second hand VPI? You had a much more detailed review of the Traveler, but I think we can both agree that it is a pretty solid turntable that really sounds good. | |
| revision of Traveler posted on VPI's site Looks like a different tonearm wire plug and the mat is different from what I have. | |
| SL1200 upgrade tonearm or replace cartridge? Johnny- Great looking table. Nothing left to do but add the SME tonearm. | |
| How important is the transport when using a DAC? We are dealing with "systems" and like all systems, they are only as good as the weakest component. The answer to your question is going to require listening and comparing different components in your system. The effort should give you what you ar... | |
| B&W 801N and Bryston match I've been to at least a dozen studios that powered 801's with Bryston's, but to each his own. What each of us hear and like is different but I've never heard them described as "sounds like hell". I have the second iteration of the 801 with the sea... | |

| B&W 801N and Bryston match I'm not sure about the 801n but the older 801's needed a pair of Bryston 4's to make them sing. I am listening to that set-up now. 500 watts to keep the bottom from getting flabby. They sure sound good together, lot's of horsepower though.The 801n... | |
| I feel like an idiot; lessons learned My experience has been that speaker placement has a tremendous impact on the overall sound. I have always been limited by existing spaces and not been able to always get the most out of speaker placement. I have to do the best I can within the con... | |
| Conrad Johnson MV60se amp paired with Bryston It all depends on what you are driving. I have 2 Bryston amps with a CJ Tube Preamp because I need the horsepower for my B&W 801. You probably have more efficient speakers therefore the great results. Your set up probably would not work well w... | |
| Any Alice Cooper fans? I had the pleasure of meeting him, his band and entourage after a concert in Boston. The party went on long into the morning at this place that was over by Fenway Park. He was a friendly and approachable guy- lots of fun. I think he was the only o... | |
| SL1200 upgrade tonearm or replace cartridge? I'm saying that I made the error of putting too much effort and modifications (and money) into a, relatively speaking, poor tonearm. Any of the aftermarket tonearms that the op mentioned will get you further up the food chain, by far, than any mod... | |
| SL1200 upgrade tonearm or replace cartridge? Don't forget that all the damping and wrapping come at a price. These are fixes to tame resonant frequencies, to move towards a more musical and less analytical presentation. I would love to put my 10' vpi tonearm from a Traveler on my KAB 1200 de... |
