| Turntable or go into SACD, Simon Yorke vs EMM Lab Dear Dgad, This is just my take on your question and maybe I am wrong but here goes; I would buy a great SACD player that can double as a top notch CD player. If the SACD format takes a dump AKA Sony Beta , you still have a great CD player that pl... | |
| JPS ultraconductor vs. acoustic zen epoch, help I use the JPS Ultraconductor speaker cables in a biwire configuration. They work well in combination with B&K amps and B&W N 805 speakers. I use them in 20 foot runs and the only problem I have noticed is that they are difficult to drive e... | |
| Need a step up transformer and DC power supply Thank you both for the advice . I like the idea of a tubed step up transformer but I forgot about Bent Audio as a source for S&B transformers. If this SOLO turns out to be less than great maybe I can modify it with a S&B 103. The origin up... | |
| Moderately priced interconnect for McCormack amp Dear Swingman, I have 2 pairs of Audioquest Quartz interconnects not in use. Your welcome to barrow them. One pair is 2 meter RCA and the other is 1.5 meter XLR. As long as you pay shipping you can keep them for a few weeks and see how they work i... | |
| Verdict on Pure Note, Ridge Street w solid state ? Dear Darrylhifi, I used the Stealth UR silver ribbons for awhile and found them to be exceptional with both tube and solid state amps. Considering the price I paid at auction they were the deal of the century for me. I recently sold them for about... | |
| Teres update Dear Jphii, Lets do it then. I think the cabinet you have will be perfect. I had some of the same problems that you describe. Fitting the turntable into the cabinet was very difficult for me because my wife did not want it cut up in any way. The c... | |
| Teres update Dear Jphii, I would like to help and maybe pick up a few tips from the rest of the members. I built my Teres turntable from my own design [ a take off of the Clearaudio Master Reference] and used a Teres platter, bearing and motor. I built the tur... | |
| Album which you have listened to most? Steely Dan: Two Against Nature almost worn out after just a couple of years. Dire Straits : Love Over Gold Telegraph road side. I can listen to these guys all night. Al Stewert: Year Of The Cat. The MF vinyl for this one is best. Traffic: Low Spar... | |
| The Thor TPA 150 Monoblocks are incredible It sounds to me like he found the missing link in his system. Great things last ; if you still have them in 10 years then they are great. Just my humble opinion though. I do know what you mean when you just find that majic combo. Dredster | |
| Best Speaker Cable 20 Foot Pair Dear Kjl, The only way not to get burned is to try the cables you like before buying. The only real choice you have is The Cable Co. The selection will be limited at these lengths but they do have some. I auditioned Cardas, Nirvana and Purist from... | |
| Sub sugestions for B&W CDM-9NT? Dear Horn blower, Nice setup but I am bias since mine is similar. I have B&W 805's , B&K amps, and Theta electronics. A sub is a must have for great home theater movies and DVD music. I bought the Rel Stadium after trying all different mod... | |
| Does tubed gear make your speakers hum/buzz? Hi Meech33, Welcome to the world of tubes. This is normal and if your willing to spend the time and money you can get rid of it. The first thing to do is move it further away from the rest of your gear, then check all the connections and tighten t... | |
| Wanna know how noisy your AC is ? Dear Sean, I have always thought this forum is the great place for not only information but lending unused equipment to others. I am sure each of us has a box full of unused cables ,connectors, and equipment that just sits . I would like to take y... | |
| Review: Marigo Audio Labs Apparition 5.6 Signature BNC-BNC Interconnect Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts on the Marigo digital cable. I was on the fence with this one. I have to say these the ugliest cables in my system but it gave me satisfaction knowing my money was spent on performance a... | |
| Help. What phono preamp to buy? Hi, I use the Herron with a Clearaudio Sigma cartridge but instead of a preamp I use a seperate transformer volume control. The Herron has plenty of output without needing a seperate step up transformer . The transformer volume controller does pro... |
