| Seeking advice on several specific MC Step Up Transformers I am in nowhere man's land with you. When it comes to SUT's, the often used BLACK ART phrase is pretty accurate. There are some who delve a bit deeper in to specs and matching... Dave Slagle and Bob Sattin come to mind. The A23 units are also an o... | |
| My Personal Gift The Luxman PD-171 A Turntable. Thanks luxmancl38. I enjoy it, and feel very fortunate to have it. The Kuzma tonearms seem to have quite a following. The tables however, seem to get overlooked in the US. I've seen so many threads that mention Brinkmann, AMG, TW... but somehow no... | |
| My Personal Gift The Luxman PD-171 A Turntable. Kuzma Stabi Ref 2... Kuzma Ref 313 VTA. | |
| My Personal Gift The Luxman PD-171 A Turntable. You may want to consider an Air Tight PC-7. That's a gorgeous table. I've heard it, and was truly impressed. Congrats. I should mention my PC-7 is not quite broken in, but it's quite a cartridge. | |
| Thoughts on the EAT C series tables Always appreciate your input Sir.... Thank You! | |
| Thoughts on the EAT C series tables no romance-It does everything better than the Amadeus, as well as it should for 4X the price. I find the Amadeus has a lively sound, with a nice 3D presentation. It certainly doesn’t sound like a big table though. That feeling of deep effortless b... | |
| New speakers? No thanks. Hmmm- I heard there aren't many sources to get wasted in Seattle. Good luck anyway though. | |
| Harbeth with Croft phono integrated vs Yamaha AS1100/AS2100 freediver- the Croft/P3’s are my second system, which I tend to use at times when I don’t want to fire up my main system...often for short listening sessions. Of course, it sounds good enough to where I end up listening for hours. To be honest, I ... | |
| Thoughts on the EAT C series tables Have you tried an SUT in to the Monbrison. The Orpheus is supposed to be a wonderful cartridge... I tried several SUT's, and direct in to a Monbrison when I owned it. This was using a Koetsu, so my opinion should be taken with extra grains of salt... | |
| Thoughts on the EAT C series tables I never did get to hear the EAT. I ended up with the Kuzma Ref 2, which while a stretch of my price range, has been a great purchase. I went with the Kuzma Ref 313 Gimbal arm. I still have an Amadeus Mk 1, which I use in a small (room) setup with... | |
| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... prof... let me know if you hit upon anything special. Lately I'm really digging Tom Petty: Full Moon Fever, with Future Disk stamped in dead wax. Cheers -Don | |
| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... "Uh. Great. I'll listen to music, thanks very much. "Agree 100%...To a speaker that is capable of showing how an amp with special qualities can shine. IMHO, the Harbeth's easily qualify. Cheers -Don | |
| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... The Harbeth's are a good enough speaker to easily decipher the difference between entry level and a $2,000 integrated. If he suggests otherwise, he is selling the speaker short. Cheers -Don | |
| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... I was also wondering which post inspired the rant, but I agree with jethro1964. I own and enjoy Harbeths, but I simply can't understand why Mr. Shaw sidesteps the amplification thing. To say any well designed amp over 50 (or whatever) watts will g... | |
| AIR TIGHT PC-7 with Shindo preamp. Thanks Vortrex... I have heard that when using an A23 Step Up in to a Shindo preamp, that the cartridge sees a 300 Ohm load. I have no way to confirm this, but it looks like I may be in pretty good shape for the PC-7. |
