| Whats playing on your system today? I’m a big fan of classic rock too. Trower Bolin Montreal Satriani new Bonamassa LP great listen to “Drive”. If you want to give your system a SQ workout, with some newer tunes listen to Bob Moses “tearing me up” and “no sanctuary” by Marion Herzo... | |
| Help ! Best MC cartridge for Linn LP12? I've had people that know analog (and I trust) tell me the 15,000 I have in my LP12 could have been spent with better results. Like Bart, I have a great digital side and I don't get the same emotion from my vinyl. And I think I should. Hence the ... | |
| Help ! Best MC cartridge for Linn LP12? I will for sure. The local Linn also sells Lyra and AR so I could ask them to set up an LP 12 w a Skala and AR phono pre. Ideally get it Demo'd on my system. What do think about used AR equipment? Certainly seems to have some availability in the... | |
| Help ! Best MC cartridge for Linn LP12? Everyone, the suggestions are excellent. To address some specifically:1. Vibration/ footfall- a HUGE problem I discussed in previous posting. Resolved by ripping out floor under equipment & pouring 12'x 8' x 5 deep concrete slab. Ran separate ... | |
| Help ! Best MC cartridge for Linn LP12? Thanks Davey. I felt like mating to the arm was my first step- weight etc. I know dynavector XV 1-T/S supposely work well, as do The Delos, Skala,Etna etc. I was hoping someone could expand that list a little. Koetsu ? AirTight? Clear audio? As I ... | |
| Help ! Best MC cartridge for Linn LP12? Thanks. I have considered scrapping the LP12 and moving on. I drank the Linn Kool Aid and I'm still trying to improve it. I hate losing money on the rig. For you other guys, maybe I didn't phrase my question perfectly enough for you. The first thi... | |
| Acoustic treatment for side glass doors / please, need ideas. In my listening room I have 8' sliding door on left side, 3' x 6' window directly behind equipment and 4' x 6'8" doors on right. My first approach was the Marigo Window treatment on all. That took a noticeable bite out of the muddiness/bounce I wa... | |
| When did good gear start getting your attention? In the mid 60's my uncle had a Mac receiver and tube amp pushing some big Frazier speakers. He had a Garrard TT and I'd take my Beatles & Stones albums over to listen. I was never the same. I worked all summer to buy an AR TT, and Marantz 227... | |
| Linn Krystal cartridge I have one. Bought it about a year ago when I upgraded Project arm to EKOS SE. I previously used an Adikt MM on the Project arm. I have Keel, Radikal, Tramp. I bought the Krystal after demo on another similarly equipped LP12. There's no comparis... | |
| Who is the WORST Audio Shop? Calvinj. Agree w comments about Dallas stores and I probably know the one you refer to. One guy in particular is pretty arrogant. I was talking price about some speakers and he told me to my face that because I drive the car I drive, I shouldn't ... | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation I'm a big rock fan also, e g Pantera, Metallica & classic hard rock. When I listen loud, I want speakers with punch. Started with mac2350 and klipschhorns 6+ years ago. The WAF never extended to the big corner horns. So I started looking/list... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso Signature I'm all in on Aesthetix. I want the best sound for my ear, but I don't want to go through the brain damage and expense of buying and selling (at a loss) in the search. My dealer handles many brands and he lets me demo equipment at home for extende... | |
| Phono/preamp/amp chain. One of them tube the others SS. Which one? If the discussion is still open, where would a hybrid phono stage fit in the equation? The phono stage is prob my next move and I have SS pre running into a hybrid amp. Could one expect clean lows with tube warmth? | |
| Would you go all 1 brand for electronics? For my ear and my desire for fewer knobs etc my preference is Aesthetix for 1 stack. I'm almost there. Have atlas eclipse amp and Romulus sig cd/dac. Currently run Mac C52 but and soon to upgrade to calypso rhea sig or eclipse. Want to hear new Me... |
