| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... After reading through this thread I was surprised to see that @pani was so fickle in dumping the Art 9 after being so enthusiastic. I'm using a Lundahl LL1941 SUT on 1:32 setting with my Art 9 - which gives a 46ohm reflected resistance to the cart... | |
| Harbeth speakers vs Audionote 02-17-15: Larryi .The Harbeths have a tighter, more accurate bass response and deliver a reasonably detailed and lively sound while being on the warmer side compared to many current speaker designs. My only big "issue" with the sound is that ther... | |
| as if the KL Audio Ultra Sonic was not enough 01-23-15: MofimadnessI've seen this personally in action. It works really well. Wish I had the funds to buy it.Me too. That's getting close to $7K including the actual cleaner.I think my next cleaner will be something like the Utrasonic Records V8... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Ddraudt, for my part I didn't mean to convey negativity (not sure if CalvinJ is taking aim at me?) - I'm genuinely interested in the principles at work here. Hopefully if there is some 'breakthrough' involved with the HF cables, there will be a wa... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz 01-14-15: Ddraudt.......Part of the scientific explanation would include quantum spin dipole movement of electrons plus electromagnetic theory at the atomic level.I imagine peoples eyes glazing over at this point....An excerpt of the simpler expli... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz 01-11-15: Ddraudt.......Magnetic conduction pushes and pulls the electrons along AND tightens the electron flow toward the center of the conductor.How? This may be beyond the scope of this discussion, but can anyone with a scientific bent explain ... | |
| How good are the Rega RP6 RCAconnectors? I don't know about the Rega or Furutech 126 connectors, but I was amazed at the improvement in sound when I substituted Eichmann bullet plugs on my Silver Audio phono cable. The bullet plugs were the fairly low cost copper/gold plated version and ... | |
| Phono Preamp? Looking at the internal photo of your amp it appears you already have a phono stage with 'guts' similar to most $1K (or more) external units. I wouldn't under-rate what you have.I've got plugin phono cards for my Rowland preamp which offer outrage... | |
| Windfield Cartridge Mulveling, I have not heard the Cadenza Bronze but by all accounts it is a fine, essentially neutral, cartridge with a dash of warmth. If the Bronze seems ideal to you in your system, then perhaps the Black would be less ideal.I didn't found the J... | |
| Windfield Cartridge 12-29-14: PopsThanks David, I have many years of enjoyment with the Jubilee, once I work out a couple of system changes the cartridge will be next. I have used the jubilee almost a lifetime in audiophile years!Pops, I've had 2 Jubilee's and rate i... | |
| Upgrade from Harbeth Compact 7 47ghibli, what about just adding a subwoofer to your C7's? .might be the most cost effective option and you retain the Harbeth midrange.I owned the C7's for a couple of years before moving on to the Harbeth M30.1's - absolutely love them. Bottom o... | |
| Pass Labs Xs preamplifier VS. XP-30 The Anthony Cordesman TAS review compares the XS to XP-30.He concludes its better. But in my reading of the review, it seems you're paying a lot of $'s for that last 1% of improvement.http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/pass-xs-preamp-and-xs-... | |
| Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ? 07-21-14: MilpaiI will keep the unit on for the whole night and see if that makes a difference. I am not sure if that extra circuit for the "BP" in the JC-2 is making it sound different than what the reviews for the standard JC-2 says.There isn't ... | |
| Ortofon Cadenza Bronze, Blue, Black I recently purchased the Black to replace to replace my heavily used Jubilee. The Black is outstanding on all types of music. I posted a short review here. | |
| denon 103/wood, benz glider, AT ptg33, or AK audio I know the AT PTG-II has a lot of fans, but I never really warmed to it in my system. I also tried the AT OC9-II - which sounded similar to the PTG in many ways, though perhaps not as well balanced. The sticking point for me with the AT cartridges... |
