| Well Tempered Amadeus vs TW Acustic Raven One The quality of the bass that everyone speaks of is the major difference and there is better separation of instruments, definitely bigger dynamics, and more detail. I guess you need to hear them to get the full picture, it's a different presentatio... | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus vs TW Acustic Raven One Exactly, the 103R/Rock 7 combo is quite a bit better than the XX2/GTA combo. | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus vs TW Acustic Raven One I have a cheapo 103R on the Rock 7 and a XX2 on the Amadeus GTA. The Rock 7 is significantly better in my opinion, shockingly better. Believe me, I wanted to hate my Rock 7 for various reasons, but it is truly incredible! | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus vs TW Acustic Raven One That's interesting. I just moved from a GTA to a Rock 7 with Helius arm and the difference was pretty profound. I don't disagree that the phono stage matters, but in my experiences I put the order of importance at table/arm - phono pre - cart - ca... | |
| Gyrodec vs Well Tempered Amadeus No_regrets - No I haven't, yet to hear the Raven myself.I think the GTA is an amazing table. It thoroughly beat my previous VPI Classic in every regard. For something to sound this good with the fixed cart mount and simplistic design is nothing sh... | |
| Gyrodec vs Well Tempered Amadeus I just moved from a GTA to a Rock 7 with a Helius arm and my initial impression is the GTA doesn't do anything better than the Townshend. This is coming from a Well Tempered fan too. | |
| Primaluna Dialogue One or Line Magnetic 218IA? Dbarger - can you compare the 218 and 518? I've got the 218 now and really like it. | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus owners now that is hilarious. even my own handmade belt is fine once it gets out of my place! it's a total mystery that I cannot figure out. I never even touch the thread once it's on the 33 pulley. I'm due for a break in the next week.the GTA does every... | |
| HELP PICKING NEW TURNTABLE bad choice. | |
| Anyone try EMT TSD15 with K&K? keep in mind the K&K/A23 combo will be 64db of gain at the lowest setting. | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus owners that's amazing how you can have the same belt for 3 years. I am pretty consistent about breaking a belt every few weeks and I probably only listen for 10hrs a week. I've had 3 different Amadeus too, so I know it is not the table. I've had factory ... | |
| Phono interconnect under $500 used I've had the Tricon, the connectors are awful and wonky ground leads!I just got the Furutech ($500 new) and it has great connectors with reasonable ground leads. it sounds very good, possibly better than the Tricon. | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus owners Also, I would like to say my Chinese amp has better fit n finish and build quality than any piece of Made in the USA/UK gear I have had. | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus owners I seem to be the only person in the world who breaks a belt every 3 weeks. That is my only complaint. If you get a GTA, the quality of the plinth is way better than the standard Amadeus. | |
| The usual suspects: S1, Cirrus, Tempesta, MMM1 I have the Cirrus and Tempesta now. the Tempesta only have a week on them at the moment and the Cirrus have about 300hrs. the Tempesta may have a bigger bottom end (more, not necessarily deeper) and I think the midrange is a bit more detailed. you... |
