| Is the Townshend Rock 7 "the" giant killer? I think I am going to have to try out the Rock 7 at some point. | |
| My turntable hates Cat Stevens it's nothing to do with you. I have the exact same thing and I thought it was a known fact that some of the vocals on this album where a bit hot? | |
| The usual suspects: S1, Cirrus, Tempesta, MMM1 "you must have the stands because the x-over is stuffed into the base of the stand"Incorrect. My Cirrus have the x-over in a separate compartment at the bottom of the speaker and I use my own stands. | |
| The usual suspects: S1, Cirrus, Tempesta, MMM1 "I haven't heard the Cirrus, but a Cirrus owner has been here and heard my Tempestas. He was a bit embarrassed to admit the Tmepestas were notably better"Really? I find it hard to believe there would be this level of difference, no matter which on... | |
| Got my Berlin Mini's today Djanggo - exactly. | |
| Got my Berlin Mini's today how come there is no completed listing on ebay anytime recently for a pair of these? I wanted to see which ones you got. | |
| Zesto Andros PS-1 Tubes Pops, you make no sense. | |
| Zesto Andros PS-1 Tubes I've mentioned this to Cfluxa already, but I've compared the stock JJ ECC83s with the JJ ECC803s and heard very little to no difference. I liked the sound of the Gold Lions in my Chinook and wouldn't mind trying those in the Zesto. Smatsui, did yo... | |
| Most important vinyl component to upgrade first ? 3/4, 1, 5, 2 | |
| Turntable setup under $2000? You could get a Well Tempered Simplex with a Denon 103R for $2300 and I'm confident it would trounce those other tables you tried. People give me grief for it, but when I had my fully tricked out Rega P5 "harsh" is exactly how I described it. It's... | |
| Rega P5 w/Denon 103R what should I upgrade to? your cart is capable of amazing things, that is not the source of your problem. I would look into getting a better table as a starting point. | |
| phono pre suggestions I wouldn't worry about two volume controls possibly down the road, but running a phono pre direct to your amp is a whole nother world. you need to have a higher gain amp and the impedances matching well for it to work properly. The Manley is far m... | |
| phono pre suggestions I've had the 834P and the Chinook, there's no comparison, Chinook all the way. It's great for rock. There's a used one now for $1795 OBO on the site now. I'd grab that in a second and you won't have a need to upgrade later. | |
| Preamp - 18 dB Gain too low? my 845 amp is very high, 200mv. I wonder if I am losing any performance since my volume is at 9pm for normal listening. it sure sounds good though despite the touchy volume control. the manufacturer said I could swap out two resistors to make it l... | |
| Denon 103 output--Step-up needed? you should have 60-65db, what does your phono stage have? |
