| How to Increase Turntable Height on High WAF Rack Johnnyb53:Thanks for your comment. And I agree. IMHO, I found the Ayre/DPS overall to be pretty even with the top of the line SME and the top of the line Spiral Groove.The auditioning I did of the Ayre/DPS was with the standard tonearm that the Ay... | |
| How to Increase Turntable Height on High WAF Rack Srwooten:Bottom shelf is not an option for me. Because of other gear, too tight L-C-R, and because I will need a Gingko Claravu acrylic cover, not enough vertical clearance to lift and remove the cover.At this point I am leaning toward a wood-base... | |
| How to Increase Turntable Height on High WAF Rack Peterayer:Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately a wall shelf is not an option. There is no available wall space in this room for a turntable! Frankly, it is amazing to me that the room is sonically so good despite everything that is in the r... | |
| How to Increase Turntable Height on High WAF Rack I am still laughing at some of the comments, particularly from Markphd and Johnbrown! All comments thus far are truly appreciated, and being made to laugh is always a good thing! Let me assure you all that I would rather kneel to use the turntable... | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations under $5K Two new speakers I recently heard and loved are the Devore Fidelity Gibbon 3XLs (~ $4450) and the Verity Finn's ($5495). Superb speakers that are so new you probably won't see them yet on the used market.The Verity Finn's replaced Verity's excelle... | |
| Great old speakers that are as good as new ones I 2nd the Quad 57's and 63's, Altec 19's, and Alon IV's, and would add the mirror imaged Dahlquist DQ 10's, the DQ 20i's, and the JSE Infinite Slope's. | |
| Speakers and vacuum tube gear To Rsasso & Others:I have been a customer of Don Better (Don Better Audio, Cleveland, OH) for the past year. Don is a fabulous person to work with. He has allowed me to audition various combinations of gear (mine and/or his) at my home and his... | |
| Speakers and vacuum tube gear I agree completely with the comments from Bjesien that reflect how tube electronics work quite well with Verity speakers. I started out driving my Verity Fidelio Encores with a Mark Levinson 334. Although the results were quite good, I was not hea... | |
| Basis Ovation / 2500 vs Sota Cosmos IV I have the Basis 2500 with the Dynavector IV and Lyra Tital 1. It is very well made and sounds great - detailed and musical. And like all other great turntables, it will reveal any deficiencies downstream in one's system.Enjoy the process! | |
| Next step up from my Rega P3 I also highly recommend the Well Tempered Amadeus in your approximate price range. I first heard the Amadeus about 10 days ago at Don Better Audio in Cleveland. It significantly outperforms even the Rega P9. I also heard it A/B'd against the new A... | |
| Looking for High Efficiency Sat/sub System I just heard the new Devore Fidelity 3XL's without a sub-based system. When I first heard them, I was having a tough time reconciling their small size with the way they were so easily filling the room with sound, a room much larger than 15' x 18'.... | |
| Monitor with sub or Full Range Speakers Agree completely with Macd's comment, shared from REL, about REL subs used with speakers that do not go below 20hz. I use a REL B-2 with my Verity Fidelio Encores. Although I greatly enjoy the FE's even with the REL turned off, the combination of ... | |
| Best bookshelf speakers under $1,000 for NAD amps? I still have my Alon Petites in a system for our home gym. I originally used them with an NAD integrated (Sorry - don't remember the model number) in a medium-sized den and they were great - very dynamic and musical. Now using them with an all-Myr... | |
| Quality speakers that don't need tons of power Devore Fidelity - Gibbon 9s or even better, the Reference Silverbacks. | |
| What SS amps would work well with Shindo preamp? The Accuphase does not allow impedence input adjustments. I bought the Accuphase and the Shindo from the same dealer, who assured me that they were very compatible units. The pre-purchase demo in my system confirmed it. FWIW, in my experience, I h... |
