| LP Heaven This is exactly why I have a high end turntable and a stock Sony 9000. I put my money where it would return the most performance. | |
| MC Transformer or phono stage - help anyone? Your comment: "I am happy with the sound.... I notice the bass to be a bit weak particularly lower notes."The Benz cartridge VTA should be set with the rear slightly lower. This can have a big impact on bass performance. Also, you likely have it l... | |
| Let's forget about being politically correct Sean, I could have re tubed my amps in the time it took you to write that post :^).What is important to me is the sound, regardless of maintenance. Having spent more than thirteen years in retail audio followed by a stint as factory rep., I have h... | |
| Who uses long interconnect like in dealers? The run between my tube preamp and tube amps are kept short. Only 38 feet, and single ended ;^ ).Most visitors comment that my tonal balance, resolution and high frequency extension is extraordinary. I don't think the length of interconnect is the... | |
| Dealer's demo recordings I often find demo material boring. Some dealers and even manufacturers choose software that shows off the equipment, but musically is not very inspiring. On the occasion where popular music becomes "the" chosen demo material, it gets played to dea... | |
| strobe light question David, for almost no cost find an LP with speed bars. The M&K Realtime Direct to Disc and many audio "test" discs have this imprinted on the record label. A small neon night light from Radio Shack works perfectly as a strobe source.I used this... | |
| Have anyone pics and tech-data for a SU-1 step-up? Frank, I am sorry for what happened to you. I don't know the details but can see you are extremely frustrated. I hope things get better for you. | |
| Let's forget about being politically correct Where is TWL's post in this thread? | |
| Audio Artistry Beethoven - heard it? Muralman1, that's why there are choices. I could not own the Scintilla, especially after hearing Soundlab. The Quads are error by omission. Not the bandwidth of Scintilla or Soundlab, but what they do, they do nearly perfect. | |
| Audio Artistry Beethoven - heard it? I heard a demo of them at CES several years ago and to this day consider the Beethoven among the best speakers I've ever heard. I was shocked at the price then, I wonder what they sell for now?As for comparing them to Apogee Scintilla, that is no ... | |
| Keith Jarrett recommendation Correct Ken, "Closeness" Duets is a Hayden album. Unfortunately I tend to think in terms of the artists being discussed and when Keith Jarrett was brought up, this was the LP that flashed in my mind. ( I absolutely LOVE it.)"Golden Number" is anot... | |
| Running balanced. Difference between XLR vs. RCA. I'm not certain that posts here are directed at my comments about "true balanced." To clarify, pasted below are manufacturers comments that explain the issue I have in mind.Balanced or TRUE balanced?"Quite a few high end audio manufacturers have b... | |
| New batch of Albert Porter's cryo treated Hubbells I received payment from three additional members today bringing the total to 42 Hubbell outlets. Anyone wishing to participate should act before we reach the 50 required pieces.I will NOT be able to add to this order once it is closed out. This is... | |
| Mail Boxes Etc. now to be called the UPS Store Maybe paying UPS to pack AND ship will resolve claims issues over broken stuff. You know, where they use the old excuse that the "customer" failed to pack the item properly? | |
| Keith Jarrett recommendation I just found a mint copy of Keith Jarrett "Staircase" at GEMM. I looked at AMG to be certain I had the correct title and the review there almost caused me to cancel the order. In this case I'll take the opinion of a fellow Audiogon member. http://... |
