| Nuvista M3 Ulrik, I don't know about the Nuvista, but the room you describe is probably no larger than 12 X 14 feet. In that small space, I would use compact speakers such as Harbeth. They work well in tight quarters and have wonderful musicality and tonal r... | |
| Stated as Thanks Kelly. I will borrow some "Goof Off" to remove the evidence. I hate it when it's obvious to my guests that the turntable has been compromised for the sake of cold cash. | |
| Stated as Jimbo. With that particular model turntable, a dime won't work, you must use a quarter. No.......... the expense never stops, once you step into this level of high end audio.By the way, does anyone have any tricks for removing the Scotch tape resi... | |
| Stated as If you guys were to look at this as only $25.00 per track for the 8 track, the amp and turntable are FREE !I am scrambling to bid on this for my Soundlab Ultimates. Just need to clear with the factory that this "ultimate" rig won't overdrive my sp... | |
| Quadraphonic Pressings Quadraphonic pressings contain specially encoded information intended for multi channel playback.These are inferior to traditional stereo pressings because the grooves contain out of phase information that is in conflict with two channel playback.... | |
| hopeless LP's My experiences are the same as Najo. I have a 20K turntable rig and I frequently buy LP's at used book stores for as little as .50 cents. I rarely have to resort to the trash can, even though I am a picky listener.With correct cleaning, then caref... | |
| direct drive tt's? I agree with everything Jimbo3 has posted, it is exactly the same advise I would give. Other than that, I recommend you look for a used Well Tempered turntable and arm when you upgrade. | |
| EARS versus SACD. Anything is possible within a diverse group of audiophiles. Some posters systems are extremely revealing and some are not. When you consider the above, and factor in the vast differences among red book CD players (not even considering the variatio... | |
| What tube amp for watt/puppy V.1's The routes you are considering are both viable and will provide the additional headroom necessary for Watt Puppy's. I would add to your search list the newest Wolcott Presence mono blocks. These have a new wide band coupling transformer, and are c... | |
| The first "audiophile"? I looked this up, and the word "audiophile" originated in 1951. The date coincides with the general publics awareness of the high fi revolution. The term "audiophile" was coined to refer to the poor creatures (like ourselves) who enjoy it to excess. | |
| Yamaha tuner repair suggestions? I know this sounds too obvious, but I would contact Yamaha and at least get a quote from them. One thing you can be sure of, your T-2 would get the correct parts and the factory certified calibrations that it was designed for when it was new. | |
| What's the Least You Could Live With? All used: McCormack preamp, Well Tempered turntable and arm, Phonomonon phono stage, Benz Glider, Sound Valves Mono blocks and Vandersteen 2Ce speakers. For cable, Purist Elementa. This system should go together for about what Garfish's totaled. I... | |
| Roger Waters... I own three copies of "Amused to Death," the two disc British LP that I play. Another identical sealed set as backup, and the US CD. For what it is worth, I agree with Kelly, the LP has so much more information, it sounds like a different recording. | |
| Eico 666 Tube Tester Data for 6922 and KT-90? This link will take you to Tannenbaums web site, where there are dozens of tester charts and rolls available. I think they have a complete chart for your machine, which gives data for every available tube for less than $30.00. http://www.agtannenb... | |
| more major players jumping on the sacd bandwagon Audiophile support alone will not keep the SACD format afloat, but Sony along with other important music producers (like this article points out), is making it more of a reality every day . I support it's success, and hope for its continued accept... |
