| Grace F9 F8 F-9 F-8 Andante F9 F-9 H S Sumiko Pearl Supex Phono Stylus GAS Sleeping Beauty I should have known to suspect the history of Grace as told to me by a factory sales rep for Supex. Oh Well, I have looked dumb before and it will certainly happen again. I do stand by my assertion that there is exactly one Grace F-9. On... | |
| Bass is not enough !!! Speaker problem? Speaker cable? Power Amp? PC of Power Amp? I use a separate amp and preamp to power my subs, It works great. The two systems are matched and the subs are time aligned, using a ruler, with my B&W's. I recently had to use a different preamp for a while, and my bass got really muddy, desp... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I am sorry, but I stopped reading when you said your MC hummed. Mine doesn't. Get better equipment. I you correct this statement, then good.BTW, a friend has a Grace F-9 Ruby, and it is fine. I could live with it. | |
| Suspensions on turntable...really effective? On my wooden floored chalet in Tennessee, my suspended Ariston TT sounds best. Here on my South Florida wood covered concrete floor, my chunk of bathroom sink matching fake marble Kenwood sounds fine.Both have extra motor/platter/tonearm isolation... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I liked this post so much that I saved it under favorites, but only after I went to ebay and bought three mentioned albums.Many jazz snobs think he is a pariah, and no one mentioned him, but Maynard Ferguson made some good music. One album no one ... | |
| New Member Needs Help I have tried Adcom and was quite disappointed. Nelson Pass is a great designer, so it might be the preamp. A similar company, Rotel made preamp/tuner combos, and the ones I tried were terrible, much worse than the Adcom I had for a while. It even ... | |
| Why do people that are Into rap and hip-hop even want a high-end audio system Solely for the thumpity-thump, IMHO. Rap might not exist if we had not quit funding music appreciation in our schools. Bit what do I know? | |
| If you won the power ball tomorrow night would you I am frugal:1- Re-tip my Supex through SoundSmith. Find an Audire Class A amp or two, eventually; otherwise, go to Audio Research. Buy back my beautiful KT-917 or equivalent. Keep B&K tuner. Upgrade B&W 803's with 802's. Build perfect sub ... | |
| Are marantz power amps any good? I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised how good a Marantz 125 wpc receiver sounded on some B&W DM 14's I sold a guy. | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? Congratulations on the Bryston and Thiels. My Buddy has that amp and the matching preamp. I have Audire and they are certainly comparable.eBay currently has an Audire Legato or $175. I don't know of any other brand that compares with this preamp ... | |
| Grace F9 F8 F-9 F-8 Andante F9 F-9 H S Sumiko Pearl Supex Phono Stylus GAS Sleeping Beauty I made a confusing grammatical error above. "Many of my customers say it (my stylus) sounds better, but I know it (their F-9) is worn" refers to the F9. "My spherical sounds better than their worn F-9" is what I was trying to say. | |

| Review: Acoustat Trans Nova Twin 200 Amplifier I have had Acoustat 1100s for about 20 years. I also use B&Ws. No one ever mentions what I consider to be perfect amps for the Acoustats, Audire. I have three Audire Fortes (Two biamping the Acoustats (Peerless woofers) plus one for the subs (... |
