| Biggest impact on you? So difficult to pick one item, but I think it would be the Koetsu Rosewood Signature cartridge I had for 4 years. Really made vinyl come alive for me. Unfortunately, my current arm is a poor compliance match with Koetsu's, so I can't get another, ... | |
| Music Server VS Laptop Can anyone advise on Backup. For me, the main consideration is not to lose my treasured music on CD. If I do go the Music server PC route, I will get rid of my CDs. Is it possible to say there are differences in making Bit perfect backups with the... | |
| Recommendations on a power regenerator? I have used the Pure Power 1050 for several years. I have had no break down problems and it has made a real difference to my system. | |
| Lessloss DFPC Sig versus Shunyata CX and Nordost I have the origonal Lessloss and feel that significantly outperforms the Valhalla, in my system. Yes the Nordost is fast, transparent, but I find it dry and a bleached sound, lacking richness. I know you don't ask for other recommendations, but th... | |
| Importance of Power cords feeding Conditioners That seems to agree with what I found | |
| Review: Nordost QX4 AC filter I have just bought my unit and I have to agree with everything you said. My niggle is the cost. In fact, I waited to get one of the rare second hand units that come. The fact they don't come up much, attests to their benefit. I am afraid I really ... | |
| Importance of Power cords feeding Conditioners As promised, I checked a range of cords on my Pre Power APS 1050 regenerator. I picked up a Nordost Valhalla and Virtual Dynamics Master 3, quite cheaply, over the last couple of weeks; System used for test Leema Antilla CD Player Pathos Inpol2 in... | |
| Variations in how your system sounds? An interesting subject and I'm sure it is a true observation. I am not convinced it is physiological, I'm a physician too. Some days, you turn the system on and it just is'nt firing on all cylinders and yes, I do give it time to warm up. I am not ... | |
| Importance of Power cords feeding Conditioners Thanks for the replies. I have Lessloss, Sablon Audio and a Nordost Valhalla on it's way second hand. I will do some cable swapping | |
| What started you on your audiophile journey . Like most people, I had an interest in music, a basic record player. I did'nt know HiFi existed. I was working as a junior doctor, intern in US parlance and a colleague had a pretty good system, Linn SME based of course, being the UK in the late 7... | |
| Differences between various Quantum devices Well I found a QX4 second hand. They don't appear too often, which says something about whether they work. Well it certainly seems to, with greater clarity and a bigger soundstage. I still don't think they are worth the full retail cost. | |
| Black Raviolis I like them a lot and there are upgraded versions now with corian between them to improve performance. I use a range of footers for different purposes and carried out a recent shootout with my ears only, comparing with Stillpoints and HRS. I found... | |
| cable fast dynamic and transparant recommendation Just a reminder Milen007. Why don't you have the luxury of a home audition? Remember the cable company has a wide range of cables to lend from their library, give excellent advice and you can buy from their second hand cable collection. In my view... | |
| $2500 Phono Stage Suggestions Just an update on the K&K. I have just had the uogrades to bring my SE up to the current Maxxed out stage, fitted. Everyone else seems to have done it a year ago, but I'm slow on the uptake. To get the platitudes out the way, "My jaw dropped" ... | |
| anyone hear Leif Series or LS Nordost IC cables I was at the UK national audio show last weekend and attended the usual Nordost roadshow run by Lars. As well as demoing the QX4 and QV2, he concentrated on the new entry level Lief series, in particular the blue heaven and red dawn. I have used b... |
