| Nuforce v2: has anyone tried them I've had my 9SE V2's for about a week now. To my ears the V2 has more extended, tighter, and more articulate bass. It has better instrumental focus/clarity from top to bottom.It seems more transparent and detailed than the V1. And the highs are ai... | |
| Vacuum tubed tone control??? AMC CVT 1030S is a good low-cost tube preamp with tone controls. Click the link and scroll down for more info:http://www.amchome.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=AO&Category_Code=PreamplifiersOther than that, you could get ... | |
| I can't find the answer, JMW 9 tone arm cartridge I think you'd want the weight with lower compliance cartridges. When I owned the Shelter and used it in the Wilson Benesch arm it worked well without the weight.I'd go with a Benz-Micro Ace low output MC cartridge over either of your mentioned can... | |
| rock mkv Uktel,Yes, the ribbon tweeter is "fast" and is able to cleanly reproduce fast percussive transients. It's also quite airy when the recording contains that information. I think it's a very good tweeter.And I totally believe that the damping trough ... | |
| The best mini monitors you have heard? I'll have to add the Mark & Daniel Maximus Ruby and/or Sapphire to the mix. I heard the Ruby. It has a huge, dynamic, clean sound. You just won't believe the quality of the bass that comes out of that 5.5-inch woofer. These speakers are defini... | |
| rock mkv Uktel,Yes, my RM30's have the 10" side-mounted Mega-woofers, as my wife doesn't want me to put separate subwoofers in the room. The woofers get down strong to the 30Hz range, and that seems to work well for most music.I recently sent my NuForce Re... | |
| rock mkv I don't know... I think I'll stick with my Michell Orbe SE with Wilson Benesch arm and Benz Ebony L. I performed a great fixed suspension mod on my Michell and it sounds fantastic... detail, dynamics, slam, musicality, soundstaging, you name it!I'... | |
| Most resolving, transparent amps. Newbee,There is no way to tell how transparent a given amp may be without listening to it with familiar recordings (so you have some basis for comparison.If the amp is in an unfamiliar system you must consider the system as a whole. The sonic char... | |
| HBO copy protects it shows. 240zracer,I'm with you 100 percent. It's really obscene what HBO charges for their PPV Boxing Events. I really wanted to watch that De LaHoya - Mayweather bout, but I wasn't prepared to shell out $60 for the one-time privilege.I used to subscribe ... | |
| Most resolving, transparent amps. NuForce Reference 9SE gets my vote so far, and it's a very musically satisfying amp, as well. I'm having mine upgraded to the Version 2 model, which is supposed to be noticeably better... Hard to believe, but I guess I'll know in a couple of weeks! | |
| Does anyone play 78 Rpm records? If it doesn't sound properly balanced to you, then you probably don't have the correct RIAA EQ. Have you tried different records with different EQ settings?I just have a simple setup for playing 78's... an old Dual turntable with a Grado 78 mono c... | |
| Help needed recording vinyl to computer Probably the respective left and right channels of the phono cartridge have a slightly different output level. This is quite common. I can't believe there's not a way to balance the channels with the computer software, but you could always put the... | |
| townsend rock reference mkv Yes, it looks dandy, but it's a little out of my price range. I'm surprised they don't make a less expensive model anymore. | |
| townsend rock reference mkv Terry,I had the Mk-III Rock and liked it very much. The arm-damping trough was too cool and worked very well.But I can't find any info on the model you're talking about. How much does it cost, and is there a website that gives the specs and other ... | |
| PC audio is it the best next thing???? On second thought, I've been doing a bit of reading. It appears that Sony's Blu-Ray Disc might be the next best thing... It looks very promising as a hi-def format and should be backward compatible to play CD, DVD, SACD, and other current disc for... |
