| Corner Placement Mapman - I am with you, have always been intrigued by a setup like that. I love everytime I have heard one and it is totally opposite from my long term rig - Thiel speakers and a big powerful SS amp.I have also heard the MBL setup at the old UHA ... | |
| Corner Placement Mapman, sounds like an interesting experiment. I have always wondered about AN also, have heard them many times at the CAF and at Voodoo in VA and always enjoyed the immediacy in the presentation. As a younger audiophile I used to value soundstag... | |
| Why do you give bad advice? Wattsperchannel - I have been around here for a long time and you are not wrong. But I have also had many great experiences and advice and IMHO given some as well. We are on the worldwide webb and that is unpredictable. | |
| Recommendations for IC and speaker cable Nice system, congrats. I am a long time Thiel owner which offer challenges in the HF without careful system matching. I have had good luck with Kubala Sosna Fascination speaker cables. Great midrange and bass and in my system very nice HF exten... | |
| Advice on what preamp to select. +1 Matt Miller. I can vouch for the Dehavilland - I have had one in my rig for years. A great value for the sound! | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? I recently did a historical inventory of cables I have owned over the years, does not include ones I have borrowed from friends and the cable company. The number is 63! I was shocked and shared it with another audiophile friend and much to my su... | |
| Cartridge suggestion for Triplanar w/1:10/1:20 SUT I really like my transfiguration proteus. It is mounted on a vector 4 tonearm/basis 2200 table driving an allnic H3000. I had an Ortfon Jubliee before and felt the same as you, a little laid back but nice. I have heard the bronze many times at ... | |
| Phono cartridge Goldilocks I second the Transfiguration Proteus, have had one for about a year with a vector 4 tonearm and Basis 2200 table. I love it - haven’t heard the Benz but sounds like a winner also. | |
| Purist Audio Dealers I second Albert - great customer service and competitive pricing. | |
| Curious .. What is the compared price of your tt vs spkrs Inna, your rationale makes sense to me, especially the table and arm importance. For me, the most difficult choices are analog front end and especially speakers. I believe my dealer did me a favor years ago with my entry into analog getting me i... | |
| Curious .. What is the compared price of your tt vs spkrs My analog setup is roughly 250% of my speakers and cables. I do not subscribe to any theory other than the weakest link in the chain Jmcgrogan mentions. My speakers are Thiel CS6 which happened to be priced reasonable all things high end conside... | |
| Help returning an Allnic H1500 SE II phono stage Have you tried the importer or a US retailer? I am using the 3000 phono stage and retubed once. | |
| Cardas Clear Speaker Cables - From cable skeptic to beliver in one fell swoop JMC - priceless! And probably true. Maybe the Trenton NJ lottery winner will come forward - he will have just enough to wire up with MIT Oracles! | |
| Speaker Placement Congrats on your room, nothing like a dedicated room for 2 or multi channel! You mention your ceiling, what is it? Finished? Flat or are joists exposed? I find the floor and particularly the ceiling are the biggest problem with reflective sound... | |
| interconnect choice Nice job Matt! |
