| I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible How about that Nordost Odin 2 speaker cable? A 3 meter pair for a mere $23,000! Marked down from list of $46,000! No doubt that somebody somewhere will buy it! | |
| Nad M3 non repairable Shame and a Pox on NAD! I am presently listening to my 1977 Son of Ampzilla! Still in daily use and sounding mighty fine on the DCM Time Windows! | |
| What is your listening chair? A replica of the Sing Sing electric chair "Old Sparky"! | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Thomas Edison would have had a good laugh at the remarks of the "golden ears" crowd - AND HE WAS DEAF! | |
| Best DIY power cable. Why not make? I am waiting for some Vibranium wire from Wakanda! | |
| Anyone have a schematic for a PS Audio IVH preamp? A great preamp (and well worth fixing)! I have two - but am missing the outboard power supplies, alas ... | |
| Jeff Rowland model two sounding thin With Mini Utopia What you are hearing with the Rowland connected to the Mini's is the REAL sound! And if you don't like it, sell them and get something else! But keep the Rowland (great amp!). | |
| Jeff Rowland model two sounding thin With Mini Utopia The Rowland is, by far, the BETTER amp! Tube amps with their high output impedances act as "tone controls" and are NOT accurate (contrary to what the "golden ears" crowd says!). So burn me at the Stake for heresy! And I am a tube amp owner for 4... | |
| Jeff Rowland model two sounding thin With Mini Utopia The BAT VK60 has an output impedance over 1 ohm (or higher!). So it will act as a tone control when following ANY speaker's impedance curve! OHM's LAW! The Rowland amp has an output impedance BELOW 1 ohm - so it will have a FLAT (neutral) respons... | |
| Best Cartridge Shure V15mk5 MR! A world-class mm cartridge that works best with a low-mass arm! I own one (and will not part with it!). My tonearm of choice is the Grace 707. | |
| Recievers, Pre amps and amps. +1 oregonpapa! Nice looking and a reasonable price! | |
| Tonearm Advice Needed Regarding speakers: the venerable Quad ESL 57 is STILL a world-beater! I myself have two pairs awaiting setup (bought my first pair in 1981 - kept them in use for 19 years before stupidly selling them!). | |
| Tonearm Advice Needed I too have owned and enjoyed using the 3009 with mc cartridges on my Ariston RD11S (the Sondek's Scottish cousin). It has sufficient mass to work well with a variety of mc cartridges! Keep it and spend the money on a world-class mc: the Miyajima S... | |
| Balanced cables +1 audiozen! Thank you for your cogent explanation and debunking of the "superiority" myth of XLR (Cannon) connectors! | |
| Nad M3 non repairable Most any component can be repaired - providing it hasn't been run over by a truck! The issue is finding a competent technician and paying the cost (could be quite high!). |
