| Speaker Jumpers I doubt that a few inches of metal (round, square, flat) as ANY effect on SQ! Look inside your speakers. A lot of wire of so-so quality connecting drivers and crossovers! And you're worrying about mere inches? | |
| Can you help pinpoint why I am now satisfied with my digital setup? Nothing like the sound of a diamond tracing a spiral groove in a rotating plastic disk! Those minute undulations are present in the groove walls and are "read" at the molecular level by the stylus! So resolution is theoretically greater than any d... | |
| If still at entry level turntable would a new amp make much difference? If you want a killer amp for your Nestorovic's there is a Perreaux 2150B right now on EBAY for $450 + $80 shipping. Auction ending in 2 + days - and no bids yet! I bought one to use with my restored DQ10's. 200wpc/8ohms, 400wpc/4ohms. Clipping at ... | |
| If still at entry level turntable would a new amp make much difference? Pioneer PLX1000 + Hana EL mc cartridge ($700 + $500 = $1200). This would be a formidably excellent sounding combination! I have this TT in use right now with a Denon 103R. Why pay more? | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K JBL4319! | |
| Speaker Jumpers NO! | |
| Are you as OCD as this audiophile? In the end, all that matters is you push the ON button and MUSIC happens! | |
| If still at entry level turntable would a new amp make much difference? Get a better phono cartridge! It all starts at the source! I recommend a low-output mc type (Hana SL). Then a phono stage upgrade. | |
| Best possible separates for Thiel CS 3.7 Get a Perreaux preamp and a 2150B amp. 200wpc/8 ohms, 400wpc/4ohms. Clipping at 300+ and 500+ watts, respectively! I bought one to use with my restored DQ-10's - a speaker that benefits from a powerful amp! | |
| What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far? How about this: Rod Stewart and The Faces (Ron Wood on lead guitar) at the Cow Palace, San Francisco, March 1975! | |
| Still looking for an amplifier upgrade- but with a new twist..... Buy a Perreaux 2150B. A great amplifier! 200 wpc/8ohms, 400 wpc/4ohms. Clipping at 300+ and 500+ wpc, respectively. There are 5 for sale now on EBay ($450 - $1290). I bought one to use with my restored DQ-10's - a speaker that benefits from a powe... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Ohm Walsh's! | |
| Prima Luna Tube Question Buy some vintage USA-made tubes: GE, RCA, Sylvania, KenRad, Hytron, National, Tungsol. I prefer these for the 12A*7 and 6S*7 series. Superior quality (lower distortion and longer life) than current Communist production! And I use US made vintage t... | |
| What albums, in your opinion, sound unquestionably better on Vinyl rather than Digital? I have been using PF's The Wall LPs (UK EMI) as a reference quality source since about 1980. I have on hand the 2011 CD remaster by James Guthrie and Joel Plante at das boot recording. I plan to give this a listen soon! And maybe I can find in my ... | |
| Kenwood KA 8100 phono stage Hook Up Question Use the tape out jacks on the back to connect to the LS7. The 8100 has a good - not great phono stage. It is acceptable! A better choice would be to sell the Kenwood and LS7 and buy an ARC SP15. It has a superior phono and line stage! |
