| Rogue M180 or Antique Sound Lab Hurricane DT? How so Schubert? Have you compared ASL to both? | |
| crackling sound out of right speaker Best of luck to you with that. Please report back on if the problem has in fact been resolved. Based on your earlier descriptions, something still seems fishy. | |
| DV 20X-L: Sutherland, Dynavector P75 or Heed.... If you have it narrowed down this far, then why not try to audition both? That is the easiest way to tell what works best in your system, according to your tastes (rather than in the system of some other person, and according to the tastes of that... | |
| Best preamp 2k or under, new or used For Pass, check Reno Hi-Fi. They often have used or demo stock of much of the Pass line and their return policy is excellent. Mark at Reno is great to deal with. | |
| Best preamp 2k or under, new or used My preamp merry-go-round ended when I got the Musical Fidelity kW preamp. They show up here used for around $2k. Does all that you are looking for. Great bass, lovely treble. A hybrid design that lets tubes and transisters each do what they do bes... | |
| Is the Townshend Rock 7 "the" giant killer? If you have never heard it, it is pretty irresponsible to post "Its not as good as the WTL Amedeus or Versalex." That sure suggests that you have actually heard the tables in question. Shame on you. | |
| Best Counterweight Position? There are also headshell screws from SoundSmith of varying weights that can be very helpful as well. | |
| Is the Townshend Rock 7 "the" giant killer? ...and bring your killer amp. | |
| Is the Townshend Rock 7 "the" giant killer? Come to Chicago and you can hear mine. | |
| Ideas on table/arm combo for Miyajima mono cart I am a big fan of Moerch tonearms, which have removable armwands that can be of different effective mass. Mehran at Sorasound imports Moerch and carries Miyajima carts, so he could be of assistance in matching arm and cart. | |
| Benchmark or Antelope? Sadly, can't help with a direct comparison, but loved the Silver Antelope when I heard it. I'd look into auditioning both, since you have narrowed it down this far. If no one locally has both, I imagine you could find online sellers with return po... | |
| Is the Townshend Rock 7 "the" giant killer? It was a standard Amadeus that I compared to the Rock 7 with the Rega 301. And I would be very interested to hear how you think the standard and GTA Amadeus compare to each other sonically. | |
| what differentiates tube integrated amps? Pay attention to power supplies for sure. And the quality of transformers. | |
| Is the Townshend Rock 7 "the" giant killer? I am also interestested in the reasons for Notec's opinion. Were these compared side-by-side? I compared the WTA and Rock 7 side-by-side and both were excellent. With a Rega 301 the Rock did some things better than the WTA (bass for example), whil... | |
| DV 20X-L: Sutherland, Dynavector P75 or Heed.... I also quite enjoyed the P75 in PE mode with a low output MC. The other phono stage you might want to look at is the Avid phono pre in that price range. I have the Avid Pulsus which replaced my SimAudio 5.3LP with external power supply, which repl... |
