| Valve amplifier choice I am not sure about what is available in Australia, that may be a big deciding factor. But maybe some of the tube gear from Japan or a reputable Chinese manufacturer? A lot of the Japanese gear that I am aware of seems to be fairly low powered, SE... | |
| Kuzma 4 Point owners - Do you use damping? As the Foz manual states, the actual values on the meter don't matter, just that they are matched. | |
| You are there-they are here From my experience, speakers will impact the "your are there" vs "they are here", which I usually refer to as speakers being forward vs. laid back. In my last speaker comparison with a friend, I found the Von Schweikert VR-4s to be fairly laid bac... | |
| I need help and phonostage suggestions And as for a productive rec, I highly recommend the Avid Pulsus. Really a great improvement over the SimAudio Moon 5.3LP that it replaced. Especially noticeable in the bass (more defined) and the highs (less bright and fatiguing, though not rolled... | |
| I need help and phonostage suggestions C'mon pbnaudio. Your gear is reviewed well. But your chiming in on every thread asking for a phono preamp rec is tiring. What I don't see is your customers chiming in to recommend these phono preamps of yours or offering us useful descriptions or ... | |
| Seeking opinions on Clearaudio vs. SOTA tables Mulveling, If you are thinking about an arm in the Graham range, you might want to give a Moerch arm a try. Just upgraded to a DP-8 from a DP-6 and have loved both. Mehran at Sorasound sells both so he can run down a comparison for you. Love the M... | |
| Latest Pink Moon Reissue Looks like the box set can be found for $50-60 right now. | |
| Restocking Fees, 30-Day Free Trials True. It isn't a free trial. But are these being advertised as "free home trials" or just as having "a 30 day return period" etc.? But also not a biggie how they decide to phrase it, unless the buyer is not clear that there is a restocking fee. | |
| AC power delivery and Power conditioners. You might want to call The Cable Company (who has a lending library) or another retailer that has both 1) a lot of power conditioning experience and 2) a good return policy. They can guide you to what they think will be best in your particular sys... | |
| Restocking Fees, 30-Day Free Trials I can't agree with Br3098 that this is what is driving audio dealers out of business. The marketplace has certainly changed with the advent of the internet, and dealers are going to have to adjust to that. Many audiophiles are also stuck in a town... | |
| Review: Dynavector KARAT 23 R Cartridge To dig up an old thread. Does anyone have axperience with SoundSmith rebuilds on these? I just got one in a trade which doesn't have a cantilever. | |
| Build a TT based set up for $5K Well, Zenblaster I suppose those speakers would sound pretty great with the right electronics. If the speakers are efficient enough for them, I'd look to perhaps a Peachtree Decco or a Rega Brio-R or a Dayens integrated. Cables from Blue Jeans Cab... | |
| Helius tonearm users, what have you upgraded to? I have not heard a Helius tonearm (although I hear that they are great with my turntable, a Townshend Rock), but I just upgraded my tonearm from a Moerch DP-6 to their DP-8. And wow. What a great improvement. That DP-8 is a killer arm. Well worth ... | |
| Build a TT based set up for $5K You will also need to realize that there are a number of different approaches to building a system. In general (and while some low priced speakers like Tekton have their followers), I would recommend spending big on your speakers. They will make t... | |
| Decent power strip Wireworld Matrix would be one to look at. |
