| Replacing my preamp??? there's a melos sha-gold f/s here on a-gon for $700. send it to melos audio restorations in vegas for their upgrades (keep the photentiometer wolume control if it's still in good shape). it'll still be less than $1500, & it's a steal at the pr... | |
| Lets fight Part2 yup, dan - i believe ewe hit the nail on the head. a perusal of my comments on similar threads indicates my belief that a-gon likes the woting cuz it garners more *hits* on their site. but, i believe this will backfire on them in the long run, as ... | |
| Lets fight Part2 cornfed - i, too, asked a-gon when the woting nonsense wood end, or at least change. they said it wood change soon, but that it woodn't end, cuz, tho they've gotten complaints from the likes of ewe-n-me, they've also gotten *more* support. ?!? fro... | |
| Cartridge for an old GRACE 707? if i'm not mistaken, my grace 727, which came on my used oracle also, is wery similar to the 707. joe is rite - heavy cartridges don't mate too well w/these arms. my ~11-gram ortofon had me adjusting the counterweight past its end-stop to get it t... | |
| Basis or Michell GyroDec get a wall-mount stand for your turntable, if flooring is a problem. re: 'tables, i'd consider a used oracle. i updated my used oracle to mk-v specs, except for the motor-power/supply, which i replaced w/an origin-live motor-p/s. i also installed ... | |
| Logans and Heavy Metal? check out newform research r645 - 91db/1w/1m | |
| CEMENT SPEAKERS - anyone remember these? dac, was ir rauna*? | |
| Any suggestions for improvements? yup, money is definitely a consideration. my oracle is updated to all mk-v specs, except for the motor/power-supply, which is the o-l unit. as set-up, w/the o-l arm, i've got $1800 into it - which includes the cost of the 'table. not exactly cheap... | |
| Any suggestions for improvements? that arm isn't the best match-up for the oracle, due to its spring arrangement, & the way the et will cause weight-shift to the oracle as the arm moves. i assume ewe have an older oracle - i can't imagine this arm wood get mounted today on a g... | |
| Warm sounding ss power amps hi johnny, i like my electrocompaniet amps. and i'm not saying this yust cuz i have one for sale! ;~) it's only f/s cuz i found a matched stereo pair that i can run wertically bi-amped.that said, mgs is correct - yer system's brightness may be due... | |
| Congested sound, new speakers? redkiwi, perhaps yure rite about the mids of the 1.5's - i dunno, i'm not familiar w/this specific model. but, i've heard several of their other models, and they all had a *family* sound. i own a pair of 3.5's, now in a secondary system. i've neve... | |
| Need SS preamp that sounds like tube . pete, yure rite where i'm at now - i'm tryin' to conwince myself i need a pair of melos mat-1000 mono amps, which retailed for $10k/pair. even used, i dunno how the budget wood feel... but, as dekay sez - be careful 'bout woicin' an opinion - yer ... | |
| Thiel cs3.6 keep blow up mid/tweter driv thiels are wery demanding of quality amplification & lotsa current - normally, i'd take the adwice of drtmth58 & cornfedboy. but, in this case, yer amp is up to the task. so, i'd suspect ewe have a problem similar to that referred-to by rm... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? albert, i have a suspicion that stevemj's post *was*, in fact, in jest. ironic, that, as you show, it's actually what smart designers *do*. seems to me they know something *isn't* "technically perfect", as stevemj purports, if it in fact cannot ac... | |
| To Sub or not to Sub...? jayboard, if this worked, it'd be purely coincidental - what if your room resonance was @ 120hz? i don't tink ewe wood wanna raise the monitors' x-over point to, say, 140hz, and the subs' to 100hz, yust to deal w/this, if better integration betwee... |
