| Is there actually a difference? Interesting read on this topic here:https://www.dagogo.com/audio-by-van-alstine-abx-comparator-review-part-3-new-twists-conclusion/The reviewer can pick out cable differences much more easily than amp differences. In fact, as long as the amps are... | |
| Speaker Dilemma--A Good One to Have but Confused I had the Primaluna with the KT 150s, and it drove the Harbeth C7s (86db) without any problem. The 96 watts of ultra linear power from the Primaluna w/KT150s is pretty amazing. Keep in mind that many companies significantly overestimate the effi... | |
| Can every tonearm be set up with Stevenson, Baerwald, or Lofgren? Thanks for all the info. I will go with Stevenson and check with the company on options for adjusting it in the future.Best, Scott | |
| From an Anthem 225i to.... I would highly recommend the Musical Fidelity M6si. It's got similar power to your Anthem but has a far more refined sound. It's got a nice touch of warmth for a solid state integrated, but it doesn't gloss over details. I love mine and have ha... | |
| Dynaudio vs. Focal - Bookshelfs - Help me Decide! I just moved from the Aria 906 to the Special 40, and I found the Special 40 to be significantly better than the 906 in my system. Using a Musical Fidelity M6si to drive them. The 40s have much deeper bass, a clearer midrange, smoother highs, an... | |
| Turntable recommendations around $2500 I sincerely appreciate all the suggestions, and I wanted to let you all know where I landed. After some more research and talking with a dealer who has always provided good recommendations, I went with an Acoustic Signature Wow XL with the TA-700... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? "Roland searched the continent for the man who did him inHe found him in Mombasa in a barroom drinking ginRoland aimed his Thompson gun, he didn't say a wordBut he blew Van Owen's body from there to Johannesburg."-Warren Zevon | |
| Turntable recommendations around $2500 @erndog Hey Ernie! You're testing the analog waters? Awesome! Tim's turntable is a VPI, so you've heard at least one. I had a VPI Prime for a little while, but I found the adjustments with the uni-piviot arm to be really difficult. Once I go... | |
| Turntable recommendations around $2500 Thanks for all the info! Hadn't thought about the GyroDec - certainly looks beautiful. The MoFi looks like a user friendly, solidly designed option. I like the idea of the suspension in the SOTA tables. Another table that was just recommended ... | |
| Platter wobble - too much? @syntax I do think it's a great sounding table. I'm willing to forgive a one-off production flaw. They handled the situation with the utmost attention to customer service. | |
| Platter wobble - too much? I wanted to make it clear that I didn't start this post to cast any dispersions on the manufacturer (which is why I didn't mention the brand). They responded immediately to send out a second sub-platter when they (and I) thought the initial probl... | |
| Platter wobble - too much? Oh, and here are the comparison videos of the old and new subplatter that I just tookold:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdzNVklN3TAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhPOdDXOlB8new: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxEdTxgOUG8https://www.youtube.com... | |
| Platter wobble - too much? For what it's worth, the email from the manufacturer said: "I measured the replacement inner platter run out (within the 5 thousands window). The decoupling pad that is between the inner and otter platter can cause more run out by adding its devia... | |
| Platter wobble - too much? I did send the videos. The manufacturer suggested that the subplatter that they sent was measure carefully. They suggested that if the right amount of oil is used that the bearing/spindle should fit just right in the hole without any wobble. I'... | |
| Platter wobble - too much? This is actually the second sub-platter/spindle assembly that has the exact same issue (the company was very responsive to send me a second one). Also, the second assembly was measured closely by the manufacturer to ensure that it was up to spec.... |
