| Best Cable Match for: Creek 4330SE + Rega Apollo + Vandersteen 2C Try the Chord "Cameleon" IC. I used one several years ago (before I upgraded my system) between the Creek Classic 5350SE and Rega Apollo. Better synergy, and improved sound. Should be able find a used pair on AG for $150-$175.....don't pay mo... | |
| What is best tweeter height for the Devore O/96? I think the Devore O-93 and O-96 speakers are both overpriced. They have become the darlings of Stereophile light weights, Herb Reichert, Art Dudley.and the phased-out Sam Tellig, and other camp followers and "over-enthusiasts" I also question ... | |
| 12 ft pair of thick speakers cables?? Can they be cut downt to a 6 ft pair?? Thanks to everyone who has responded so far. It looks like the best option is to sell the HT cable OR possibly run the risk of a botch job on the cable by a garage slicer and re-terminator. I have a deal on hold with Grover Huffman cable for his ... | |
| What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? Check out the Neat Audio Iota Plus speaker recently reviewed in Stereophile this month by staffer Ken Micallef. However, careful,...... John Atkinson, the magazine's technical guru was disappointed by their " measured performance", and Micallef's... | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 To mesch: I'll provide an overview evaluation when I get TT spinning for a few weeks Thanks, SJjohnnyb53, I will check out the Shelter 201. Thanks, SJ | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 Case Closed, I bought the U-Turn TT with the acrylic platter and the Ortofon 2M cartridge, which be replaced fairly soon with the Denon DL-110 MC Thanks to all who provided advice and recommendations SJ | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 To fjn04, Well at least I can be accused of picking on audio reviews. No doubt Reichert knows his stuff, but he presents it like a show-off. He needs to put away his lavender Lava Lamp. BTW, thanks for the endorsement of the "U Turn" turntable... | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 To Johnnyb53, I am sure every point you make is true. However, I am not going to play along with the band. Why not the Pioneer PLX 1000? which retails for $679.00. It looks solid and well made, and got the blessings of that blowhard Herb Reich... | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 Thanks to all who have responded and provided many good TT options.However, I ran across and ad for "U-Turn Audio turntables" on a Stereophile newsletter. I have never heard of this company, but their website is impressive and offers a slide show... | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 I was surprised to see an ad for Audioengine line of "turntable". They look nice, and the pricing is reasonable, but the models "Orbit Plus" and "Orbit Special" are pre-packed with "the same old same old": Ortofon OM5e on the Plus and the univers... | |
| Need recomendation for an IC to fill out and enrich the sound between amp and pre-amp. To jafant, I did not dismiss your recommendation of the Audience cabling. I have been generously bombarded by cable options (some) which appear less expensive However, scroll back to Almarg's comments about the Jensen Transformer as possibly the... | |
| Need recomendation for an IC to fill out and enrich the sound between amp and pre-amp. To mtot, Thank you for your comment about the Cardas Adapters. Interestingly Victor Khomenko at BAT informed me about the Cardas Adaptors, but more or less to stick with what I have, that is the Signal Cable mixed configurationParts Connexion se... | |
| Need recomendation for an IC to fill out and enrich the sound between amp and pre-amp. Almarg. Thank you again for the information about the Jensen TransformerI have 3 ways to go; 1) BAT no lower has adapters, and suggested Cardas adapters. Victor K. at BAT did say I was better off with "what I have now" that is, the Signal Cable ... | |
| Need recomendation for an IC to fill out and enrich the sound between amp and pre-amp. Thanks to all who have responded so far. I may have ask this same question a few months agoTo Almarg, I think I need to put my glasses on, because as you noted before, the BAT VK-200 only has XLR inputs. They DO have RCA outputs but that is not g... | |
| What speaker cables can complete with Audience 24e or 24e SE for less $$ To Lowrider, Thanks for the comment. I spoke to the G-man today, and his trade up policy is generous; so I am probably going to go for the Empress speaker cable and trade in my Huffman EX speaker cable. |
