| Which TT Music Hall 5.1 or Rega P1 or P2 The one similarity shared by the Technics and Rega tables is the benefit they share from upgrades, although in my opinion, the relatively limited, but effective Technics upgrades maximize the table's performance faster and for less money than do t... | |
| Speaker cables for soundlabs and strong current I forgot to mention Analysis Plus Oval 9. Great speaker cable, heavy gauge, and very reasonably priced if found used. | |
| Speaker cables for soundlabs and strong current I really like Gregg Straley's Reality Cables speaker cable, and I have read good things about the Audio Art speaker cable.Both are available with 30 day home trials. | |
| Question about Denon 2910 read errors My Denon 3910 sometimes has problems reading certain burned CDs made by one friend in particular. If I import the songs CD into iTunes and burn a new CD, then my machine reads the new disc without any problem. | |
| Emerald Physics CS-2, Opinions Please Very nice pair of Altec 19 listed for sale today for under $2k. Wish I had the room for them. Classic loudspeakers. | |
| Hadcock tonearms on a Technics SL1210 Too many unanswered questions caused me to abandoned the idea. I'm quite pleased with my KAB upgrades to the Technics SL12xx.If you proceed with the Hadcock installation, and if you are satisfied with the results, you might consider chronicling yo... | |
| Hadcock tonearms on a Technics SL1210 I was considering doing this exact thing.The Technics tonearm has a mounting distance of 215mm and an effective length of 230mm. I believe - but I'm not certain - that the effective length measurement is what you need to compare to the Hadcock's P... | |
| Where are you today? I switched from tubes to solid state because my speakers required it, and I was not going to buy different speakers. Otherwise, I'd still own a tube amp.I am presently satisfied...generally lasts three to four months if my track record holds true.... | |
| Question about Denon 2910 read errors Generally, this is a laser assembly problem. The Denon 3910 machines also suffer from the same malady. The assembly needs to be replaced (if this is your machine's problem). | |
| Emerald Physics CS-2, Opinions Please Every six months or so in high end audio there's another power cord, speaker, amplifier, digital source, (you name it) that's got the hot buzz among audiophiles. Within a year (or less), the latest hot-buzz item is seen for sale in the classifieds... | |
| Most popular TT upgrades: skeptical but curious... I am dubious of stylus drag having any audible effect on a direct drive, quartz locked turntable...even with a felt mat.I always thought the primary benefit of a record clamp was to reduce micro-vibrations in the LP itself by "coupling" it to the ... | |
| Driven to Tears 05-14-08: Jaybodrove from tucson to l.a....through the desert at night with the windows down and the radio blairing what i believed to be the soundtrack to my childhood...i had a religious experience.Were magic mushrooms involved? | |
| Mogami balanced cables .... or another brand? I mostly agree with you, but I stand by my observation. If Atma-Sphere's D/B design mostly negates the effects of balanced interconnect cables, then the quality of cabling (expensive/inexpensive wire, insulation and geometry, manufacturer mark-up)... | |
| Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording? A friend brought over The Carpenter's Greatest Hits on SACD so a buddy and I could hear it. I excused myself from the room when he put it on.However, once I heard the first song, I came back into the room. Amazingly good music and recording. | |
| Mogami balanced cables .... or another brand? I think Ralph Karsten of Atmasphere amps fame uses Mogami balanced cables with his gear because his fully differential/balanced designs mostly negate the influence of cables on the overall sound.That's a pretty damn good vote of confidence for the... |
