| SL-1400KM2 geometry If you do a search of the threads, you will find a majority of Technics users recommend the MintLP Best Tractor protractor. A MintLP Best Tractor can be custom made for the geometry of the SL-1400 MK II. The MintLP was the best tweak (actually mor... | |
| SET the best? No experience with them, but I just noticed some Quicksilver 9 watt SET mono amps for sale directly from Quicksilver for $1500/pair. If these are available with a home trial, it might be a no-brainer. | |
| SET the best? I've been having a conversation with a gentleman who recently took delivery of AN-E SPe HE speakers. He has mentioned good results he's getting with a First Watt F3. The new First Watt J2 is another consideration.Just in case you'd rather not deal... | |
| CD player under 500 for Unifield speakers Then buy a $50 DVD player at Target, Walmart or Best Buy. That should fill the requirement. | |
| CD player under 500 for Unifield speakers I don't want to have tenants use a high end cd player and for the few times a year I am there, it isn't worth the hassle. Mst (Answers)It's a hassle to equip the place with a CD player costing over $500, but it's not a hassle to furnish it with $1... | |
| Silverline Face-off: Sonatina II vs 17.5 I was amazed at how my Sonata III disappeared. They were incredible in that regard, and equal to any montors I had auditioned.I would think the Sonatina II would do the same.Minor tweaks with set up may get you there (toe in, spacing, etc). | |
| CD player under 500 for Unifield speakers You're going to hear everything upstream through the Unifield 3, which in the case of the $500 CDP is going to be lots of grain and hash.You owe it to yourself to increase your budget. | |
| Skylan vs. Sound Anchor speaker stands? Comments? Marco, you make some valid points. Call me guilty of wanting to keep my gear as pristine as possible, and of taking the steps necessary to do so.As I mentioned earlier, I own Sistrum SP-101 stands, and I will certainly give them a try with the spe... | |
| Skylan vs. Sound Anchor speaker stands? Comments? Marco, Sistrum no longer makes that model, but they do have a new model available. I'm aware of those. For me, the issues with the Sistrum stands are the wide base that precludes placement as close to the walls as AN recommends, and the brass poin... | |
| RMAF Loudspeakers? Edit: I found the Finn preliminary specs here.From a specification standpoint, they are similar to Joseph Audio RM25XL. | |
| RMAF Loudspeakers? Totonto416, those Verity Finn look very nice. There are no specifics on the Verity website about frequency response or pricing. Do you know where this is available online? | |
| RMAF Loudspeakers? It's impossible to say until I experiment with the speakers whether I'll keep the Pass amps long term. They're without question the best SS amps I've ever owned. However, my intention is to move to tube amps with the AN speakers. If finances allow... | |
| Skylan vs. Sound Anchor speaker stands? Comments? 11-01-09: Philjoletfwiw I have the Sound Anchor stands for my Audio Note kit 3 (model E) speakers and they are at least twice as beefy as the AN stands which are a bit flimsy IMO. Philojet, you hit on a point that is along the lines of why I am no... | |
| Skylan vs. Sound Anchor speaker stands? Comments? ...being that you are a strong proponent of "try-before-buy", were you able to demo a pair of the AN speakers in your home before you decided to order?Sherod (Threads | Answers)Unfortunately, no. There was no home demo available.I heard them at R... | |
| Skylan vs. Sound Anchor speaker stands? Comments? Steakster, I had the same experience using Rollerblocks and Aurios. Pretty cool.Isolation of that type runs counter to the recommendation of the manufacturer of my speakers, though. |
