| Yamaha GT 2000 Turntable Thanks for the info. I heard a GT2000 at Disk Union in Tokyo last fall and have lusted after it ever since. Now, next question: what's the best reasonably priced cartridge (<$1000) to use with it? | |
| Yamaha GT 2000 Turntable Can anyone in the US using a GT-2000 -- bought in Japan -- tell me if you need a step-up/converter (from 100 to 110/120 volts) to use it? If so, does using the step-up affect the sound or stress the power supply? Thanks | |
| Which Harbeth I have the SHL5 paired with a Rogue Cronus Magnum I (w/ KT120 power tubes and various front end tubes). It sounds really good but missing some bass control, I read on another thread that you'd compared both LFD and Rogue amps. I listen to rock, re... | |
| Spendor 2/3r2 vs. Harbeth 7es3 Yes, agree that the C7ES3 is more forward than the other Harbeth models. I can also see that the Spendor 2/3r2 is slightly less even or slower in the upper-bass/lower mids. But the Spendor also seems to do rock and reggae with more impact and feel... | |
| Spendor 2/3r2 vs. Harbeth 7es3 I should clarify that I'm looking for feedback from people who own or have had experience with either or compared the two side by side. I was only able to hear them on separate occasions and with different electronics feeding them. | |
| Naim vs ARC On a completely separate note, how do you like the Spendor 2/3r2? I heard some recently, really like them and close to pulling the trigger on a pair. What are your impressions of them? I don't see a lot of comments on the 'Gon or elsewhere about t... | |
| Best Phono amp under $2000. Jmowbray, I'm curious about why you prefer the Triton over the Ares for rock? I'm leaning towards getting an Ares over a Triton because I generally like the tube sound better, but I do listen to more rock, reggae, electronic and world music with t... | |
| Turntable Upgrade From Modded Audio Note TT-1 Would a used Michell Gyrodec with the newer power supply be an upgrade from the Audio Note TT-1? | |
| Child-Proof Speakers Thanks for all the suggestions, except for the one from Buconero117 (you're insane! I can't just "give it all up"). I'm preparing for the worst practically and mentally, and I think I'll try gates around the speakers first and then an electrical f... | |
| Turntable Upgrade From Modded Audio Note TT-1 Yes, I'm partial to tubes of course and would love to temper the upgrade-itis with a nice tube phono pre for a while, since it seems I'd need to spend more than my budget on a new/used TT to see a significant improvement in that department. I'll k... | |
| Turntable Upgrade From Modded Audio Note TT-1 I'm in Souhern California. But I do make it to London and Tokyo 1-2 a year. | |
| Turntable Upgrade From Modded Audio Note TT-1 If you think the weak link is the phono stage and/or cartridge, any suggestions on both and opinions on the ones I listed?Also, how much would I have to spend and/or which TTs should I look at to get a significantly better table than the Audio Note? | |
| Use of subwoofer with bookshelf speakers I have the Sonics Anima -- very similiar to the Canalis version -- paired with a REL Strata III sub, and they sound great together. I had been using the Animas sans sub for a few months and mostly didn't miss the bass <60hz, but then I got the ... | |
| Good Cartridge For an Audio Note TT-1 Ah, good feedback, thanks. I was thinking of picking up the IQ2 stylus next time I'm in London if it's much cheaper, but I was concerned about it not being a big step up from the IQ1. Is there a dramatic difference? (If I found an IQ3 for <500 ... | |
| Cartridge For Audio Note TT1 and Michell Tecnoarm I took the plunge and got an Avid Pellar phono preamp that I found as a demo and got a nice deal. It's still breaking in after about 10 hours and the difference is pretty substantial already. As opposed to the phono stage in the Cronus, the sound ... |
