inna,
This trans fi from vic just intrigues me . Guys just rave over that arm and the people using it are spinning on some serious tt. getting back to the upgrade i just am at the point were i feel i need to upgrade my cart, and think is this my best plan yannow.. |
i have a musical fidelity mxvynl it can run any mc .my ace is a low output.red... ls . I would not consider selling my classic unless the price was right.Its the front mount motor and i truly like it ,its on 2"audiopoints and sounds great I do believe the cart is the next step of course if i stay put. The prime is at the top of the list with the trans fi if i go that route. the upgrade would be a g min. plus a cart so it will compound from there.
I would be interested in the 2-3 k range for a cart if i stay put with my classic .. thanks everyone for the imput |
Ya its like 9k ish shipped and has a great phono section low mc ready . Probly the best intergrated amp around for the bucks .. It would be at home in almost any system regardless of price . A dream amp for me , maybe next yr somebody is gonna be seriously happy |
I have and would like one , when strobed my table is very close . i just have always spent my money somewhere else.. At this point i really need to give some serious consideration as to my next tt as inna said . The trans fi is an air bearing tangital tracker rim drive and the prime is the pivot of course , i hear so many positives about the new 3d . But people rave over vics trans fi
I may get a cart for now , my classic just keeps a steady value over the yrs .
I would like
a dynovector xv1s
Znx airy 2-3
benz micro lps
something along those lines used from a solid gon member . This would roll right into a prime . And keep my ace to setup a package tt deal to a freind or something next spring . The ace was a g retail imo i think if i take the next step i need to get up in the higher price carts. If i know the member i would have no problem snagging a 5k cart for 2500 bks . |
I know my cable choice will get the nod from some not from others . I love acoustic zen stuff . I have all reference mrk 2 matrix throughout tt to phono to pre . Including trans dac and satori spkr cables . Adagios spkrs and revalation audio lab psu and a/c on my nuvista . When i hooked up my az ref from tt to pre it blew me away . I had a spare pair of blue jeans i was using . It was such a drastic change i swapped again to check if i was crazy . The difference is huge in soundstage and bass . Honestly i have been spending to much dam time on this forum and am getting the upgrade bug lol . I cannot honestly believe the guy who say im done and happy where im at. My rebuttal to that is dont go listen to another system in a higher category or you have some serious cash locked in already .
Not everyone has the new vac or brinkman with alexandras . Lol but if you hear it you will think about an upgrade at 4am . As of now i am headed to cart upgrade then i will keep that cart and off my classic as a complete tt with the benz. Its a great cart for what it is. I have had much better yrs back ..
the single biggest change for under a grand i have ever enjoyed was room treatment, the changes were staggering and i am amazed at the people who spend massive money on gear and switching around this and that when they have not addressed there acoustics . |
Funny thing is i rarely if ever think about upgrading my digital |
Yep . I will not step away from my modded nu vista until i go vac . As far as cart 3-5 and tt 3-5 that may go down this fall . I cant see any spkr i want to go with under 15 k at this point gulp .. One mans floor is anothers cieling lol this hobby is just one of my obsessions lol like many here i have a separate ht room which takes $ too among my guitars and my hotrod and bike shop . And my family at the top yikes |
Awesome thats my speed right there .. But alas i am being resonable at the moment , next yr maybe. I am a big fan of outboard power supplies with intergrated amps . My nuvista is also seperate. The vac is so next level and i think would be my last power upgrade its epic |
I tried to find dark lantern ? |
dentdog,
I hear so many good things about the transfi .i guess the only downfall if it is or not ,that its not blinged out.The machining is practical and functional not as much for the eyecandy.I know terry here using two of the arms and like them also. If I may, what tables have you had before the transfi ? For the 3500 bks I hear it shoots way above its price and that vic is really a pleasure to deal with.
Could you give me a quick review, and your experiences with it?
Thanks
And yes I have been thinking of the vac all night ,I know im 49 yrs old now because I think of being reasponsible,my daughter and wife ,few yrs back that friker be on its way tommorow lol |
Not much more really but it would be all at once instead of over time . I just feel like the time is not right for that big of a plunge for me . Oh i do love it , there are few amps at any price that are " better" as of now a cple k towards a cart this fall is in my wheelhouse . I will have a ref vac eventually i could sell one of my guitars but i dont go backwards in life anymore by choice atleast lol
|
My room is treated at this time , i have 4 fuses in my intergrated that 500 bks . I have decent fuses in there now , i am on the fence with 100 dollar fuses . And haven't heard the at I believe your comment but it is in the same price range im already in now |
I would like to try the fuses but the god awful long battles here on them is tough to read thru lol |
Gik treatment is my go too . Monster upgrade in sound for my med size room |
Its a website regarding the trans fi table
gik did a great job for me
but this thread was about a cartridge turntable thoughts lol |
I read it all dentdog very interesting |
Ya i hear ya . I have had amazing tube setups over the yrs .. I cant get that dam vac 110 out of my dreams lol ... It has an inboard 4 tube stage its bitchin for the bucks . I just have to many hobbies lol and my 20 mnth old daughter doesnt leave tons if listening time latley... I find myself playing my piano for her more or guitars for her : )
|
Thats what i hear again and again . Not to be vain , but how does the table look . I know from the pics its cool but does it look homemade. I know it shouldn't matter but i do like some visual bling lol |
I agree , vic has a great vision there . His machining is purposefully chosen . It lowers the cost . Make no mistakes this is a serious " bargain in the tt world ! |
