| Kuzma Airline vs Da-vinci Grandezza Ref well within the context of using different tables (and cartridges?) i would still be interested in your general impressions and which one you listen to more often. | |
| What is the best DAC ever made? Well said Erturul.FWIW I have yet to hear an analog front end that convincingly betters the Zanden 2000/Signature combo. I am an analog guy and have had many fine tt/arm/cart combos (best was a Micro seiki sx 8000 with Air Tangent and Zyx Universe... | |
| Walker Audio Prelude LP Cleaning Solution I have not tried the Walker enzyme product just yet, but am planning to. Inthe mean time I adda few commetns on cleaning records. Having lived with the ELP laser player as well as a more conventional tt/arm setup it is clear that the ELP will inst... | |
| Amps for Avalon Osiris CAT JL3, Boulder 2060, Dart FWIW I have had both CAT JL3 Sig and Atma-spere MA-2 ( i belive Rushton now has the pair I owned).I fully agree with Essentialaudio: the Cat's have fantastic bass but are not up to the std's of the MA-2's in the midrange. They are, in fact, a litt... | |
| V.Y.G.E.R. Indian signature comparison If the Vyger is still made by Pino Viola in Italy I would stay very far away from it> I had a VYGER Indain Sig and got very badly burned by Pino on a carbon tone arm: I sent him the money and never heard from him again. Table is beautiful but h... | |
| Tube amp to drive MBL 101's I own a pair of 101E's and use the CAT JL-3s with them. The combination is very good and the JL-3's drive the speaker to reasonable volume in my 14x20 room with authority and finesse. The 101's still have some discontinuity between the MR and lowe... | |
| Top Ten Speakers of All Time? Soundlab U-1, Beveridge 2's, original Apogee's | |
| Best speaker in nearfield listening Any of the full range Soundlab electro stats are exceptional in the near field. Reason: they are a full range single element; no crossovers, no need to blend seperate drivers. You can listen to them very close almost like giant headphones. Nearfie... | |
| Isolation Platform for CD Transport?? Nimbus air latform. see www.machinadynamica.com | |
| Hanging Audio Rack? I use a Billy Bags Tripod rack filled with sand. I then suspend my Dac from the rack with mon filiment fishline. I use a medium weigth spring between the fishline and the Dac to help absorb any low frequency transmission. I decouple the fsihline f... | |
| Ensemble power porducts: a surprise no.2 Hey! I'm just trying to share my honest reaction to an interesting product. I don't have to buy any of these products. I audition them and if I fin dthey add to my pleasure and goal of the recreation of live music then i vote with my dollars. Audi... | |
| Electrostatic or Dynamic This is audiophile neurosis. You can never have it all youhave to pick your 'poison': tube vs solid state, digital vs analog, dynamic vs electostat etc, etc | |
| CEC - how are they these days? $3K will buy you a used CEC TL-1x which is excellent. Or spned a lttel more and get a used Forsell which is very musical. Can't go wrong with either of these. The Forsell sounds a little more musical but the CEC is easier to operate and less obtru... | |
| any silversmith cable users? I had been using Goertz AG-3 apeaker cables and Sapphire ic. The Silversmith very handily beat the Goertz inb terms of soundstage witdth, depth and low level detail. Slightly more transparent as well. I would like to try the Audio Note cables to c... | |
| Ensemble power porducts: a surprise The P300 is essentially an amplifier. The RGPS supposedly offers amplifiers greater power reserves, hence my combining them. In my listening there is a mildly additive perfromacne increase using the combination over either seperate. Given a choice... |
