| Comments / Observation on Dynavector 505 tonearm? I am not sure this tonearm is as good as they say for some reason. I was very uncomfortable with its sound, tried it with quite few carts from Grado Statement to Ortofon Kontrapunkt to Dynavector's own XX-1 with no positive outcome.YMMV of course. | |
| suggestions for a headphone amplifier I'm running my HD650's with A.N.T. "Amber". Designed and built in the UK by Alex Nikitin, the man behind most Creek components in the last 10 years. | |
| Best budget $100 - 200 Phono Pre-amp? Vlad1456, are you DIYer? $200 buys you all the parts necessary to build EAR834 clone.If you are not, then look into used ones. B&K Phono 10 is not bad. | |
| Museatex Bitstream vs Bidat Completely modified Bitstream and Bidat are very close, and in my opinion it takes a VERY high-resolution system to fully enjoy the difference. For most (again, in my opinion) the decision comes to need for balanced connectors and volume control. | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 I did not visit this topic for some time now. Nice to see few more people taking 1200 seriously.I went slightly different way after short encounter with Denon, but still consider 1200 currently being the best value out there, and with main modific... | |
| Is table really more importsnt than cartridge? I think cartridge is much more important. I don't think I would be as brave as $2000 cart on a $200 table, but I would go as far as 2000/500 rather than 500/2000. | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 Yes, I thing it is new, at least to the US market. | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 It spins! :)It's a new Denon direct drive turntable - DP-500M. I made few changes to its electronics, moved power supply outside and am thinking about replacing tonearm. | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 Well, Funny thing happened. Good friend of mine decided to get vinyl front-end, and was shopping around for a while. However, he was not able to find a system that pleased him as much as mine did, so he simply bought mine. He made me an offer I co... | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 Actually, I don't own 1200 anymore. | |
| Tight-Budget Tube Integrated... Help I would look into used Chinese gear. Some of their manufacturers (Cayin for instance) are rather good. | |
| Tube power vs Solid state power, how much is enoug Sean, please do. | |
| Tube power vs Solid state power, how much is enoug I will try to be as politically correct as possible here... :)In my opinion, 100% of technical information provided with audio equipment is not meaningful as far as describing sound. In my experience the only way to solve this problem is to try sp... | |
| Alesis ML-9600 to archive my LP's in HI-RES CD24 In my experience Alesis is a so-so device. Most professional PC or MAC soundcards would be able to do a much better job of AD conversion. | |
