| Audio Grail or Classic Hifi? OK, will look them up. How good would they be relative to Audiograil? | |
| Audio Grail or Classic Hifi? Hi Dover, thanks, but I am in UK much of the time, So I can avoid transporting, at least long distance across seas. But Woodsong is in my radar also. Hi noromance, Matthew said he does not do restorations anymore. Only accepts trade in and giv... | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? I don't think listening to music, no matter how noble that may be, is classifyable as a hobby. Hobbies are related to things one does, gets absorbed in and that count as an activity. | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs I had the opportunity to hear in the dealer's setup in Singapore a NAIM CD555 and Esoteric K-01XS, and the CD555 easily bested the Esoteric. I then had another different chance to hear a long time owner of the CD555 who replaced his CD555 with one... | |
| Looking for a speaker cable with a relaxed sound. Start with Belden 8477...it is very cheap, and is extremely hi res, and if it suits your system, other cables may not even come close. | |
| 16/44 vs hi-res audio are we being played along with the music? 88 or 176 will be better than 96 or 192 if you are upsampling 44khz, being integral multiples. | |
| Best Rock Song Ever! Great discussion for the #2 spot!!! As for #1, it has to be "Thick as a Brick"... | |
| What tonearm is recommended for the denon 103r I have finished all optimizations. In my system, the ART-9 had a modest edge over my Marantz SA10 for most recordings that were done recently (e.g. some recent 24-192 productions like Miles Davis Kind of Blue, and In a Silent Way etc.). The DL103R... | |
| What tonearm is recommended for the denon 103r I got the DL103R up and running on my SME-V, Garrard 301. It sounds nice. I have some optimisations left to do. I need to open up my phono stage and change the gain setting (ART9 was 0.5mv whereas 103R is 0.25mv), i need to finetune the pivot to s... | |
| What tonearm is recommended for the denon 103r @chakster - i am unable to quote your post in my reply - cant see the buttons for that...I am yet to literally get my hands on it. Should be up and running within a week from now. Will report. I don't think it is run in, and will need a few weeks ... | |
| What tonearm is recommended for the denon 103r I lost use of my AT-ART9 which was paired with an SME-V. Now I have got my hands on a DL103R. I think it will do well with the SME-V. Not that I have a choice in these lockdown times. | |
| Which one is the best INTEGRATED!! Which one will be a better fit between the T+A 3100 and the Diablo 300 for driving a Focal Sopra N3 (91.5db) and Focal Scala Utopia EVO? The T+A seems to have a damping factor of only 65. Unusually low. Cant seem to find the Diablo's damping factor. | |
| Which one is the best INTEGRATED!! rshad0000, how is the combination with Focal Sopra N3 and Gryphon Diablo 300? I am trying to make a decision between the Diablo and the T+A HV PA 3100. I may not be able to audition to my satisfaction. So may have to buy blind. Your feedback will ... | |
| Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday! Hi Anwar, I followed your advice. It plays beautifully from my 32GB memory stick. But I have plenty of other old music (80GB) which are from my mp3 collections which I will never really be able to get on my CD. I occasionally listen to this, thoug... | |
| Cartridge repair by Moscow based Roman?? Hi Chakster, thanks. The cartridge I bought was from the official dealer. Just the price they offered was the discounted price as JPY107k, compared to JPY140k for new. What is wrong here is that the retail discount at that time was very sharp from... |
