| High End Novum MKT Try Gongs.com. They have a nice selection, although the cheaper ones are brass, not bronze. Of all the tweaks i've seen, this one actually makes some acoustical sense. Plus, you'll have a nice dinner gong if you decide not to use it. I do think th... | |
| High End Novum MKT No mystery - you heard a piece of resonating bronze. As an ex-drummer, I can tell you that a drum kit sounds dry and dead without (bronze) cymbals placed around it, which add a shimmering ambience to the kit. I even went as far as to purchase a ch... | |
| Basis Calibrator base - worth it? I just noticed you are not using the Vector arm, so I don't think you can use the cable isolator. I still think it's a nice addition if you're not too stretched. | |
| Basis Calibrator base - worth it? Good question. The Base optimizes the suspension and permits use of the cable isolator. I bought my 2001 with the base because it was the only way I could use it on a wall shelf. The motor would have had no place to sit without it. If I didn't nee... | |
| Turntables with warm/smooth mids and highs Get a Linn - IF you have someone to set it up for you. They are very good bargains on the used market. Smooth, euphonic, musical. They sound nice. | |
| Time to make a decision on int amp As you are purchasing from a local dealer, the thing to do is to bring your speakers in and demo them to see which one you like best. That's exactly the advantage of purchasing from a local dealer - you get to pick something that suits your taste.... | |
| Priscilla Ahn Sibilance My copy doesn't have any sibilance, but the music is extremely ordinary, so it's no great loss. MoFi must think that putting a cute girl in a tee shirt on the cover will get people to buy it. Well, that's why I bought it, but that's me. I played i... | |
| Esoteric k-03 vs emm labs CDSA SE If you can afford the Esoteric, I would go for the dealer demo up for sale now. You don't want to be left out in the cold when spending this much money on a digital product. IMO, you can't purchase used products without considering the service iss... | |
| Better Record Cleaning Method While I'm not prepared to go through the steaming ritual, the benefits of getting all the crud off the record are undeniable and I can see what the steam advocates are talking about. However, with my sink-rinse step, I think I have achieved an ext... | |
| How to get the impact of a live concert? I think you, as well as many people here, would be better served with high-end sound reinforcement gear than traditional home stereo speakers. Companies like EAW and JBL Pro make the speakers you hear at these concerts and they are specifically de... | |

| Interesting Ads Actually, I wasn't impressed with any of it. I just found it very unusual that a seller had to go through his life story to sell you some hifi equipment. | |
| Has anyone heard the SimAudio 650D? Without getting into the debate of the wisdom of Stereophile's rankings, I believe that the A+ class is only for player's performance with hi-rez media, which the Simaudio lacks. | |
| At what vol level do you get rumble / flutter? Twice your normal listening level? Turn the goddamn thing down. It's an inexpensive table and it can only take so much. | |
| I'm back now to my CDP It's amazing the conclusions you can come to when you actually use your ears instead of listening to all the BS. Audio should be enjoyable and it sounds like you are enjoying your system. That's a good thing. |
