| S.F. Guarneri Evolution Pierre1976, I think that the GE's are in many ways better speakers than the Amati Anniversarios. I think you would enjoy the more precise imaging, better high freq air and the ability of the speaker to be more precise in its portrayal of timbres. ... | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions Banerjba, what were the tracking forces used on the different tables? I doubt that they were the same. An incorrectly set up cartridge might not track well in one instance and would track better once correctly set up. Same thing applies for an inc... | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions Banerjba, since when is the table tracking the record, LAST TIME I LOOKED-- IT WAS THE CARTRIDGE/STYLUS/TONEARM! do tell us what cartridges were being used at the time of your demo. | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions Kiko65, I guess we will have to agree to disagree. Where can you buy a SOTA TT that is a 'fraction' of the cost of the LP12 and that is better than the top grade LP12?....I don't know of any such TT. IMHO, the Rega's are not in the same league as ... | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions Kiko65, I don't think any of the TT's you mention give one the option of starting with the cheaper basic design and then changing out parts to optimize the sound. Your example of the Rock 7 certainly doesn't! The Rock 7 has a fixed motor and chass... | |
| Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri EVO's Pavpet, you are using your Wyetech's with your SF GH's and NOT the SF GE's...is that not so? | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions Kiko65, I do have a passion for the LP12. Here's one of the reasons why...an upgrade path. Looking at your examples above, not one can be upgraded, except for the LP12!! While some may like the Classic 1 more than the Majik LP12, there is nowhere ... | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions Banerjba, your comment that a LP12 can sound good or bad; Bad ones, even after being set up properly go off after a year or so, makes absolutely no sense! What would make a good LP12 vs a Bad LP12?I guess I own a "good" LP12, as my TT does NOT go ... | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions Suteetat,your observation about the looks of the LP12 is interesting. In some ways I have to agree, although the looks of any TT is highly subjective, IMHO.Some people would say the new VPI Classic Direct doesn't look like it should cost anywhere ... | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions Kiko65, the words "fuzzy to set up and maintain" would indicate to me that your LP12 was never properly set up in the first place. I have said before, and contrary to popular myth, the LP12 is NOT prone to drift out of set up and is actually prett... | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions Zavato, I did the motor and sub chassis at the same time. Therefore, I cannot say which made the biggest diff...although I'm pretty sure it was the Radikal D. The sub chassis is nonetheless a great option to my old 80's sub chassis. Chayro, cannot... | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions I thought I would 'bump' this thread. I upgraded my LP12 with a new Radikal D and Kore Subchassis along with the new Cirkus bearing/ springs and grommets.The improvements in SQ are NOT small. The jump in resolution, freq extension at both ends of ... | |
| Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri EVO's I have heard the Evo's paired to the Rowland model 625 and also the ARC Ref 75 and Ref 150. All good matches. Depending on budget, I would say the new Rowland 825 would be a great match. | |
| Texas Hurricane...the music of SRV My box # is 731. Haven't listened to the other LP's so far, only the Texas Flood....so I guess my above comments refer only to that particular LP. | |
| Texas Hurricane...the music of SRV Texas Flood is a good sounding LP on this 45 rpm set. SRV's Strat has a LOT more bite than my original pressing and there is far more ease to the sound. Having said that, what struck me as obvious, is what I am finding with so many of these 're-is... |
