| New cart for under 1K Hey everyone, since we kind of got off topic in this thread where it has turned more towards speakers than a cart for under 1K, I'm going to start a new post named, "New Speakers for under 5K"Thanks again for all your help.David | |
| New cart for under 1K Turns out my favorite dealer, In Living Stereo now sells Spendor but stopped selling Harbeth. There are not any Proac dealers anywhere near me so over the course of the next couple of weeks I'm going to listen to the Spendor's and the Harbeth's. I... | |
| New cart for under 1K Jkorkten,Definitely interested, what Harbeth model/price?David | |
| New cart for under 1K Soix,Thank you for the recommendation. I know exactly where Park Ave. Audio is. Actually it's two blocks North of Les Halles, one of those boisterous NY restaurants and one of my favorites!Thanks again! | |
| New cart for under 1K Jperry,I bought an RP5 from John in Verona. I attempted to contact him several times throughout the following week to make an appointment to check on the order for the spacer for my cart as well as setup a time for the following weekend to swing b... | |
| New cart for under 1K Thanks guys, I'm in NYC which is no where near Phoenix for a listen of the Proac's. Devore are sold by my local dealer as well as Devore, and Dynaudio. I don't know much about any three of them, but will definitely give them a listen. I would love... | |
| New cart for under 1K Jperry,Thanks, the problem I'm finding is locating a US based dealer that sells Proac. Andy ideas?David | |
| New cart for under 1K Thanks Johnnyb53,I don't remember what series from Infinity, I was probably 13/14 years old at that time.I'm definitely going to audition the Golden Ear's and the others that contain the "folded tweeter" design and looking very forward to it.I bou... | |
| New cart for under 1K What about the Anthony Gallo 3.5's? Has anyone listened yet? I saw them at the NYC show this past April but didn't give them a run since the room was too crowded. | |
| New cart for under 1K Johnnyb53,A buddy of mine bought a pair of Martin-Logan Motion series on my recommendation and the retailer had them on sale for 50% off. When I listened to them, I was really impressed by the smooth quality of the highs. As a matter of fact I was... | |
| New cart for under 1K Jjrenman,Occasionally with some recordings the JM's sound fantastic! Typically it's with jazz or anything without vocals. Due to the sibilance issues and the harshness in the highs, all vocals are not enjoyable. Separation is also a nice trait of ... | |
| New cart for under 1K Johnnyb53,I read that same review. I used to toe-in my Focal's and after tweaking inch by inch, straight forward is definitely best with these speakers.All,I've decided to put a hold on the cartridge and focus my energies and time to save up for a... | |
| New cart for under 1K Jirenman,I love that idea! I know exactly the dots you are speaking of. I have tested the harshness in the highs with my Arcam CD-Player as well as my iPod with identical albums and the highs are as harsh. Two years ago when I got back into my vin... | |
| New cart for under 1K Siox/Jjrenman,I agree with both of you, I've had difficulty coming to the conclusion that it's my speakers, but I think you are correct. The rest of my system is a McIntosh 7205 5-channel amp that I'm only using 2 channels presently. I have two pr... |
