| Project xtension 10 turntable Dayglow -- Thank you. I am no longer looking at the Xtension. I will most likely choose either the VPI Classic OR the Clearaudio Concept (w/ the Clearaudio Maestro cartridge) depending on the depth of my pocket when the time comes. Thank you, agai... | |
| Acoustic Zen -- Tsunami II OR Tsunami Plus Thank you. I was confused by the names of the cords figuring that the Plus would come before the II. This is what two AZ dealers told me. I have not been able to find a chronology of the cable on AZ's web site OR anywhere else. Perhaps the II vers... | |
| Pangea AC14 Review Tough to put into words. Much quieter background. If the background could be a color then it should be black. Comparing the amazing deep blacks of a Pioneer KURO plasma TV to the good but not nearly as deep blacks of a LED TV the Shunyata Venom 3 ... | |
| Pangea AC14 Review I tried the Pangea AC14 in my system (Primaluna Dialogue II int. and Sonus Faber Cremaon Aduitors) and I returned the Pangea for the reasons that you state. I bought the Shunyata Venom 3 ($100.00) and am VERY pleased. | |
| Best REEL TO REEL blank tape? C1ferrai -- not sure. I am less into "perfect" sound with this R2R project. I believe that Maxell UD tape will work just fine as will some of the current production tape from U.S. Recording (referenced in an earlier post on this thread). I will be... | |
| Best REEL TO REEL blank tape? Great comments - all. My interest in buying R2R is a romantic one. And romance makes no sense. One of my first "higher end" audio experiences was listening to Supertramp's CRIME OF THE CENTURY on an open reel deck (Teac) turning at 15 ips. The mus... | |
| PrimaLuna DiaLogue Seven Speaker Match I own the Dialogue 2 integrated amp -- just 40 watts. I am using Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor speakers. Look at the Volent VL-2 (monitor) and the Acoustic Zen Adagio (floor standing). I am drawn to Primaluna'a "air" and high end. I felt the stock P... | |
| The difinitive recording of AJA G M C -- Thanks for the link to BETTER RECORDS. Outstanding site to learn from and to buy from. You (and members like you) are why I continue to participate at AudioGon. Many thanks! | |
| Prima Luna Dialogue 2 or Cayin A100? WOW! Thanks for all of the suggestions. Here are the changes that I made and -- for now -- my problem of "brightness to an extreme" has been solved. I shared my problem with Brent at audiotubes.com and he suggested I insert NOS Telefunken 12AU7 sm... | |
| Prima Luna Dialogue 2 or Cayin A100? Thanks for the input. I just installed a Primaluna Dialogue 2 into my system. After listening to it for a few days it strikes me as bright -- so much so that I switch from ultralinear to triode to compress the top end. I am using the factory KT88 ... | |
| Cayin A-88t OR Cayin A-100T for Sonus Faber Cremon Thank you for your observations. I will go with the A-100t as soon as a nice one is listed on Audiogon. Cheers! | |
| Cayin H80A or Ayre AX-7e I own the Cayin and the sound stage is what sold me. Very specific instrument placement. The Cayin truly made my Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors disappear. My only issue with the Cayin is that the motor that moves the volume control when using the re... |
