| Zu speakers with Atma-Sphere M60 amplifiers Hi folks:Thanks for the guidance here. I know the factory can implement a mod that increases the impedance but I thought that if I changed amps for any reason, the factory configuration would be more forgiving with most other amplifiers. I'm happy... | |
| Footers for Esoteric SA50 CD-SACD Player Hello:I'm using Nirvana Digital power cord, Audio Note RCA and my speakers are Avantgarde Grossos. I'm very happy with my phono set up in the system. I'll do some more break in as well as experimenting with footter placement. Some excellent advice... | |
| Footers for Esoteric SA50 CD-SACD Player Some grate recommendations, thanks! I have a couple sets of the standard ceraballs and find they make very little difference under the player. In what way do the cerapucs differ from the ceraballs? Is there also a sonic difference where these isol... | |
| Review: ALLNIC HT 2500 Head Amplifier Nuvistor Tube preamp This review is so compelling that I'll likely be reaching for my wallet very soon. To think I could possibly render more information from my record collection given I already own an Allnic phono stage is worth the investment. These products are th... | |
| Benefits of a record ring I'm using the TT Weights ring and like it alot. My only concern is by using both the clamp and ring could impact negatively on the motor assembly not to mention belts, idler wheels etc. Does anyone have any comments on my caution? | |
| Best, or ideal record clamp Thank you for the informative responses. Now that someone has brought up the isolation platform, what is a cost effective platform to do the job? I'm using a granite piece which is definitely not perfect. Some say a good chunk of maple will do the... | |
| classe 301 vs sim w5 The W5 is more clinical and lacks the liquid top end of the Classe CA300. I also found the overall presentation of the Classe to be more engaging. The W5 has incredible detail and neutrality. Very different amplifiers. If you're a rock and roll li... | |
| Esoteric C-03 Break In Time Mine has reached the 200 hour mark and it has smoothed out considerably but is still closed in or narrow if you will. I suspect the large capacitors and power supply require several more hours to totally open up. Solid state gear generally runs co... | |
| Anyone compare Shindo vs. Mastersound? I have the MasterSound 845 integrated you refer to in your post. It is an excellent integrated with very sweet highs and relatively authoratative bass for an 845 based integrated. Build quality is second to none and in my opinion one of those slee... | |
| Zyx Universe Break In Bkonig:Using the lead out groove for break in sounds interesting very plausible. Break in time of 75 or 100 hours is plenty of albums. Far more arduous than putting 100 hours on a preamp or cd player. I'm interested to know if anyone else has any ... | |
| Zyx Universe Break In Hi folks:Grate advice here! I'm tracking at 2.0 and will leave it for sometime while breaking in over several hours. Once I'm satisfied with the number of hours I'll make some minor VTA adjustments. I'm coming from the Koetsu Urushi world where th... | |
| Phono stage match for Koetsu You might consider the Tron Model 7. Recently reviewed in the company of The Groove from Tom Evans. | |
| Any experience with the Tron Syren Preamplifier I want to thank everyone for their possitive feedback on Tron components. I'm going to order the model 7 Reference from Jeff tomorrow. I spoke to both Graham and Jeff and feel confident in my decision. Having auditioned 5 or 6 preamps in the past ... | |
| Do connection/contact solutions work or not? Thanks for the good answers. Preventative maintenance is always good. | |
| Direct from PC or wireless Well robr45:You've failed to explain why the results running music directly from my internal computer HD significantly improves the playback results. The only difference is streaming wirelessly. There is obviously something missing here. Your expl... |
