| David Crosby R.I.P. Last week it was Jeff Beck! Now we've lost Gina Lollabridgida and David Crosby! Makes one wonder who's next among celebrities? | |
| Binding Post? So you think changing the binding posts will improve the sound of your amp? In your fantasy, maybe. In the REAL world, no! | |
| How much should I spend on a new DAC Why do you think that the Pro-Ject DAC is limiting the sound quality of your system? If anything I would get rid of the Pass amp and get an amp with a lot more power, say 200wpc. The Pass's 25wpc is really limiting the dynamic capabilities of the ... | |
| Which turntable to keep? I have both in my TT collection. That's a tough choice to make! | |
| But is it HiFi? (Crown) The Crown naysayers here on Agon are proven wrong! | |
| Outstanding service from Needleclinic Thanks Jerry! This is good to know! | |
| What are some good Amplifier choices for Martin logan ESL 15A? Perreaux 2150B - 340/680/920wpc@8/4/2ohms. I have one on hand for use with difficult speakers like your Martin Logan ESL's. The 2150B can often be found for around $900. | |
| Aftermarket headshell leads I too have a PLX1000 in my collection of turntables. It came with a nice headshell and a high-quality RCA interconnect. I left the headshell leads alone when I added a Denon 103R mc cartridge. There is no benefit to changing the headshell leads. | |
| Farichild 260 I have a Fairchild turntable with an Empire arm. Is this what you are asking about? | |
| Warm Take on Professional Audio Equipment Reviews A $4K system is certainly not mid-fi! A Bose Wave is mid-fi. You can buy a lot of excellent older used gear for $4K! | |
| SET Distortion at higher volumes? SET amps are most linear when they are operated at 25% of their rated power: ie 2 watts for an 8 watt 300B. Distortion rises rapidly after that. I have three: a 45, a 2A3 and a 6BG6. They await a suitable speaker after I sold my Heresy's. | |
| analog upgrade suggestions needed ZYX 100 mc cartridge for $2K is an easy recommendation. No need to change anything on your Spacedeck. | |
| SET Distortion at higher volumes? The OP can change to Klipsch Khorns (104db sensitivity) but then he will have to suffer with their infamous sound colorations. | |
| Which Audio Research preamp? Audio Research SP6. The preamp that William Z. Johnson said that he always wanted to build after the SP3! I have one. It and its phono stage are still a world-class preamp! | |
| Denon x4700h DAC change Keep it! I am sure the measured performance and sound is the same as the earlier version. Denon is a major mfgr - not a cut-and-try boutique audio company. |
