| Dynaudio Audience 52SE vs. Contour S1.4 I compared the two models when looking for a set of monitors for my analog setup. I was able to pick up the 52SE & Stand4 stands fo $1100 - the selling point for me. To get the Contours and stands would have been twice as much. I did not hear ... | |
| Speaker recommendations Check *Bay for some Dynaudio 52SE. An excellent speaker for the $$ - will require stands though. I bought a pair for my analogue setup and the Dynaudio Stand4. I got them both (speakers & stand) for $1100 shipped. The 52SE area discontinued it... | |
| New Rotel "15" Series I hope you mean B&W subs and not Rotel - although they are bot part of the B&W Group. I have a Rotel RB-1070 (analogue) and RB-1092 (digital). Both have their signature sound - I prefer the Class D RB-1092 but would love to replace my RB-1... | |
| best 'affordable' turntable with moving coil cart My suggestion would be a used Rega P3 with a Sumiko Blue Point ($299). | |
| Phono preamp suggestions While I was shopping for a phono stage I was looking at most of the models you have listed but I decided to go with a Graham Slee Era Gold Mk V. One reason I did is becuase my dealer allowed me to take it home to demo before buying. I was looking ... | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? I was using the onboard phono stage on my Rotel RC-1082 preamp - was pleased with the performance until I TRIED a Graham Slee Era Gold Mk V. Made a sonic difference for the better. I had been researching the pluses of a seperate phono stage becaus... | |
| Scout vs. P5 Rega P5 - Stereophiles 2005 Analogue product odf the year. I had one with an Exact cartridge - no fuss to set up and sounded wonderful. I upgraded to the P7 with a DV20XH, and once agian, rega was a snap to set up (need shims for the arm to accomo... | |
| Well recorded records ... what are your picks? My latest fined is Derek Trucks - "Already Free" | |
| Dynaudio Audience 72 vs. 72SE Those will do just fine. | |
| Rega Drive Pulley Issue The folks at Sound Organization have always been more than helpful to me when I have had questions/problems. They even invited me to visit their location Dallas when I visit family in the Big D. They even follow up on a timely basis to be sure I a... | |
| Record Clamp for Rega P5? I also use a Michell 'R' on my Rega P7, but only for warped records (only helps when warp is concave - a periphery ring is needed for the convex side). | |
| Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far Robbie's debut is defintely a classic LP to have. BTW, his remastering of The Last Waltz is superb. | |
| DLP lamps My 57" Mits is going on 2.5 yrs old and still have the original bulb in it. I do have another on hand when i eventually fails. | |
| Best John Mayer Album I am not a true JM fan (but love Jennifer A.) but in 1999 he opened up for the Rolling Stones in Houston, by himself - no band, and the 'kid' wailed. He didn't 'blow the 'stones off stage, but was very respectable in his performance. I do like Try... | |
| Rega P3-24 or RB301 anti-skating bias Bob, What cartridge are you using? It may be too heavy for the standard Rega counterweight - I experreinced that with my P7/DV20XH. I had to get the Rega tungsten wt. (125g) before I could get my arm to float correctly. I know this does not answer... |
