| Cowboy Junkies-Trinity Revisited...In deed I didn't mind Natalie. I liked her quite a bit. Ryan Adams too. He has a great voice. But I couldn't stand Vic Chesnutt. I really dislike his singing (if you can call it that). I couldn't help but wonder what Margo thought while he was singing her... | |
| Denon 103r ???? I'm looking for comments on this if anyone has info to share. Thanks in advance. -Mark03-17-08: Mingleswhat tools and methods do you use to align your cartridge on your tonearm? I've been using the paper guide that came with my RB-300. Square cart... | |
| Denon 103r ???? This was one of the most informative DL-103 threads I've seen. Thanks to all for the great information. I pulled out my exacto knife tonight and it took less than 5 minutes to take off the case. It was surprisingly easy. Now I need an Uwe body. Wi... | |
| Paradisea, Airport Express and Denon 2910 Does anyone know whether the Paradisea would improve the performance of a Denon 2910?The answer to my own question is a strong yes. CD playback is much smoother and more natural sounding with the Paradisea in the picture. | |
| Denon 103r ???? This may seem off-topic, but what tools and methods do you use to align your cartridge on your tonearm? I've been using the paper guide that came with my RB-300. Square carts like the 103 are easy to set up. Non-square carts like the Sonata are mu... | |
| new experience with my passive preamp How does the Placette compare to your Lamm preamp? | |
| PHONO-Hagerman's Cornet or Wright Sound WPP200C Thanks folks. I appreciate the info. | |
| Cable for Nola Minis in SS system What's your source equipment? I could be wrong, but I question whether a cable can tame what you describe. It might be your cd player. | |
| PHONO-Hagerman's Cornet or Wright Sound WPP200C Restock, in your opinion, how does the JLTI compare to the WPP200c? The JLTI keeps popping up in my searches. | |
| new experience with my passive preamp With an output impedance of 10 ohms and max output of 2.225 volts, the Levinson 390S looks like a perfect source for a passive preamp. What ICs are you using? Some owners say the Placette is soft in the low end. What's your experience? How are the... | |
| Denon 103r ???? Yep, sometimes it sounds great! I forgot to mention that too. | |
| Denon 103r ???? I've also struggled with the edginess of the 103R. I realigned it several times thinking it wasn't set up properly. I added mass to the tonearm to accommodate its compliance. I damped the plinth to death. I tried several phono stages (Phonomena, W... | |
| Pre Amp or Power Amp Koiman, keep the Modwright. Sell the Channel Islands. Get this ASL Hurricane. It has plenty of power for your 85dB efficient Salk's. Personally, I'm not a fan of digital amps. | |
| Best budget preamp for Aragon 8008bb and Thiel 3.6 You can't go wrong with the Bottlehead Foreplay. They have an excellent reputation, a strong following and good resale value. Cary AE-3's come up from time to time for $300-350 used. They have a tiny footprint and sound very nice. I had one for a ... | |
| Pre Amp or Power Amp It's really about the synergy, not about one or the other. FWIW, in my experience, a tube preamp never brought the magic that a tube amp created. |
