| Turntable upgrade: What to do? I had the Linn LP12 over a few years with the upgrades and switched to the VPI Aries. The sound was more dynamic and the Aries was easier to set up and stay in tune. Both tables are no slouch but I always felt the sound was a slight bit compressed... | |
| The plight of SACD.... Well said Brucegel. If your cd or sacd's sound better than your analog you've got a problem in that end. It does unfortunately cost a lot to get it right. I am making the reference from listening to the Audiomeca Mephisto cd player against the Not... | |
| Question about Aloia 11.01 pre-amp I don't know the technical aspects but this got the sleeper award. This was better than the CAT ultimate in my opinion. The Cat was more analytic. Aloia is smoother and more musical especially at the phono. The price is closer to reality also. | |
| No good new music? I purchased around 30 and just about all did nothing for me. Decent music but nothing for critical listening. I agree with Ben that the better stuff was from the same ol' established acts. Back to the lp's I guess | |
| Best as to what? Who are the forefathers of RAP? Obviously not musicians | |
| What's up with Piega P-10 prices? I wonder if their were any upgrades made to increase the price. They are excellent speakers and at $5000 it would be a bargain compared to other speakers. | |
| What is your most beautiful component? Audiomeca Mephisto | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? HMS cables | |
| Transitioning: back to solid state.... Is the college tuition money for you? Which college? For 2K you can't even buy books. | |
| has anyone heard of david sylvian ? Good luck on that. If you find a few let me know. I've got a few cd's of him with Robert Frippe that are great in that progressive way | |
| HMS TPO MATCH cables I spent about 2 hours with the settings on the interconnects and definitely noticed some changes. With the Piega-10 's I found the best setting was at 2. At 0 the soundstage is the biggest. When I switched to 1 and 2 the imaging was tidied up and ... | |
| Speaker Cable for Avalon Eidolons Newton is right'Beware of other peoples opinions". I would try the HMS cables with the 30 day free trial. These are excellent speakers and deserve the best. | |
| what the best phono preamp used with CAT SL1 Maybe it was the rest of my equipment but I replaced the CAT ultimate because of the Phono stage. It may of been it wasn't compatible with the amps I had at the time. It lacked robust and the dynamics I was looking for. I replaced it with a nice p... | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? "Triad" David Crosby or Grace Slick's version |
