| B&W 805D vs. Dynaudio Contour S1.4 Okocza,My system is comprised of a Jeff Rowland Continuum 500 integrated amp, an LP12 turntable with Graham 2.2 arm and Dynavector DV20XL cartridge. I am using the Linn Linto phono preamp, but my Rowland also has the built-in phono stage. I haven'... | |
| B&W 805D vs. Dynaudio Contour S1.4 Thanks Stricken, I didn't know that. I will look them up. | |
| B&W 805D vs. Dynaudio Contour S1.4 Thank you to all for taking the time to provide feedback. Unfortunately, a side-by-side comparison is not possible. I live in Scottsdale and the hi-end audio scene is dismall here. None of the local B&W retailers have 805D's available and Dyna... | |
| B&W 805D vs. Dynaudio Contour S1.4 Thanks for the feedback Zormi. I can afford the C1's, but I can't get past how they look. I want a speaker that sounds great and that is also aesthetically pleasing. Am I asking too much?? | |
| Load setting for Dynavector DX-20XL In order to change it, I need to take the amp apart and remove the phono board. I was hoping to avoid that.Thanks for your input. | |
| Is there a great LP12 set-up person in SoCal? Thanks everyone. Gglinn, I'll definitelty give Kurt a call. If I can get it set-up locally, that would be preferable.Thanks again. | |

| Jeff Rowland 8T with Wilson Sasha w/p? David,Over the past week, I have been demo'ing in my home, the Rowland Continuum 250w integrated. It sounds very good with the Sophia's. It is dead-quiet and the realism is quite something. I have been listening to the new Jeff Beck record. The tr... | |
| Jeff Rowland 8T with Wilson Sasha w/p? Aldenberry,I'm coming at it from the other side. I just bought a pair of Sophia 2's and I am looking at changing out my amplification. Last week, I spent some time on the phone with a gentleman at Wilson. I was looking for suggestions from him reg... | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? Pioneer Elite DV79-AVi multi player. I picked it up for $400 new on Agon and this gives way more expensive CD players a run for the money. I can't believe how good it sounds, and it plays CDs, SACD and DVD. | |
| What is the best arm for a Linn Soundeck 12 My local dealer has been selling LP12's since the beginning. Every one of the guys who works there (except one) has a Graham arm on his LP12, either the 2.0 or 2.2. The one guy who doesn't has an Ittok because he can't afford the Graham. I find th... | |
| New LP12, I like some things and some I don't. You may want to have the Ekos looked at as well. The early examples are notorious for having some bearing issues that can definitely affect the sound. Have a dealer give it a once over, | |
| Phono stages belong to which tier? Where would you guys place the Linto? | |
| VPI Classic dimensions Thanks. | |
| Dyna 20XL and Shelter 501 II - fixed load ? Mingles,The 20XH has too much output for the Linto, or so I've been told. I believe it was designed for low output moving coils only.Thanks Mofimadness - I've been leading towards the Shelter. |
