| Direct Drive Congratulations, Mahler123. Really looking forward to your listening impressions when you get the deck - and the stylus upgrade is a good move. | |
| Direct Drive @mahler123, I've owned a number of classic cars, so I get what you are saying. A few further comments... The new Technics designs are much better than the old "disco" 1200. As you already have a phono stage/s, I think its worth going for the SL121... | |
| I think I just smoked my Amp Fuses can fail randomly from thermal/mechanical stress, but also, alternatively, from component failure. If the amp has failed transistors, it's not necessarily the end, depending on whether replacement transistors are available. However, on an ... | |
| Direct Drive @Mahler123 - time zone differences accounting for late reply. I'm not saying that the Technics is entry level. But given that you have had two pretty good turntables that didn't float your boat, I'm not sure a Technics 1500 will either and it's a ... | |
| Direct Drive The Technics 1500's phono stage and Ortofon cartridge are really just "get you started" inclusions. Compared to the Clearaudio concept, the Technics will sound like it has more "get up and go" but it is a bit ragged tonally in the midrange and tr... | |
| Busted! Reviewer copies manufacturers sales page in review? The publication of damning reviews would increase the risk of litigation. I know there are ways of insulating from this but it's still an issue. | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? Having a really good DAC helps enormously. In my case it's an Esoteric N-01XD. The N-01 is clocked with a Cybershaft OP21. I mostly use it via Roon fed from my custom PC fitted with a JCAT USB Card XE and which is hardwired to my router. (A big ... | |
| Burned Pecan Pi @Fishdoctor, if you have any potential interest in Roon, you'll get far better value by splitting out the DAC component from everything else. Get a Windows computer with a fast hard disc and a CD drive and team it up with a decent DAC. That's al... | |
| Indentical measurments = Identical performance? The conventional performance measurements of hi fi are summative and the wood does not necessarily describe the trees. Walking through the wood is a different experience to looking at if from an helicopter. Neither experience invalidates the other... | |
| Placement of Components Placement away from the speakers is good for imaging, but this can be mitigated by moving the equipment towards the front wall - assuming the speakers are some distance forward of it. Placement between the speakers does allow for shorter (cheaper)... | |
| Down sizing Apologies to the OP, but I don't understand why you are running two separate amplifiers currently rather than simply running all your sources into your existing Primaire preamp. Is there something about the sound of the Tandberg Receiver that you ... | |
| Bowers and Wilkins, 801 D4 The current Sashas are way better than the originals. It's debatable whether the same progress has been made in the evolution of the 801s. Personally I think B&W have regressed, while Wilson have advanced - and that is based on listening to bo... | |
| Recommendation on speakers for listening to live music Exactly as clearthinker says. It's a fallacy to conclude that because the recording is of a live event, that you need speakers that employ similar technology to those used at the event itself. PA systems are driven by the need to go as loud as pos... |
