2-channel setupCount me as another Cary fan :) My setup was 90% similar to yours: CD306, SLP-05, CAD-805AE and CAD-211AE. But after extensive listening, I decided that the system sounded better mono-amped so the ... posted almost 17 years ago | View comment | |

Southern Lights (Acapella Violon)Thanks again Aaron. What happened to your system on Audiogon? You removed it? I was hoping to find some pictures of your Basis turntable there. And thank you for the other recommendations. ... posted about 17 years ago | View comment | |

Southern Lights (Acapella Violon)Just got off the phone with Murali. He recommends: Airtight PC1, Copperhead tonearm, DPS2 turntable, and Einstein phono stage. He felt that the Copperhead arm is superior to the Schroder (yes I kno... posted about 17 years ago | View comment | |

Southern Lights (Acapella Violon)Thanks again Aaron for your contribution. At the moment I am undecided between the Schroder and the Continuum Copperhead. They are both roughly the same price but the Copperhead's advantage is that... posted about 17 years ago | View comment | |
Southern Lights (Acapella Violon)Mickep, you are right - just two years ago I was still enjoying the system I bought as a penniless university student. It was getting rather long in the tooth - the speakers were bought in 1993! I ... posted about 17 years ago | View comment | |
Southern Lights (Acapella Violon)Right now I am looking at getting back into vinyl. Considering the following setup: Verdier Platine, Schroder tonearm, Airtight PC1 cartridge, and Audio Research PH5 phono. Any comments before I go... posted about 17 years ago | View comment | |
Another lightThank you for your response Mickep. I think that amp matching with the Violons is pretty critical - on one hand it likes a lot of power, but on the other it is so revealing that any second rate amp... posted about 17 years ago | View comment | |
