Mike Lavigne's SystemSounds like great fun Mike.Here's another task that I loath, updating my equipment profile on A'gon. I can see that you don't like it either, given how far out of date your pictures are. Wi... posted about 15 years ago | View comment | |

Hi rez achieved while maintaining decor...System edited: I replaced my Sumiko Blackbird cartridge with Soundsmith's The Voice Ebony, with .6mV, tracking at 1.4g. Mine's the medium compliance version. I'll try to post a review soon. posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
Hi rez achieved while maintaining decor...Thanks Pierre. It's interesting to read how the other designers answered the same questions.BTW, I passed on those Vienna Acoustic. Still, thanks for the heads up.Dave posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
Hi rez achieved while maintaining decor...Good eye Pierre. That's wildly tempting. He hasn't even begun to break them in. I wonder why he says 9/10 instead of 10/10.I'll be in Minneapolis this week, maybe...Dave posted almost 16 years ago | View comment | |

Albert Porter's SystemBob, see if you can borrow a great isolation base to put on top of the VPI stand and under the TT. I'm using a great HRS M3 isolation base under my Pro-ject RM10 (inside a 200-pound armoire) and it... posted almost 16 years ago | View comment | |

Hi rez achieved while maintaining decor...No, not satisfactorily, since the 701 demand pretty strong juice. The Ultimate Ears are fantastic with only the iPod and on a par with the AKGs for timbral balance, with slightly stronger bass. I s... posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |

Hi rez achieved while maintaining decor...That makes you wonder how good iTune's error correction process really is. I think that I got a good transfer on this sample CD. I'll try to carve out some time to compare it via all the sources. posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |
