Albert Porter's SystemAlbert, Have you tried the Atlas in the 312S arm yet? Most curious about your impressions and particularly how the Atlas directly compares to the Supreme in the same arm. Thanks. posted almost 14 years ago | View comment | |
Rockitman's SystemRockitman,Did you ever audition speaker wire from Transparent? I'm curious because that is what Wilson uses in its speakers and it is supposed to be very good, though I have never tried it in m... posted almost 14 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemAlbert, those three days sound like they were a blast. Did your audio group compare your Supreme on the 312S to your new Atlas? Have you listened enough to share some overall impressions of the dif... posted almost 14 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemMike, Nice report. Yes, it is subjective and thanks for the qualifications. I'm not surprised that you did not hear anything as good as your system at home. I've only been to two shows and I did no... posted almost 14 years ago | View comment | |
Suteetat's SystemSuteetat, Have you had a chance to compare the Air Tight Supreme to the Coralstone? I'm also curious if you have ever had the opportunity to compare an SME table to your TW Acustics. Your system mu... posted almost 14 years ago | View comment | |

Sublime SoundThank you John. I'm amazed at what this table can extract from the grooves. I took careful listening notes while I compared it to the Model 10 with the same SME V arm and PC-1 cartridge from my old... posted about 14 years ago | View comment | |
Sublime SoundLapierre,I'm afraid you won't be able to pry my Minis away. There are a couple for sale now. One, I think, is quite reasonably priced. The only downside I see is the need for very powerful ampl... posted about 14 years ago | View comment | |
Sublime SoundHello Lapierre, I love small monitor speakers and given my room size and decor, I'm extremely pleased with the Magico Mini 2. The Mini 2 is gorgeous IMO and it sounds excellent, so I'm not interest... posted about 14 years ago | View comment | |

Rockitman's SystemLove the photos of your room. The wide angle makes the XA100.5 look HUGE. I know Pass/Wilson are a great combination, so your system must sound great. Could you describe the sonic difference you he... posted about 14 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemAlbert,Did you isolate the difference between the new and longer PC and the effect of having the Mk3 power supply on the Vibraplane to determine which provides the greater improvement? I found ... posted about 14 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemMike,Do you think any machine cleaning second is always at an advantage? I ask because this seems to make sense on a previously uncleaned record. However, if the record had already been cle... posted about 14 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemI did a brief direct comparison between an early version of this machine and my Loricraft PRC 4 Deluxe. The Audio Desk was much easier to use and faster. We cleaned one side of a friend's LP on his... posted about 14 years ago | View comment | |

Albert Porter's SystemYou should espouse the virtues of the Trans Fi by starting a new thread about that product. Many more members will be exposed if it is in its own thread, IMO. posted about 14 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemSpirit,I think you should start two new threads: one on the Trans Fi and the other on the Zu speakers. Those may be more appropriate places to discuss these products and you may get more exposu... posted about 14 years ago | View comment | |
