Nice. I have the SA-8100 and Heresys. Have you had your SA-x100 recapped or updated at all? I'm currently running an NAD amp into my Heresys. I'm planning on picking up a tube amp to drive them, but I wouldn't mind hearing how the Pioneer sounds after a refresh. (The NAD is a bit better right now...but still hard on a lot of recordings)


Kuma, as always, wins.

Hello proglife,
The amp is all original.
It sounds great BTW.
The WA6SE will be installed this weekend!
Picts coming Monday!!!

J.D.N.

A larger Naim kit offers better timing and wider dynamic envelope, but
even a Nait shares the same tune carring ability which is most important.

Enjoy! ( I am sure you are already )

My $20 turntable (jvc5250 bought@CL). I haven't set it up coz I need to replace the belt and I need a phono pre-amp.

Look to me like some sort of dampening device, to minimize vibrations... Good guess?

 

[doctorcilantro]

VERY cool!

Sometimes I think this might have helped push Harry toward the smaller sized original Scout design. Using a Hagerman Trumpet phono stage and a speed controller designed by Mark Kelly and built by moi. Enjoy, Bob

that was one of my guesses. seems a little silly though.

My entry level Project took a mid-fi turn recently. Please excuse the crappy pictures:



I'm sure the headphone amp would be better off somewhere else (away from the cartridge) but space is at a premium. Hence when I'm listening to speakers, it's switched off.



System shot:



Despite the look of it, this rack is level. Apparently my picture taking is not! Sony gear is from 10 years ago when they still made decent entry level gear.

My CD player is sadly dead at the moment, so my only digital source is my PC as transport into the minidisc deck. Out of that and the turntable, no prizes for guessing which sounds better...

 

[J.D.N]

Rymer, what cart is that on the TT?

 

[Geoff Rymer]

"Rymer"? Are you a school master or something?

"Geoff" will do ta...

It's a Benz Micro Glider H2. Sounds very good.

Must be some step up from your om10 ? Nice cart.

 

[Geoff Rymer]

BIG step up. Whether it is performing to it's full potential in my system is debateable, but at this stage I don't really care too much, it sounds so much better than the Ortofon!
