| High compliance and low mass or? Janvoom,Perhaps you're right. I should have written more specifically, "Does it make a difference at all since both cartridges PRODUCE a resonant freq of about 10Hz?"Is that better?Perhaps if you were to do a little research, you would find very e... | |
| High compliance and low mass or? The effecticve mass of the SME 309 is 9.5 grams. I would guess that is considered medium-light. | |
| Is the Dynavector XX-2 really an upgrade for me? C123666,Thanks for your reply. My 309 is a magnesium bodied tonearm. So, that being the case, it has more in common with the Seies IV and V that it does not, correct? So, taken one step further, the XX-2 will have much of the same operating qualit... | |
| Analysis Audio at High End Show Calanctus,I really wasn't in a spot to be able to accurately judge the quality of the sound but from where I was sitting, they didn't strike as very dynamic -- and I generally like planars and ESLs. | |
| Analysis Audio at High End Show I didn't spend much time there simply because I called them approx 2 weeks ago asking for pricing. The pricing I received at that time I thought was high. To my amazement, the pricing at the HE show was even higher, on average $3K per pair! | |
| Maggie 3.6 owners -- please help Thanks for the replies.Slipknot & Rooze -- I will using my Innersound ESL300 which from what I've read is a good amp for the 3.6s. While I'm sure there are better (Wolcotts for example) it will be a good start for me. My room is 14x20 and the ... | |
| Sweet not so sweet Duke -- I replied to your email but it was returned. Perhaps your box is full?? Do you have another account?Does anyone know about positioning requirements for the VR4 Sr? Thanks,Mike | |
| Sweet not so sweet Elgordo,Where do you place the room lens? In front of the TV? I don't have any problems (that I know of) with soundstaging or imaging. The imaging is stable and the soundstage is sometimes as wide as my room, extending beyond the speakers on some ... | |
| Sweet not so sweet Hi All. Thanks for the replies. I am really grateful for your suggestions and help.Elgordo -- since the Eroses are in my family room I have a big screen TV in between them so a room lens will not work.Ryan -- Thanks for your insight. There has to ... | |
| Sweet not so sweet Hi All,Thanks so much for the replies.Raquel -- I wasn't aware that the Dunlavy's had a small sweet spot. Do all time aligned speakers have a small sweet spot?Elgordo -- thanks for the simple suggestion! However, as my listening room and family ro... | |
| Sweet not so sweet Arthur -- thanks for the reply. I'll check into the JM Labs.Sedona -- that is what I'm afraid of -- not being able to come close to recreating the magic that the Eros produces (in the sweet spot that is).What made you choose the ET VIIIs?Thanks,Mike | |
| Negative feedback, voltage and output impedance All,Thanks for the replies. If I understand this correctly, if I want to buy a high power (voltage for ESLs) tube amp with low output impedance and low or no negative feedback, then I need to look at OTLs, correct?Thanks.Mike | |
| Negative feedback, voltage and output impedance Sean,The only amp I recall with user adjustable feedback is the Mesa Baron. I believe it is adjustable between 0 and 8db in 4 increments.This is an amp I am considering purchasing, btw. It is a very flexible (can also switch between all triode and... | |
| A phono preamp for less than $1200?? I have an EAR 834P MM/MC phono pre and like it very much. It is very easy to modify and tube roll with. It has 71dB of gain and will drive almost any MC cartridge out there. I bought a demo for less than $800 and a few months later, changed the tu... | |
| What tubes for a EAR p834 I recently purchased some fabulous NOS RCAs -- early 60s vintage from Andy at Vintage Tube Services. I must say that these tubes had an immediate positive impact on the sound. Less noise, more detail, greater dynamics. Overall, I'm very impressed.... |
