| I have joined in the ZYX Family Thaluza & racedoc. Thanks for verifying my observations. I haven't played around extensively with the loading. And I only have 100 & 470 ohm plugs at the time. I had more but apparently I sold them with the SUT which I sold several years a... | |
| I have joined in the ZYX Family One month later & I'm still enjoying the 4D. Playing with the loading now. 100 was good. 470 opens it up with more air. But its too disperse. IOW, sound stage is without good focus on some albums. Guess I need some resisters to make some loadi... | |
| Switch preamp? notesaddict. Glad I could help. It sounds like Don is quite backed up. Did he offer you an audition period? From my remembrance he uses top quality parts in his amps and preamps. I probably should have bought one of his preamps last year when I t... | |
| Switch preamp? notesaddict I am happy with the sound but ...Sounds like audiophilosis. I have it too. My system sounds better now than ever before. Yet I keep looking at tonearms and lately, tube amps. Before that tube preamps. I can give good reasons for... | |
| stereo receiver recommendations Shoff do not be afraid of the Luxman R-117 because it is not new technology. Do some research and read the reviews. This is one of the best receivers of all time! Willand I definitely would say the R-117 is legendary. I had the Luxman R-1... | |
| Is it possible to buy a decent tube amplifier in the $2000-3000 range? IIRC, the Conrad Johnson 2500A at 250 wpc was a high current amp made to push difficult loads. You can find a used one for 1600-1800 (I believe) I had one which was nice. It is a SS design with a tube warmth. | |
| I have joined in the ZYX Family Lew. I was shocked at the lack of hours on my Benz. My post above shows how I tracked the time. So, yes, 2000 hrs is quite a long time. I don't play for hours every day. But I listen to my fair share of vinyl and yet my cartridge has at the most 3... | |
| I have joined in the ZYX Family Buying anything without a warranty has risks. Some aren't willing. Some are. Thats why used equipment is sold daily. But not all buy used. My budget required me to buy used. Or owe a lot on credit card, LOC, etc. Everyone has their own set of prio... | |
| I have joined in the ZYX Family Chakster. I hear you. Two things I'll point out. There are more ways to replace Zyx than through Mehran I bought mine used (200 hrs) at a ridiculous low price. The owner, another audiophile, bought a Universe at a great price and only had this mou... | |
| I have joined in the ZYX Family This cartridge is addicting. Racedoc, I'm probably only 1/2 gr from the 25 now. Thanks for the info. | |
| I need a fitting/appropriate tonearm for my Teres 340 I am very pleased with the Zyx. And my system sounds better than ever. My tonearm is a good one. However it doesn't have VTA on the fly and no azimuth adjustment which is normal for Origin Live. I haven't tried other arms and would love to hear th... | |
| I need a fitting/appropriate tonearm for my Teres 340 OK, I mounted the ZYX 4D G SB low output cartridge to my arm on Tuesday. First impression. WOW!!. The dynamics were off the chart. Actually a little too much. But, the cartridge hadn't had time to settle. Even so, the separation of instruments was... | |
| I need a fitting/appropriate tonearm for my Teres 340 Well, I took Rauls advice and bought a ZYX 4D G SB. Lets see what changes are brought about. My Benz Ebony L is a good cartridge. However, one reviewer replaced his Ebony L with the 4D. We'll see. I've been wanting a Zyx. | |
| I need a fitting/appropriate tonearm for my Teres 340 I own a zyx airy 1000 on a conqueror mk 2 arm. Arthur Salvatore said that the zyx is very sensitive to VTA and VTF. I USE A VTAF from Pete Riggle , vta on the wind,and it is very useful when you listen to a modern flimsy record and then a speake... | |
| I need a fitting/appropriate tonearm for my Teres 340 Interesting concept Raul. I know you are much more experienced with tonearms and cartridges than I am. I think I am satisfied with the cartridge and have felt the weak spot to be the arm...IF there is a weak spot.I did see a Zyx Airy 1000 G with S... |
