| Transients hurting my ears on hifi solid state amps THE OP's BUDGET IS $2000 ! | |
| Transients hurting my ears on hifi solid state amps Sounds like clipping and straining except for the Sphinx which I find fatiguing. Tube amps tend to soft clip so that could be a solution- find a deal on a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II or III and you will have plenty of power and dynamics with zero... | |
| My Medium List of Amplifiers and my Personal Review of Each ! Sure- Preamp- Cary SLP-05 Speakers- Spendor D7.2 Congrats on the amp- definitely give it at least 50 to 60 hours. I was ready to return it after the first couple of days. | |
| What speakers have you mistakenly let go and then later repurchased? Spendor D7. Didn't know what I had- sold them and 3 years later bought the D7.2 which are "it". | |
| SL-1200G/Hana ML Best Headshell The tested effective mass of the GR tonearm is the best actual data I have seen for this spec and the G arm should be very close to this number. Effective mass as spec'd for tonearms is a qualification of its inertia or resistance to motion, not... | |

| Power cords or power conditioner in the words of Nelson Pass the power cables supplied with Pass amplifiers are sufficient to deliver more current than the amplifier is capable of. Typical of most reputable amplifiers. Bark up another tree to improve the sound in the ways you... | |
| What should I expect moving from MM to MC? warmer and fuller are not necessarily what lomc carts bring to the table. you will get a cleaner, more refined sound which is abig step up in quality from most mm cartridges. also because of the lower moving mass an mc is typically more dynamic a... | |
| Direct Drive at least do a search before asking such a broad question, many forum threads are devoted to the recent Technics 1200 series. in short they are audiophile no brainers. | |
| Does a turntable make a DRAMATIC difference? Yes. Without starting a direct drive vs belt drive debate, just the facts as I have witnessed in my system and during demos. Started return to serious vinyl about 8 years ago, bought a very good high mass belt drive table and low output mc car... |
