| I'll never listen to another record... You guys are going to make me breakdown. ;-0 | |
| Help with Cartridge selection How do you like your music? Clean, clear with little coloration or do you prefer a little character? This might be hard to answer if you've been away from vinyl for a while. Any chance you can hear any of these in your system, or somewhere else?If... | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? Yep, it's all good. I believe I understand what Atmasphere was going for. However, I think for those in this upper end of the market the cost of an additional IC isn't that big of a deal. If a particular integrated sounds better than a particular ... | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? Yeah, I know I can find a few well regarded designers who'd pick that bone with Atmasphere and Raul. :-) | |
| rumble issues - see old thread update What I find bothersome about the MinusK, and I fully admit I have no experience with it, are the reports of these going into oscillation by something like a cd drawer opening and closing. It seems that they do dampen out and work, but I can't imag... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s loading question. And they may well sound better at 47 kOhms, on Allen's phono stages. But it is a valid point to make that it will be somewhat system dependent. I have heard my xv-1s on a friend's maxed out K&K and it sounded better up around 500. But my Alaap... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s loading question. Try around 100 ohms and go from there. | |
| Blue Note reissues Have you folks read Doug's method for determining what is irregular vinyl and what is mis-tracking? Simple and effective.I have to say that I've been happy with the Music Matters Re-issues. I think I have heard a little of the overload Mothra post... | |
| Graham Phantom B44 2 or Taela ? I completely agree that there is more to be had by aligning with a MintLP. I should get off of my duff and order one, but I had to purchase new drivers for my bass horns. Maybe next month.Yes we did get to mount the 901 for a while. Still sounds l... | |
| Is loud needle talk good or bad? It's only a problem if you can hear it over the rest of your system. :-) Relax, enjoy.And please don't try any of those "fixes" posted earlier with your particluar arm/cart. Well you can try them, but you'll absolutely hate the results. | |
| Furutech De Stat or Talisman? Yes, two different products for two different issues as Doug said. There is a difference between magnetic charges and static charges. So you really could use both products. I have the same $70 tool that Doug uses and a Zerostat. Again, each addres... | |
| Graham Phantom B44 2 or Taela ? Hi Pradeep, it was my pleasure and a lot of fun as well. I hope we can listen to music together again soon. So you went home after a visit with family, and with an arm load of records and maybe a new tonearm. Nice road trip! :-)Thanks, Doug and Pa... | |
| Changing from an XV1-S VPI, Conrad Johnson, Levinson. Very well know house sound from each of those for anyone who's been in an audio dealer's shop in the last 20 years or so. I'm glad you like it. | |
| Changing from an XV1-S [quot]I think the problem here is that nobody here has heard my system or heard what changes came about by changing the XV1-S.[/quote]Yes, but some of us have heard much of your system. Which is why we think some of the reasoning you posted is bol... | |
| Changing from an XV1-S No, not bad at all, Dcarol. You like how your system sounds and that is all that matters, for you. The rest of us must take your descriptions, filter that through our own experiences, and try to come to an understanding of what you meant. Case in ... |
