| Cartridge for my Linn Sondek LP12? I agree with the recommendation made above on the Goldring 1042 cartridge. Very satisfying piece. I will say I do not like the Akito arm, that never did it for me. I would recommend you spend no more than the Goldring for that arm. If you want to ... | |
| ARC D115 Mk2 vs ARC M300 I have had much experience with ARC amps and also own and SP10, I know many have raved about the D115 but I never developed a liking for it. So think about this as you consider my recommendations. My favorite ARC amp was an unmodified D75A. It had... | |
| Best Speaker Cable choices for Solid State system I have used 1 speaker cable which I have kept for 10 years. Always sounded great to me so I have had no reason to change - Kimber 8TC. I feel this cable is reasonably priced and sounds great. While I cant say there are not better cables, these alw... | |
| Plinius sa250 overheating Sean, interesting reply. I had not thought of that. I appreciate the response, gave me something to think about. The CLS IIZ are a brutal load but the ams sounds so good on them. Ditto for my Cary's but the bass is a bit better with the Plinius. N... | |
| Plinius sa250 overheating I have a Plinius Sa250mkIV which I have been running for awhile. I had my first shut down this weekend. I normally run the amp for 4 to 10 hours in class A, decent volume with no problem. This is with Martin Logan CLS IIz speakers which are a diff... | |
| Horn speakers with Imaging? I have a homebuilt cabinets for JBL S8R system with potato masher horns. Awsome imaging and soundstage. I think it depends on how you set them up and how you drive them. Did you check to see if the speakers were connected in phase? That may be why... | |
| Attention LP12 Valhalla owners I believe there were 2 versions of the valhalla. One for 50hz and the other for 60 hz. I have some suggestions for you to check having gone through some problems with some of my previous decks.1. Check the motor. I thought I had a bad power supply... | |
| Sony SCD-XA9000. Comments, Opinions? Have one and am very pleased with it. This will probably be the last CD player I will purchase. While I have some SACD units, I purchased it mainly for the quality of the redbook section. I also have a Denon 2900 which I used for video use and som... | |
| Linn Sondek ? I love the Cardas Golden Ref but that can be pricey. They make a version for the Linn for $799 for 1.5 meters. Cardas suggested Brooks Berdan may have a lot of experience with the Linn and suggested I contact them if I was in California for info. ... | |
| Cary v12 using different output tubes I auditioned a V12 with KT88 tubes. I never heard it with the EL34. I just LOVE Cary equipment and own 3 of their amps and 1 preamp, but thought the KT88 tubes in this amp sounded not to my taste. My thoughts based on my ears, I would stick to the... | |
| KAV-2250 Thoughts? I had one, felt it was the best solid state I ever owned. Highly underated, can drive low impedance speakers (my CLSIIZ and ML Ascents) with ease, phenomenal bass, dynamics, imaginig and midrange. I went back to high power tubes but this came very... | |
| JBL Olmpus speaker system For the room, I have an L shaped basement. The speakers are in the vertical part of the "L" which is about 12 x 20. I have the speakers about 3 feet out from the wall and about 3 feet from one of the side walls. The speakers are about 6 feet apart... | |
| JBL Olmpus speaker system I have a homebuilt "Olympus" size cabinet using the 375 with potato masher, 075, LE15A, and PR15 passive radiator. I love the 375 and would highly recommend it. You must remember horn systems are ruthlessly revealing and will reflect any upstream ... | |
| Favorite H H Scott Tube Integrated Amplifier Someone told me one time, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I try to follow that with the exception of coupling caps. I think changing the coupling caps can many times improve the sound of the amplifiers to a significant level. But changing the res... | |
| Cary V12 and other tubes Please note my comments here are referencing the V12 with the KT88 tubes only, not with the EL34 tubes. So please take these comments in reference to that setup. I had just auditioned a used V12 (no letter version) that I was interested in buying.... |
