| Grado reference platnum or Grado statement platnum the low output version requires a fairly specialized phono preamp. MM inputs don't have enough gain, but many mc inputs - e.g., using transformers - won't work or won't provide adequate 47K loading. You'd probably be better off with the high outpu... | |

| can we still sort by zip code in items for sale? right, I want to be able to search locally for things that are difficult to ship, or too fragile. Sometimes I'd consider buying something if I see it, but not otherwise. So I hope they restore it. Along with the ability to contact members directly... | |
| can we still sort by zip code in items for sale? typing in the zip code in the search box does nothing. | |
| What is "low ball" Many prices listed by Sellers on Gon are absurdly high, for used stuff - especially cartridges or tubes "with only 200 hours" on them - with no warranty or realistic return option, and considerable legal risk. You see the same things which haven't... | |
| Lyra Delos vs Grado Statement Reference low output Glad I could contribute. My Statement Reference is the original type; no experience with the revised version. | |
| What is "low ball" "no low ballers" merely suggests that the Seller lacks negotiating skills. Believe it or not, there are people here who think you should pay 80% of retail for used gear with no manufacturer's warranty, then whine about lowballers if they get a mor... | |
| How do I install my cartridge? vewy, vewy carefully. No screwdriver? To really do it right, you also need an alignment gauge, a cartridge scale, and a Fozgometer. That is almost $450 worth of stuff, although someone with lots of experience may be able to do it with less. The ba... | |
| Lyra Delos vs Grado Statement Reference low output Detail from the Grado is not even close. I have had a Grado Statement Reference and a Lyra Delos (since upgraded to a Kleos). IMHO, the Grado is not in the same league. yes, the tonality of a Grado is very nice, but detail is absent - it produces ... | |
| How do reference speakers rank to today's standard IME, speakers seem to wear out about like cars. 2.5 years may be a safe bet, but 11? | |
| Lyra Delos vs. Kleos? I wouldn't say the high freq. of the Kleos is "warm and forgiving", certainly not compared to my low output Grado Statement Reference, which is. The Kleos seems a little smoother and more relaxed than the Delos, overall. I would have a hard time i... | |
| Lyra Delos vs. Kleos? Having upgraded from a Delos, I am one of those "happy Kleos owners who think it is a great cartridge." Syntax's system is beyond belief, so perhaps it, and his ears, reveal things few other systems would. Note that he has a Lyra Olympos. | |
| guitar solos where less is more second JJ Cale for restrained brilliance. There's a reason Clapton is so enamored with his work. | |
| Movies/TV Shows Look like Video I have noticed it too, and refrained from buying a newer monitor as a result. I have not seen any sets which have this so-called feature (e.g., Samsung 8000 series) where the feature is turned off. What is the name of this feature that makes every... | |
| Grado Ref Sonata alignment on Rega arm? I ignore the position of the cartridge body, which is irrelevant and more or less impossible to set correctly by eye, and align based on the cantilever (I used a Mint protractor.) |
