| Tube in Preamp or Power amp? Whichever way you choose to go, matching impedance level between preamp and amp is critical. There are many discussions in the archives. | |
| Do I Have the Wrong Cartridge? Stevecham, I'm saying the Grado Gold hums, I decided against the Ortofon based on it's tonal qualities; I'm looking for a warm sound (the opposite of the Ortofon and the Rega).The Sumiko was recommended to me, but they are not a dealer for that br... | |

| Rega Elicit R w/PSB speakers The Acoustic Arts is a nice amp, but a weak built-in phono stage is often the case. | |
| Rega Elicit R w/PSB speakers As in your other thread, advice will be the same; look for an amp that doubles it's power from it's 8 ohm rating to 4 ohms. (or close to double)The impedance curve of the One's shows how hard they are to drive; The amp has to be able to drive the ... | |
| Rega Elicit R w/PSB speakers Synch One or Two; big difference. The Ones need high current to drive their low impedance levels. If it is 105 wpc into 4 ohms it's too low. | |
| Powering PSB Synchrony Two Towers Tls49, you beat me to it. The amp needs to show specs for driving 4 ohm spkrs. Some manufacturers only show specs for 8 ohms. | |
| Powering PSB Synchrony Two Towers Dont get me wrong, I like my Synchs. Very lush and warm sounding, but the wrong CDP as in my case, or a bad CD can sound harsh due to the very detailed tweeter. Otherwise, they are very musical speakers.I'm using a Sunfire 300... 300 wpc/8 ohms, 6... | |
| Powering PSB Synchrony Two Towers Regarding the Synchrony line, they have terrific soundstaging, great bass extension, but keep in mind that they have metal tweeters. Selection of your front end is important as the highs can be harsh when not matched well with the preamp and sourc... | |

| What to upgrade? There is a standard for placement of absorption panels...2 vertical on front wall behind speakers, then on side walls at reflection points. That's to start with, then you may need bass traps, but with that open loft area, it's anybody's guess.I ca... | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions Mapman, a Linn dealer told me the reason the Axis was discontinued some years back was because it's sound was too close to the Sondek LP12 at a fraction of the cost. I guess they couldn't have their budget table competing with their top of the line. | |
| What to upgrade? All good advice...I think Mapman will get you closer to better sonics, but I'll add that you need some sound absorbing material or panels (you can make your own). for example...here | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions " I was wondering if anyone still uses these old designed turntables?"There are many dedicated LP12 users even today and also many Linn specialists who rebuild and upgrade them. I happen to like the Linn house sound, but yeah it's an old design an... | |
