| Synergy @lewm Great minds again. To me "synergy" when it comes to HiFi equipment is trying to fix an error with a corrective error. If you have a system that is too bright you fix the brightness, not add a dull whatever. Matching equipment is very imp... | |
| Synergy Good for you RV. At this moment I am listening to Neville Marriner's L'Estro Armonico on Decca (Argo) records. Vivaldi was the rock and roller of his day. Too many notes! They had the same complaint of Charlie Parker. Just music. | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers Nothing special, seriously overpriced, terrible way to design drivers. They do not have a prayer in America were we have so many great speakers at way more reasonable prices. The British also do a much better job. | |
| Where to go next with the turntable @traudio "More bass warmth" is a speaker/room/amplitude issue. All the best cartridges are very close in amplitude response striving for a flat curve from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. They are all within a dB of each other. As far as turntables go the rea... | |
| What happens when the stylus tip wears out on a $12,000 cartridge? @pindac Atlas does exactly that. They have a $450 service fee which covers cleaning, stylus check and tune up. The problem is you lose your cartridge for 6 months. @mulveling Excellent answer. I have a feeling that in some instances the owner... | |
| I took Frank Zappa’s advice @wolf_garcia You need to listen to The Yellow Shark, Jazz Form Hell and Uncle Meat all the way through. Zappa will be remembered as the one of the greatest composers of the 20th century and he was just getting started when he died of prostate ca... | |
| how to use LDA quartz regenerator??? help Simple, You bought the wrong turntable. I suggest you sell it and buy a modern turntable. You will be much happier. | |
| Synergy RV it is not Synergy. Cheap moving coil cartridges suck. Many of us believe there are MM and MI cartridges that are much superior in that price range. One of the very best cartridges I've had in my system was the Soundsmith Voice. It is a $3000 MI... | |
| Started with $1k speakers … what now? You need to tell me what amp you are using, what music you listen to and how loud you like to listen. | |
| Does a turntable mat make any difference? @atmasphere I was figuring 20 ohms at 100 Hz where I start rolling off. @jjbeason14 I would just toss it, it is probably garbage anyway. The plastic protractor that came with my MoFi Beatles set was crap. | |
| SUT experience Wow @rauliruegas , that was really popping the OPs balloon. @adrianleewelch Unfortunately, Raul is correct. Your best way forward would be with a dedicated phono stage. You might also want to look at the Channel D Lino C, it is a killer phono st... | |
| Does a turntable mat make any difference? @atmasphere They are going to handle 5K and below. 5K and up is going to a Bricasti Design M25 which has a very low output impedance and doubles at least up to 2 ohms which is 600 watts. It has a HUGE power supply. I know the is less energy from... | |
| Does a turntable mat make any difference? @atmasphere From 5 kHz? | |
| Does a turntable mat make any difference? @atmasphere It gets rid of the RC network between the transformers and will definitely extend the high end. The question is will my old ears be able to hear it. It will also take a big load off the MA 2s as the processor is pushing the amps to m... |
