| Phasemation cart on Technics @gochurchgo As @lewm mentioned, the sound will change as the cartridge breaks in. Hopefully you like where you end up. Best of luck! | |
| Phasemation cart on Technics @gochurchgo Yeah, sorry, aux weight too. The rest of the system consists of a Leben EL84 amp and Leben tube phono through Klipsch Forte IV speakers. | |
| Phasemation cart on Technics @gochurchgo I’m not a cartridge guru, but I am using the Phasemation PP-500 on a Technics 1210G (stock arm) with a Phasemation CS-1200 headshell (13.7g) and Oyaide BR12 mat (5mm). I’m definitely enjoying what I’m hearing... Also, I believe the lo... | |
| Coherent speakers from Canada @bjesien The Coherents look great. What’s the issue with the tweeter? | |
| Advice on Sterling LS3/6 Congrats! I’m really jealous of your deal… You said you intend to use a ss amp with them, but, if you’re not religious about this stuff (and maybe have the option to comparison shop?), the Stirlings sound fantastic with tubes. | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? @ghasley lol | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? @bjesien lol | |
| Sun Valley vs Sun Audio 300b @beattyomatic Sorry for the delayed response and thanks for the very informative post. What speakers are you using with the Sunvalley? | |
| Klipsch + NFB: Yea or Nay? Thanks for the response. So, basically, your view is an amp should always employ some amount of feedback? | |
| Tokyo for SET Lovers @auroravengeance That’s the hope, but can you suggest a store? @pindac Do you live in Tokyo? | |
| Decware Sarah 300B Amp? It is, but who wouldn’t want a Blade Runner-esque amplifier? It could be called The Rachel. | |
| Sun Valley vs Sun Audio 300b Any new developments to report? Did any of the above participants (or others) try either the Sun Audio or Sun Valley 300B amp? | |
| Leben CS300XS Tube Rolling @roncagg you read my mind. My first Leben developed an issue shortly after the first tube change (new production tubes though). That unit remains in repair limbo, so I still have no idea how the tubes could’ve damaged the amp (which of course make... | |
| Leben CS300XS Tube Rolling Lol. Because the music still sounds great, think I'll just take a wabi-sabi view on this one and direct my neuroses elsewhere (e.g., grills on or off? NOS or new? MM vs MC, etc). | |
| Leben CS300XS Tube Rolling @djspinner Yeah I seem to be on Brent's page (though I'd prefer @bjesien silence)... Leben #2 performs identically to Leben #1 in this regard: ear at tweeter has low level noise once the operation light comes on and it remains the same no matter ... |
